Amazon.com essential recording

A poll-winning fiddler since her teens, Alison Krauss was an established bluegrass star when her label persuaded her to step out from her usual projects with Union Station, her crack band, and sanction this compilation of various band and solo guest performances. The ploy worked, yielding a wonderful, odds-beating crossover hit with Krauss's cover of "Baby, Now That I've Found You," a carousing late-'60s pop chant transformed into a delicate, vulnerable declaration of love. Focusing on Krauss's lovely, yearning soprano, the track elevated the musician above her resolutely democratic role in her quintet, catapulting Krauss to the biggest bluegrass success story in over 30 years. Krauss has stayed true to her bluegrass roots, as well as to Union Station, but this cross-section of contemporary bluegrass songs, joyous gospel, and canny rock covers testifies to the young artist's luminous appeal. --Sam Sutherland

Album Description

In the early days, when success was still a pipe dream, guitarist Chad Gilbert had to drop out of high school to focus on the band. Drummer Cyrus Bolooki, turned down a scholarship and a chance to follow in the footsteps of his father, who performed the first heart transplant in Florida. All the New Found Glory band members had to make sacrifices along the way to make their dream a reality. All this comes to mind on a recent sunny summer afternoon in San Diego when singer Jordan Pundik confidently calls their fifth album "the one that will stand the test of time." And then again a few days later when Gilbert declares, "We've never been happier with any other record."

"Coming Home" was even written differently. Rather than the usual tour bus and dressing room pow-wows, the band moved into a house together in Malibu called Morning View (where Incubus famously recorded their album of that name), where they sat around the living room and wrote the best songs of their lives. With Paul Miner of Death By Stereo and Warren Fitzgerald of the Vandals and Gwen Stefani's band overseeing the demos, it was like music camp, with a mission.

It only takes one listen to figure out the album opener "Oxygen" is about not being able to breathe without that special person. And the first single, "It's Not Your Fault," capturing the essence of young love and heartbreak with lyrics like, "There were rapid statements about life commitments, A Sense Of Heat, That I Couldn't Bare To Touch…"

Even the album's most poignant moment, and the one song not all about the girls, has a simple message. On the guitar-driven epic "When I Die," Gilbert addresses the 2004 death of his father. "There are always songs about death that are really sad, and this is an uplifting song that gives me strength."

When it came time to record, the band met with all the usual suspects, but decided on producer Thom Panunzio, an A&R veteran at Geffen who has recorded some of the biggest names in music history. "Because he's worked with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan, he brought this classic vibe to it, especially with the tones he got," Pundik says. "We learned we don't have to double-up 15 Mesa cabinets and make it all distorted to make it sound big."

Keep on Keeping On.......2007-05-24

NFG only gets better. I didn't think they could top Sticks and Stones but they did it.
I adore everything New Found Glory, however if you're touchy about the pitch of a singer's voice, maybe listen to a sample before impulse buying.
Big music without a lot of indistinguishable noise. Great album.

I saw them live........2007-04-12

And I was hooked.
End of story.
This album is a must have.

Awesome!!!.......2007-02-10

This was avery surprising album for NFG. It mixes pop, punk, and other influences to create very strong, dynamic songs. All songs are good on this album and it is probably my favorite NFG album. A great album. BUY IT!!!!

New Found Glory Continues.......2006-12-16

It would seem that New Found Glory continues to produce catchy pop-punk music but with a "more mature sound". I actual enjoy the "younger" New Found Glory sound with overdriven guitars and catchy choruses. The constant theme that seems to drive New Found Glory is relationships, the make-ups and break-ups. I can't put this record at the top of my list, however. So far, my favorite album is their self-titled. If I were to introduce NFG to a friend, that would be the first record I would turn to. Songs like "Dressed to Kill", "Hit or Miss", and "Sucker" embody what NFG grew from (in my opinion).

On Coming Home, expect some of the same NFG sound. Songs like "Hold my Hand" and "Oxygen" are good openers for the album. They are able to pull the listener in. I rate both high. The album continues strong with their single "It's not your fault", "On my mind", and "Coming Home".

Funny...all of which deal with...relationships. After those five, the album starts to struggle.

"Love and Pain", as well as "Connected" are in the NFG style. "When I Die" would have been a great track finisher but instead they chose "Boulders"--a slow ballad type song.

If you find them, "Over me", "Make it Right", "Golden", and "It's all around you" all should have made the album. They are more happy and upbeat than the chosen middle tracks.

I am not disappointed in the album, but it is not my favorite. I support NFG fully, and I am very big fan. However; I hope the 6th full length record will have more marketability.

An adult who likes adult music........2006-12-14

Most reviews come from kids that just do what ever they can do to sound cool and make believe to them selves that they are hardcore...hardcore does not really exist anymore and that's ok. I like music...from Jim Brickman to Nirvana to Slayer to the Ramones and so on. This is a great CD a grown up CD. Just let the poppy punks grow up and you can grow with them...just ad water.

Album Description

Lost And Found is the third album from American metallersMudvayne. This release steers away from the nu-metal scene that they became part of and sees the band mix metal with more commercial sounding rock. It was produced by Ugly Kid Joe's Dave Fortman.

