what's the very best Brand New album for someone who likes melody + guitars
― alpine static, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:03 (six years ago) link
all of them? deja entendu maybe?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 17:04 (six years ago) link
that or _tdagarim_, i sense the majority here would recommend the latter first
― rip van wanko, Tuesday, 15 August 2017 18:47 (six years ago) link
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 (six years ago) link

"can't get it out" is like they wrote another "1996" just for me
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Thursday, 17 August 2017 21:55 (six years ago) link
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 (six years ago) link
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 (six years ago) link
agreed re: eeriest album, which, daisy was already extremely eerie

When I was in university taking a shuttle bus between campuses, I randomly overheard a girl (roughly my age at the time so I'd say 18-20) talking about how she'd had sex with someone from GD after a show. That's pretty second-hand, obviously, but it's always stayed with me.
― Simon H., Tuesday, 14 November 2017 18:30 (six years ago) link
Have other band members responded yet?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 21:14 (six years ago) link
Not that I've seen.
I finally brought myself to read the Pitchfork piece and jfc

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 (five years ago) link
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.
