That is a brilliant article title
Digging: Dave Matthews Band - Under The Table And Dreaming |

sucks
|
| |
Just when Sputnik is getting over Radiohead...
|
| |
Oh My God
|
| |
I rate this...2.2/5
|
| |
This fucking sucks
|
| |
yeah is this even the same band?
|
| |
Swoon. Song is amazing!!!!
It's like The Bravery, White Lies, Editors and all them other bands from 2006 have got together to make the best thing ever!!!!!!!
Brand New know my soul, they're the bestest.
|
| |
reminds me of Interpol
Digging: Nothing - The Great Dismal |
| |
Not bad. Sounds like it could fit between Deja and YFW
|
| |
Song feels overly familiar... I feel like I've heard these exact melodies and intonations somewhere else
|
| |
just make a new album assholes
|
| |
it's not bad but they've done way better than this, kinda disappointing
|
| |
jesse needs to get all sad again
|
| |
or band is dead
|
| |
Not a bad pop song
|
| |
This is the best stuff I've heard this year other than the new Weezer. Do they have the same songwriting team?
|
| |
ew, what is this, 2001?
|
| |
it's like this band were always marketed to kids...but now the original kids have grown up...and the band are still marketing to kids
inevitably it ends in tears for those original kids
|
| |
this is total trash, worse than mene probably haha i'm going to an hero
|
| |
Very Interpolesque! I dig although I hope to hear sadder songs than this one in the album
|
| |
dammit someone beat me to the joke
just see how it fits in the album. it may just be the not the sun of the new album
Digging: ERRA - Augment |
| |
Quite simple in its structure and I also think this is very Interpol-esque.
Still like it, the guitar riff is nice.
|
| |
I only know the first two Interpol albums - did they get this bad?
|
| |
album will be disappointing as hell
|
| |
No, it'll be what the band has always been.
|
| |
nah
|
| |
waitwut
|
| |
Even the opening line on the article gets on me tits. 'Post hardcore' like its trying to make it all 'grown up'
|
| |
Just release the fucking album already.
|
| |
This really isn't that bad. All these comments had me worried.
|
| |
Brand New has been my favorite band for 10 years and I'll take any scrap of music I can get but I can't lie, I hate this and it's bad
Digging: Seiko Oomori - Kintsugi |
| |
i like it but it's so safe it hurts
|
| |
7 years for this shit wow
|
| |
needs more energy
where is the energy
where is the memorability
|
| |
All the Sputcore bands dropping new music this year tf
|
| |
I don't like it as much as anything off of Daisy or TDAG, but I didn't think it was as bad as you guys are making it out to be.
|
| |
I came before I pressed play.
|
| |
This is unbelievably horrible
|
| |
Couldn't be more different from their usual sound. Even the lyrics are entirely different. It's not bad but it's not all that remarkable, either. It sounds like post-punk revival meets power pop.
|
| |
I get that they wanted to go in a different direction from TDAG/Daisy, but I didn't expect that direction to be a return to shitty pop punk influences
|
| |
Not getting a huge pop punk feeling here. This sounds like it could have been released in 1996 I dig it. But I'm also an emotional lil beotch right now.
|
| |
I don't know why, but I get a Smiths vibe from this at times
|
| |
Yeah, not too sure on this direction for the band. Maybe it'll grow on me, but I'm not feeling it as much as I had hoped.
|
| |
i thought this song kind of sucked.
|
| |
Nothing about this is at all remarkable. Sounds like they're playing on autopilot.
|
| |
didn't find anything to enjoy on this
|
| |
A little surprised at the Luke warm reception. Sputnik, you're full of surprises.
|
| |
Solid track but much worse than Mene.
|
| |
luke warm =(
|
| |
It sounds like Weezer and Interpol fucked and their baby made an album and then it threw away a song it didn't like and it was this song.
|
| |
"Sputcore"
|
| |
Fucking Terrible. What a step backwards.
|
| |
I want to like this, but I just can't.
|
| |
Okay, I have no idea how this album is gonna sound if both this and Mene are on it
|
| |
It's the vocals. They don't have the edge that makes them memorable.
|
| |
To me it sounds like they want to have some fun during the last days as a band. Same feeling when i heard thrice anthology a year before they announced the hiatus. I think it'll stick when they bow out.
|
| |
u know when there's that small scale orgcore punk/emo revival band coming through town and you've heard one of their albums once or twice and you think it's alright but your friend is waaaayy way too fucking into it and is really hyped up about going to their show so you're like alright why not it might be a good time and there's 5 opening bands that all play for way too fucking long and you wonder if they're even aware there are ways to play music other than in 4/4 and the venue is small as fuck and has awful ventilation and your ears are ringing by the end and you begin to realize your hearing is going to be gone by the age of 40 because of awful opening punk bands that listen to alkaline trio too much
this song is like if you took the essence of that experience and all those bands and just like compressed it all down into three minutes
|
| |
band shouldve just called it a day at Daisy.
|
| |
ie it's bad
|
| |
Mene was pretty good I thought. Surprised people here didn't like it.
|
| |
This song leans towards the twinkly type of emo that I can't handle
|
| |
Between this and what I heard last year, I'm betting whatever new album they release will be their most accessible one yet. This stuff is even poppier than Deja. Not sure if that's a good thing or not, but I'd never count these guys out until I hear the full album.
Digging: Slaughter Beach, Dog - At The Moonbase |
| |
im betting it will be their lamest one yet
|
| |
Deja and YFW have grown off me hard in recent years. Obviously this new one won't top TDAG or Daisy, but it could easily beat those first two for me.
Probably the only one with that opinion, but whatev
|
| |
I doubt it will be lame. They've made albums that aren't as good as others of theirs, but even their worst (YFW) is still fun and sentimental.
|
| |
i mean, the thing is that YFW is actually a good album even if it doesnt match up to anything else they made, but this song doesnt even sound like its on the same level of their circa 2000 demos for YFW because its major weak sauce. Mene itself was alright, but alright in the "this song is the forgettable intro track of a moderately popular indie band's alt rock album" and not in the "oh cool its a brand new song" way. i have absolutely 0 hopes for this album after both of these tracks.
|
| |
Mene is a great tune. This is a nice little track too, but after Daisy and Mene I feel like the nature of this track caught some people off guard (myself included). A lot of people wanted/expected the indie skramz from Brand New but got Morrissey/pop punk (??can that be a thing??). Is this on the next album? is Mene? There isn't an album I want to hear more than a new Brand New
|
| |
I get that because I'm not blown away in the slightest. I also know that I thought Daisy was about a 3.5 first listen and now it's almost on the same level as TDAG. I've learned never to draw quick opinions with these guys.
But yeah, first impressions are definitely underwhelming =(
|
| |
i dont know, it just feels like a B side to an unreleased album that wouldve bridged YFW and Deja. Just super plain even when ignoring the major hype a post-daisy Brand New had.
|
| |
yeah...maybe this isn't album material and is just stuff they're putting out there? seems doubtful but I'm hoping that this isn't like the lead single or whatever they feel best represents their new body of work
|
| |
I absolutely loved this and i'm not even a huge Brand New fan.
|
| |
people were saying the same things about Weezer's Do You Wanna Get High? and Thank God for Girls and Radiohead's Burn the Witch. i wouldnt be surprised if both of these ended up on their new album whenever that happens.
|
| |
Have to agree with Clover here, Mene was pretty good and this was decent but very forgettable. No idea how the new album will turn out, but it might be their weakest since the debut judging from these two songs.
Digging: Sweet Trip - Walkers Beware! We Drive Into the Sun / Stab /Slow |
| |
Whitenoise that's probably why.
as a stand alone track, this is a real good, but a huge disappointment to fans of this band because it's a regression.
|
| |
Mene definitely grew on me, but this one feels too...simple and poppy. Opening guitar lick is nice
|

