OK... so i got this yesterday :)
New Found Glory - Coming Home
it's NFG at their finest, but even better! think about how blink182 and green day progressed and then you'll know what i'm talking about.
-Stefanie Reines
You know what, Stefanie? I don't think so! Blink 182 progressed??? you could have fooled me!
ANYWAYS...
This is a decent album but a far cry from what NFG used to sound like. There are still traces of the NFG-ish sounds, but the overall tones of those songs are watered down and mellowed and made radio friendly. What happened to all the melodic pop punk sounds of Nothing Gold Can Stay and the self titled album??? GONE! Well... there are some with traces of it, but still, very diluted versions of the usual NFG.
Most of the track sounds like watered down versions of the usual NFG pop-punk sounds towards their later Sticks and Stones album (not so much of the older stuff). Others are like spin offs of "I Don't Wanna Know" from the Catalyst album...
So what can I say???
THEY GOT MARRIED.... with CHILDREN..
nuff said. they grew up, and along with it have traded in the camaraderie in Ballad For The Lost Romantics for the comfort of matching bedsheets and the arms of a wife and kid...
I was hoping that Coming Home would be a going back to their roots of Nothing Gold Can Stay and New Found Glory, but it seems like they were going home to their wife and kids in their big house with white picket fences and a dog in the yard... Yeap... THAT is the evolution of NFG sounds in this album.
Here are the downloads: (tracks are not in order haha)