Customer Reviews:

Yeah, they've evolved, but so what? They still write good music........2007-04-13

To all the haters out there that can't get over the fact that this is not the LD 50 era Mudvayne anymore, grow up. In my opinion, they have not sold out, but are just making the music they feel like making. What rules are there that they have to make the same album over and over or never make adjustments to their sound. LD 50 was on the extreme end of things for them, and each album has taken on a slightly less angry approach. These guys are talented musicians, and as long as they keep making albums, I'll be buying them, because I know how much they love what they do, and they won't let me down. Is this album more mainstream? No. The only song that could be considered somewhat mainstream is "Happy?". And what is wrong with making a living? Having one song that can be a crossover hit allows them to keep doing what they are doing.
I still love LD 50 the best, and had the most fun with that album, but I can't say that I am disappointed with their newer albums. They all offer something different, and that keeps things interesting.

BEST HARD ROCK ALBUM EVER!.......2007-04-09

Mudvayne is the best hard rock band ever! Less of alternative metal/ nu metal and more into hard rock! A kick in the a**! How could someone or anyone say that this album sucks? You might not like this band if ur an extreme metalhead, but you'll be in love with this band if you're a rock fan.

Best tracks:

"Determined" 12/10- Man I love this song! Just the way I like it........
short and sweet.

"Happy?" 10/10- This song is more into hard rock. Good chorus and love the ending.

"IMN" 12/10- Now this song is the darkest and angriest song ever! The beginning was all silent and out came some guitars and Chad's screaming and swearing. LOVE IT!!

"Choices" 10/10- Very thick, heavy guitars at the beginning, love the chorus and Chad's singing here. Love when Chad sings "we don't have a choice, anymore, anyways".

"Forgot To Remember" 10/10- Good beginning with Chad's soft singing, love the screaming part, the chorus and the ending.

"Just" 12/10- Now who doesn't like this song?!! Awesome, great beginning. Started with thick guitars along with good drumming and then out came Chad's vocals. Just love how Chad sang here, so angry too!

Chad is the world's best singer ever! With clean vocals that go along with hard rock and screaming that go with alternative metal, just love it!
I would prefer not buying this album, just listen to it in youtube and wait for their new album coming out around the end of 2007! Nice job, boys!

Not so great.......2007-04-07

Not really a great cd, Only has about 2 good songs on here

Garbage.......2007-02-26

Don't bother with this band. They are sellouts, they write bad music that sounds like just about everything else, being from Peoria, IL, I can say that they went out there with a look and sound to get themselves noticed, then once they hit it they took a turn for the worst just to become rich and famous like everyone else. There is nothing special about their music. And maybe you have heard of Hell Yeah! the new project featuring members of Mudvayne, well, you owe it to yourselves not to check it out, unless you like Mudvayne. It's the same old garbage.

Awful.......2007-01-15

I greatly, greatly anticipated this album, and well, the anticipation is always sweeter than the reward, it seems.
Plainly, this album blows. LD 50 was a startlingly complex and original release for a genre that was destined to die off, and their sophomore release was only a few steps behind. While TEOATTC was technically sound, I never cared for it much, and was jittery when they announced this new album would be a return to their experimental, neo-progressive sound.
If anything, this album is just Mudvayne fattening their wallets and equally fattening their chords. The ruthless complexity is completely gone, the lyrics are blatant and angsty, and the bass has been completely buried (although the bass lines on here aren't standout anyway...).
Mudvayne may have removed their stage antics and image from the equation, but everything that would appeal to a devoted fan of their early sound has been trashed as well.

Cy Coleman and David Zippel's City of Angels is a seductive depiction of 1940s Los Angeles, capturing swinging jazz, torchy ballads, witty lyrics, and even a Manhattan Transfer-like Greek chorus (arranged by ManTran guru Yaron Gershovsky). James Naughton and Gregg Edelman star as Stone and Stine, respectively a tough Raymond Chandleresque PI and the writer who dreams up his adventures. Randy Graff plays Stone's long-suffering secretary and Dee Hoty the requisite femme fatale. Loads of atmosphere and tasty songs such as "What You Don't Know About Women," "With Every Breath I Take," "You're Nothing Without Me," and "You Can Always Count on Me" make City of Angels a modern classic. It won 1990 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Leading Actor (Naughton), Featured Actress (Graff), Best Book (Larry Gelbart), and Best Original Score. --David Horiuchi

Customer Reviews:

Fun Show, Average Score.......2007-02-21

Fun show, ingenuos concept, so-so score, with one exception. The ballad With Every Breath I Take is brilliant. One of Coleman's best pieces.

Cleverness personified.......2006-10-16

A duet between an author and the character he created, each claiming "you're nothing without me," is just one example of how sharp, witty and clever show is, with an unusual score, jazzy and bluesy and very 1940s, and some of the best lyrics I know.

