Sticks and Stones, the third record from Florida emo-punkers New Found Glory, might wear its broken heart on its sleeve, but that doesn't mean it has to pretend to be mature. No, Blink-182's first choice of opening band have a firm grasp of the puerile: Sticks and Stones churns out dumb punk thrills at such a breakneck pace, you'd swear they were going out of fashion. The chugging "It's Been a Summer" does Blink as well as Travis, Mark, and Tom do themselves, while "Head-On Collision" displays the group's tender emo side, frontman Jordan Pundik smarting at a vicious relationship spat. "It feels like I'm bruised and broken / From our head-on collision," he sobs, as guitars crunch and blunder madly in the background. Thing is, although some of the tunes are spot on--particularly, the lovestruck "My Friend's Over You" and the moshpit-friendly "Something I Call Personality"--there's little to radically distinguish New Found Glory from their peers. If you're a diehard pop-punk fan, you've probably got records like this--and better--in your collection already. --Louis Pattison

A tale of two CDs.......2006-08-05
before the emo/punk (if you can call it that) boom of 2004, there were still bands, such as New Found Glory, interested in writing simple catchy songs over crunching guitars in the vein of Green Day and Blink182 (before every band, including NFG, started inserting every hardcore and metal cliche in the book).
This music is not incredibly original, but "Sticks and Stones" is very likable and does a fine job honoring the pop-punk tradition. Unfortunately the second half of the disc cannot keep pace with the first half. After "Forget My Name", one figures that if the band can keep this up for five more songs, "Sticks and Stones" becomes a classic. Starting with the fast, crackling, opener "Understatement", the first single "My Friends Over You" and the pinnacle "Forget My Name", the first half rolls along with a great, exciting pace and energy. But, then comes the caveat. With the exception of "Story So Far", the second half pales in comparison with the first half, as you can see and hear the creative juices of New Found Glory running short in the final five songs.
However, the first seven songs are enough to earn this CD four stars (really more like 3.5) as well as making it worth a buy, seeing as you can probably get it for fairly cheap. Pick it up for 11 bucks and you'll get your money's worth
This is all getting out of hand.......2006-07-28
Punk is not about listening to bands like the MIsfits and T.S.O.L and other old punk bands. Punk is about not following the crowd and doing stuff your own way and not letting other people get in the way of your own intrests. SO technically if the pop punk listeners listened to all those idiots telling people to listen to old school punk then they would actually become something their not
Anyway this happens to be a great cd. Very differant from Nothing gold can stay and All about a girl. JOrdan's voice obviously was polished in some way. The instrumentals are actually very similar to the sound of their two first cd's.
Now i guess I am going to review each cd.
Understatment 5/5 An incredibly catchy song that doens't get old very fast. This song will please most NFG fans.
My Friends over you 4/5 Most people will adore this song until about a week after they hear it when this song gets very annoying.
Sonny. 4.5/5 This song has very creative lyrics and a very interesting story.
SOmething I call Personality. 3/5 A song that most people will enjoy but it just doesn't do it for me
Head on Collision. 4/5 Pretty much the same story as My Friends Over you.
It's been a Summer 5/5 Starts with a very catchy riff and stays like that for the whole song.
Forget my Name. 4.5/5 Very good lyrics.
Never Give up 4.5/5 A song that can cheer anyone up
The Great Houdini 5/5 Really catchy
Singled Out. 5/5 Defienntly my favorite on the cd.
Belated. 2.5/5 Pretty good lyrics but just doesn't have the thing that makes te other songs so great
The Story So Far. 5/5 Great finisher
Overall 52/60 A great effort
Best NFG Album!.......2006-03-07
These are how I rate the songs-
Understatement- Possibly the best opener ever 5/5
My Friends Over You- A really good song but if you listen to it more than two times in a hour time period it gets annoying. 4/5
Sonny- Nice, Calm and Melodic but possibly the worst song on the album. 2.5/5
Something I call Personality- Really fast and cool it almost makes listening to "Sonny" worthwhile. 4/5
Head on Collision- Their greatest slow song ever. 4/5
It's Been a Summer- Really catchy to listen to and it will never get annoying even if you listen to it one-hundred times! 4.5/5
Forget My Name- This song kinda' reminds me of Sum 41, and that is a good thing a really good thing. But it can be really sad if you really listen hard to the lyrics. 4/5
Never Give Up- This song is a little more hopeful than "Forget My Name" and I think everyone can enjoy it. 3.5/5
The Great Houdini- Has nothing to do with Harry Houdini and so I say WTF!!! 3/5
Singled Out- I like the techno beginning alot and the rest also rules. It is the best song on the album next to "Understatement." 5/5
Belated- Sorta' sucks but in its own way it is good. In other words it sounds like a Simple Plan song and that is a put down. 3/5
The Story So Far- Cool song very awesome except for that P.O.C hidden track. Get rid of the hidden track and you have a winner! With hidden tack loser! Keep the Hidden Track, 0.5/5
Without, 5/5
Possibly the greatest punk album ever.
pretty good stuff.......2006-02-28
I am rather new to New Found Glory and, not being a huge fan of this genre of music, was pleasantly surprised.I own both this and Nothing Gold Can Stay and this is the better of the two in my opinion. I also know that one of the members used to be in a band called Shai Hulud, and old metalcore band that I'm a fan of. Check them out, broaden your musical interests. That's what I did with this cd and it turned out fairly well. 4 stars.
A slight decline.......2006-01-23
New Found Glory is one of the oldest of the current pop punk bands. Their self titled album was hands down their crowning achievement, bursting with catchy and well written songs for their mostly teenage audience. This album kind of carries over, possessing much of the same drive, but lacking a little bit of each of the elements that made their last album so great.
Understatement starts the album off with a roar. This is actually my favorite song of theirs ever. It is well written, it is catchy, it is fast and loud, and it is pretty much amazing. My Friends Over You is slightly overrated, but I was at one time obsessed with it. It is certainly pretty damn catchy. Sonny is a slow and catcy song about losing someone. Something I Call Personality is a slightly overdone song. By the sound of it, you expect something assaulting, but it doesn't really pick up in any of the right places, and comes out seeming incomplete in some ways, overdone in others. Head on Collison is a good, but lyrically predictable song. Its Been a Summer was like a little mini crack addiction for me. I listened to that song for a good 2 or 3 weeks pretty much all the time. Trust me, it will find its way into your head.
Forget My Name is a great song, if not purely redeemed by the first 20 seconds. Jordan definitely has a good voice for hooking the listeners in. The next two songs are really where the album lags. They are OK, but mainly boring and uninteresting. The album would be MUCH better off just without them. Singled Out is a great song about a long relationship or friendship gone sour. Belated is another boring song which usually has me reaching for the seek button. The Story So Far is another good song. It is actually a little different than what they usually sound like, and it left me hoping for a musical evolution in the band for the next album (which, by the way, did NOT happen).
All in all, this album succeeds in putting out a pretty good pop punk album. A few amazing songs, a handful of decent ones, and a few stinkers. If you are looking for a good cd to listen to these guys, i would suggest their self titled album. If you listened to that and what the next best, definitely go with this one. Definitely worth a try

