Overview Edit

Nothing Gold Can Stay is the debut studio album by American rock band New Found Glory (then A New Found Glory), released on October 19, 1999 through independent record label Eulogy Recordings. The album contains samplings from several films including That Thing You Do!, Weird Science and The Outsiders throughout the songs (e.g. "Hit or Miss (Waited Too Long)" included the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost).

On the strength of the release, Richard Reines, co-founder of Drive-Thru Records, signed the band, paying Eulogy $5,000 to license the record. The album garnered a cult following and went on to sell in excess of 300,000 copies. Also noted for its influence on contemporary pop punk music, fan favorites from the album such as "2's & 3's" and "3rd and Long" are still regularly included in the band's live set today.

This cd is definitely the best of New Found Glory, and is one of the top cds in my collection.

The lyrics are meaningful and easy to relate to (for a young 15 year old like me), and the lead singers voice is amazing and passionate. The guitar riffs are great and the drumming is insane at times. The new album is okay, maybe 3 and a half stars, but this one takes the…

3 stars This raw New Found Glory is pretty cool
After anxiously putting the CD into my stereo waiting to hear the original version of Hit Or Miss, a fantastic song, Jordan started singing and I wanted to know who kicked him between the legs just before they started recording. Okay, it's not terrible, you do get used to it. There are some spots where the instruments and vocals are poorly balanced, and in one of the songs it almost sounds like Cyrus is drumming on a trash can lid. The guitarists have come such a long way... they've all come a l…