Fantastic Jazz Musical That's FUN!!!.......2006-04-14

City of Angels is an incredibly fun, classy, and jazzy musical that delivers. Stellar vocal performances are provided by the entire cast, particularly the female end. The fact that Randy Graff was the only female from this cast nominated at the Tony Awards that year floors me. Kay McClelland and Rachel York deserved nods for their powerful solos, With Every Breath I Take and Lost Found, alone. These two songs are also the type of sultry, jazz solos that one would expect in the 40's, which is why the show works. The music is completely period with when the show takes place, and that's why I love it. The best tracks are:

3) What You Don't Know About Women
6) With Every Breath I Take (destined to be a classic)
9) Lost and Found (wonderful solo)
10) All You Have To Do Is Wait (FUN! FUN! FUN SONG!!! Hilarious as well)
11) You're Nothing Without Me
13) You Can Always Count On Me (Randy Graff's Tony!)

Great Jazz-Oriented Score.......2005-06-25

1990 Tony winner for Best Musical, "City Of Angels" contains a great score, filled with jazz-oriented melodies & torch songs. Not all the songs are terrific, but most of the score lends itself to repeat listenings. Best tracks include:

Double Talk
What You Don't Know About Women
With Every Breath I Take [beautiful song!]
Lost And Found
You're Nothing Without Me [the show's hit]
You Can Always Count On Me

Great cast ... great buy!

I love it!.......2005-02-22

This is one of my favorite soundtracks ever! Since I'm going to be working on music for the show, I'm happy that this is the case. It has been in my CD player for a few weeks now, and there's enough variety for it not to get old. But having read through the script makes the lyrics infinitely wittier. Musicals are supposed to rely partially on the lyrics and partially on the script. This show does that perfectly. Without the script, the lyrics are (apparently) lacking. But without the lyrics, the script is missing something. When you put the two pieces together, however, it's really easy to see why this show won a Tony.

Very pleased.......2007-06-10

I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this CD. True, I could have listened on line before buying but that would have taken the fun out of the purchase. Besides, I really didn't care for the CD the first couple of times I listened but now I really love it. It's not something to listen to all the time but given the right circumstances e.g. a small gathering of friends, it's perfect. If I'd listened to online, I wouldn't have purchased it.

Sumptuous and mellow.......2002-11-28

The six men of the King's Singers present sweet and light-hearted madrigals of such English composers as Morley, Weelkes, Dowland, Wilbye and Byrd. The thirty five selections include "Now is the Month of Maying", "Though Philomela Lost Her Love", "Sing We and Chant It," the celebration of tobacco entitled "Come, Sirrah Jack, Ho!" and a host of other fa-la-la-la-la venues interspersed with wistful laments. I love the rich, sonorous sound of a male vocal ensemble, with countertenors, tenor, baritones and bass, and these six singers do a great job. Occasional instrumental accompaniments by lute and tabor are included, but this group doesn't really need it--I could listen to them for hours all by themselves. Also quite enjoyable, as well as educational, is their earlier release, "The King's Singers' Madrigal History Tour: Italy, England, France, Spain and Germany". For a more risque' take on the vocal music of Renaissance England, you might get a kick out of "The Art of the Bawdy Song" by the Baltimore Consort with the Merry Companions.

One of the Best Collections of English Madrigals.......2002-03-27

Any fan of the King's Singers will regret not having this album in their collection.

This album offers a veritable feast of the choicest English madrigals found on any comparable album. From the obligatory "Now is the Month of Maying" and "Fair Phyllis" to the more obscure "Tan ta ra, cries Mars," there is certainly enough on this album to bring a smile to lovers of Renaissance music - and a spark of recognition to anyone who sang traditional madrigals in high school or university. For serious students of early music, this album comes very highly recommended.

Among the more sonorous offerings on this album, Jones' "Farewell, Dear Love" and Dowland's "Come Again," cannot be ignored. Nor can Bennet's immortal "Weep O mine eyes" be matched more musically than here by the King's Singers.

This album has been played again and again for almost 6 years as both serious listening and background working music. And it has yet to lose its delight.

A Delightful Collection of English Madrigal.......2000-08-16

With 35 tracts to enjoy you're sure to find a couple of favorites. I gave this CD 4 of 5 stars compared to 5 stars for the King's Singers World Madrigal Tour CD. If you prefer all your songs in English, this will be your 5 star CD. Tract 32 "Come again" is my favorite due to the surperb tenor lead and melodic development. Compared to many polyphonic early music styles (1300s-1485), this era (1500-1610) provides many memorable melodies.

A wide variety.......2000-04-28

This is an excellent sampling of English madrigals. This presentation, given by an older roster of the Singers, is a nice introduction to the world of the madrigal, and English madrigals in particular.

I very well rember the year of 2004! Not for only the sadness and pain that i felt, from when i heard that dime was shot to death on stage, but more so for the fact that 04 was one of thoes great years that just had great album releses, from so many fantastic metal group's like for example: Mastodon, grave, Ancent,Immortal Souls(Witch is one far my fav. death metal groups of ALL TIME!!)Megadeth, Black Lable Society,ect... And this never to be forgotened album "NEW FOUND POWER" album by such an fantastic band altogether! Realley such an perfect name for an album in general! I rember in that year when i was 17, I'm 20 years of age now!)buying that album when it first came out, and listened to that album in it's full entiertiy, and enjoying every song on the album, and then thinking to myself.. WOW! WHAT AN FU**ING! KICK-A** CD THIS IS! And then sensing that metal music history, Was beaning born. But like Pantera, the musicanship of this band DAMAGEPLAN!

