New Found Glory – New Found Glory

I'm not sure they're numbered out of 1000. My copy is numbered 1327/2000

pretty good press. not much else to say about it. sounds on-par with the other variants of this record that i’ve listened to (all except the white). a pop punk classic done well.

Love this record hit or miss is like the heaviest pop/punk song I’ve ever heard but great pressing

Thrilled to finally have one of my all time records on vinyl. Great packaging and layout. Nice solid white colour. Doesn’t blow you away on sound but it’s very crisp and can hear all the record the way it sounded way back when.

Pressing - 5/5
Heavyweight, flat, and nicely pressed. Mine is almost dead silent and no distortion at all in the inner grooves, even with the added bonus track. Mondo/GZ did a great job with this press.

Mastering - 4/5
Inherently, this is going to be a “digital” sounding record because of when and how it was recorded. The low end is great, the highs are great, but the mids are muddy, which makes it come across as harsh. That being said, it’s got a nice sound stage - I listened to this album a million times growing up, and I heard new things the first time I listened to it closely on vinyl.

Packaging - 4/5
This album would have been a good candidate to do in a gatefold because they had a lot of art assets from this era. Again, as someone who played this CD into the ground as a kid, it specifically is missing the great photo of the band jumping from the back cover of the CD. But, that criticism is probably because I know too much - aside from that, it’s great. The insert is high quality and the images are nice and crisp. Also, really glad they included So Many Ways, maybe my favorite song on the album.

Overall - 4/5
It’s not going to knock your socks off, but if you love this album as much as I do, you won’t be disappointed.

the first pressing i got had a literal hole in it. this one has a few air bubbles that could easily create a whole. evidently made pretty cheaply, but it sounds good. just nervous to give it too many spins. generous 4/5.

Great pressing! Sounds great! Happy they finally decided to put this album on vinyl! Now let’s hope for “Sticks N Stones” & “Catalyst”

Something sounds strangely flat about it, but it’s pretty good. Makes me a little nervous about what the non-180g versions may sound like when I get them.

Pressing sounds good, no noise/popping on first listen. Glad to finally have this!

Such a great pressing! Sold out very quickly though Ltd to a 1,000 copies