official press release:
"New York, NY – May 17, 2016 – Brand New have announced the release of new single “I Am A Nightmare,” their first new music in more than a year. The song—produced by Brand New and longtime collaborator Mike Sapone, mixed by Vince Ratti, and taken from the band’s upcoming release—will be available via all Digital Service Providers this week and can be pre-ordered now on vinyl. “I Am A Nightmare” comes in advance of Brand New’s upcoming Canadian headlining tour and American co-headlining tour with Modest Mouse. The song’s digital release coincides with a special 12” vinyl single featuring artwork from Morning Breath. The vinyl single is available now via the Procrastinate! Music Traitors web store and will be available during the Brand New-Modest Mouse summer tour at the traveling P!MT record store."

"people were saying the same things about Weezer's Do You Wanna Get High? and Thank God for Girls and Radiohead's Burn the Witch. i wouldnt be surprised if both of these ended up on their new album whenever that happens."
they probably will
I mean people tend to conjure up grand expectations when bands don't release something for 5+ years, and the assumption is always that they've been slaving away and had all the time in the world
the reality could just be that they've been busy then had writer's block and this is as good as they're doing right now
|
| |
"upcoming album"
don't even care of the songs thus far have been disappointing, I still creamed my pants
|
| |
fuck if tool pulls some shit like this as their next albums lead single, i dont think i could take it
|
| |
Also no one's mentioning that "Sealed to Me" song they've been playing live
|
| |
This is a fun, catchy, shallow little ditty. It's serviceable enough, but as of the last two songs on Daisy, they were capable of so much more
|
| |
Sealed to Me is definitely my favorite of the new songs they've revealed.
|
| |
yeah sealed to me is alright
still nothing to get me super hyped though
|
| |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhF1Xfg-9wM
to be honest i really wouldnt mind if they went towards a sound like this, but eh, cant have everything i suppose
|
| |
You know they have writers block bad when they're releasing YFW demos and calling it new material.
|
| |
The last two songs of Daisy slay, don't say these thingss
|
| |
I hope Sealed to Me is on the album
|
| |
That song was pretty good
|
| |
Actually quite enjoyed it.
|
| |
clearly not or people wouldn't be bitching about it
|
| |
new album confirmed to gonna have times new roman font on the cover
|
| |
arcade proving he has never listened to a single brand new song in his life tbh
|
| |
also that Sealed To me track is pretty amazing hope that will be on the new release
|
| |
Wow this is beyond generic. Might as well be a new Arctic Monkeys song.

"The last two songs of Daisy slay, don't say these thingss"
Maybe I worded my comment badly, but I meant that those two songs blow this out of the water - in fact they're far above the rest of Daisy imo, hence why I singled them out
|
| |
I mean it's not particularly great or memorable but it's not anywhere near the atrocity you all are suggesting. Certainly a disappointment, though.
|
| |
There is absolutely nothing interesting about this song.
|
| |
T'was poo. Shame.
|
| |
Was gonna skip this but then saw the "reminds me of Interpol" comment and HAD to listen.
And wow it actually does sound like newer Interpol. I kinda like it.
Digging: EVERGLOW - -77.82X-78.29 |

Yeah I'd say the negative talk is a little inflated. It's a total regression for brand new, but taken out of context a pretty catchy tune. Nothing special, but nothing horrible either.

