When New Found Glory frontman Jordan Pundik screams, "You'll never get respect" during Catalyst's opener, "Intro," he might as well be talking about his own band. In the course of four albums and a couple of EPs, the Coral Springs, Florida, group has trafficked in simple, catchy pop-punk anthems, anchored by Pundik's earnest high-pitched whine. Apparently the band thought it was time to try something vastly different here. Promising songs such as "This Disaster" and "At Least I Am Known for Something" may be romantic tales at heart, but the double-time drums and chunky riffs push it closer to Eighties thrash metal. Elsewhere, the group careens between hardcore punk, synth-rock and emo-tinged ballads. The band's extra effort shows, giving its pop glory some newfound energy.
