Sticks & Stones - New Found Glory

It’s nearing the end of the summer holidays, and I’m avoiding the preparation work that the teachers so kindly set us before we all went to flop on our respective sofas (apart from the insane few, including myself, who left before the end of term to go on an expedition to Bolivia and so received the work at the doomed day of reception of results). That, at the outset, appears to have little or nothing to do with this review, but in fact I would like to defend myself here and set out my case. In an ordinary course of events, I have little time betwixt and between working, pretending to be working, thinking about working, and being smug that I’m not working ...  Read the complete review

Sticks and stones is the third studio album by the band new found glory. It was released in 2002, just two years after the their very successful second self titled album. By this time the band were gaining fans rapidly and so there must have been a bit of pressure on them to deliver on this album, and well, im glad to say they did more than that.

Actually, that's not entirely true as this album sounds very much like the bands second album; therein lies the problem though.

Twelve tracks feature here, it's a fun pop punk album and ...  Read the complete review

New Found Glory previous to this had released 2 EP's and 2 albums. All had promised much but only delivered a percentage of what was expected. With the release of their 3rd album Sticks and Stones there was a lot of pressure on NFG to make a top quality album. In Sticks and Stones i feel New Found Glory have done exactly what they set out to do and have made a very competant follow up to their Self titled album. First of all the album is much longer, 12 regular tracks, with 2 addition tracks depending on version there is also an acoustic version of a song from the album (Also done on a Finch album re-released on MCA- coincedince?). Also there is a ...  Read the complete review
