Nothing Gold Can Stay - A New Found Glory

'Nothing Gold Can Stay' is the first studio album that New Found Glory ever released as a band. The record emerged in 1999 through Drive-Thru Records and is I feel an absolutely excellent début album from the band. This is not the best New Found Glory album that there is and the production is certainly not great; there are however a number of excellent pop punk tracks that feature here and always the bands music provides for an extremely positive and upbeat overall listening experience. From first track 'Hit Or Miss' right through to closing anthem 'The Goodbye Song' the music really is very strongly put across by the band here. 'Hit Or Miss' is actually one ...  Read the complete review

Nothing gold can stay is the first album from the American punk pop band new found glory. It contains some really great songs and its no wonder this album managed to propel them into the limelight and that they had such a great career after its release. The first song is one of my favourites off the album, the singing is fairly raw, as it is in most the songs but I like this.

Hey Guess What? I'm doing am opinion on a band that i really like so it is going to be very bias, i thought i'd just warn you of that. This is the Bands first proper full length album. I personally think it is done very well. The album is released through "indie" label Drive Thru records and produced by the band themselves which is why the album sounds more raw. The album makes its mark with the catchy and fast song "Hit Or Miss" (which was later re-done and put on their self titled album). A good track which is catchy vocally, lyrically and musically (are these words? :) ). 'Passing Time' and 'never ...  Read the complete review
