New Found Glory
New Found Glory
MCA/Drive Thru Records

They first graced us with some covers of classic movie tunes like "My Heart Will Go On" and "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing" on their album, From the Screen to the Stereo, proving to us that they had performing talent. Now, they have jumped back into the spotlight with a new, self-titled album, getting down to business by subtracting that annoying little "A" from their band name, and proving to the world that they have the ability to write their own music.

New Found Glory is jam-packed with great tunes. Probably the first one to come to mind is the quickly-rising "Hit or Miss." Needless to say, this is usually the first song that I run to when I pop the cd into my player, but I don't necessarily have to--the entire cd is filled with some great music. The outstanding tracks on the album include "Sincerely Me," "Eyesore," "Boy Crazy," and of course, "Hit or Miss."

Packed with power and energy, and often WITHOUT rhyme, New Found Glory manages to manipulate listeners with catchy, sing-alongable songs. And though they are not immediately recognizable by song name, they still create a fun and lasting impression on the very vulnerable youth of America.
