Oedo 808 Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Living Well is the Best Revenge rocks so hard. Somehow Fall Out Boy got huge from writing similar over-produced pop/punk tunes, but Midtown were just better."Like A Movie" is one of my favourite pop punk songs. The problem with Midtown is that they had a massive fall out with Drive-Thru shortly after Drive-Thru sold their souls to Geffen. The bitter Richard and Stefanie Reines did their utmost to damage the credibility of Midtown after that. Fall Out Boy "Take This To Your Grave/From Under the Cork Tree" era had the gimmick of shouty bits in their songs which Midtown did not. FOB were a pop punk band who were deliberately marketed to emo kids, whereas only a year or two before that Finch were still being marketed by Drive-Thru as "a dark pop punk band". Fashions change.

Soda Jerk Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 I don't like Brand New at all, but the opening track from The Devil and God... Fuck me. Banging. I wish they were always that angry and rocking at the same time. Most of the time they are just angry but a bit quiet. That song just kills it.YEAHH!!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Really? I love that delicate guitar and vocal, and how it just explodes into pure aggro. How can anyone not dig that?Also, I know they have two singers live, but does Jesse do all the vocals on the recordings? I can never tell the lead and backing vocals apart.

girl anachronism Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 That one above is The For Carnation, in case you're wondering.I really got into this one after the Spotify swap thread last year, this and the ARP one are two of my favourite records I've bought recently.

I often reckon it's almost the equal of Spiderland. I wish Brian McMahan made records these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 This lyric and more specifically the way it's delivered is one of my favourite things ever.So if you don't want me I promise not to linger,But before I go I've gotta ask you, dear, about the tan line on your ring finger.

Jaaakkkeee Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I like it, but most other big fans i know seem to not dig it as much.I haven't really given time to it. I really like the previous two albums. The Devil And God... was the last one I bought and I haven't really sat down and listened to it, perhaps with lyrics, like I like to do to new albums. But even without listening to the whole of TDAG I can tell I like it more than Daisy. I don't know, Daisy was just, for me, a step in the wrong direction.They started off with a young, angsty album which almost sounded like a pop-punk Taking Back Sunday. I love it. I know musically, and lyrically, Your Favourite Weapon is not their best, but its the roughness and the straight forward lyrics that do it for me. Especially lines about wanting John Nolan to die and shit. I love it. So angry.Then then matured and the second album sounded like this angry thing which was just at the point of boiling over but not quite there. They had marvelous loud choruses and beautifully depressing quiet verses, but it didn't have the roughness and aggressivness of the first album. I guess from an artists point of view, it was better in every aspect, more mature lyrics and better musically. But after hearing YFW it almost landed flat. Then I listened again and again and again and now I like it more.I think that's what will happen with TDAGARIM. From what I've heard it's an amazingly written album and a lot of people seem to keep telling me it's their best.Daisy starts off amazingly with Vices. The sample is perfect and it's all loud and distorted and I can see why The Xcerts loved it so much. But then it sort of trails off and every time I try to listen to it I find myself going MENU, MENU, SCROLL until I find Deja Entendu or YFW.That's my opinion, anyway. And btw, I only heard all 4 albums in the past... 2 months or so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest E.C Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 whichever album 'Vices' is on is the best of the two "serious" Brand New albums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soda Jerk Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 then you have bands that work every single day and tour as much as possible that aren't even half as good or even mildy as successful.That's completely subjective though. Alot of people probably think Brand New are dung. I do for the most part, except the opener from Devil and God. That first album is genuinely one of the worst records I've ever heard. The type of bands that tour 10 months out of the year probably aren't doing it to be successful either, but just for the love of being in a band, so I don't really see how that is relevant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swingin' Ryan Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Some other favourites that I stupidly neglected (I'm aware that 'The Singles' is technically a compilation but as it features songs that aren't on any other album then it's a valid choice, that's the rules cause I fucking say they are).
