starting my emo phase late at 26
― flopson, Saturday, 21 October 2017 17:09 (six years ago) link
haha i just listened to YFW -> DE -> 2006 all in succession on a car ride last night and it brought be straight back to high school, screaming out all the lyrics in the car alone. if you like the new album i'd start with devil and god and then work backwards to see how much you can stomach. the old stuff is good for what it is (music for kids) but it's not something i can really imagine listening to all the time anymore
this new album has pretty much cemented brand new as one of my all-time favorite bands tho, or at least made me a little more willing to say that in public lol

i've been thinking about what my brand new POX would be and i'm not ready for the full list yet, but after listening to the old stuff last night (and TDAG a couple of times last week) i think these are probably safe

Kev and Flopson you missed out on the emo poll.

(the rest will be from TDAG and on)
xp spottie i really never dove deep enough into enough back in the day to have a truly informed vote, i was more into rap at that point in my life

Yah I was heavy into both in my early-mid 20s
― Spottie, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:13 (six years ago) link
i listened to 3 emo albums in my life at present, including this one lol
― flopson, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:20 (six years ago) link
i loved atdi in hs but ito rock shit i was p much excluse the 'garage' scene (broadly defined) in my early twenties, no regrets as i had the time of my life playing and going to shows twice a week. the only ppl i knew into emo then were more about the mathy/post-hardcore end of it; i think i wasn't fully aware of how fully good emo bangs as conventional rock music
― flopson, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:37 (six years ago) link
i havent listened to much "emo" music in like a decade, so maybe the scene itself has changed, but if science fiction is seen as an emo album it probably has more to do with the band's historic association with that scene than it does with the actual music
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:37 (six years ago) link
i mean this is just a rock album
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:38 (six years ago) link
it's post-emo
― flopson, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:46 (six years ago) link
chorus of same logic is straight emo imo
― flopson, Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:47 (six years ago) link
yeah there's some touches for sure
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 October 2017 20:51 (six years ago) link
another note from the show - lacey played 'soco amaretto lime' but changed the lyrics from "you're just jealous cause were young and in love" to "i'm just jealous cause you're young and in love"
― Mordy, Saturday, 21 October 2017 23:01 (six years ago) link
the enunciation of the "boy we gave you every opportunity" part is super emo

yeah i noticed this from a youtube recently, i like the change. also on a mostly unrelated note he sings "i am paid to make you boys panic while i sing" in "spin light" these days -- i get the feeling he realizes some of his earlier lyrics were kind of, to use a contemporary term, a little problematic
― k3vin k., Saturday, 21 October 2017 23:43 (six years ago) link
it was just striking to me along w/ the other stuff that it's a much darker more pessimistic gloomy take
― Mordy, Saturday, 21 October 2017 23:45 (six years ago) link
yeah no idea what kind of place jesse is in but he's always been outwardly pretty troubled
― k3vin k., Sunday, 22 October 2017 00:07 (six years ago) link
the old stuff is good for what it is (music for kids) but it's not something i can really imagine listening to all the time anymore
fwiw i understand why you and presumably lacey feel this way but i think deja entendu continues to contain some of their most direct, affecting + memorable work. but i never think that "music for kids" is necessarily a limitation on popular music (i still listen to pet sounds too)
― Mordy, Sunday, 22 October 2017 00:07 (six years ago) link
there were signs all over the venue when you entered that said that there would be no crowd surfing at the show and anyone who crowd surfed would get ejected. when the concert started the band played the first few songs behind a gate/fence that spanned the entire length of the stage like they were in jail. i was thinking "oh my god he is so freaked out about the audience he is playing behind a gate now" but it lifted after the first few songs i felt whew
― Mordy, Sunday, 22 October 2017 00:10 (six years ago) link
sort of feel like if i were a band of brand new's popularity i'd be performing behind something bulletproof

Not there yet but I might have to resign to the fact that come December, this will be true for me as well. Pacing in that direction.

my new favorite part of this album is the solo in “137”

The guitar solo in "137" is the most glorious musical moment of 2017.― ArchCarrier, Friday, October 6, 2017 11:47 AM (four weeks ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

Yeah that whole song is great but I'm always waiting for that bit.
The album is currently my 2nd-favourite of the year behind Paramore.