At 23 years old, Tracy Lawrence helped usher in the "hat act" era in country music with this highly successful 1991 debut. Using traditional country instruments to create a polished modern sound, Lawrence and producer James Stroud concocted tasty, accessible radio fare with the upbeat "Runnin' Behind" and the midtempo ballad "Today's Lonely Fool." The album set the tone for a series of successful albums by Lawrence that balance fun country romps with romantic balladry. Oddly, the turmoil of Lawrence's private life--which includes parking lot shootings, highway chases, and brief and stormy marriages--never seeped into his music. On record, Lawrence maintains a mature, happy-go-lucky persona, no matter what goes on behind the scenes. --Michael McCall
Customer Reviews:
Great CD.......2007-07-12
Hey, how can you go wrong with Tracy. He's great no matter what he sings.
Tracy is the best.......2002-02-24
This is one of Tracy's first albums, he just keeps getting better with each one he puts out! Tracy can sing a love song like no other. He can also get you up and dancing the very next song.
Great combination of modern and traditional country.......2002-01-09
Sticks And Stones, Tracy Lawrence's debut CD from 1991, introduced a young, vibrant new vocalist to country music, one of many who followed in the wake of Garth Brooks' amazing success story. Country in the early 90s retained enough of a traditional element to satisfy older fans (unlike today), while still establishing the music as of its time and not dated. Tracy Lawrence was one of the long line of country males often categorised as "hat acts" and to the general public, all too similar to really have clear identities of their own. In Lawrence's case, this would not be a fair accusation, as his soulful vocals made him an all too rare example of an instantly recognisable vocalist in a sea of clones. His debut album was surprisingly (and to his credit) dominated by ballads and mournful country heartbreakers. There are only three uptempo songs on the album, which he performs well. It's the ballads that he excels at, including his two co-writes, Dancin' To Sweet 17 and Froze Over. The best song on the album, and later covered by George Jones (a compliment in itself) is Somebody Paints The Wall, the story of one of life's losers who seems to encounter disappointment at every turn in his life. Tracy Lawrence has long since established a long hit-making career in country music which continues to this day. This album remains one of his best.
Today's Lonely Fool........2000-06-14
Tracy Brings Out The Goods Of Country Music. Sure He Can Sing Like George Strait. He Says That He Is Alone On The Midtemple Ballad "Today's Lonely Fool". The Upbeat "Runnin' Behind" Can Make You Get Up And Dance. The Title Track Was Also A Dance Ballad Too And It Became His First Number 1 Hit.
Very country......what a talent he is!!.......1999-06-30
Tracy Lawrence is now what I believe to be the best singer with the most range in country music. This album was only a stepping stone for him. Buy it and I am sure you will approve!!

