From the Screen to Your Stereo - New Found Glory (CD 2000)

A New Found Glory made the headlines as a punk band when they scored big by getting to open for Blink 182 last year. When I saw them I was impressed with the energy of the lead singer, Jordan Pundik, however his high pitched, unique, monotone voice did get a bit annoying by the end of the show. I would however still highly recommend this CD to anyone who loves punk music - after all, it's the Titanic song sang punk! The album cover plays up the whole movie theme song idea by showing many old drive in movie theater shots. The inside liner shows pictures of the band members and their names and..

I m not a real big fan of A New Found Glory, although I enjoy a few of their songs. Several years ago, I was searching for a soundtrack from the movie, The Goonies, but had no luck finding the album (although I found a copy later on). In my search for the soundtrack, I kept getting results back on this album, From The Screen To Your Stereo. So I decided to run down to the store and check it out. What I found was, a punk album with covers from classic 80 s (and a couple 90 s) movies. I was curious, so I went ahead and bought the album. The album isn t too bad.

A New Found Glory, eh? Something really bothers me about this band. They're like the pop punk band for teeny boppers who have just gotten past the whole Blink 182 thing. I saw them on MTV, and they're on a major record label... what the hey??? Oh well. They do play cute, fun, pop punk that I actually sort of have a soft spot for. I guess it's a piece of the eighth grade wannabe punk in me that hasn't died yet. This album contains 7 covers of popular movie themes. This seems really clever, but I'm pretty sure Me First and The Gimme Gimmes already did a whole album of this stuff. Let's analyze,.

This CD-EP is A New Found Glory's take on several classic movie themes, including "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" (from the 80's classic children's movie The Goonies) and the themes to Never Ending Story, Titanic, Karate Kid 2, Armaggedon, That Thing You Do, and Bryan Adam's song "(Everything I Do) I Do It For You" from Robin Hood with Kevin Costner. Sometimes cover albums can be quite dull, especially when the cover songs are mere straight-foward copies of the original. However, since none of the themes from these movies ever resembled anything pop-punk in the first place, all of these covers..