And not that pussy stuff that you would hear now in this year! But Anyways! HIGHLY RECOMMENED!!!

A Great metal band....Damageplan New Found Power (Elektra).......2007-01-28

I got this album right after its release date and immediately thought it was a great album and still is. On here Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul have turned the page on the past (Pantera/Phil),bring in a new lead singer,Pat Lachman and new bass guitarist, Bob Zilla, and a lighter/less aggressive new direction metal album than their previous efforts. The results are pure metal and has a lot songs that have hooks and are catchy. This new lead singer Pat Lachman reminds totally of Brad Divens the lead singer of a great metal band(s) Wrathchild America and Souls At Zero; in which they changed their name to in 1993. Yes, vocally Pat does different vocals ,because the music is a little different,but actually Damageplan sound pretty similar to Wrathchild America in a 2000's era sound. Bob Zilla does a fine job on bass guitar and is solid at his position. An example of this is the song Crawl etc. Musically every song on this album is awesome and flows very well. Though the only song on here that does not really do it for me is F#@& You. It just sounds like it does not belong and the title I could definitely do without....they should of come up with something more thought out than that. After saying all that it is still not a bad song though. My personal favorite songs are New Found Power,Reborn,Save Me,Cold Blooded,Crawl,Blink of an Eye,and Moment of Truth. As a whole though all songs are great like stated earlier. Dimebag Darrell's solos are less on here than previous work with his former band Pantera and to me he does awesome job for the song structures of Damageplan. The same is true with drummer Vinnie Paul. It is ashame that we mostly likely will never hear anything from Damageplan, because of the events everyone is well aware of (R.I.P. Dimebag Darrell). This is a must for metal fans to add to your collection.

Rebel Meets Rebel is a Better Token of Dime.......2006-12-14

If you are a huge fan of Pantera like me and you want to check out more work from one of the greatest gitar players that ever lived, go with REBEL MEETS REBEL. Its got that Pantera beat and riffs to it but with a slight country twang. David Allan Coe (singer of Rebel Meets Rebel) is probably one of the most underappreciated songwriters ever. As much as I wanted to love DamagePlan, it still kinda sucks. If I didn't know who was in the band and heard it, I would have wondered why they got signed.

Disappointed with it overall.......2006-08-09

As much as I loved Dime's guitar work, Vinnie's kickass drumming and Patrick's work with Halford on his solo releases this cd was a big disappointment.

It has about 5 really good songs on it. Pride, Save Me and Cold Blooded really stand out and the rest are pretty much filler. Lot's of growling and little groove to the song structure. Pantera always had a nasty groove to it's music and this is lacking that big time. The music just seems to be missing something and has no direction at all really?

It's to bad as Dime was a great player and his brother was equally as awesome behind the drum kit. That moron who shot dime took away not just Dime's playing, but his brothers as well as Vinnie has yet to fully recover from such a tragedy.

If you need a Dime fix, check out Rebel Meets Rebel!! It's got that Pantera grind and it's funny as hell. It's a great way to remember a great guy and a great guitar player and was a great parting gift to us his fans!

R.I.P Dime!

Damageplan - New Found Power.......2006-05-26

After Pantera went their separate ways in 2001, Vinnie Paul Abbot and the late Dimebag Darrel Abbot went on to form Damageplan and this CD "New Found Power" was the first CD of the unfortunately short lived venture by the Abbot brothers. From reel to reel, this is a great album (and again, I'm not just saying that because it's the right thing to say about Dime but SERIOUSLY, it's great).

Just like the rest of you, I would consider myself a Pantera purist first for several reasons. Dime was the reason I stopped playing guitar in Grunge bands and graduated to the sophisticated Metal that bands like Pantera made famous. Damageplan doesn't follow the same stylings as Pantera but the direction of this group was still very good. This CD may not be as heavy as Cowboys From Hell, Vulgar Display of Power or even Far Beyond Driven but nonetheless, the music is artistically sound and Dime and Vinnie show their technical prowess as well.

There aren't as many guitar solos on this but the ones that are on here are classic Dime. The bass lines are also very heavy, almost Korn like in a way on some tracks. And vocalist Pat Lachman reminds me of a younger Max Cavalera (of Sepultura and Soulfly) who can still croon like Layne Staley on some of the slower tunes. I think one mistake people make when they get this album is that they spend too much time comparing Lachman to Phil Anselmo. Well, DON'T! You're wasting your time if you're doing it that way. If you ask me, Lachman helps Damageplan be a little more unique.

I highly suggest this album. It doesn't matter if you're the avid metal head or a newcomer or even a true Pantera fan. This is an album for all to enjoy. I'll admit, there aren't many metal albums that I can listen to all the way through without skipping any tracks (my list of albums like that are Slayer "Reign in Blood", Slipknot "Slipknot", Pantera "Vulgar Display of Power", Anthrax "Persistence of Time", Soulfly "Soulfly" and System of a Down "Toxicity"), I can now easily add this album to my list. Also, check out the other albums and artists I've listed.