Six Stars!.......2000-01-29
It would be impossible to over-rate this CD by Ray O. Closer to six stars than five. End-to-end, wall-to-wall sensational, every cut: writing, playing and execution. BTW, Don't bother to sit down after you put this CD in the player...!
Outstanding jazz with an authentic south-of-the border flair.......1999-02-20
Ray Obiedo has impressed before, but really outdoes himself with this fine work. The arrangements and musicianship are lively and implacable. The music line follows that wonderful South American sound, but Ray is not afraid to divert onto some really way-out jazz story-lines when the mood seems right. Of particular note on this album is "Braziliero", which moves along at a really nice pace. You will find yourself moving arms, legs, fingers and perhaps, some body parts you didn't know you had, especially when one of Rays musicians takes off on the steel pans...what a ride! A terrific album, especially if you love that S.A. influence as I do! Just ever-so slightly reminiscent of our beloved Sergio Mendez only jazzier. But don't be the "fool on the hill"; give this-un an ear, or two!

Intelligent acoustic - "The Corn".......2007-06-15
The "Corn" is how REY refers to his sound. Sticks & Stones is it. This is one of my top CD's of all time and stays near if not in my CD player at all times. I originally heard the song "Elizabeth" on digital cable radio at a friend's house and wrote down Rob's name as I was blown away by the song.
The CD starts of with tribal influences flowing right into "Trance Dance" and does not disappoint. Michael Hedges appears on the track "Mr. Possum" and Michael Manring's (bassist extraordinaire) signature and playing are pervasive as well. Favorite tracks are the afore-mentioned "Elizabeth", "En Soleil" and "Magister Ludi" (a reference to Herman Hesse's Glass Bead Game novel). The CD ends on a unique note with Rob looping a riff through a Lexicon Jam Man during the hidden track "Christopher Contemplates The Edge". I find myself listening very deliberately on all the tracks to hear the different guitar's that Rob uses as well, from his Koa Jumbo to the Martin Parlor.
This is just one of those CD's that you will find yourself wishing for a set of headphones so you have no outside influences or if you do have a pair, pressing them so hard against your ears to not miss a note. BUY THIS CD.
Sexy, Mystical and Soul Stirring.......2005-01-24
I love to find good music for listening to during intimacy. Rob Eberhard Youngs guitar stylings have all the requirements of a mood setter. He should make an entire collection of ballad type songs just for listening to alone with a significant other. This man has to be a tender lover, for he knows exactly how to romance the guitar for optimum results.
It is rare to find something I can listen to in its entirety. Rob Eberhard Young is a guitar genius. I confess, I bought 'Sticks and Stones' on a whim. I had no idea what I was purchasing. I only knew that I enjoy good guitar music and I chose this CD, quite out of an innocent desire to try something new. I am an amateur at playing the guitar. Listening to Young wrap his mind around the frets, makes me think I ought to spend more time with it. Creative, innovative, intriguing, and captivating. I can't recommend this CD highly enough for the sheer ingenuity of it all. I am impressed and I think you will be, too. It has all the smoky, cimmerian mysticism necessary for being transported to another dimension.
fahey reincarnated with hedges.......2003-02-26
they DO come back...felt like i was in a seance visited by the ghosts of fahey and hedges and yet even perhaps Robbie Basho sat in for the session.this guy is everything and then some. why aren't there more c/ds out here by rob eberhard? such a delicate touch, an almost zen-like sensitivity to the material needs to be more available. if you love fahey and hedges,you will think the ghosts have somehow found a reunion in this disc. buy it and fly...trance dance will definitely take you there.
All time Classic!!.......2001-06-18
Wow! What an album. Rob Eberhard Young is one of the most passionate guitarists I have ever heard. Both his fingerstyle and his wacka-wacka (which Hedges would call it) is such a pleasure to listen to. There is just so much between the notes. Passion. There loads of movement in songs like Trance Dance and Magister Ludi whilst there's also soothing tracks like En Soleil (featuring Will Ackerman) and Jeremy (which was actually recorded in some cave in Bali). The album also features an amazing 25 minute hidden track of guitar loops that always drives me into an hypnotic state. Sticks and Stones also features the Great Michael Hedges on harp guitar on the powerful Mr. Possum and Michael Manring on e-bow and bass on a few tracks too. REY's second album, Sticks and Stones will take you places that no one has been able to and won't allow you back. Buy it NOW!
Has Sensibilities........2001-04-23
Other reviews may comment on Young's chops or some moments that are reminicent of Michael Hedges, thats all fine....but who doesn't have great chops and hasn't taken inspiration from MH??
This CD is sensitive and the music is pretty. The playing and composition is patient, reserved and each note is carefully taken into account. Spacious and colorfull.
Makes for a very non-pretentious and effective listening pleasure.
Great player, great musician.
Added bass from Michael Manring is a bonus. Solo guitar fans will be love it.

