| | New Found Glory CD New Found Glory Discography of CDs
This high-energy quartet performs Blink 182-style pop-punk that owes more of a sonic debt to Green Day than to first-generation types like the Buzzcocks, which means the accent here is on pop. As single-minded in their pursuit of this aesthetic as any great rock band should be, New Found Glory keep it exclusively fast and loud, never pausing for anything as transgressive as a ballad (the title of "Ballad For the Lost Romantics" notwithstanding); they don't even bother adding additional instruments to the arrangements.
The guitar-bass-drums axis reigns unchallenged throughout the album. The only adornment is consistently spot-on vocal harmonies that add just the right amount of pop tinge to New Found Glory's relentlessly hard-charging tunes.
CD contains 1 bonus track.
Additional Tracks
Recorded at Elysian Fields Studios, Boca Raton, Florida.
New Found Glory: Jordan Pundik (vocals); Chad Gilbert, Steve Klein (guitar); Ian Grushka (bass); Cyrus Bolooki (drums).

Purchase New Found Glory CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Tom Petty Live Anthology CDs (2009)
New Found Glory album
 $19.98  
It's a commonly held opinion among fans and band alike that Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers' lone live album, 1986's Pack Up the Plantation, didn't quite capture the group at its peak, so there has been a long-standing need for another live set, which 2009's Live Anthology finally provides. Like its closest cousin, Bruce Springsteen's Live 1975-1985, Live Anthology almost overcompensates for the long wait by offering almost too much music, cherrypicking highlights from 1978 to 2007. In its simplest incarnation, Live Anthology is a super-affordable, four-disc box set running 48 tracks, which is eight cuts longer than Springsteen's box, plenty long enough for most fans, but in its deluxe version, available only through Best Buy, there's an additional CD, plus two previously unreleased DVDs -- a 1978 New Years Eve concert from Santa Monica, a documentary called 400 Days shot during the Wildflowers tour -- a Blu-Ray edition of all 62 tracks on the five-CD version, a vinyl copy of the 1976 Official Live 'Leg LP, plus a book and lithograph, along with other assorted bonuses. Certainly, the deluxe edition lives up to its billing, offering enough extras to justify its price ...
| | John Mayer Battle Studies CD (2009)
New Found Glory CD music
$11.17   
It's no secret that John Mayer is a 21st Century Fox, wining and dining women all through tabloid headlines, so it's about time he delivered an album that traded upon his loverman persona -- and Battle Studies is that record in spades. Retaining more than a modicum of the slick, soul-blues undertones of Continuum, Mayer fashions a modern groove album, a record that maintains a smooth seductive vibe so thoroughly it spills into a one-man band cover of "Crossroads." Mayer remains somewhat of a disciple of Slowhand, but he shows an unusual interest in the big AOR stylings of Journeyman, along with Stevie Ray Vaughan's In Step, creating a coolly clean blend of synths and Strats, one that's as much about texture as it is about song.something perfectly appropriate for a make-out album like this. Sometimes, Mayer dips too heavily toward the texture, but he can't resist a good, tight melody and builds the bulk of Battle Studies upon them: the elegant "Half of My Heart," the softly soulful "Perfectly Lonely." Here, Mayer is effortlessly seductive and somewhat irresistible, and it's easy to see why the ladies love cool John. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Beyonce I Am...Sasha Fierce CD (2008) Bonus Track; Deluxe Edition
New Found Glory CD music
$9.99
I AM. SASHA FIERCE represents another change of pace for Beyoncé. Unlike the relatively streamlined, retro-soul inflected B'DAY, I AM... is a sprawling two-disc set designed to reflect two conflicting sides of Beyoncé's musical personality. The first disc sports reflective, sometimes moody ballads, while the second, attributed to Beyoncé's brash alter ego, Sasha Fierce, is loaded with propulsive dance-floor fillers. Except for this stylistic divide, I AM. pays only nominal attention to its supposed concept, focusing instead on a set of excellent, radio-ready songs--neatly avoiding the possibility of I AM. becoming some sort of Chris Gaines-style conceptual disaster. Though the second disc, which boasts the synth-drenched lead single, "Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)," is more immediately gratifying, the ...

