Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
On their self-titled album, Florida quintet New Found Glory make spike-topped punk pop in the mould of Green Day--who figure in the lengthy A-Z band check list on the sleeve. The follow up to their 1999 debut Nothing Gold Can Stay, this shows little interest in deviating from the breakneck three-chord template or their usual preoccupation (or more correctly, infatuation) with girls. The traditional lyrical concerns expressed in lines such as "You gotta watch out for the beautiful ones / They'll twist your head right off your neck / And laugh about it with their friends" ("Boy Crazy") might well be destined to soundtrack lightweight teen movies but they tend to congeal into one big too-sweet sugar rush. --Mike Pattenden

A very good album which is near enough glued inside my CD player because I always listen to it!! 'Hit Or Miss' may tempt you into buying the album, but tracks like 'Better Off Dead', 'Dressed To Kill', 'Eyesore' and 'All About Her' will have you begging for more! A totally well rounded punk band worthy of the fame and 'glory' which Green Day and Blink 182 receive!!!

I'm not an out and out punk fan so something like this has to be pretty special before I'll part with the cash. Thing is, this is worth every penny!! You'll be singing your head off as you're driving along with this in the car stereo. It had me hooked from track 1 and it just gets better.
Think Blink 182 but better. Better melodies, better vocals, better lyrics. NFG don't disappoint! I even lent my copy to a diehard dance music fan and he loved it. If you're looking for a good intoduction to that whole SoCal/teen angst/pop punk thing. This is it!

Kicking off with the brilliant "better off dead" this album is fantastic, vocals are spot on and riffs are brilliant, this album is one of the best i have heard in a very long time and there is no end to it's greatness with songs like "dressed to kill" and obviously "hit or miss" this is one fantastic album i would recomend it to all music fans because its soooo good.
