the title track is beautiful

 

CTL is honestly my favorite JEW album a lot of days

 

Title track is a favorite for me, and I also love "Firefight."

 

and dizzy is easy contender for their best closer, just behind 23

 

When Jim did his solo tour last summer, he played Chase This Light, and I refuse to believe someone could not love that song after hearing it in that setting. I always liked he song, but it became my favorite on the album after that show. I don't know why, exactly, but seeing a song in a little different light can change it forever. For me at least.

 

jim solo was such a good show

 

I put Mixtape right behind 23. It doesn't touch 23, but it's still a fantastic closer and their second best

 

Firefight is a nice "heavy" song to add to CTLs diversity but its still prooooobably my least favorite song on that album.

 

A friend of ours went who was adamantly against the sort of music JEW plays. And he was absolutely blown away at how good Jim was. Just a mic and a guitar and a ton of gorgeous songs. Totally hooked my buddy.

 

the thing about "mixtape" is that it follows "invented," one of the best songs theyve ever written. it just doesnt live up to the song that came before which often kind of kills closers for me

 

can we all agree 23 is their best closer?

 

Invented is the better song (though not by much), but I've always liked how Mixtape feels sorta... "tacked on" in a way. And that sounds negative, but I mean it as a compliment. It feels like an epilogue. Green Day's "Whatsername" is a really good comparison for the vibe both those songs give me.

 

absolutely. glad i can agree with people on something for once

 

It might be their best song.

 

It is their best song. #2 is maybe Invented

 

Dizzy, Harbor, and My Sundown are better than 23

 

my sundown is the best on BA thats not called cautioners

 

Jaw drop.

 

kenneth is so c-c-c-c-c-controversial

 

Nah, I think the second best song on BA is either A Praise Chorus or Your House. I'd put My Sundown at 4 or 5

 

Don't agree with any song being better than 23. That's an acceptable opinion though, Ken

 

praise chorus also best song on BA three way tie

 

I would do just about anything to see him on a solo tour.

 

If a Praise Chorus is #2, what in the world is #1?

 

JEW has at least three albums better than Brand New's best
