Summary: The Brainchildren of Michael Bivins
Comment: It would be easy to dismiss ABC as a novelty act, but they actually had some pretty tight production and some decent lyrics (courtesy of their mentors Dallas Austin and Michael Bivins). Not to mention the fact that the boys could sing! The kids shine on new jack swing/bubblegum pop cuts, like "Iesha" and "Playground", but fail to convince when they attempt to sound "tough" on some of their other songs like "Little Soldiers". If you take it for what it is (an album for kids and by kids) and don't hold it up against adult new jack swing acts from the same era, it's actually a fairly solid album.

Summary: Not a brilliant creation, but not a bad one either
Comment: Another Bad Creation had a couple of fun summer jams in 1991 with "Iesha" and "Playground." There's really nothing special here, but these kids seem to be having fun, and I certainly had some fun jamming to this back in the day. And, though I generally tend to hold New Edition to much higher standards, I was impressed with ABC's cover of their song "Jealous Girl," and I think they did NE a favor there.

Summary: I like the album but I'm a lil bias
Comment: I must admit it was a great ablum but I guess I would say I would be a lil more bias with it because I am a friend on one of the former memebers of the group but the fortunately the guys didn't let the stardom get to them.

Summary: Coolin' at the Playground...YA KNOW!
Comment: Are u kidding me!! I'm such a product of the late 80's and 90's. I was 12 1/2 when this came out, and The Boys were no longer "in" for me, now came ABC. IESHA YOu are the girl that I never had and I want to get to know you better. Classic, classic. I used to play this cassette until it died. I will never ever forget going to my cousin's house in GA and she told me that she had 2 of the group member's home phone number and we called their house at least 3 times a day and I remember one of their grandfather's getting mad at us saying "WILL YOU PLEASE STOP CALLING, THEY ARE ON THE ROAD!!!" CLICK. I wonder what they are doing now?

Summary: This was one of my favorite groups
Comment: I bought the tape when it first came out. My favorite songs were "Iesha," "Coolin' At The Playground," "Jealous Girls," and "My World." I haven't seen my tape since the early 90s and I still remember the words to some of these songs. I sure would love to see how Red, Mark, Ro Ro, Lil' Dave, Chris and G.A. look now. I loved this group.
