Awesome.
Kids, put down the Fall Out Boy garbage and get some classic NFG. Best pop punk album of all time. This is where it came from.


Not much to hear here
The bands all sound the same. This kind of pop-punk is relatively common, and is plagued with the same problem: It lacks identity. I cant recall any points of interest on this release, it just comes off as dull, boring, and weak. What I notice most is how poor the songwriting is. There is some embarrassing, uninspired lyric-writing at work here. The lyrics alone make it hard for me to listen. I try to be very honest and open-minded when I listen to music, but I just can't see any reason to buy this disc over all the similar ones out there. .


really good.
reminds me of a poppier version of lifetime. rougher than the rest of their releases.


Greatest Pop Punk Record Ever? It Just Might Be...


Like the title states, I think this is one of the greatest pop punk records ever. First off, I a not a kid, I'm 17. It may not be the most technical, the best produced, or the most original record of all time, but it certainly is well written and fun. Each of the different band members brings a certain style and flair not pulled off in this genre. Chad was in a Hardcore band known as Shai Hulud and knows how to lay down some heavy guitar. Steve doesn't play half bad either. Cyrus can play some pretty steady beats and keeps the rhythm well, he may not be the most tallented but he sure can play better than a lot of people. I wish we could hear Ian more, A New Found Glory has a tight rhythm section so I know that he is good. Last but certainly not least is Jordan. Man, I love his vocals. It may turn more than a few people off about this band, but in this record they are delivered with a lot of emotion, but don't dare call them emo, than with later records. The songs are all well written and I can't find a bad one on "Nothing Gold Can Stay. " The sound clips have been taken out and do not distract from the listening experience. Sure the production sucks but I wouldn't have it any other way. It suites the music very well. This is, in my opinion, the best New Found Glory CD. So if you are a fan of the band or just looking for a great pop-punk album you have got to pick this CD up.


Garage pop-punk?
While looked upon with disdain by many rock fans, it is actually a pretty fun genre. New Found Glory is one of those bands out right now with the sound of a proper punk band, but filled to the brim with poppy hooks and high, whiny vocals. You get rock but with all of the fun of power pop. New Found Glory was one of the first of these bands, and really has become one of the more popular ones.

This debut cd by them has none of the glossy pop production that some of their later cds have. A good thing for most music, i feel that for a band like this it takes away the fun and it sounds melodramatic and so overly angsty that it just becomes hard to listen to. If you listen closely, there are a bunch of decent songs, but they just get lost in the static. Better luck next time.
