Make The Most Of It is the 12th studio album by the American rock band New Found Glory, released on January 20th, 2023; their only album through Revelation Records. The album was announced on November 10th, 2022, with the lead single, "Dream Born Again", released that same day.[1][2] The album includes 7 new original tracks, and 7 live re-recordings of fan favorites, all performed acoustically.[1][3]
Background
Make The Most Of It came in the wake of guitarist Chad Gilbert's cancer diagnosis in 2021, where he was found unresponsive in bed, and doctors subsequently found a sizeable tumor due to pheochromocytoma.[1][4][2][3][5]
A percentage of proceeds from the album went towards The Pheo Para Alliance, an organization advocating the awareness of pheochromocytoma.[3][2]
