I had totally forgotten that they had signed on to Epitaph.

LongLiveKeithMorris (March 6, 2009)

I had totally forgotten about this shitty band.

crayZsaaron (March 6, 2009)

Remember when Epitaph used to sign good bands?

Good times, good times.

shrapnel (March 6, 2009)

horrible album

LinoleumMagazine (March 6, 2009)

horrible band.

BarleyPat (March 6, 2009)

Agreed on both counts. Don't get me wrong, I don't HATE them like I do Good fucking Charlotte (or even Fall Out Girl), but they still fucking suck and have the most generic nasal vocals ever.

red_eye_inc (March 6, 2009)

It's okay, a big step back, though. Say what you will about Coming Home, some of those tunes had huge hooks and this one...not so much.

baldsteve (March 6, 2009)

fuck it, I liked that record

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

You would!

baldsteve (March 6, 2009)

I hate you so much.

ffwoodycooks (March 6, 2009)

quick, tell him to get off your lawn before he tramples your withered daisies.

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

I only wish to follow in your foot prints....

LinoleumMagazine (March 6, 2009)

OMG! You're like so gay!

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

Tile > Linoleum.

LinoleumMagazine (March 6, 2009)

I prefer nice hardwood flooring. Huh-huh hard-wood.

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

I see what you did there.

the_problem_with_fire (March 8, 2009)

so you have good things to say about a new found glory record but propagandhi sucks?...

Morgan (March 6, 2009)

best album since sticks and stones.

joemomma420666 (March 6, 2009)

my sentiment exactly

avodrocyelir (March 7, 2009)

in this boat. really liking it. and all of my friends have always made fun of me for liking nfg, so i dont really care.

friokir (March 7, 2009)

my opinion may change, but right now I think it's better than s&s.

miniblindbandit (March 6, 2009)

when i have to scroll more than once to get to the music player, it's usually not a good sign.

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (March 6, 2009)

Haha too true!

KillThePatriarch (March 6, 2009)

This.

24HourPriapism (March 6, 2009)

after a certain age, wearing dickies shants is just plain unacceptable. that age was less than half of how old all these guys are now.

DrewXFishy (March 6, 2009)

you dont have to wear dickies shants to be cool

if you like hardcore

then we think you rule

deadXlast (March 6, 2009)

I'm wearing them right now and I'm 21, so fuck you.

Hey_ska (March 7, 2009)

here here.

Dudley_Shale (March 6, 2009)

I'm relatively excited.

-baldy_shale.

jacknife737 (March 6, 2009)

I was pleasantly surprised by this; got kind of a Sticks and Stones vibe. Not sure if it's just the nostalgia factor, but this is their best stuff in a while.

fallingupwards84 (March 6, 2009)

ok i understand that they have a weird cult-thing going on with "hardcore" kids over the last two years (fuck knows why), but to label themselves "hardcore" on their myspace page is a tad ridiculous, dont you think?

this song sucks; the chorus is cheesy and his voice sounds as nasally as ever

Dudley_Shale (March 6, 2009)

It hasn't really just been the past two years. I'm not trying to come off sounding like a dick, but with Chad having been in Shai Hulud, plus them being friends with/touring with hardcore bands for virtually their whole career, it makes sense.

ffwoodycock (March 6, 2009)

you are such a dick

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

You're name makes me always think you're a pervert.

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

Your*, even.

ffwoodycock (March 6, 2009)

yeah, i should change it because it is a typo.

ffwoodycooks (March 6, 2009)

aaaaaaaaaaaand done.

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

It's from Mr. Show, right?

ffwoodycooks (March 6, 2009)

yessum

fallingupwards84 (March 6, 2009)

if you think NFG has any credibility (much less, hardcore credibility) then you must have been in grade school when they were popular, or else you'd understand that its ridiculous that this band has "cred" now

they were all over TRL, toured with Good Charlotte and Simple Plan, were all over teen girl magazines, basically sold their souls to MTV on a scale never seen before out of a "punk"-derived band.

NFG, GC, and Simple Plan ruined pop-punk; straight up destroyed it - finishing the work that Blink 182 started a couple years earlier. They slowed down the tempo, added corny sing-a-longs, nasally voices, dumbed-down lyrics that related to 14-year-old kids, and made it embarrassing for nearly anyone with just an ounce of integrity to admit that they like pop-punk

sorry for the rant, i'll stop now ;)

MilesQToast (March 6, 2009)

eh, I dunno. It's all pop-punk but I think there's a difference between Pop-Punk and pop-punk.

