Ok, let's get past the lameass album title and cover art and get to the music! Ok, the music is lameass too, sorry if this disappoints any of you, but I thought "Sticks and Stones" was pretty weak too. I was a fan of "Nothing Gold Can Stay," then a little bit less on their self-titled effort, then I didn't like their Junior effort at all and this one is just trash. Some say I'm too negative, but hey, I'm reviewing a new album that has just hit the racks at Best Buy. Ok, bluntly, this guy's voice is the most annoying goddamned thing that I have ever heard. On this album, it reaches the breaking point, the climactic pinnacle peak of suck. He is trying so hard and falling even harder with that bullshit falsetto "I'm-pinching-my-nose-to-sing" bit. This is, apparently, NFG's chance to get "political" I guess in light of it being an election year, but, according to the band, "Catalyst means change, and this is no exception, it's different." Big label pop-punk whining whining whining, marketed to a bunch of fourteen year old kids who aren't even old enough to vote and only old enough to spike up their hair and call you a fag. A rapid digression, the sound on this fucker is...what you expect. Totally glossy. Polished and primped with each song falling in line like a lemming. Ok, that's enough, I've made my views clear. This sucks (guest review: Ian from punkunited.com).
