''New Found Glory'' is the eponymously titled second studio album by the American pop-punk band of the same name. It was produced and mixed by Neal Avron and released on September 26, 2000 through Drive-Thru Records. Featuring their breakthrough single "Hit or Miss", the album was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with shipments of 500,000 units.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=RIAA Search - New Found Glory )〕 During the band's American tour in late 2009, they announced a special edition re-release of the album to celebrate its tenth anniversary. The deluxe package included new liner notes, seven b-sides and a DVD. A commemorative tour also took place with the album played live in its entirety. The album has been credited for its impact and long lasting influence on pop punk music, and was officially inducted into the ''Rock Sound'' Hall of Fame in 2012. It was also placed in the magazine's "101 Modern Classics" article, a feature honoring the best rock albums since 1997. ==Background and recording== Following the underground success of debut album ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'' (1999), Drive-Thru Records founder Richard Reines had paid Eulogy Recordings $5,000 to license the album and sign the band. Drive-Thru had initially wanted to re-release ''Nothing Gold Can Stay'' along with a newly recorded version of breakthrough single "Hit or Miss". Chad Gilbert said of the process, "So we went into the studio with Jerry Finn and recorded it with him. I don't like how it came out, at all. He was ''such'' a cool guy, but we were like, "nah, we don't want to use it". From then on, every band that worked with him expressed that Jerry Finn didn't like our band".〔 The song was never used and the band decided to start work on a second album. The recording was later included as a bonus track on the tenth anniversary edition of the album in 2010. Having met with producer Neal Avron, the two parties discussed the desired sound the band were striving for on the record. Avron said, "During pre-production, we'd get in their van for lunch and they had a poster of Britney Spears up. They wanted the music to be heavy, but the vocals to be super-pop, that was the goal".〔 Steve Klein, the band's rhythm guitarist and lyricist, said of the writing: "A lot of those songs pertained to my early relationships, my first love, that entire time period. I was seventeen years old. Every record that we had is a timetable to my life. My wife can now look back and listen to my diaries as a teenager."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Found Glory (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
