My 60-second review of New Kids on the Block's "The Block"

Step by step, they made it back to my heart.

I spent 2.5 hours last night (and another 1.5 this morning) listening to the new NKOTB masterpiece, "The Block," released Tuesday. And let me just say, these boys still got it. The right stuff, that is.

I'm not much of an album reviewer, but I know good lyrics when I hear 'em. So, I've picked out the five best gems this album has to offer. See below:

1. From "Don't Cry": "What if God wants to take me away? Oh, you better take me like it's the last time."

2.From "Lights, Camera, Action": "You can get the lights, I'll set up the camera, let's get to the action."

3. From "Dirty Dancing": "Oh, it's so crazy, she's like Baby, I'm like Swayze."

4. From "Grown Man (ft. Pussy Cat Dolls)": "Gonna give you some grown man."

5. From "Sexify My Love": "Sexify my love."

Bonus: And a hidden jewel tacked to the end of "Stare At You" is a sweet spoken-word moment between one of the dudes (my guess is Donnie or Danny) and his young daughter.

New Kid: "Do you know the name of Daddy's singing group?"
New Kid's kid: "No."
New Kid: "It's The Block."
New Kid's kid: "I thought it was New Kids on the Block."
New Kid: "That's right."
