New Found Glory Band • Page 78

Whether it’s established songs or new ones, Im down for this!

 

Feels like should have happened, so I’m glad it is. Band puts out lots of content (most recently a covers EP, album, deluxe, and Christmas album), so credit to them for that.

 

As long as an acoustic NFG album features songs from Coming Home, I'm all in.

 

While it would be cool to have updated acoustic songs I hope they don’t use any that they already recorded as B sides in previous albums (ie Truth Of My Youth, Story So Far, Head On Collision, All Downhill From Here etc).

 

Too Good To Be

 

ADFH is one of their biggest songs so I bet it’ll be on there.

 

Oh yeah I definitely think it will be but for me it would be a waste of a track space since we already have it and it sounds really good.

 

Any benefits to organizing bonus tracks into a Disc 2 format or just looks cleaner to you?

 

I forgot who showed me they did that first, maybe @Jacob Tender? But I liked how it worked/looked and kept the album and that era’s songs together for when listening.

 

Sonny would be an amazing acoustic track

 

We've definitely talked about that before. I've done this for albums where the store-exclusive track has a lower bitrate than the rest of the record. Keeps them all together in Swinsian / Plex, but allows me to store them in different directories based on their source and quality.

 

I am 100% a weirdo for zooming in looking for clues here but seems like a new song on the board.

Def down for an acoustic album with some new songs. or mostly new with a few classics as extras?

 

They all look like such dads

 

Hell yes. Phone alarm just set for next Tuesday at 11:55am haha

 

3000 is totally not going to be enough. Must... get ...

 

So Sticks and Stones sold 91K in the first week and was certified platinum in 2020.

I don’t know how many have been pressed so far but what should they be pressing to meet the demand ? 10K?

 

Growing up is realising Coming Home is by far the best NFG album.

I've gone back to this album in the last few days and I forgot how much I enjoyed this one. It's a shame they didn't double down on this style after and reverted back to type.

 

Coming Home is a good record, but I don’t think anything about that era of the band was overly genuine.

 

Agreed. I think this thread has talked about it before, but the band's change in sound and change in appearance during this era definitely felt like a forced attempt to capitalize on the Dashboard/Augustana/The Fray type bands that were hitting it big at the time.

 

This is the first album I ever bought on release day.

 

Yup, my thoughts exactly. I love that record and I’m glad that era existed, but I don’t think they’re still playing their usual brand of pop punk for any other reason than that is still the type of music they want to play.

 

I really hope the Coming Home on vinyl rumors for later this year are true.

 

If there wasn't such a tremendously unwarranted backlash to Coming Home, they wouldn't have done such a breakneck overcorrection with the next album. It was fairly transparent to me and felt way more inauthentic than the pivot to Coming Home in the first place.

They play this music because it's what the majority of their fans want.... though I would say no one should want whatever the last album turned out to be.

 

OMG take all my money.