Sticks and Stones, the third record from Florida emo-punkers New Found Glory, might wear its broken heart on its sleeve, but that doesn't mean it has to pretend to be mature. No, Blink-182's first choice of opening band have a firm grasp of the puerile: Sticks and Stones churns out dumb punk thrills at such a breakneck pace, you'd swear they were going out of fashion. The chugging "It's Been a Summer" does Blink as well as Travis, Mark, and Tom do themselves, while "Head-On Collision" displays the group's tender emo side, frontman Jordan Pundik smarting at a vicious relationship spat. "It feels like I'm bruised and broken / From our head-on collision," he sobs, as guitars crunch and blunder madly in the background. Thing is, although some of the tunes are spot on--particularly, the lovestruck "My Friend's Over You" and the moshpit-friendly "Something I Call Personality"--there's little to radically distinguish New Found Glory from their peers. If you're a diehard pop-punk fan, you've probably got records like this--and better--in your collection already. --Louis Pattison

A tale of two CDs.......2006-08-05

before the emo/punk (if you can call it that) boom of 2004, there were still bands, such as New Found Glory, interested in writing simple catchy songs over crunching guitars in the vein of Green Day and Blink182 (before every band, including NFG, started inserting every hardcore and metal cliche in the book).

This music is not incredibly original, but "Sticks and Stones" is very likable and does a fine job honoring the pop-punk tradition. Unfortunately the second half of the disc cannot keep pace with the first half. After "Forget My Name", one figures that if the band can keep this up for five more songs, "Sticks and Stones" becomes a classic. Starting with the fast, crackling, opener "Understatement", the first single "My Friends Over You" and the pinnacle "Forget My Name", the first half rolls along with a great, exciting pace and energy. But, then comes the caveat. With the exception of "Story So Far", the second half pales in comparison with the first half, as you can see and hear the creative juices of New Found Glory running short in the final five songs.

However, the first seven songs are enough to earn this CD four stars (really more like 3.5) as well as making it worth a buy, seeing as you can probably get it for fairly cheap. Pick it up for 11 bucks and you'll get your money's worth

This is all getting out of hand.......2006-07-28

Punk is not about listening to bands like the MIsfits and T.S.O.L and other old punk bands. Punk is about not following the crowd and doing stuff your own way and not letting other people get in the way of your own intrests. SO technically if the pop punk listeners listened to all those idiots telling people to listen to old school punk then they would actually become something their not

Anyway this happens to be a great cd. Very differant from Nothing gold can stay and All about a girl. JOrdan's voice obviously was polished in some way. The instrumentals are actually very similar to the sound of their two first cd's.

Now i guess I am going to review each cd.

Understatment 5/5 An incredibly catchy song that doens't get old very fast. This song will please most NFG fans.

My Friends over you 4/5 Most people will adore this song until about a week after they hear it when this song gets very annoying.

Sonny. 4.5/5 This song has very creative lyrics and a very interesting story.

SOmething I call Personality. 3/5 A song that most people will enjoy but it just doesn't do it for me

Head on Collision. 4/5 Pretty much the same story as My Friends Over you.

It's been a Summer 5/5 Starts with a very catchy riff and stays like that for the whole song.

Forget my Name. 4.5/5 Very good lyrics.

Never Give up 4.5/5 A song that can cheer anyone up

The Great Houdini 5/5 Really catchy

Singled Out. 5/5 Defienntly my favorite on the cd.

Belated. 2.5/5 Pretty good lyrics but just doesn't have the thing that makes te other songs so great

The Story So Far. 5/5 Great finisher

Overall 52/60 A great effort

Best NFG Album!.......2006-03-07

These are how I rate the songs-

Understatement- Possibly the best opener ever 5/5

My Friends Over You- A really good song but if you listen to it more than two times in a hour time period it gets annoying. 4/5

Sonny- Nice, Calm and Melodic but possibly the worst song on the album. 2.5/5

Something I call Personality- Really fast and cool it almost makes listening to "Sonny" worthwhile. 4/5

Head on Collision- Their greatest slow song ever. 4/5

It's Been a Summer- Really catchy to listen to and it will never get annoying even if you listen to it one-hundred times! 4.5/5

Forget My Name- This song kinda' reminds me of Sum 41, and that is a good thing a really good thing. But it can be really sad if you really listen hard to the lyrics. 4/5

Never Give Up- This song is a little more hopeful than "Forget My Name" and I think everyone can enjoy it. 3.5/5

The Great Houdini- Has nothing to do with Harry Houdini and so I say WTF!!! 3/5

Singled Out- I like the techno beginning alot and the rest also rules. It is the best song on the album next to "Understatement." 5/5

Belated- Sorta' sucks but in its own way it is good. In other words it sounds like a Simple Plan song and that is a put down. 3/5

The Story So Far- Cool song very awesome except for that P.O.C hidden track. Get rid of the hidden track and you have a winner! With hidden tack loser! Keep the Hidden Track, 0.5/5
Without, 5/5

Possibly the greatest punk album ever.

pretty good stuff.......2006-02-28

I am rather new to New Found Glory and, not being a huge fan of this genre of music, was pleasantly surprised.I own both this and Nothing Gold Can Stay and this is the better of the two in my opinion. I also know that one of the members used to be in a band called Shai Hulud, and old metalcore band that I'm a fan of. Check them out, broaden your musical interests. That's what I did with this cd and it turned out fairly well. 4 stars.

