Reiterating my love for Radiosurgery and disagree with it being bad. Extremely underrated imo and honestly probably their catchiest album in the last 10 years
I like Makes Me Sick a lot, but for some reason the guitar tones hurt my ears. A little too trebly and bright for my taste. Sound of a two Voices and Happy Being Miserable still slap. HBM is probably their best music video. Love me some Stand By Me.
I love this version of It Never Slows in Florida, could take a whole album of older songs redone that way imo
Same. I actually like how this album isn't that typical pop punk NFG sound. It's still NFG, but also is mellow and non aggressive. I can actually throw this on a holiday playlist for Xmas Eve and not have my older family members turning heads lol
I love Christmas music and I love New Found Glory so I was really looking forward to this. Other than a few songs (the reworked version of INSIF is so good) I find most of this pretty unenjoyable which is really disappointing. Oh well.
Initial thoughts are… I dig it for the most part. The new version of Nothing For Christmas is great, not sure Snow is an improvement for me but not bad. December’s Here and Don’t Fight It’s Christmas are the standouts for me from the new songs but a lot of these songs will be on rotation in my Christmas playlist from now on. Like the new version of Florida as well - as others have said I’d be interested in hearing a few more reworks like this. The only thing I can’t abide so far is the line “I’ve never seen one this skinny before” on For Christmas Sake. It has derailed the whole song for me haha
This Xmas album is pretty awesome, but partly annoying bc it shows these guys can do something different, yet they resort back to their hardcore pop punk sound for their main albums. this Xmas album, the infinity beyond EP, and FTSTYS3 are fantastic. Time to hunker down and put out a new era of NFG!
this thread and seeing NFG post Instagram photos of the vinyl inspired me to email Hopeless about my preorder, the reply today (which sounds like it was delayed without any announcement of such a delay): They should be here later this week and we will ship immediately!
That’s pretty disappointing. They’ve been sitting on this stuff for over a year and couldn’t get it pressed until very recently?
