Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Overall, a solid 'anniversary' release. I really can't say more than that. If you are an NFG fan, you'll want the demos on here and the liner notes. It's cool and very intriguing to hear where/what some of your more favorite songs by the band started out as and to read the bands take on this album all these years later. Overall, you can't go wrong buying this and reliving 2000 all over again.

For pop-punk, New Found Glory's self-titled album from 2000 helped define the genre, inspire the formation of bands everywhere, and pave the way for the success of groups such as Fall Out Boy.Now, a decade later, the CD+DVD "New Found Glory (10th Anniversary Edition)" brings together that original album, seven previously unreleased or rare bonus tracks, and the 2002 DVD documentary "The Story So Far," which featured all of the band's music videos to that date plus concert footage, interviews, and more.The package also includes revealing new liner notes from each band member and the album's producer Neal Avron (Fall Out Boy, Everclear, Good Charlotte, Yellowcard).One of the first bands to fuse the sensibility of emo, vocal production of pop and heavy riffs of hardcore, and bring it to the mainstream, New Found Glory formed in Coral Springs, Florida in 1997.After an indie EP and debut album, singer Jordan Pundik, lead guitarist Chad Gilbert, guitarist Steve Klein, bassist Ian Grushka, and drummer Cyrus Bolooki made their major label debut with the self-titled album in 2000.With its Top 20 Modern Rock hit "Hit Or Miss," the album was boosted by a tour with blink-182, sold-out headlining tours, and a spot on the Warped Tour, and eventually was certified gold. "New Found Glory (10th Anniversary Edition)" adds three previously unreleased demos (the album's "Better Off Dead" and "All About Her" and the never-issued "The Radio Song"), as well as the unreleased Jerry Finn mix of "Hit Or Miss," which marked the band's first time in a major studio with a name producer.The other extras are "So Many Ways" (a bonus on the album's Japanese version), "The Minute I Met You" (from the 2002 Clockstoppers soundtrack), and "Ex-Miss" (recorded for a KROQ/Los Angeles Christmas CD and heard on the Japanese version of 2002's follow-up album, "Sticks And Stones," which charted #4 Pop and also went gold).The DVD portion of "New Found Glory (10th Anniversary Edition)" offers the aptly-titled documentary "The Story So Far," with its band history, live performances, and videos for the album's "Dressed To Kill" and "Hit Or Miss" (two versions), and for the Sticks And Stones hits "Head On Collision" and "My Friends Over You."