A slight decline.......2006-01-23

New Found Glory is one of the oldest of the current pop punk bands. Their self titled album was hands down their crowning achievement, bursting with catchy and well written songs for their mostly teenage audience. This album kind of carries over, possessing much of the same drive, but lacking a little bit of each of the elements that made their last album so great.

Understatement starts the album off with a roar. This is actually my favorite song of theirs ever. It is well written, it is catchy, it is fast and loud, and it is pretty much amazing. My Friends Over You is slightly overrated, but I was at one time obsessed with it. It is certainly pretty damn catchy. Sonny is a slow and catcy song about losing someone. Something I Call Personality is a slightly overdone song. By the sound of it, you expect something assaulting, but it doesn't really pick up in any of the right places, and comes out seeming incomplete in some ways, overdone in others. Head on Collison is a good, but lyrically predictable song. Its Been a Summer was like a little mini crack addiction for me. I listened to that song for a good 2 or 3 weeks pretty much all the time. Trust me, it will find its way into your head.

Forget My Name is a great song, if not purely redeemed by the first 20 seconds. Jordan definitely has a good voice for hooking the listeners in. The next two songs are really where the album lags. They are OK, but mainly boring and uninteresting. The album would be MUCH better off just without them. Singled Out is a great song about a long relationship or friendship gone sour. Belated is another boring song which usually has me reaching for the seek button. The Story So Far is another good song. It is actually a little different than what they usually sound like, and it left me hoping for a musical evolution in the band for the next album (which, by the way, did NOT happen).

All in all, this album succeeds in putting out a pretty good pop punk album. A few amazing songs, a handful of decent ones, and a few stinkers. If you are looking for a good cd to listen to these guys, i would suggest their self titled album. If you listened to that and what the next best, definitely go with this one. Definitely worth a try

Girl groups have enchanted humankind since the era of the ancient Greeks, when legend has it the Sirens attempted to lure wayfarers Odysseus and Jason to their fates; Persephone's chanteuses would eventually even lose a battle of the bands to the Muses. A couple millennia later, female singers would become a dominant force in the pop and rock of the `60s, the era anthologized on this four-disc, 120-track collection from Rhino. If the "group" tag is something of a misnomer (many of the acts here are solo artists), the vibrant female pop spirit of the times gets showcased in rare fashion by a collection that eschews the obvious to revel in showcasing rarities and surprises at every turn: the bittersweet, life-is-over-when "I'm 28" musings of a two-decades-pre-"Mickey" Toni Basil; a healthy sampling of gems by the Cookies and their various alter-egos, including the Palisades' fervent ode to uber-necking, "Make the Night Just a Little Bit Longer"; the Shangri-Las' mini-epic, "Out in the Streets"; hit songwriter Ellie Greenwich's solo turn on the haunting "You Don't Know." An impressive collection with an inclusive bent, its tracks range across the classic r&b of the Marvelettes, Chiffons and Irma Thomas, country-crossovers Skeeter Davis and Wanda Jackson, the blue-eyed soul of Jackie DeShannon and Dusty Springfield and wounded white-girl pop of Lesley Gore and Connie Francis. It's all contained in one of Rhino's most elaborately designed packages yet: each disc comes in a mock compact; its extensive liner notes and track info printed as a mini-diary; all housed in a smart replica of a vintage hat box--a treasure-packed delight for lovers of the genre and curious novices alike. -- Jerry McCulley

Album Description

It's the kiss that will be heard 'round the world: Rhino salutes the fabulous girl group genre with what is-amazingly and historically-the first boxed set ever to do so! This supersized collection luxuriates through almost five hours of the plethora of sounds, styles, and subjects that represent the beautiful, vibrant, and influential music women were making in the early to mid-60's. A footnote to the pop and rock of the day no longer, the raw emotion and spirited savvy of girl group greatness finally gets its due. Compilation producer Sheryl Farber notes, "Fans have always known how rich and varied this music is-how the sound encompasses soul, garage, Bacharach-style pop, countrypolitan, the British take on the American girl group sound, and more." Now the world will know and fall in love with girl group music too!

More important than the bible.......2007-03-09

First, the downside: no Phil Spector. But, plenty of Shadow Morton and "wall-of-soundalikes." Decent mix of ballads and uptempo numbers. If you like the Detroit Cobras, come find all the originals here! Oh, and the booklet (hell, more of a book than a "-let") has got info on every song and every artist, plus pictures galore. The folks at Rhino continue to add to their superlative reputation for box sets and reissues. Buy or die!!!

ONE KISS CAN LEAD TO ANOTHER * GIRL GROUP SOUNDS LOST & FOUND is truly one one the most unique box sets ever issued. It's also definitely not for everybody, not even all fans of late '50s - early '60s AM radio stuff.

