New Kids On The Block::Long-Awaited Comeback

Ever since the New Kids On The Block dissolved in 1994, fans have been eager to see the true "first boy band" reunite. However, due to multiple unsuccessful attempts, including a failed attempt in 1999 by MTV and yet another failed attempt in 2004 by VH1's "Bands Reunited", the future looked bleak for the multi-platinum artists.

The band member's all went their separate ways after the 1994 split. Members Jordan Knight, Joe McIntyre, and Danny Wood all went onto achieve low-key commercial solo success, while member Jonathan Knight left the entertainment business entirely to pursue a successful real estate career and member/front-man Donnie Wahlberg followed in younger brother and early New Kid Mark's footsteps and went on to create a successful acting career including roles in "Band of Brothers" and the horror giant "Saw" series.
Fans, eager to see the band back together, waited and waited for news of a reunion tour or a comeback, but by the end of 2004, it looked as though New Kids On The Block would fade into another group doomed to live in their fans memories.
However, in April of 2008, fans of NKOTB got HUGE news from member Donnie Wahlberg via CNN. The statement made by Donnie told fans that a comeback was in the works and a new album and tour to follow would start in the early summer.

After this statement, various new tracks were leaked onto the internet, including the massively bootlegged and former first single, "Click Click Click" which can be heard through a link at the bottom of this article.
More songs followed and eventually the first single was replaced by the newer track "Summertime" which would eventually be announced as the new album title.
The group as been around to many tv and radio stations promoting the new single and performed for the first time together in over a decade on NBC's "Today" singing "Summertime".
Can the group make a comeback?
Are the new songs good enough for the group to outdo their former success?
We will just have to watch and see as this legendary group who has sold over 70 MILLION albums worldwide, can once again rise to the top as one of the most successful and talented groups to ever exist.

Gosh I remember the first time they came out. What a craze it was. Never liked them too much but I respect the fact that they brought fresh air to the industry back in the day.

Thanks for the opportunity to have a sneak preview. I don't think Click Click Click is a disaster. It could have even been a good song if the lyrics weren't cheesy and it wasn't sung by a boyband.

Oh well...
