The New Kids on the Block were one of the biggest boy bands of all time. The group hit their peak during the late 1980’s and the early 1990’s. The group disbanded in the early 90’s. Fans of the group were pleased when the group reconvened with the original line up in 2008 and hit the road touring. Not only is the group touring again, they have completed a brand new studio album titled “The Block.” The new album features all new material and the brand new single “Summertime.”

To promote the new tour and the new album, Sony Legacy Recordings has released the brand new album “New Kids on the Block Greatest Hits.” The 18 song disc features the groups most well known songs.

Popular up-tempo singles “Step by Step,” “You Got It (The Right Stuff),” and “Hangin’ Tough” are all here. Classic ballads “I’ll Be Loving You Forever,” “Valentine Girl,” and “Please Don’t Go Girl,” are all here. The biggest New Kids on the Block hits are here. The set is not without the songs “Tonight,” “Games,” and “Cover Girl.” The songs “Dirty Dawg” and “This One’s For The Children,” are not featured on this greatest hits compilation.

Included on the set are several solo songs. The song “The Right Combination,” by Seiko featuring Donnie Wahlberg is featured on this compilation as well as “Angel of Love,” the song by Ana with Jordan Knight. Joey McIntyre’s solo song “Stay The Same” is featured on the disc. The compilation closes with the “2008 New Kids On the Block Mega Mix.” This mix sounds like it was thrown together with bits and pieces of the groups biggest hits. More effort could have been placed into this mega mix.

Overall, “New Kids On The Block Greatest Hits,” is a great investment. The disc features a pull out poster which features tour dates and a brand new color booklet. Fans of New Kids on the Block will be very pleased.