DESIGN:
Remarkable-- simply outstanding. A miniature heavy board glossy hatbox, complete with a sturdy pull string that holds the box lid in place-- inside are four CDs surrounded by gray foam. They're stored on plastic holders that are covered by hard-paper books. Each of these packages has silver paper inside the front cover, and the overall look is of four differently styled powder compacts. Also included is a luxurious 204-page book that sets the standard for all-time. The jewel case sized book, made from heavy stock semi-gloss paper is replete with studio and other photos, advertisement and 45 label repros, and some of the most detailed text ever.

CONTENT:
This is where not all will be interested in this set. It's ideal for the obscurity collector, but not necessarily the TOP 40 fan-- there's only a sprinkling of commonly known tunes here. A lot of these tracks are unknown for a good reason-- some aren't even 'B' side quality. A good percentage of artists in this collection are as obscure as the songs they perform, and for the familiar groups or vocalists, many of their songs may not ring a bell either. This collection is called "LOST AND FOUND" for a good reason.

Superb Overview Of The Girll Group Era.......2007-02-19

With this superb collection of some hits, and many misses during the 'girl group' era that really stretched between 1960 to 1969. The sound pretty much peaked in 1965 while the British Invasion more or less took over the American Top 40 charts, replacing teen anguish and a woman's point of view of growing up in love to what men really wanted to say. That is actually a flip-flop of what men were saying before the 'girls' had their turn, when Frankie Avalon, Bobby Rydell, Fabian, and other male teen idols dominated the charts. So, in essence, it was the 'girls' turn after male teen idols were growing older, and the girls had to give some answers.
This set, which is highly imaginative in packaging, includes some rather rare tracks that one would at times would need to find the original 45 release to get in order to hear.
I won't dwell on the obvious tracks here, like by the Shangri-Las, Darnells, Chris Clark, etc., but a few are worth the price of the whole.
My favorite is the contribution by Dolly Parton, "Don't Drop Out". Her voice seems so appropriate, but as we know which direction she chose, this track is one of the best unheard of gems, which is sad, as it should have done something.
Another classic is the 'stereo' version of Alder Ray's "Cause I Love Him", which in sound is alot different than the mono 45 version I possess. Crystal clear in sound, it still packs a punch.
One last great track that this package includes is Reparata & The Delron's "I'm Nobody's Baby Now". This track literally jumps out and bites. Not a Phil Spector sound-alike in intention, but does have a Righteous Brothers "Lovin' Feelin'" to it. Again, another clear and clean production.
I will say that with any package, there will be a few tracks that seriously should have been omitted, like "Egyptian Shumba" by The Tammys, which could have been replaced by another rarity that is not included, like Suzy Walli's "Be My Man" a powerful David Gates production from 1965, but everyone has different tastes. I for one admit that despite the few clunkers, this package is an excellent example of a time when girl groups and girl singers were everywhere.
Consider the fact that about 200 singles were released a week, and only a handful were graced on the Pop Charts. There are bound to be many that are excellent songs, but without the proper advertising, radio play, and touring, the obvious would happen. A good single that bombs.
One of my favorite artists is included, April Young. A shame that this package only inlcuded one track, "To Be Loved By You". It is a good song, but her energetic and rather forceful "Gonna Make Him My Baby" still sounds fresh.
Maybe in time Rhino will release a companion to this set. Sure, there are literally thousands of girl group records that were released in the 60's, like Marcia Strassman's "Out Of The Picture". Who's she? She later played the wife of Mr Kotter in 'Welcome Back Kotter", or "He's My Dreamboy" by Maria Antoinette, and other great girls like Beverly Warren, Roberta Day, Candy & The Kisses, The Joys, The Gleams, Carol Connors, etc. Can go on and on, but this package is worth the price, even to the most infrequent listener of the 'girl group' genre.
There are 4 cd's, so my advice is to just take a lazy afternoon, and while listening to the tracks, read the diary that is supplied. It's a good read, and at times rather refreshing, especially the rare pictures and even the pictures of the rare labels that sometimes one has never seen before.
Like i said, this package is worth the price.

Outstanding!.......2007-01-16

I'm a fanatic for the sound of the girl groups of the early 1960s.
Before it goes out of print, you need to pick up this incredible Rhino box
set.
One little problem is that Rhino's definition of "girl group" was too broad; some songs are female solo recordings on which backup singers play little or no role. And in an apparent attempt to appeal to the British market, they put on some British songs by people such as Cilla Black. The English had no handle on the girl-group sound at all; it was strictly an American phenomenon.
But with four CDs and 30 songs on each CD, who can complain? Some songs, such as several Shangri-Las rip-offs, are hilarious. Then
there's one called "He Makes Me So Mad" by the Hollywood Jills on which the lead singer is reciting her complaints about her boyfriend, and after each gripe the rest of the group comes in with a sarcastic reply. Example: "He told the gang that I swim raw." The reply: "Well, don't you?" Classic!
There's a great Wall of Sound-type song called "Bobby's Come a Long Long Way," produced by Al Kooper. I can't make out any of the lyrics, but
supposedly the song is about Bob Dylan!
You won't regret buying this box.

SIMPLY BRILLIANT!.......2007-01-04

Who ever thought of this, is a GENIOUS! There's so much good stuff in here it's like an overdose of REAL GOOD music. So many great female groups in here, like the Supremes (of the 60's), Reparata & the Delrons, the Marvelettes, Goldie and the Gingerbreads, the Lovelites, the Blossoms (I love their harmonies), and on, and on, and on.