Really good fun - love it

Beginning to think TDAG was a fluke
|
| |
Feeling a light to decent 7 on this.
|
| |
what is so bad about this song? sure its a weaker track in brand news catalogue, but its still at least okay. its not horrible. id definitely take it over the weaker stuff from other bands i like, and even the stronger stuff from bands i dislike. i know that its a regression, but come on. this song isn't the atrocity that everyone says it is. thread is dumb.
|
| |
People are idiots. Brand New is one of the few bands that send Sput into a frenzy
|
| |
It's not awful it just fails to live up to the massive amount of hype for any new material from them.
|
| |
when they make a really good album it gets circlejerked and becomes one of the highest rated albums on the website (which is coming from a huge fan of their three most recent albums). yet when they make a song thats only ok: "TDAG WAS A FLUKE! SHOULDVE CALLED IT QUITS AT DAISY! GONNA BE THE LAMEST ONE YET!" at least wait till the album's out to slam it.
|
| |
The hype that people have set for themselves, that's their problem not BN. The song is enjoyable, yeah it lacks the Jesse freaking out but there's already 2 albums of that
|
| |
ye and its pretty much just here too. its not that brand new gets no attention on other sites. its just theyre out of control here for some reason. so what if a song is sub par to their most recent three albums. in the eyes of the people that are complaining, most music is! i can think of a ton of recent singles that came out from bands I like (chevelle, billy talent, thrice) that i find less enjoyable than this. jesus christ
|
| |
It makes sense that they're so popular on here, two of the older staff members GUSHED about this album and one of them is literally named SowingSeason. Hell, Sowing's username is the reason I checked TDAG out.
|
| |
It's bc sput is a site for music nerds with bad self esteem and BN speak to that by putting poor self esteem wrapped up with excellent songwriting and they can be like "they are music for music fans" or some bs.
I love BN but god I love how quick their fans here turn as soon as a song that isn't You Wont Know is dropped, nice support clownbois
|
| |
They were popular on here long before SowingSeason was staff. I knew this site as a place where Thrice/Brand New/Glassjaw/Mewithout You type bands were revered above all other non-metal musicians even when I first joined.
|
| |
They didn't carry me through high school. I enjoyed 'Deja Entendu' more than any of their albums, and to this day I haven't listened to TDAGARIM all the way through in one sitting. But I enjoy this band a lot, and this song ain't bad.
|
| |
Kind of déjà like
|
| |
The Smiths are Jesse's favorite band and this definitely has a Smiths vibe to me.
|
| |
pretty big step back for an otherwise progressive band...kinda disappointed
|
| |
lol that was fucking disappointing, did this band suddenly forget how to write music?
|
| |
they just wanna produce da hitz like Morrissey
|
| |
'Thrice/Brand New/Glassjaw/MewithoutYou type bands'
I never understood how mwy is any like those bands.
|
| |
Sounds similar to Not the Sun. Not seeing the big deal. It's not the best, but it's not terrible.
Would you be my babe?
Maybe Jesse just needed some edgier vocals in here!
|
| |
i hear no morrissey on this
|
| |
i hear some johnny marr tho
|
| |
Sounds a LOT like Kevin Devine's Bubblegum, which Jesse produced.
|
| |
song is called I Am A Nightmare but it sounds like he's saying, "I am the nightman" which I believe is a direct thievery from Always Sunny
|
| |
song is actually fun. it's like a mix of your favorite weapon and deja.
Digging: Biosphere - Dropsonde [Reissue] |
| |
lol @ people calling this pop punk. it's definitely not as bad as you guys are making it out to be, in fact it's a helluva lot more interesting than mene
|
| |
It's not pop punk, it's post-punk revival like Arctic Monkeys and Strokes etc.
|
| |
pretty obvious why this is being called pop punk
who cares about getting bogged down in genre tags though, this is just poppy fun.
|
| |
yeah i'd say it's more post-punk, I mean the band did release a full length pop punk album and this song sounds like none of those. (Also it's not any worse than that album)
|
| |
actually this is way poppier than pretty much anything on deja, so if anything this is more pop punk-ish
|
| |
I love dis
|
| |
it's pretty good. not their best. hoping the whole album doesn't sound like this though
|
| |
i was actually referring to YFW, as I'd say Deja is more emo. Not that it matters at the end of the day though.
|
| |
pretty decent song but i also never liked this band ever so there's that
|
| |
I think Daisy was probably about as far as Brand New could have pushed their previous sound, so it makes some sense they would return back to their roots.
Besides, Jesse is certainly the type of person who would create a "fuck it" album.
I'll go with it.
This band defined my adolescence, it's not like them releasing the worst album of all time would even dent my high opinion of them.
And hey, at least the refrain is catchy, so it can't be the worst album of all time. That's got to be good news.
|
| |
I can't even call the refrain catchy. That's how sad it is.
|
| |
7 years for this shit wow [2]
|
| |
It's pretty good. Nothing amazing, but it's fun and catchy. Hyped for a new album regardless.
