THis is a VERY good cd
And I've seen a lot of reviews saying this is a bad cd because its not "punk" because it is too "poppy". Now, I understand that everyone has their own opinion when it comes to music, and I respect that, so I'm not trying to "bash" anyone's reviews of this cd. Music evolves over time, so this is definately not what "punk" originally started out as, but if you look at all the "pop-punk" bands' influences, they include bands like Rancid, The Ramones, and The Clash, becuase thats what these bands really based their music off of, so all of these bands like Blink 182, NFG, and other pop-punk bands have punk roots but the music evolved. And I'm not saying original punk is not good, i like it, i like everything, im just saying that if you look at every style of music you will notice it has evolved. Nowadays, heavy metal is not like it was back when AC/DC and MEtallica were starting, and even bands now will never sound how the Beatles started out. It just doesn;t work that way, music evolves and so do bands. So I respect everyone's opinions, and this is mine, I like this band and this cd I believe is their best. If you like bands like Blink 182 and Home Grown, you'll definately like this band, even if you don't like those bands, give it a listen and see if you can broaden your horizons.


best of all time
if you don't like this cd, you don't like music. I seriously hate you if you don't like this cd. This is NFG's best CD (yes, better than Sticks and Stones, Catalyst and Coming Home, which are all good). Every song is friggon awesome.


One of the best in this genre
I listen to a lot of really heavy
music but I can appreciate stuff like this. What else needs said? NFG has been around for quite a while now,
and this is probably their best CD, great song structure and riffs,
lyrics most people can relate to.

Roller coaster of high-enery pop-punk drama
It's not that these guys are any better or any worse or any more than somewhat different, but everything they've done is just plain fun to listen to. Now that I have every New Found Glory album except Noting Gold Can Stay, it really is extraordinary to go back to the very beginning. At the time this CD came out, they were still sitting contently on the throne of stardom. And because they were so well-known in the pop-punk scene, it makes sense that the albums they did during that time would be essential for anyone into the genre.

With a crunching intro, "Better Off Dead", and slick follow-up "Dressed To Kill", from the first few chords listeners know they're in for a treat. Granted, dedicated fans also know what to expect: up-tempo, energetic tunes about all those girls with whom contact and chemistry has been lost. They've more or less kept that equation the whole time they've been together--because it works.

While I haven't heard their very first CD, I have heard the original "Hit Or Miss". And you know what? The second one, found here, is better. Lead singer Jordan Pundik, with his unique high and piping voice, has grown a lot and no longer sounds like a struggling child on this track. Plus the instrumentation is less grainy. The band also sounds great as a whole on "All About Her", which I think is very underrated by fans considering its pulsing, nervous kind of appeal. Another noteworthy track is "Boy Crazy", the brattiness of which I absolutely love. As a student constantly surrounded by the preppy boy-crazy girls Pundik is singing about, this is spot-on and hilarious.

It's not perfect, mainly because of a few plain lyrics in "Vegas" and the fact that the whole thing is way too short (both the songs individually and as an album), and this isn't the greatest CD that these guys have made. Nonetheless, it's close, and it's above all a great journey through the fun and frantic spirit of a great band that you won't want to skip out on.


Nfg's Best


and to the guy a few guys below me, who claims My chem romance, and the used is good music, go get a life

my chem sucks so bad live. This is probably their best album. . . their horrible, he is gay. . . and can't sing. . . not a good combo. he wears makeup. . . thats emo to me, so yea shut up

the used "used" to be good, now their "used" up, like their new stuff like "i caught fire" sucks balls

anyway, back to nfg. . . this cd is great, and has some of my favorite nfg songs, like "Dressed to Kill" and "Hit or Miss"

go buy it if you like new age punk, the closest present day band to punk, besides blink, who are no longer around (besides the fact that the two bands were friends).
