Advantages: good songs

Disadvantages: none

Catalyst is the fourth studio album from the pop punk band new fond glory. It was released in 2004 and is one of the bands most successful albums, and in my opinion one of their best as well.

All down hill from here was the first single to be released off the album, it's the second song off the album after the short little intro. Its not my favourite track off the album, it's a bit too slow in parts for my liking however the verses are quite good and the guitar on the track is good, I think the chorus lets it down a bit though.

Truth of my youth, another single off the album has to be my absolute favourite song off the album, probably my favourite song from the band as well. Its very fast from the start when the guitar and fast drums come in and the instruments carry the actually quite melodic singing all the way through the song, the verses are very good, the chorus is very catchy and it just makes a perfect song.

Failures not flattering is another one of my favourites off this album, its got a really good opening with the singing coming in straight away, I'm not sure about the little keyboard part after the opening but after that the versus come in and it gets going very well. The chorus is really catchy and sung well as well.

No news is good news is one of the slower songs off the album, it starts with singing and a very slow guitar strumming track, the drums come in but it still remains quite a slow song even when all the guitars come in. Its just quite a nice relaxing song off an album that is quite fast paced.