|
| |
I am so disappointed. I hate this. It is a suckfest.
|
| |
I dig it and I expect literally nothing from this band at this point so I can't really say I'm disappointed
|
| |
song was pretty poop
|
| |
I think I actually prefer this to Mene.
|
| |
song is kinda just...there
Not offensively bad in any way but I feel no desire to return to it
|
| |
I honestly hated Mene and thought it was really obnoxious
I can dig this tho, even though 'mediocre interpol track' is a really good description
|
| |
is this the new Foo Fighters track?
|
| |
I don't like songs like this that are 75% chorus. Brand new get your shit together
|
| |
Mene was great, this is boring as shit.
Digging: Bright Eyes - Down in the Weeds, Where the World Once Was |
| |
Mene was good, this is good, but I set Brand New to a much higher standard than just good. Still excited for a full album.
|
| |
clearly they're so depressed their sound is turning the other direction
|
| |
Mene was fucking boring. this is better but not by much. Sealed to Me is better than both by far.
|
| |
"post-hardcore band" - can't believe this article was chosen over mine lol
|
| |
just think of it this way
if a different band made it, would you still dislike it? or would you dig?
|
| |
id probably like it less, or rather id care less about it. its not bad, just really average and generic sounding.
|
| |
Brand new in a nutshell then
|
| |
bore
|
| |
This song would be garbage no matter what band made it.
|
| |
I'm getting the impression zak doesn't like brand new or something
song is bad
Digging: Black Country, New Road - For the first time |
| |
I feel the tide is turning - time for a sput-wide critical reevaluation of their back catalogue...TDAG drops to a 3.2 average
|
| |
tdag's the reason people think this is an atrocity tho...
|
| |
song is good, quite your crying, your band is not dead
|
| |
oh, i wasnt aware that it was good. whew! that was a close one. hear that everyone? no more worrying about the new album, the song is good!
|
| |
Can't believe people are saying this isn't catchy...that's like the one thing it is. I woke up with it playing through my head and I don't even think it's that great.
|
| |
it's catchy for sure, but it feels kinda bland too
|
| |
Yeah that seems to be the consensus
This song is still like a 3-3.5 range though
It's bad for BN but not flat out bad
|
| |
A solid 3.5 for me
I'm honestly surprised people here aren't digging this more.
|
| |
I think this was up their with Explosions in the Sky's Tangle Formations as one of the worst songs I've heard this year.
|
| |
People are mad overreacting though
This might not be close to BN quality but it's nowhere close to the worst song of the year
This is catchy albeit basic alt/pop-punk and there's really nothing more or less to it
|
| |
mene was great and this is quite unexpected to say the least. but maybe it's not a bad thing, stoked for the album
|
| |
I don't think it's cathy. I think the melodies are awkward and the vocals fall flat.
|
| |
I thought it was the album damn it.
|
| |
"This is catchy albeit basic alt/pop-punk and there's really nothing more or less to it"
which is a bit surprising to people who were expecting something between Daisy and TDAG. I don't mind it, but then again, if the first TDAG song I heard was Archers, I'd have very different expectations for that album.
|
| |
I was hoping Mene would be an exception, but this points in the same direction. Don't get me wrong, it's a good song but something has sneaked into their sound. Some garage rock? Idk, what is that I hear
|
| |
Sputs acting mad hostile towards these BN tracks. Don't get me wrong, it ain't their best, but damn..
Surprised nobody's mentioned Sealed to Me yet. That song blew both this and Mene out of the water, and when Jesse played it in Cooperstown last August I saw grown men weep.
|
| |
Also, agreed with bakker about something sneaking into their sound.
|
| |
Certainly - my argument is not that people should expect this and be totally fine with it, but rather that those who are saying this is awful/worst song of the year/etc are letting their initial disappointment get the best of them. I remember being a little underwhelmed by At The Bottom and thought it pointed to an album of BN just imitating Modest Mouse but I was (at least sort of) wrong, and it took me a year or two to appreciate Deja as more than just a good emo-pop/alt rock album. Believe it or not YFW was among the most immediately likeable for me, but over time it's held up the least. I guess all I'm saying is that I'm reserving judgment until I hear the full record. This might be much better in the context of the album.
|
| |
im most excited for the album art tbh. this single cover is promising.
def gonna have times new roman font on the cover. some things never change
|
| |
'Surprised nobody's mentioned Sealed to Me yet. That song blew both this and Mene out of the water, and when Jesse played it in Cooperstown last August I saw grown men weep'
Several of us have mentioned it
|
| |
Jesse sounds bored
|
| |
"Believe it or not YFW was among the most immediately likeable for me, but over time it's held up the least."
Why wouldn't we believe it?, that makes absolute sense I'd say.
|
| |
trying not to be disappointed... but i am a bit
definitely their weakest single yet from their new material
|
| |
hmmm. ehh.....
|
| |
Pretty average.

