'' Entertainment Weekly '' writer Sean Richardson praised the band for adding tracks that range from " string-laden balladry ( ” I Do n’t Wan na Know ” ) to surging hardcore ( ” At Least I ’m Known for Something ” ) " alongside their pop punk repertoire , concluding that " They may have eyes for the Top 40 , but these skater boys still know how to rock . " Johnny Loftus from AllMusic said , " '' Catalyst '' does n't quite graduate New Found Glory from the punk-pop rungs . From its main aesthetic thrust to the pristine mixing and production , this is a slick and durable Drive-Thru missive , micro-tweaked for maximum Warped Tour ROI . Still , the guys in NFG have been at this a while , so a little exploration is not only understandable , it 's expected . To that end , '' Catalyst '' s East Coast hardcore kickoff is welcome . " '' Rolling Stone '' writer Kirk Miller gave note of the '80s trash metal aesthetics that tracks like " This Disaster " and " At Least I Am Known for Something " utilize , as well as other various subgenres ( " hardcore punk , synth-rock and emo-tinged ballads " ) throughout the track listing , concluding that " T he band 's extra effort shows , giving its pop glory some newfound energy . " Robert Christgau graded the album as a " dud " , indicating " a bad record whose details rarely merit further thought . " Writing for the '' Chicago Tribune '' , Blair R. Fischer criticized Jordan Pundik 's vocal performance for getting " more irritating with every song . " The album debuted at a career-high number three on the '' Billboard '' 200 chart , after selling 146,000 copies in its first week . It was later certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) in August 2004 . As of June 2005 , the album has sold over 600,000 copies . The " All Downhill from Here " music video was nominated for Best Breakthrough Video at the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards
