New Found Glory --> 
NFG AP ReviewPosted 1/1/2007 by Suretone Who you callin' "old school?"
It's not as if we ever doubted New Found Glory. But after nine years, one would be hard-pressed to see a band make such vast improvements at their own game. Yet NFG have done just that with Coming Home, extracting their finest qualities, which had often been muddied beneath saturated guitars and pressing tempos. Though comparatively more toned-down, Home is bound to fill any pop-punk void, launching with the excellent "Oxygen," which boasts stuttering rhythms and full-bodied guitars. The album's first single, "It's Nor Your Fault," also maintains a similarly lively pace, but it's "On MY Mind," that enters NFG into the music books, tactfully referencing the best of rock's past through their gold-plated vocal melodies, making it NFG's best song ever. With a distinct identity courtesy of veteran producer Thom Panunsio, Coming Home offers new vitality to a band that's now become elder statesmen amongst their peers. And that's definitely not a bad position to be in.
