The topic were we talk about one of the better alternative bands out there. They have 4 very solid albums that all sound completely different for their style. My personal favorite album is The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me but I think at this point my favorite song by them is probably "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot".

This band should be talked about here more, so this is me making a thread for them.

Yeah, but what happens when the thread gets old?

You're still a high-schooler, so the amount of times you've heard your drunken room mates and their hoe-bag friends screaming "WELL I SEEN MORE SPINE IN JELLYFISH" at 2 am likely hasn't detracted from your enjoyment yet.

Before then, though, I suppose I was able to appreciate at least some of their music, about as much as I can appreciate any alternative rock nowadays.

Their newer stuff is vastly better, though.

DIE YOUNG AND SAVE YOURSELF

Is the only song I know by them, but I like it a lot.

Devil and God is a fucking amazing album, though it's all I have of theirs.

Was this meant for me? If so are you fucking serious dude? Way to start off an appreciation thread with a troll post.

Oh, and for the record, I'm not a fucking high-schooler, and if you seriously let other people's opinion's/musing's/thought's/etc. effect your opinions on a band than you are no more mature than a high-schooler.

I would probably recommend Daisy to you next, if you were inclined to listen to more of their stuff. It takes the experimentation that they began with Devil and adds a whole new level to it. Pretty amazing stuff.

Deja Entendu is the only album of theirs that I have and I love it.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #11 on:** October 29, 2010, 12:40:27 AM »

Brand New's progression over their 4 studio albums is monumental, so it would make sense to listen to them in order to get the progression of their sound, but really, none of their albums are bad at all so you could start anywhere and still enjoy it a lot.

Yes, I'm serious. No, I'm not trolling. Yes, I thought you really were still in high-school. No, you never said this was an appreciation thread. And yes, I actually agree with you that they're one of the better alternative bands out there as I said in my original post "I appreciate them about as much as I can appreciate alternative rock nowadas.“ And finally no, I'm not immature. You've been posting here awhile. Still haven't learned that people with different opinions than you aren't immature, eh? Fine by me. By the way:

Pop music like this has a certain social setting and context, especially in college. It is a context that I've already mentioned in my original post, and one that annoys me very much. I'm sorry if that offends you.

Regardless of how much this may hurt Quad's feelings, that song annoys the fuck out of me for reasons already stated. Regardless, it doesn't deserve metal horns no matter which way you look at it. But lest I be accused of trolling again, I'll add that BN are a band that's got much better with age, even if I　can't stand their early cookie-cutter emo alt-rock stuff. I much prefer stuff like "Jesus”　and "At the Bottom." BN, regardless of what you might say about them, their fans, and their style, are one of those bands who, thankfully, have been given the time and support to develop and grow by the powers that be.

I can see where PC is coming from. I can't stand to hear anything from American Idiot simply because when it came out it was all I heard 24/7 from my friends and classmates.

There's a difference between having a different opinion on something (which is perfectly fine) and hating on a band because some people you knew over played them.

And again, I would never let someone else's actions/opinions on music effect me in any shape or form whatsoever, but hey if you want to let someone else sway your thoughts on something, then that's fine by me.

I just wanted to bump this thread and say that Brand New is becoming one of my favorite bands. Both Deja Entendu and The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me are masterpieces.

Chino · « **Reply #17 on:** November 13, 2010, 06:21:03 PM »

I don't listen to Brand New that often. But when ever I decide to put them on in the car, I always let the album play through.

I love Brand New. Every album is amazing in it's own right, but my favorite has to be Deja Entendu. It's in my top 5 easily.

MasterShakezula · « **Reply #32 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:52:19 PM »

Really digging the Devil and God. That Quiet Things song is very fun, as well, though I will have to try out the actual album its from.

Anyone (Jigglypuff) have any thoughts regarding Daisy?

zxlkho · « **Reply #33 on:** August 12, 2011, 12:53:50 PM »

I still haven't heard it, but Zack (Quad) says it's good as well.

Quadrochosis · « **Reply #34 on:** August 12, 2011, 01:03:30 PM »

Daisy is really good. It's a little less varied than DaG but it's really dark and heavy.
