New Found Glory does it again...

"Despite it being nothing but covers and only eighteen and a half minutes long, it's still great little NFG fix. Their cover of The Never Ending Story song and Goonies R Good Enough was simply awesome. This was my first pre-self titled NFG cd and I wasn't sure if I'd like the unpolished sound of New Found Glory 'back in the day' if you want to put it that way. Trust me, if you're a huge NFG fan and are craving more after their most recent three efforts, the unpolished stuff will most likely settle right in after about 15 minutes as it did with me. I got the This Disaster DVD the same day and I went home, put in FTSTYS, thought it sounded a bit ugly because I wasn't used to the underproduction, went to wacth This Disaster instead (which had the same unpolished sound for the vocals), went back to FTSTYS afterwards, and loved it right away. But I guess if you're used to (or like) underproduction then this won't be a problem at all for you. Like a previous reviewer said, this isn't original NFG, but it makes these songs much better.



Pretty sweet deal if you happen to have eight bucks around and nothing to do with it."

Go for it, this CD is a good time

"Any true fan of New Found Glory has this CD and will tell you they're hoping and praying for the day the band does another EP of cover songs. NFG takes classic easy-listening songs from movies and puts their own spin on it. The results will make you smile, rock out, tap your foot, nod your head, maybe even laugh. This CD marked the end of the raw sound and minimal production for the band. This EP wouldn't be the same if it didn't sound like it was recorded in someone's basement. Jordan's voice still sounds like he's singing in the shower, which is not to say that he sings off-key. Buy this CD, blast it in your car with the windows down, and laugh at all the people staring at you, jealous that you're having such a good time."