| | Vexers CD (2003)
New Found Glory music CDs
$13.85
On their short, sharp, self-titled debut, the Vexers don't waste any time in setting forth their brash, slightly sleazy agenda. In just under 25 minutes the group races through ten tracks that pay homage to the legacy of punk and post-punk divas such as Poly Styrene, Debbie Harry, Siouxsie Sioux, and Penetration's Pauline Murray. On the Vexers' best moments, such as "Something Dirty" -- in which cleanliness is next to sinfulness -- this breathless approach pays off in spades, with Jennifer Taylor's icy yet impassioned voice leading the charge of prickly guitars and supple basslines that flesh out the rest of the song. Likewise, the tough, teasing "Mutual Masturbation" has an added bite thanks to the album's gritty production and the band's heads-down performance. But just as often, the band feels too rushed and too indebted to its influences to really expand and deliver a sound of its own. Songs like "Human Machine," "City Life," "Fuck It Up," and "Rat-Bite Fever," with their darkly angular melodies and snarled vocals, capture some of the catchy but anti-social atmosphere of the best punk and post-punk without really offering a distinctive twist on it. However, near the end of the album, the Vexers do branch out a bit, with ...
| | Soft Cell Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret CDs (1981) Deluxe Edition
New Found Glory songs
$24.79
As with so many groups of their time and place--synthesizer-obsessed England in the early '80s--Soft Cell's first album is also their best. NON-STOP EROTIC CABARET is a self-consciously seedy but nonetheless delightful excursion into knowing decadence. The artifice is plain--Marc Almond's coyly melodramatic vocals and Dave Ball's witty synths suggest that you shouldn't take this album seriously for a moment--but the songs are mostly strong enough to make this a satisfying album. The hyperspeed "Frustration" careens directly to the glorious "Tainted Love," an archetype of '80s pop music unmatched by anything else the duo ever did, though "Bedsitter," "Sex Dwarf" and the blatantly sentimental "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye" come close.
In the U.S., Soft Cell, the British duo of singer Marc Almond and instrumentalist David Ball, was a classic one-hit wonder, that hit being the remake of Gloria Jones' "Tainted Love," which dominated dance clubs and eventually peaked in the pop Top Ten with its synth-pop sound and Almond's plaintive vocal in 1981-1982. In the U.K., the group not only had a longer career, but also influenced a raft of similar performers. Non-Stop Erotic Cabaret, originally released in Britain in the fall of 1981, contained both the band's first hit and its follow-up, "Bedsitter," its title referring to what in America would be called a studio apartment. (A third U.K. Top Five hit, "Say Hello Wave Goodbye," emerged from the LP.) At full album length, lyricist ...

| | Barry Russo Back To Life CD (2009)
New Found Glory CD music
$7.96
This six-song EP, released in September, 2009, is Barry Russo's third solo project. The style continues his 80s-influenced melodic pop-rock tendencies, though some of the tracks on this latest endeavor appear to contain a bit more of a rock edge to the vocals and/or production than Russo's previous disks. On earlier releases, Russo established himself as an artist who blends optimistic, inspirational messages with an equally optimistic, upbeat musical style. As an artist, Russo has often walked the fine line between what could be industry-classified as Christian music or mainstream secular pop music. Even his mainstream songs have often been saturated with underlying spiritual messages. On "Back to Life," Russo continues this artistic direction, though he covers new ground by venturing into social observations about the world we live in, particularly on the powerful, energetic opening track, "Love Is a Beautiful Thing," (on which some listeners detect hints of a U2 influence) and the closer, "Home." On this EP, in addition to participating in the writing, Russo also found congruent observations in the songs of Nashville-based producers Shay Watson and Joe Nash, as well as other writers. ...