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

I have a lot of integrity, and I don't think it's at all embarrassing to admit I like a lot of their tracks. They put on a fun live show, and all I was saying is that they do have their own credibility that I feel they've earned because they put their time in, as well. They worked hard to get what they got, and a lot of them were in hardcore bands prior.

If you feel GC, and Simple Plan destroyed pop punk, well thats your own opinion, and thats cool. But I really don't feel those few bands destroyed something that bands like the Descendents, Ramones, Screeching Weasel or a whole list of others built, is at all possible. I just feel that type of mentality is small minded and simple, honestly.

Theres a lot worse that could happen. I don't even fault Fall Out Boy entirely, just because it literally could be worse. Not too long ago Limp Bizkit was the biggest band in the world, and 20 years ago Nirvana polluted the airwaves and pop culture as a whole.

I'll take second rate pop punk to this neo-hair metal, to rap metal, to grunge any day of the week.

As far as the nasally voice thing goes...that pretty much comes with the territory of pop-punk music. Thats just the way it is. All this "orgcore" music is, is basically pop punk thats old enough to drink whiskey. Thats the only difference.

ding_dong (March 6, 2009)

Nirvana vs. NFG

my vote: Nirvana 1, NFG 0

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (March 6, 2009)

I disagree, I really can't stand nirvana.

I_Rock_Hard (March 6, 2009)

well fuck you AND nirvana

billnye (March 6, 2009)

man nirvana is pretty sick though

jacknife737 (March 6, 2009)

Because MXPX is so much better; amirite?

fallingupwards84 (March 7, 2009)

don't listen to them much anymore, bc their newer material is pretty average. mid-90s stuff is sick tho

mathclub (March 6, 2009)

I think it's worth mentioning that when they were small they did a lot of credible tours, playing first of four with bands like Snapcase or Ensign. The few times I saw them play when I was younger it was always with bands like that. I'm certainly not an ardent supporter of the band but have always thought that if anyone wants to give them a little cred for that part of their history, it's fair enough.

acris (March 6, 2009)

no it doesn't. their music doesn't have any slight resemblance to hardcore.

TROOF (March 6, 2009)

none of those things make them a hardcore band.

punk_sk (March 6, 2009)

would you prefer polka?

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

Depends, is it Weird Al doing a medley?

punk_sk (March 6, 2009)

Not if he's being ironic

pinkerton (March 6, 2009)

my band plays real pop punk

www.myspace.com/johnnyuandtheuniverse

LooseKanonYankee (March 7, 2009)

great band name!

I just wrote a song a couple months back called "Space, Geeks, and Johnny Unitas"

pinkerton (March 7, 2009)

please tell me thats from pete and pete!

thats where we got the name.

LooseKanonYankee (March 10, 2009)

of course!

LongLiveKeithMorris (March 6, 2009)

I hate this fucking piece of shit whiny pussy rock band. The only people that listen to this crap that I forgive are chicks, and not all chicks but just the real effeminate ones.

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

Yeah! Those butch chicks should be bumping new shit by NWA.

LongLiveKeithMorris (March 6, 2009)

Werd!

punk_sk (March 6, 2009)

real gangster shit

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

I fucking love Ice Cube.

Holy_Balls (March 6, 2009)

first we gone get a mullet, then we gone get a glock!

baldy_shale (March 6, 2009)

Don't forget the drop top and flannel cut offs.

punk_sk (March 6, 2009)

dark shades too

MN_punkmaster-skaman (March 6, 2009)

You know what album I realized is one of the best ever on Monday?

Green Day - Kerplunk

I_Rock_Hard (March 6, 2009)

you know what i realized about your post? you tried the age old "let me say something totally random about an issue that many people have opinions over, so i can get a shit ton of replies on an entierely irrelevant thread" trick. better luck next time! my advice would be to say something about gaslight anthem. but hey, we all fail once and a while. today was your day.

hellxblazer (March 6, 2009)

You're a DICK.

jeffernator (March 6, 2009)

didn't like coming home very much, and catalyst was ok. their first 3 were good. this album is good too.

acris (March 6, 2009)

KillThePatriarch (March 6, 2009)

Gross.

