@Asleep, i thought the point that this was a mechanical record was made pretty clear and the transition from Luca to talking about handcuffs implies theyre cheesy for similar reasons. I mean, you dont always have to go in depth about everything.

the review's cool but i think it hugely overplays the whole corporate cash grab angle. like you can call the album immature and melodramatic and i get that criticism despite disagreeing with it but to say it was all done insincerely in the name of big business is tinfoil levels of overly cynical to me

exactly, absolutely pointless to bring the point up anyways.

@Cl0ver: fair point, you needn't go into depth in everything. I suppose because the guy is going against the grain and saying the album sucks I expected a more solid and thorough argument.
I completely agree with DirEnRefused, making the point better than I could

I think because emo is the ultimate 'keeping it real for the kids and their feels' genre the corporate angle is always going to come up.
Just as if a charity is on the take - seems extra duplicitous, targeted and cynical

He's either genuinely channeling his teenage self because he still feels in touch with that time
Or he's a phoney ass manipulative man-boy mof"cker
Personally I still can't decide

There's nothing wrong with making music that's directed towards a particular audience. If Brand New made this album with a teenage audience in mind, then all the power to them. There are tons of bands that do that, and Brand New happen to do it exceptionally well.
If it doesn't speak to you, that's one thing. But you're not making a valid or relevant criticism.

Plus, have you even listened to a song like Limousine?? That song is certainly not geared towards teens lyrically.

I thought the genre was all about 'realness'?

I happen to think Jesse is legit just a bit of an over emotional guy and he writes from the heart. When I took the missus to go see them last year he randomly said he wanted to play a song he wrote for his wife and he just stood there on his own with his guitar and played this long boring song that nobody had ever heard but you could tell he really meant it and that was the most important part of the night for him.

then it's quite likely the man's for real and I just don't like the genre and all the melodrama

I consider this album far removed from the melodramatic dribble that made up the 2000s third wave emo movement. Now their SECOND album on the other hand...

Even though it might not be their least mature album, I'd say it's hard to argue this album is extremeeeeeely melodramatic, but I mean that in an entirely positive way.
