New Found Glory - Makes Me Sick (April 28th, 2017) Album • Page 34

Someone said that here before...wish Ready&Willing was on this album...I love that song so much and with second guitar and these synths...can't even imagine

 

I wish synth/keys were incorporated allow over Resurrection and Radiosurgery.

 

Finally gave this thing a full listen. Really big improvement over Radiosurgery and Resurrection. But it's still nothing amazing imo.
I'll give it a few more listens, but right now the only songs I find myself coming back to are Antisocial, blurred vision and the sound of two voices.

 

sounds like you might wanna give up on nfg then. i think the last 3 albums have incorporated all of NFG's 'sounds', you dont think so?

 

i had a really hard time not giving up on NFG after the last two albums

 

and what about this album?

 

I think they've actually done a really good job disassociating themselves with Steve. Maybe not in the music but like in all of their promo and music videos and live performances and stuff they seem really natural as a four-piece

For me at least

 

its very cool

 

TBH, I never really took Steve as a major piece to this band aside from being a rhythm guitarist to help fill the sound and add a little energy onstage. I found out over the years A LOT of the stuff I love about this band's music was that Chad and Cyrus actually had a lot to do with it. I just find it funny how Steve took credit for stuff he didn't do.

 

And...this album is awesome.

 

If they add a 5th member I think the way the 1975 do it would be best since they've toured as a four piece for 3+years. Or the way Green Day does it.

 

I just want them to get someone who's going to be fun onstage haha

 

i love the first two tracks though!

 

I'm confused at everyone saying they need a live rhythm guitarist, doesn't the rhythm guitarist for Set Your Goals do guitar tech and plays side stage for them? I know he did it for the first couple tours after Steve was gone, thought he was still there.

 

Idk I just watched a live vid of Party On Apocalypse and I only heard one guitar.

 

He does for a lot of the songs at least. If not all of them

 

I'm confused at all this rhythm guitar talk... I don't believe they ever had someone play with them post-Steve. I've seen them a few times every tour since and they didn't have anyone. A few times it was a tiny club where no one could hide. I even asked Chad during the M&G about his tone since I think it sounds so huge and he was like "ahh man, thanks, i just play loud and play with passion. That's our secret for huge sound." Justin does play keyboards, but you probably just see him tuning or checking guitars.

Here's an article with Chad:

"When we came to Florida for the cruise, we practiced for two days. We were kinda like, "Alright this is going to be our first practice as a four-piece and we'll see how it goes." We thought on slow songs, Jordan could play some if we needed it. And then Justin (Ksionzek), who's my guitar tech (and road manager) and played guitar for Set Your Goals on tour, if we need it we can have him play it on the side. But after practice we were like, "It's really not missing anything." It sounded so good that we were like, "You know what, let's keep it like this." We always knew we would keep it as a four-piece.

There was never any thought, nor will there be any thought or consideration to ever have a fifth member. It's always going to be the four of us. As far as live, we're figuring it out, but we like it better than having an extra person. It's definitely easier to worry about us four than trying to find someone."

 

Saw them tonight. Definitely don't have a second guitarist though I do think that would be very welcomed. They played Party On Apocalypse. I wish they would have played a few more new songs because they are always stuck in my head

 

Crowd was crazy! Show was a lot of fun

 

You're speaking the loudest.....

 

I'm sure this has been discussed by now, but are there any bonus tracks floating around for this album?

 

Nope

 

seeing Jordan with guitar would be the most weird thing ever.....probably more than seeing Travis Barker on bass guitar lol

 

Not yet
