Daisy begins where they left off in TDAG and continues to progress into a rawer and darker territory. It's amazing to pop all four cds into a playlist and listen to the bands progression from Your Favorite Weapon to Daisy, it's like listening to a beautiful car wreck, where the band deliberately speeds into a wall of grungy guitars and gnarled lyrics. Where TDAG had an epic sound, Daisy skews off into an alternate 1993, and is already being compared to Nirvana's In Utero. Had Nirvana been able to make a few more albums, and Kurt continue his improved songwriting of You Know You're Right, Nirvana's 5th record could have sounded much like Daisy, atleast lyric wise. Now, when I compare Daisy to In Utero, I'm not saying that because both are loud and grungy that they sound the exact same, I'm comparing the aura's of the two albums and the "I don't give a shit what you want to hear, I care about what I want to play" mentality of both. Is this TDAG part two or the second coming of Deja Entendu? No, but that's not what Brand New wants it to be, it's the next, most logical, and most likely last step in this bands evolution. In words that have been repeated by many musicians, including Kurt Cobain, "it's better to burn out, than to fade away," and that's exactly what they're doing. They laid all their cards on the table, cleaned up, and walked away (most likely) from the table ahead before they became "just another band" and for that I applaud you Brand New.Counting Crows August And Everything After
