Okay - so either you're gonna love new found glory's kinda style, or you're not. If you don't, then generic emo band # 4 is that way -->
This album is beyond amazing. Why? Because it's a round up of new found glory's singles with a new track and some album tracks thrown in for good measure.
YEAH the vocals may be whiny, YEAH they sing about girls alot. YEAH it's up tempo stuff. BUT, nfg are gonna be a well respected band at some point, and not thought of as "mtv fluff" stuff. This album is a superb collection - if a bit short! Def put it on shuffle!
1. Situations
The opener is new song "situations" - with a harder edge, but the same lyrical content, it does actually show how NFG are maturing as musicians.
2. Hit Or Miss (Waited Too Long)
-The- nfg anthem. you'll have heard this. And you'll hear it again. And again. It will get stuck in your head. Taken from mainstream album number 1 - titled "new found glory", it's got wit, humor and totally packages up what nfg are all about.
3. Dressed To Kill
My personal fave from the self titled, and defo one of their best. crunchy guitars, and angst. it's the summer of 2002!!!!!!
4. My Friends Over You
MTV. Their "breakthrough" single - and man it's awesome. Defiantly one you'll love if you're new to nfg, and one you'll remember if you're not.
5. Head On Collision
Follow up to MFOY, bit more mid tempo, but ups the lyrical stuff. A definite solid song you'll find yourself coming back to.
6. Understatement
Album track from "sticks and stones" - and what a hard choice picking tracks from that album must've been, this song is just like the rest - which is a good thing!
7. All Downhill From Here
New found glory's first single from Geffen album three - "Catalyst" [an epic album in it's own right] - you may have heard this, a lot more heavier than previous singles and tracks, it's powerful stuff.
8. I Don't Wanna Know
a ballad!!!! well, kinda. A soundtrack song to everyday life.
9. Failure's Not Flattering (What's Your Problem)
ha ha! single 2 or 3 [depends where you live] - utter class pop-punk. probably one of their finest.
10. It's Not Your Fault
The lead [...] single from fourth - grown up - album "COming Home". Coming home saw the guys put on golf jumpers [!] and turn the volume down and try and up the ante lyrically. this song works...
11. Hold My Hand
Strange choice from "coming home"... but not a bad one. Picks up the tempo, showcases Jordan's new.. voice.
12. Constant Static
Last track - bonus track from "catalyst" and it's a strange choice to end on, but a strong song. Harder edge, hard lyrics... i think truth of my youth would've been better...
there we have it. This is just my opinion, and i'm not gonna lie, i'm a HUGE nfg fan.
If you've heard one or two tracks and though "hmm..." but never heard more - get this!
If you have sticks and stones - get this.
If you have everything else - hi :)

This album should come with and age specific warning, because let's face it old gits like me are not going to get this sort of thing. Without the apparent anger of the original British punk bands - at least the good ones, or the sleaze of the New York Bands, so called punk bands nowadays are always going to suffer in comparison, and sure maybe we are looking back with rose tinted glasses but those were our teenage years, and these ones are yours.
Now to be fair, this is not a bad collection of songs, but unless like Green Day have managed, they raise their lyrical view above their (apparently) personal angst driven lives there can't be much future in trotting out the same old stuff. If you have played any of the Tony Hawkes video games, or watched any of those American teen soaps or comedies, you will immediately identify with this music and know what to expect.
Doesn't really deserve 4 stars, but better than 3, so 3.5 would be a better reflection

I bought their latest record "Radiosurgery" on a punt and it is a superb album of killer pop punk (with a mind-blasting bonus track cover of the Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop")easily 5 stars. I wanted to discover their earlier work and I bought this one from Amazon. All 12 tracks are enjoyable and if you like pop punk you can safely buy it but it's not as high a standard as "Radiosurgery".
