Songs For Staying Awake


"That Thing You Do" and "Goonies R Good Enough" is typical punk, nothing really special, and not really memorable. From the firs note, you'll be blasted on a punk roller coaster covering some of the most successful and popular songs of all time, giving a much needed break for these songs that are taken far too seriously in their original versions. But this is quickly erased with songs like "Never Ending Story Theme Song" which is pumped up with so much adrenaline, forget about sleeping for awhile, and it's packed with so much fun, you can't help love this song. "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" and "The Glory of Love" put a light side into songs that take themselves way too seriously, and that were unduly successful.

"(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" again appaulingly puts a "classic" in its place, almost making fun of it, rocketing through the chorus that is so vocally Bryan Adams, NFG doesn't even look back, they're too busy going to the next song which is. . .

"My Heart Will Go On" is the second-most successful song ever by a female, being so recognizable, and classic. . . Not anymore, New Found Glory blaze through the familiar notes, through the spots where Celine showed off her vocals, and in the end, the song is unashamedly ripped apart in almost parody fashion. So fun, so amazing, so punk.

That was quick. . . Overall, though it is amazingly short, they really do some classics justice, and put the originals in their place. This is a pure fun, rockin' punk album that is not for the faint of heart and/or music critics. The world of music will never be the same again.


please someone answer
i would like to know if this only has the cover of the cd or has a book with the lyrics and stuff like that. . please someone thanks!.


Go for it, this CD is a good time
NFG takes classic easy-listening songs from movies and puts their own spin on it. Any true fan of New Found Glory has this CD and will tell you they're hoping and praying for the day the band does another EP of cover songs. The results will make you smile, rock out, tap your foot, nod your head, maybe even laugh. This CD marked the end of the raw sound and minimal production for the band. This EP wouldn't be the same if it didn't sound like it was recorded in someone's basement. Jordan's voice still sounds like he's singing in the shower, which is not to say that he sings off-key. Buy this CD, blast it in your car with the windows down, and laugh at all the people staring at you, jealous that you're having such a good time.


New Found Glory does it again...
Their cover of The Never Ending Story song and Goonies R Good Enough was simply awesome. Despite it being nothing but covers and only eighteen and a half minutes long, it's still great little NFG fix. This was my first pre-self titled NFG cd and I wasn't sure if I'd like the unpolished sound of New Found Glory 'back in the day' if you want to put it that way. Trust me, if you're a huge NFG fan and are craving more after their most recent three efforts, the unpolished stuff will most likely settle right in after about 15 minutes as it did with me. I got the This Disaster DVD the same day and I went home, put in FTSTYS, thought it sounded a bit ugly because I wasn't used to the underproduction, went to wacth This Disaster instead (which had the same unpolished sound for the vocals), went back to FTSTYS afterwards, and loved it right away. But I guess if you're used to (or like) underproduction then this won't be a problem at all for you. Like a previous reviewer said, this isn't original NFG, but it makes these songs much better.

Pretty sweet deal if you happen to have eight bucks around and nothing to do with it.
