[1] During the band's American tour in late 2009, they announced a special edition re-release of the album to celebrate its tenth anniversary.

[7] Drive-Thru had initially wanted to re-release Nothing Gold Can Stay along with a newly recorded version of breakthrough single "Hit or Miss".

[10] Around this time, the band took a two-week break from touring and entered a studio to record the From the Screen to Your Stereo EP,[10][11] which was released in March 2000.

[8] Sessions were held at Elysian Fields Studios in Boca Raton, Florida; Avron was assisted by Chad Milosevich.

[14] Musically, New Found Glory has been described as pop punk, comprising upbeat rhythms, buzzing guitar work, and nasally vocals,[15][16] drawing comparisons to Blink-182 and the Get Up Kids.

[22] The opening track "Better Off Dead" starts with fast-paced drums and up-tempo guitar riffs,[16] which Gilbert said was indebted to his punk and hardcore roots.

[3] "Hit or Miss" sees the narrator tell a story of waiting by a phone that will never ring,[23] and references "Thriller" by Michael Jackson.

The group invited fans through their website to attend the filming, which resulted in over 1,000 people showing up and being shut down by the Los Angeles County fire marshal.

[28] Preceded by a performance at KROQ Weenie Roast,[35] the band played the first seven shows on the Warped Tour[36] until early July.

[40] In October and November, the band went on the Warped Inside Tour,[41] which featured Rx Bandits, H2O and River City High as the support acts.

[42] Halfway through the trek, Bolooki broke his arm after falling off stage; Rx Bandit drummer Chris Tsagakis filled his spot.

[46] Soon after in December 2009, AbsolutePunk officially announced the special anniversary edition of the album would be released on January 26, 2010, through Geffen Records.

[47] The additional material includes new liner notes, demos, b-sides, The Story So Far DVD and a remix of debut single "Hit or Miss" by the late Jerry Finn.

Its collage of faded photos, including images of video games, roller skates and a Playboy, is said to encapsulate the band members' lives as teenagers (when the album was written).

Despite stating the album wasn't "entirely original," he praised the record's "choppy uptempo rhythms, spiky buzzing guitars, and youthful harmonies."

Comparing the band to Green Day, Face to Face and Blink-182, he stated, "New Found Glory hits on a winning formula on its self-titled record: Without treading too far from the aggro path blazed years ago by bands like Dag Nasty, the quintet delivers catchy pop-punk riffs, smooth vocal harmonies and songs that are angst-ridden without being nihilistic.

"[49] In his 8/10 review for webzine Drowned in Sound, Martin Rivers said its songs were "spellbindingly catchy", making for a "polished and hugely refreshing album.

"[50] Fellow British magazine NME awarded the album 8/10 and opined the band had "spot-on vocal harmonies that add just the right amount of pop tinge to [their] relentlessly hard-charging tunes.

Released before emo had become a dirty word, the disc boasted a boisterous but sensitive pop-punk mood that was reflected on its cover - perfectly encapsulating the record's lyrical and sonic dance between teenage romantic naiveté and adulthood.

"[57] "Back when New Found Glory's self-titled album was released, there weren't many that gave it a chance to be one of the building-blocks for an entire genre.

"[57] Reviewing the 10th Anniversary Edition in 2010, Adam Kennedy of Rock Sound explained that the re-issue was a "timely reminder of their bratty pop-punk beginnings.

If heartfelt accounts of adolescent love and loss is what you're looking for, New Found Glory is as relevant today as ten years previous.

"[8] It was also explained that when Jared Logan was producing Fall Out Boy's debut album, he asked bassist Pete Wentz about the sound the band had desired for recording.

[59] Earlier in 2001, Rock Sound placed the album at number forty-five in its annual "Critics' Poll of 2001",[60] while in 2012 it was formally inducted into its official Hall of Fame.

Ben Patashnik expressed that "with this album, NFG capture the best parts of summer – the girls, the sun, the house parties, the heartache, the misery – and cram all of that into 36 hook-laden minutes.

[64] In Rolling Stone's "50 greatest pop-punk albums" article, Suzy Exposito noted how New Found Glory "is exactly what you'd expect from a bunch of baby-faced punks who kept an altar to Britney Spears in their van.
