Sticks and Stones [Bonus CD] (2002)

There isn't much difference between Sticks and Stones and New Found Glory's prior, self-titled MCA effort.

There isn't much difference between Sticks and Stones and New Found Glory's prior, self-titled MCA effort. It's highly accomplished, energetic punk-pop, the harmonies radiating youthful cheer, Jordan Pundik's lead vocals adding a tinge of youthful defiance and vulnerability. It's much more upbeat, for instance, than the opening lines of the opening cut, "Understatement," might portend: "I'm sick of smiling, and so is my jaw." Could it be that they're tiring of their usual upbeat demeanor and slyly slipping in a subversive message there?

It's more engaging than exciting, and though it sounds pretty radio-ready in the better sense of that term, it does start to blur together over a full-length hearing. [A bonus edition was released featuring a second disc featuring the following: an acoustic version of "Head on Collison," the bonus track "Forget Everything," plus songs from Further Seems Forever, Finch, Tsunami Bomb, H2O, the Exit, the Starting Line, and Don't Look Down.] ~ Richie Unterberger, Rovi Read Less