Fantastically Wonderful Album.......2007-04-20

Singer/songwriter Griffin House provides a fantastic album full of outstanding lyrics and musical sounds. He does not disappoint. Have had this album since it first came out and I never tire of listening, with each listen I find something different that stands out and captures me.

Soothing and funny..........2007-04-11

I bought the CD with some apprehension as my taste of music is very variable. I must say that I was hooked on to the songs immediately. All the songs are gentle and melodious and articulate well. Some of the songs are quite funny.
Would surely recommend it ...

Another album you can pick confidently.......2007-01-25

I bought this album, along with one from Matt Nathanson and Amos Lee by following links here of what people bought when buying other albums in the same genre.
Well, I can say this album is really, really good. Along with Matt Nathanson and Amos Lee, those cds can play in my cd player forever on repeat and after a few hours I just start thinking "hey it's still the same cd in".

Yes it's that good and smooth. No track where you want to skip to the next, they're all good.

(yes I used the same review for Matt since both are in the same genre and as good)

A real gem.......2006-11-07

I have been listening to this cd for almost a year now and finally had a chance to see Griffin perform.
He is awesome.
He has his own style and plays for the music. His lyrics are powerful and moving... I got goosebumps on more than one occassion.
Buy it, listen to it, you'll love it.

Great CD, but kind of an acquired taste...........2006-04-20

I heard of this on CBS Sunday Morning and went out immediately and bought it. I just thought it was OK at first listen. After owning it for a couple months I pulled it out again and the more I listen to it the more appreciation I have for it. It's right up there near the top of my list for favorites.

Give it a listen (or two, maybe three) before you judge it.

not much new to be said...but this IS a great album.......2006-11-20

I've always been a fan of New Found Glory, since nothing gold can stay to coming home. They're never let me down and every CD is different and great. Though this album may sound a little bit higher pitched than past albums, it is in no way worse. Almost every song on the album is great and I listen to it often.

theyre a 3 star band. bottom line.......2006-07-29

i say this...because...while they can be musically powerful...the vocals have always been..and will probably always will be...a little weak. sounds like hes trying to force too much sound out of his mouth and some goes out of his nose. it gets annoying, no matter how catchy the song is. this is one of those bands that will have a constant 16 year old fan base. i remember when i got their first album...it was ok. got their seecond album thinking..."hey...they can only get better" but..they just got more experienced and not much better. this album would have been so much better if he took some voice lessons. whining aint so hot no more.

My favorite by NFG.......2006-06-13

New Found Glory is a great band, and I don't want to hear those stupid people getting all "This isn't punk." Anyway, NFG has been changing and I personally like it. It seems to me that they get better with each album. I originally ignored New Found Glory because I had that same narrow minded idea toward "what's punk and what isn't" But after I heard "No News is Good News" on Warped Tour 2004, I loved it. I loved it so much that I went out and bought the album and admitted I liked pop punk. I changed and am glad I did as I can now own a better variety of punk. Yes, I think this is punk. And if it isn't, oh well! I stille like it. Hey world! I like New Found Glory!!! Quit being closed minded and try this!!!

all hail to New found glory!!!.......2006-06-07

this cd top to bottom was a joy to listen to, as soon as I popped it in I was instantly grabbed by the music and awesome singing. sure I agree that the singers voice is not so great at times, but I have long given up on talented singers. singing has nothing to do with if the song sounds good or not. trust me. New Found Glory constantly comes up with reasons for their fans to keep interest in them even long after their best albums have been released. if you want a fun cd to sing along to that will allow you to once again enjoy new music, then this cd is for you. if you want to be a hateful dissapointed bashful fan, then go listen to fall out boy... or panic at the disco. New found glory delivers with this new and fresh album, and its nothing short of fun and entertaining... certainly an album to brag about for months.... so take it from me, its much better than you think

Chad Gilbert should be gravely ashamed of himself.......2006-02-25

I write this review only because I am a hardcore patriot and I am thoroughly disgusted by the very idea that this album has ears in the hardcore community. Listening to this makes me think I have Barney, The Wiggles, The teletubbies, and all the mouseketeers in the same room singing happy joyous songs that numb my brain to a point where I want to rip it out of my skull and stomp on it. Chad Gilbert might as well be wearing the Big Bird suit and helping young kids learn their ABC's, what happened to lyrics like "This ones for the world, I HATE YOU!" That's right all you Shai Hulud fans that might like this garbage Chad Gilbert helped engineer those lyrics and belted them out to hardcore kids across the nation before he decided to join Romper room and play hopskotch with his friends in New found glory. If your a hardcore kid and you listen to this stuff than you should be ashamed to call yourself hardcore. Do not use the excuse that Chad Gilbert is the guitarist and that makes it okay; if a bunch of your friends tell you to jump off of a bridge does that mean you do it? I would hope not. Attn all hardcore faithful: If you listen to this stuff, please for the love of the hardcore scene, please stop. Leave New Found Glory for sound bites on nickolodean and PBS kids, okay.
P.S. I rate this 1 star because the rating system does not include negative numbers.
