Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Joey McIntyre is having an identity crisis. He has grown up with his fans from the boy band days but has a younger audience from his show on MTV. His attempt to impress all age groups fails with the misguided Meet Joe Mac. The album is a hotch-potch of musical styles and influences. The first single, "Rain," is a mid-tempo inspirational ballad that smells distinctly of Matchbox Twenty's reject pile. "If I Run Into You" sounds a bit rocky like Green Day. "The National Anthem of Love" has the simplest lyrics this side of "Happy Birthday" (and is only slightly more tuneful). Even more appalling, McIntyre actually raps in the amateurish "NYC Girls". The only track that belongs on this disc is "Easier", an Elton John-esque love song that really exploits the power of McIntyre's voice. Joey McIntyre has a great voice, but his material really couldn't be worse. --Courtney Kemp

This is excellent album. It proves that Joey McIntyre is one of the best singers and writers around at the moment. The CD is full of powerful songs full of emotion and feeling. Along with fun songs with strong rhythm and powerful vocals.

I got this album when it was first released in the States and I haven't stopped listening to it yet! Joe Mac is definately past his NKOTB days and is now writing all his own material with such a maturity and depth that you could hardly associate him, now, with the teenybopper image of the NK's in their day. I have been a fan of his since 1989 and totally love his new look and sound, it so much different than Stay the Same in 1999. "Rain", is a catchy guitar lead track that really makes you want to sing out the chorus full blast. From the heart, a song full of meaning, "Mrs Callahan" is a haunting song, definately one to sit back and think about. Another of my favourites is "Easier", where Joe shows the power of his voice, again not recognisable from back in the day. But I love so many of them, "Walking My Baby Back Home", "We Don't Want to Come Down", If I Run Into You!", I guess there isn't really a song I don't like, Each track has a different sound and all but one of the songs is written by the man himself, therefore taking you an emotional and fun filled journey and with so many fantastic tracks on this album its just so hard to really say what is "THE" song on there, its definately going to be a hit no matter what gets released as singles. Joe Mac is certainly one to sit up and take notice of right now and his material should be brought to the UK, because I am totally convinced that people who cringed at the mention of NKOTB, will be tapping their feet as soon as the CD starts spinning!

Having been a fan of Joey McIntyre since 1989 , back when he was a member of New Kids On The Block, I was eagerly anticipating the release of 'Meet Joe Mac ' his second solo album . This album has a more mature , polished sound than the first . It still has a slightly poppy feel , but it's more along the line's of a soft rock album . Favourite tracks include 'Rain' an impressive ballad , 'If I Run Into You' a funky upbeat tune which could easily be a Wheatus song , and 'Walking My Baby Back Home' , which rumour straight from Mr McIntyre himself , has it that it could well be the next single after 'Rain'. Although there are no boring moments on this album , so it's difficult to choose favourites. You get the impression that you're getting more of an insight into the real 'Joe Mac' on this album than the last . And the vocals are spot on , here's an artist who's truly grown , and is continuing to grow in the public eye . Overall a brilliant album , with at least 10 out of the 12 tracks being strong enough to become single material . My only wish is that he'd hurry up and release some of it in the UK.
