who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Tuesday, 31 January 2017 00:02 (nine years ago)

no one is allowed to bump this thread again until there is news of at least one of those things happening

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:53 (eight years ago)

holy shit i hope this means a TOUR

Mordy, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 16:54 (eight years ago)

what's the very best Brand New album for someone who likes melody + guitars

alpine static, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:03 (eight years ago)

all of them? deja entendu maybe?

Mordy, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:04 (eight years ago)

that or _tdagarim_, i sense the majority here would recommend the latter first

rip van wanko, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 18:47 (eight years ago)

either of the middle two are what you want. i'd maybe recommend deja over devil bc of your emphasis on "melody"

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Tuesday, 15 August 2017 19:34 (eight years ago)

as far as i can tell

1. this album is called science fiction
2. it's out there

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 20:14 (eight years ago)

i'm guessing the last song is called "batter up" anyway that's my fav

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 20:17 (eight years ago)

what a weird record

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 20:17 (eight years ago)

it's the epic closer Devil and God deserved

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 20:18 (eight years ago)

thank you for connecting "in the water" to talk talk

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:17 (eight years ago)

album generally has catherine wheel adam & eve vibes i think

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:21 (eight years ago)

"can't get it out" is like they wrote another "1996" just for me

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:55 (eight years ago)

yeah this is def their eeriest album, funny how the one-off singles ("mene" and "I am a nightmare") sound like headfakes now

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 22:49 (eight years ago)

I appreciate how idiosyncratic the sequencing is, bookended by two extended drifters with lots of little peaks and valleys in between

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 22:52 (eight years ago)

agreed re: eeriest album, which, daisy was already extremely eerie

ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:19 (eight years ago)

I can't begin to think what the single will be, if there is one? I guess "can't get it out" is most obvious but I'd go with an edit of "in the water"

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:25 (eight years ago)

also I can't help but think that Devil's Tower would have been a cooler and more fitting name for this record

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 17 August 2017 23:28 (eight years ago)

Not that I've seen.

I finally brought myself to read the Pitchfork piece and jfc

six months pass...

If anyone ever wants to write a piece about #MeToo and artist fandom, which someone probably should, they'd do well to start with the wildly divergent (and still-unraveling) reactions on the Brand New subreddit.

Simon H., Friday, 18 May 2018 01:58 (eight years ago)

two weeks pass...

can't bring myself to read that tbh. used to be a part of the brand new online fan community as a teenager and those people are nuts

sort of hate myself for loving this record as much as I do. but maybe that's what brand new's music is about, and why it speaks to me so much -- so much of it deals in guilt, self-loathing...it feels very earned.

k3vin k., Thursday, 7 June 2018 00:48 (eight years ago)

four months pass...

October 2018? hell yeah
