Brand New

Recommended Posts

I picked it up last year when it was $5.99 at Best Buy. It's brilliant. It has to be one of the best rock albums I've heard in years. I can especially relate to a lot of the lyrics. They're now one of my favorite bands in my favorite genre of music.

I think it's awesome. I bought their first album in June and thought it was great, but the "Deja Entendu" is even better. "Gloria Sic Transit" is quite wonderful and the rest is also fantastic. If it wasn't for the existance of Jonah Matranga, Brand New would be my favourite emo stars.

"I can't really distinguish these guys from Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Matchbook Romance, and a miriad of other bands that sound exactly the same."

 

At first glance (or listen) it's easy to try to group bands together like that, but if you listen to the whole album I doubt you'll feel the same way. Listen to songs like 'The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot' or 'Tommy Gun' and I think it will be hard to make Taking Back Sunday/Thursday comparisons.
