On their self-titled album, Florida quintet New Found Glory make spike-topped punk pop in the mould of Green Day--who figure in the lengthy A-Z band check list on the sleeve. The follow up to their 1999 debut Nothing Gold Can Stay, this shows little interest in deviating from the breakneck three-chord template or their usual preoccupation (or more correctly, infatuation) with girls. The traditional lyrical concerns expressed in lines such as "You gotta watch out for the beautiful ones / They'll twist your head right off your neck / And laugh about it with their friends" ("Boy Crazy") might well be destined to soundtrack lightweight teen movies but they tend to congeal into one big too-sweet sugar rush. --Mike Pattenden