|
| |
Pretty safe track, but nice nonetheless.
|
| |
I had no idea Brand New is post-hardcore too.
Lol @ the title.
As for the single... yesterday after one listening I thought that it's horrible, even more underwhelming than Mene (what does the title mean, btw?). Today I listened to it like 15 times, got bored of it quickly, but it's okay. Sort of like a Daisy take on a YFW/Deja single? I don't know, man. It's not as good as anything on TDAGARIM and half of Daisy songs.
It's better than Be Gone, though :D
|
| |
"Sputcore 2016 continues!!! 😃😂😃"
We need a Converge album.
|
| |
Also changed the genre for those who actually care about that sort of stuff. Title stays, though.
|
| |
This song is boss pop rock. So far they seem to be going in the direction of the Fightoffyoutdemons demos, which is the perfect idea. I remember "Until I Wake" from those demos giving a similar vibe to this, and I dig their pop rock songs like that. I guess it'll take a slow burning intense song before Sputnik gets impressed though.
|
| |
Are any of these songs going to be on the new album?
|
| |
"what is so bad about this song? sure its a weaker track in brand news catalogue, but its still at least okay. its not horrible. id definitely take it over the weaker stuff from other bands i like, and even the stronger stuff from bands i dislike. i know that its a regression, but come on. this song isn't the atrocity that everyone says it is. thread is dumb."
This. To me it's as good as the better tracks on YFW. The opening riff could be more inventive, but the melodies are actually solid.
|
| |
The last thing we need is a new Converge album with all the glitches the site's been having lately...