Wes King in the Raw.......2000-12-20
This is my favorite album by Wes. It's not as over-produced as the other albums, and truly represents who he as an artist. You can really hear more of his true guitar talent, without overwhelming keyboards or cheesy background vocals. The only other album that comes close to being this cool is "A Room Full of Stories". I think Wes had the unfortunate experience of sacrificing his music to the Nashville producers with all the inbetween albums, but this album represents the true Wes, before Nashville took over.

Good, but lost what made the band unique.......2006-08-10
This is the scond album from The Toll on Geffen. Their first, "Price of Progression" was fantastic, featuring a number of 8+ minute epic songs. The first album had a lot of spoken word parts to songs as well. "Stick & Stones" has none of that. Not that it's bad, it just seems like the record company told them to lose all of the aspects that made them unique. The songs are still very good basic rock with excellent, thought-provoking lyrics, but the heart of the thing was gone.
The fact that "Price of Progression" is selling for $75 used, but "Sticks and Stones" is selling for a penny, should tell you something.
Classic Rock Album.......2004-05-12
If you like rock and roll from its glory days, this is a great album. No reason not to check it out!!

Album Description
The members of the Chicago-born trio Sticks & Stones first got together on the stage of the Velvet Lounge as part of the Sunday night house band about four years ago. For the past three years, alto saxophonist Matana Roberts, bassist Joshua Abrams, and drummer Chad Taylor have crafted their own brand of honest collective music in the great Chicago tradition. The group's self-titled debut features three original compositions from each of the group's members plus covers of John McNeil's "Lose My Number" and Lee "Scratch" Perry's "Sons of Slaves."

They wont break your bones.......2004-10-06
A far cry from the popular sound of punk, being whiney kids screaming or depressed people moaning about broken hearts, Sticks & Stones have a very unique sound and a meaning full basis for their lyrics. The band is fronted by the lead signer from the equally excellent World/Inferno a big name in the Tri-State area. Going between hard driving punk rock break downs to beautiful crooning in a remarkable synergy. As well as divergent vocal stylings they also incorperate symphonic elements such as the piano and other classical elements. The resulting sound of all these elements is a sound that plays right into the soul, like the powerful (and very catchy) "A whim & a prayer". A must have for any music collection able to appeal to everyone from young emo kids to Ozzy and his grandma.
a refreshing, spirited punk record.......2003-06-14
the melodies on this record are pretty terrific. sticks & stones definitely stand apart from the rest of the punkrock crowd by creating songs that dont rely on just three chords, a boring/bored voice, and simple drum beat. if you like punkrock but you're looking for something a little more interesting and lively (and most importantly, really thoughtful and thought-provoking) than what's in your collection, definitely check out this record and this band...

Blue Moon Boys- Sticks and Stones.......2000-07-15
Though best known for their barnstorming Rockabilly attack. This latest release from Indiana's Blue Moon Boys shows a slight departure from that style. In this case, the lads are running amok through a vast range of new territory. To give a few examples. Try to imagine (if you can) a world where Brian Jones persuades the Rolling Stones to record surf album featuring Special Guest: Porter Waggoner! Or..how about Hank Snow jamming out with The Descendents. And last, but certainly not least- Envision Eddie Cochran (as ET) phoning home to Eddy Rabbitt from Heaven with a new idea for his latest disc. Yep, these are the some of the weird sounds reaching out to me as I crank it up! Although not quite as crucial to ones collection as the top notch, "Live In New York" CD. "Sticks And Stones", with a few listens, can prove to be just as rewarding.
