"Alright, I've been a longtime NFG fan and know there signature sound is not like this at all with the exception of a few songs on past discs(Track 1 on their self titled) and I've been a follower and fan of Chad's past guest appearances and his Shai Hulud LP. Anyho, this is a great disc for those whom have been a fan of old school hardcore and fans of NFG. They bring in a newer, fresher sound on the EP and a totally revamped sound on their new side project, ISOH. If you wanna hear all that winning and bitching with the 3 chord sound then don't come looking here expect harder and heavier sound only found by those of past that seemed hidden in their original style. ISOH has Jordan finally putting his guitar skills into light only found in acoustic versions but now he's getting down and getting it old school. For the lyrics sounding kinda goofy and nerdish on some songs but really telling all those scene kids how it really is, they definetly checked themselves so they didn't wreck themselves. Hope this project stays and just gets bigger and never losing sight of who they really are, the little band from Coral Springs whom new hardcore in its greatness."

Internations superheros of hardcore?

"The first disc off the album is great, one of my favorite NFG records yet. But the second disc, I hate to say it, but it stinks. Its basically the guys from NFG making fun of hardcore kids, while they do have it coming to them, I would like to see New Found Glory stick to their guns, and be the pop punk band everyone has loved over the past decade."

NFG doing it right

"This is not for the fan who likes their original pop sound, but for the fan who understands where they came from and where their sound started with. Come on guys, they were on Eulogy.



Anyone who is a fan or understands anything about where the sound they love comes from needs to know this album makes complete sense and is perfect in every way possible. NFG's early beginnings started off with touring with Hardcore bands, and with Chad's past history with Shai Hulud and actively working in the hxc scene (producing the newest H20 Album) this just comes natural. They cover Lifetime, and lets face it, without lifetime there would be no Saves the day or NFG. Gorilla biscuits, lifetime, and shelter are just a few bands who helped pioneer the music you love today."