I think the majority of BN fans prefer the YFW/Deja era so that's probably why the video has so many likes.

make that 11

I don't really dig Interpol. It's like listening to Joy Divison and the Strokes at the same time.

i like interpol but i see what you mean. i def prefer joy division and the strokes, but interpols a nice listen from time to time

That's all well and good, but do any of you agree this song sounds a little interpol-esque? especially the vocals, I can't be the only one hearing this

If I like I Am A Nightmare less than TDAGARIM and Daisy, but more than YFW, should I start listening to Interpol and if yes, where do I start?
|
| |
Bar Deja Entendu (which was awesome) I could never dig these guys.
This song is no exception, really mediocre.
|
| |
Admittedly, the song has grown on me because of the lyrics in the verses. The chorus is pretty lame and so is that weak vanilla lead.

How quick we all are to hate.
This is a great pop song, a sugar coated piece with
Pretty heavy lyrical content. Which is what makes pop
Music matter in this day and age.
Shame on haters. So quick are we to abandon artists who have enriched
Our lives. This is a great, fun song, with obvious undertones that cut deep, which is
What brand new fans have always loved about what they do.
Leave the negativity aside please. Chances are if you identify with anything this
Band has ever done, we should all celebrate the positivity in the fact that
They've brought us all together, at shows or otherwise.
We're the coolest kids and we take what we can get.

10/10 meme.

im not interpol but i like brand new, and i like this song. whaaaaaoooooo
|

"What brand new fans have always loved about what they do."
speak for yourself. my favorite Brand New songs arent "fun". not that i dont enjoy some of their more "fun" songs.
"So quick are we to abandon artists who have enriched
Our lives."
i dont think "abandoning" is the correct word, but who cares. i dont owe them anything, and they dont owe me anything, and old fans arent obligated to like their new material.
and yeah, nice meme btw.

@AdolfChrist - agree, what kind of Brand New fan loves their upbeat songs? The dark ones with crescendos cascading into screaming and chaos are where it's at.
That's why pretty much no-one says that YFW is their best record.
And yeah, nobody's abandoning BN, I would say that the fanbase is extremely patient, taking into account years of silence after Daisy (and don't get me started on the whole thing with TDAGARIM lyrics)! Doesn't mean that the fans have to like everything Jesse Lacey sings on.

All the people comparing this to Interpol seem to have forgotten that Interpol is actually, like, good.
|
| |
Yeah

yeah this song alone made me hate their entire back catalog i should feel pretty bad
|
| |
this is easily five kabrillion times worse than i could have ever expected
|
| |
"

hahahahahahaahahahahahaah
|
| |
Not nearly as bad as you guys made it seem. It wasn't that great but holy shit I was expecting pure unlistenable garbage. Mene was pretty cool and I'm still pumped for this.
|
| |
This is a HUGE step back for this band. From the outsanding TDAG over the atmospheric Daisy they return to the unimaginative pop-punk sound they used to produce 15 years ago.
There is not even anything new to this, so nobody can claim this being an evolution.
|
| |
This sounds like new Alkaline Trio, damn.
|
| |
This sounds like new Alkaline Trio, damn.
|
| |
yeah this is still lame
|
| |
I'm.... okay with it. I had surprisingly low expectations. I feel like its okay. It grew on me a little bit, but I'm not putting it on repeat anytime soon.
|