And what's wrong with using the simple Myspace layout?

Holy_Balls (March 6, 2009)

if you don't make people wait to view your page because of the 5 minute loading time, what will they have to look forward to? it's like purgatory with paragraphs. hello, boring! these 14 year olds want flash and glitter! and they want it now! NOW!

Holy_Balls (March 6, 2009)

not without a bite...of a sandwich.

cheesetits (March 6, 2009)

Glad I just graduated high school before these guys became popular, bad enough when Blink 182 became huge.

Also, I can't believe I just sat through about a half hour of the movie Airborne. What is this, nostalgia hour? Seth Green looked ridiculous in that movie.

trevor905 (March 6, 2009)

its got pretty boring after the first track

DrBino (March 6, 2009)

This song fucking sucks

AlexPardee (March 6, 2009)

Sounds bad.. maybe I have to get used to it, but I usually loved NFG songs from the first time I heard them so this is strange..

facetofacereunion08 (March 6, 2009)

This is so bad. This type of power pop gives me a headache. At least they dont wear neon clothes and have girl hair. I still think "nothing gold can stay" is solid. they havent written songs like that since. some of the songs on there were fast and intense and pretty solid.

workingclasshero (March 6, 2009)

Not without a purpose.....?

BarleyPat (March 6, 2009)

.........not without a fight?

deadXlast (March 6, 2009)

I like this better than Coming Home. His voice is a lot less whiny, which is good. They music sounds okay to me, just kinda lacks the punch of some of the older stuff. I'm sure the writing is decent though, so I'll keep giving it a listen.

I_Rock_Hard (March 6, 2009)

not without a HUGE BLACK COCK IN YOUR ASS.

ha. take that NFG

RamblinBoyOfPleasure (March 6, 2009)

You would know all about big black cocks ya fag. Thank you and good night literally. Don't bother with your reply about how I suck and my music taste "blows" as I can't be fucked to read it. HA!

Wentz_Equals_Death (March 6, 2009)

but what if my friends are over you?

baldy_shale (March 7, 2009)

I'd still choose my friends over you.

avodrocyelir (March 7, 2009)

i swear that you are true

consider_the_ravens (March 7, 2009)

whats up with this band thinking they are "hardcore." i actually enjoyed most coming home for than their other albums but this cd sucks. why dont you try to break new ground as a band instead of going backwards.

joemomma420666 (March 7, 2009)

it seems like every hxc/metal kid i know is all of the sudden in fucking LOVE with new found glory...but i remember those same kids making fun of me all the time in 1999-2000 for digging 'em. Hey, being a pop punk kid (even the NFG variety) is still cooler than the slipknot/ICP/ limp bizkit garbage all those HXC kids were into around the same time...so fuck it.

tenwestchaser (March 7, 2009)

Hey...stop hating on me. I've learned better. I've never hated on NFG though. But wow, talk about bringing up old times. I feel dirty...

tenwestchaser (March 7, 2009)

So, I get to see Shai Hulud and Set Your Goals in Indianapolis. By far the best show we've had in a really long time. Sad, isn't it? Shai Hulud though, and I have a soft spot for SYG. I'm pumped.

half_empty (March 7, 2009)

Fantastic first 5 songs or so, fades a bit after that though.

binaural111 (March 7, 2009)

wow. pretty amazed by the level of marketing effort

FelixT (March 7, 2009)

Should I get this or the new Propagandhi album coming out the same day, which is actually pretty fucking awesome? Hum... dilemma.

DrewXFishy (March 8, 2009)

both and also new riverboat gamblers

drugmoney (March 7, 2009)

damn this band is terrible, it was years ago and still is.

CBSrocksteady (March 7, 2009)

score is for captain straight edge

Crashtester (March 7, 2009)

Every song is the same boring slow formula, why is almost every band out there today apart from A Wilhelm and a few others so fuckin scared to play fast?

af_punk86 (March 9, 2009)

Shameless self plug.

My band -> www.thedownandouts.com

Guy_Incognito (March 8, 2009)

The big one likes pizza.

jbt (March 8, 2009)

shai hulud

Ellsi (March 9, 2009)

I dig the new album
