you are right but at least it's a single clearly composed photograph with an engagingly decentralised focus
contents of both are dumb, but this isn't an eyesore

handshakes / fingers touching etc are obviously superior having featured on many classics that i haven't listened to or enjoyed, but still the point stands even though i don't agree with it

I think as far as this style of music goes, this type of music, this album is pretty much one of the best of all time.

The best of all time for This Kind Of Music are probs Reconstruction Site, Nux Vomica and maybe Meadowlands
this is a greasy understudy that ripped off the insecureternet by writing up lazy death stories and angst parables with big words (agree fogza yay) but it does kinda go hmm

Did Johnny just compare Brand New to The Weakerthans? lmao, not sure if being purposely cryptic or if your capacity for aural differentiation is legitimately that poor. My guy. Please.

we are talking about the big bad field of melodramatic 00s nostalgia alt and you will need to stop squinting at your darkroom to see that for its true glorious generality
BN and the Weakerthans are maybe the least similar artists there, but the topic was raised (for the love of God plz start reading previous thread pages to support your kneejerks) and if you can't reach out to the obvious primarily instrumental commonalities that they do have in their songwriting then I guess that makes you a coward scared that all maudlin rock bands actually totally sound the same enjoy your day

1077 pages bro and you think I'm gonna bother reading anything beyond the latest one? I go back one page to study up on my bulletproof JohnnyoftheDeli rebuttals and lo' and behold, that page contains a bunch of terse out of context comments that will require me to go back another page or two to understand *those* references, meanwhile several tangents between other more interesting users have developed with their own sets of non sequitur and before you know it i'm back to page 876, reruns of diners drive-ins and dives is still churning on in the background, it's nearly 2 a.m. and would you look at that, the entire bag of flaming hot cheetos is gone.

there was literally one no-context comment in question on the last page, and if all that healthy stimulation ain't helping you sniff it out, maybe you should call it a day and give it your best tomorrow. promise it's not going anywhere xx

obviously brand new and weakerthans share 99.8% of their DNA, how does this require context

If you’re referring to the “this is the best album for this kind of music” comment which i already knew you were responding to with your Weakerthans comparison. i think you missed the gist of my original interjection - not an objection to you yet again pulling baseless comparisons from thin air but a refusal to accept that anyone could draw a similarity between this album and RECONSTRUCTION SITE which is far more in the vein of built to spill brand indie rock (albeit with a spicy folk/country twang!). like if your criteria was simply “mid-aughts albums that could vaguely be classified as emo” then…okay. checkmate i guess? for what it’s worth the modest mouse comparison was far, far more accurate.
