Soco Ameretto Lime is fire tho

YFW is so stuck in early 2000s pop punk that it feels charmingly anachronistic rather than dated, whereas Deja clearly has one foot in that game and one foot in what would eventually become TDAG so it feels uncomfortable at times

Album Rating: 4.0

Daisy is so good! Loved it from the beginning. It's also aged the best, agreed



DAISY > SCIFI >> YFW (esp the lesser discussed tracks like "Last Chance") > TDAG > DEJA

Album Rating: 5.0

I think Deja just aged like shit. Still a good record, but has only grown worse over time imo.

Album Rating: 4.0

For me Deja is still good but I don't know how to rate albums I know by heart. Maybe it's shit but I know every single note and lyric of this shit, so it's good I guess?

Album Rating: 4.0

deja is their whiniest album, and not in a really striking dramatic way like Devil and God was (what a fucking crazy maturation they went through in those few years) but in a more emo whining about petty shit like relationships type way. Save for the song about him losing a family member which I forget the name of. Havent listened to the album in a long time but yeah

Album Rating: 4.5

Deja is also kinda the worst one to listen to in light of the allegations against Jesse

Album Rating: 4.0

Deja will always be an album I hold close to my heart, but I agree it did age poorly. Mostly in the lyrical department.

Album Rating: 4.0

Those allegations really fucked up my relationship with this band. There are still days where I jam Brand New for hours (today being one of them), but they're not the band I *wore* once. It sucks.



And then just like two weeks ago this happened again with Vampire Weekend. Idk if Sput has really recognized this, but Ezra Koenig was all but named as an abuser/possible rapist of Tavi Gevinson, and besides the VW subreddit going ballistic it seems like that'll be one of those things that passes for a decade or so

woooooo looks like everyone is in agreement!

If I wasn’t able to separate art from the artist, there’d be a TON of music and movies that I could not longer associate with. One of those things you gotta begrudgingly accept, I guess. Most artists are monsters. Probably more than we know.

Album Rating: 4.0

shitty people make the best art, sadly

Album Rating: 4.5

I still love these albums, but I can't say I still listen to them as much now.

Not because the music isn't good, but there are times I think of the allegations and I'd rather think about something else.



I'm a film major and had to wrap my mind around the separation of art and the artist, but it still bothers me at times. I've also had family in my life that have done worse than this that have been forgiven. It's a grey area for me, instead of a pure yes or no.

Album Rating: 4.5

There's nothing wrong with not being able to separate art from artist, there's nothing wrong with separating them.



Just don't go around attacking people for doing either/or.



I see it all the time from people. Either you're a woke, cancel culture, SJW for not liking Brand New post-allegations; or you're a rape apologist, scumbag, potential incel for still listening to them.



I just don't understand why we can't just leave each other alone.

“Save for the song about him losing a family member which I forget the name of.”

Guernica, also coincidentally totally the best song on the album

Album Rating: 2.5

tbh i can only associate them with allegations because i barely knew their work before i heard about what jesse did

Album Rating: 4.5

"I just don't understand why we can't just leave each other alone."



Sounds like something a woke, scumbag, cancel culture, rape apologist would say!
