I dig the pop-punk sound, the hardcore rhythms and the bouncy, fun energy. Throw whatever criticism you want at NFG -- they're not tru punx, their lyrics objectify women, vocalist Jordan Pundik can't sing, they suck, whatever -- in the end I'm still going to bump tunes like "Goodbye Song" and "Second to Last" while you break down emo gender politics and punk rock social castes.
But it's because of this feeling that I realize I sort of, kind of, maybe didn't need to buy the deluxe edition of New Found Glory. The CD portion opens with the album's original 12 songs, with the original mix Neal Avron provided in , not that a remastering was needed. Avron's production is certainly an upgrade compared to the band's debut, Nothing Gold Can Stay , but it's still raw enough compared to all of the spit-shined pop punk acts that followed in NFG's wake.
This record is still relevant today. Given that it came out 10 years ago, I wouldn't be surprised if some NFG fans don't even own it, since the group didn't really blow up until 's Sticks and Stones.
Hell, I've met fans in the last year that have never heard of From the Screen to Your Stereo , let alone listened to it.
Those people are the core demographic for this new version. It's the weakest track of the bunch. The demos for "Better Off Dead" and "All About Her," as well as the late, great Jerry Finn's alternate mix for "Hit or Miss," don't offer any insight or drastic differences to the respective songs, and are thus unnecessary.
The accompanying DVD is just a portion of the band's tour doc The Story So Far , and the cynic in me feels like it was attached just because it wasn't selling well enough on its own. That's neither here nor there as far as determining whether the album's good, but since various bands have mined the vibe since the late '70s, you have to really do something interesting with the ingredients to make it special.
New Found Glory doesn't do so in an original fashion, though the result is good-natured, and there were less likable young punk bands that could have been honored with a major-label deal in AllMusic relies heavily on JavaScript.