most creative news title ever

2018 disbandment date confirmed?
|
| |
I hope so
|
| |
Looks like a penis.
|
| |
I thought the exact same thing
|
| |
2018 confirmed release date.
|
| |
This is the end...
|
| |
Wow, they will have had a good run when they break up.
|
| |
finally gave this a listen and I literally have no problem with this song whatsoever, maybe I just have shit taste in music?
|
| |
I hope they will do an European tour
|
| |
sounds like Taking Back Sunday
|
| |
I hate Interpol, but I like this.
Am I doing something wrong?
|
| |
yeah
|
| |
idk, Interpol is pretty inoffensive.
|
| |
How damn you bump this thread. I thought there was another new single for a second!
|
| |
Brand new Brand new Brand New Single comment
I don't really hate Interpol, I just find them boring
|
| |
blink-182 and jimmy eat world had a baby and it was a mediocre Brand New album.
|
| |
I grew up with "Sic Transit Gloria" as one of my favorite songs, but didn't really check out anything else by the band until 'Daisy'. Maybe that's why I dig "I Am A Nightmare" more than the deeper fans for whom TDAGARIM is a seminal album.
|
| |
holy shit this really does sound like a new alkaline trio song
|
| |
Their whole discography is gold. Now stop bumping this thread and reminding me how they've been playing games with us for 7 years.
|
| |
I dig it
|
| |
huh, never thought they would sound pop again when they were moving away from that kind of sound. I dig it.
|
| |
This is not TDAGARIM (which is a masterpiece), but I like it for what it is: a good pop song.
|
| |
why would you bump this 
|
| |
One year anniversary of this song was yesterday
|
| |
Mene came out over 2 years ago.

This band sucks now. They should've just quit after Daisy. They're just not into it anymore, it's obvious, and I know the material on this album is going to be lame.
Also, this song still makes me angry, it's so mediocre that it's sinful.
|
| |
Fuck thread bumps forever
Also fuck these guys. How can you promise a new album in 2016 and then still not have uttered a word more than halfway through 2017?
|
| |
Yep, I'm more than over it.
This article is over a year old.
|
| |
Maybe they're having a hard time making another album up to their standards? They could've just hashed something together and drop it. I hope that the reason they're so late is that they don't want to compromise on anything.
|
| |
I haven't thought much about this band in like over 2 years, they were among my all time favorites for a while there. I'm sure their music would still resonate with me, but I've been focusing on other stuff.
Could take or leave a new album, they seem to be regressing with the new songs, but I bet it'd still be good.
nice if they got their act together and quit jerking around their fans, but at this point Tool is being more reliable with album updates than Brand New so I'm gonna continue not thinking about it.
|
| |
Yeah, after a year, this song is super mediocre. Mene is still fucking awesome. So is Sealed to Me.
But I'm kind of over waiting for the new album too. It'll be out whenever and it'll probably be good. But meh, I don't care that much anymore.
|
| |
Sealed to Me is the only one ive liked so far. new album doesnt sound promising.
|
| |
"Also fuck these guys. How can you promise a new album in 2016 and then still not have uttered a word more than halfway through 2017?"
Reminds me of Glassjaw
|
| |
at this point I don't even want a new album
|
| |
You know thats a lie lol
|
| |
I feel like a girl scorned, who got broken up with and made peace with it, but then was tossed a quickie (Demos) and now suddenly expects things to go back to the way they were. Every day, another little shred of hope dies while I curse myself for believing they were telling the truth; even for a second.
|
| |
lol will never understand the victim complex of some brand new fans
the band will release an album when they're happy with it and want to
|
| |
in all honesty (because I was about 50/50 joking) I wouldn't have it any other way. they have imo the ideal legacy if they just hung up the mic now, so I'd rather they not release anything unless it's up to their standards and they have no regrets about sending it out to their fans
|
| |
good song!
|
| |
haha they trolled us good with this. especially sowing XD XD XD
