Brand New Band • Page 101

Like I've always thought it was I'm on my way to hell but can also hear that now and I don't know what to think :s Jesse's enunciation is both a blessing and a curse haha

 

"I died for you one time but never again" is my favorite lyric ever.


Not saying it's the best, but it's my favorite

 

My favorite lyrics is " if everyone's a structure where their own savior sits, then I'm a little red house but no ones living in it"

 

BNT over at pitchfork

Ian Cohen on the review

I Am a Nightmare by Brand New Review | Pitchfork

 

Really? To me it seems so obvious that it's I'm on my way out. Crazy how some are hearing it differently. I almost have a theory that 2 versions are out there and some got the cd with way out and some got it with way to hell lol

 

According to that story, Jesse said it was "I'm on my way out" and that he wished he had thought of "I'm on my way to hell" but who knows if that's actually true

 

I liked this, he didn't over praise the song but he also didn't put the band down for doing something different

 

The emo equivalent to poptimism

 

that's one of the more shocking things i've seen on pitchfork tbh

 

Agreed. I did a double take.

Though I think it's due in part to new fresh writers. Maybe a little younger and grew up with different music than the writers of p4k from 10 years ago. But this is just me speculating.

 

whoa this is weiiirdddd

 

like, i mean yeah, it's changed a lot since 2009, but they didn't even cover mene

 

Fuck Pitchfork though but yeah for them that was ok just never liked them and probably never will.

 

If any band from this scene deserves the accolades, they'd be at the top of the list. The Hotelier, Thursday and Thrice (at their pinnacle) would be the others in my opinion.

Edit: I'd throw Every Time I Die in there, too. Their last two records in particular show a band that isn't resting on its laurels almost two decades into their career.

Edit 2: How could I forget about Foxing? Duh.

 

Thursday has definitely gotten some shoutouts from P4K over the last few years if you've read articles/reviews. Consistently mentioned as one of the most important/influential bands from that era.

If they were to re-review say a Full Collapse reissue I think they'd get a BNR. They Waiting reissue review was pretty favorable.

 

I wonder if they will review the new Thrice and or Hotelier album.

 

guaranteed hotelier (they're on their festival lol), thrice is probably 50/50 (and sure to not get more than like a 6.5 or so)

 

hotelier will definitely get a review

 

Anybody else excited for Saosin with AG will be fun to jam that one tomorrow.

 

The Hotelier album will be reviewed. That's a lock. Probably by Ian Cohen who has already called it their OK Computer (or at least a leap in sound like that). They gave their last album an Honorable Mention for their end of year list.

 

i doubt ian will review it tbh

 

Isn't it sad you can place a review score without even hearing the music.. Wtf is up with that? They should score music based off of the music not who the band is

 

It's incredible and I'll be listening to it if goodness doesn't stream

 

I liked Pitchfork (still like writers there) but am still irrationally bitter about their Volta reviews

 

Well i've never really listened to them before but i am def interested in hearing this one. The OK CPU comparaison is intriguing for sure
