Its not the most horrendous review I've ever read but it's certainly not brilliant either, not worth a neg though.

There is nothing to say about this album that hasn't already been said.


^this, is essentially the problem with the review.

Jesus, lay off the guy, it's not a bad review at all. Unneeded perhaps, but decently written. Everyone needs practice.

Brand New takes on something that on Daisy got stretched to a breaking point: Religion.

Okay time to get serious guys



i hope u read this jackwatever (probably not but oh well)



Reviewer: it's probably been pointed out, but to start a review with "There is nothing to say about this album that hasn't already been said." is kind of weird; you're essentially admitting that your review is useless. However, I do see your point, i.e. that so much has been written about the emotional and musical power of this album. However, you should try rewording how to say that, something like "So much has been said about [insert album]; what else is there left to say?" and then continue one with what those who have written about it agree upon, and what you have to add.



"The centrepoint between Deja Entendu's teenage storytelling and Daisy's religious name-dropping in every song."

either combine this with the sentence before it or you should probably add 'It is' at the beginning of the sentence; it reads better. This also reads awkwardly even with that (e.g. the word 'centrepoint', i think you should use something different, like 'basis'?). It also reads as a strange diss towards Daisy; not sure if you wanted that.



"In this album, Brand new channel"

you forgot to capitalize 'new' :P



""Sowing Season (Yeah)" is basically announcing to the people who dismissed Deja Entendu as teenage crap that Brand New is a constantly evolving band."

you set yourself up for a point, but don't expand on it; why or how does it do this?



"On "Archers" Brand New even gets a little political,"

i think you should have a comma after the song name "Archers", and I think it's "Brand New get" instead of "gets", but i might need some confirmation on that



"but it isn't Green Day-esque random rebellion, it's material like "The God I believe in never worked on a campaign trail"."

the diss towards Green Day seems a little unwarranted, and you don't really back it up. You also dont really show WHY that lyrical quote is important. You should back it up; what it means, how it's significant, smart, why you used it to prove this point; whatever.



"Brand New go through the emotions on Devil and God."

go through "THE" emotions? how about 'many' emotions; that would fit better imo.

"The slow lead-up to utter chaos and explosion on "Luca" is a perfect example contrary to the constant energetic "Not the Sun"."

this sentence does a weird switch imo. You should talk about how "Luca" has an emotional breakdown/explosion, and then in the next sentence say how "Not The Sun" is more upbeat and stuff. As it is now, it reads awkwardly.



"I can safely say that outside "Quiet Thing"'s bridge"

outside of*, imo. I also think you might want to explain WHY the bridges are great, and maybe just put ""Quiet Things" (from Deja Entendu)" or something for people who are not familiar with their work.



"the guitar is clear when it's not distorted"

well, isnt that how it should be? maybe expand on this, that the guitar sound is clean and free of flaws which makes the instrumentals more powerful or something?



" Not to mention that the material on the album is jawdropping, and it would be very hard to screw that up. "

i dont even know what this sentence means, haha



"Check out this album? "

you should probably make it somethin like "Should you check out this album?"



"and it's a privelage to hear this super-talented band at their creative peak."

privilege*





bye
