New Found Glory Band • Page 105

they were on some next level shit with catalyst.

 

Honestly, at this point I am pretty happy as long as the albums have one or two fun songs to chuck into a setlist.

I pretty much exclusively see them at festivals and they’re always going to play the main 7/8 songs, and then a couple of other newer ones from recent albums.

Even their weaker records have 2/3 songs each that really slap.

 

Unless it’s Resurrection

 

There are a couple songs from Resurrection I really love, but it’s mostly pretty forgettable

That being said, it’s a whole hell of a lot better than their latest lol

 

Vicious Love
Ready & Willing
Stubborn

 

I much prefer Forever and Ever over Resurrection. Resurrection is the band trying to find themselves after they kicked Steve out and it can be forgiven for not being particularly good because of that but I’d be real hard pressed to return to it.

 

I like those three + Selfless and Degenerate a lot

 

Ressurection and Forever +Ever both have BIG issues that even big fans can have a problem looking past.

Ressurection is definitely missing the 2nd guitar. They're not a good enough band to only have 1 guitar on an album.

F+E is just so damn clumsy in the way the words are sung. Probably fitting too many words in most of the lines.

 

Ready and Willing is one of their best songs tf you talking about

 

Resurrection has more against it than having one guitar, those lyrics are ROUGH.

 

Resurrection had some pretty catchy hooks and fun moments. I agree it needed a second guitar, but there was some good potential in the songs themselves.

 

I mean it's not like the band were strong lyrically when they were a 5 piece. It seems like that member knew what sounded good on the ears though

 

This is true though

 

reading the quoted portion above put this in my head:

But when you need a boy around you just for the summmmeeerrrrrr
Don't come knocking on my door

 

Resurrection is a second guitar away from being a REALLY good record.

But it didn’t have it. So it’s not.

 

It’s about 12 songs away from being a good album imo.

 

Yeah, them purposefully limiting themselves to try and prove a petty point didn't do any favors for that album. But whatev. They have great albums and terrible albums. They're only human.

 

Name now, sir

 

I couldn’t even tell you what a single song on that last record sounded like. Just awful

 

Infinity makes Resurrection's lyrics sound like Shakespeare

 

Heartless at best is such a good song

 

Gunnar did the art

 

My copy of the acoustic album has shipped. Have we gone back to good OL days of pre orders?

 

Ready and Willing is a fantastic NFG song.

Good on this band for carrying on and constantly releasing new music (albums, Eps, covers, Christmas songs, acoustic versions etc).

They may not make albums I enjoy as much as certain previous records, but I’m still happy to have them doing their thing.

 

At least we got Makes Me Sick in amongst those two albums. Easily place in my top three.
