Wahlberg: New Kids were not good

New Kids On The Block's Donnie Wahlberg has said that he felt the press were sometimes justified in their past criticisms of his band. In an interview with AOL Music Sessions, he admitted that when the band were first together their songs and performances "weren't good". However, he's positive about the fans' reaction to the band's comeback, saying "For these fans to come back, it obviously speaks to the connection we had with them".
