    It doesn't sound like Daisy at all

    More like Deja if anything. But really doesn't sound like any of their previous albums.

    I was in the process of splitting it up manually and it seems there's already more tracks on the original 61 minute long track than on the tracklisting? "Same Logic/Teeth" is easily the 5th full song when splitting up manually.

    Remember when people thought this album would somehow only be available on the limited vinyl?

    Guys it's not like they are explicitly saying that. You can quote something or have a character from a detestable point of view in art and have it not be offensive. American History X is one of the strongest rebukes of racism in any art, but if you just clip one racist's line out and say "yikes" you are missing the entire point.

    Saying "yikes" to a line like that in a full song about complex political issues is insane. Look at it in context.

    It's way too late, or much too early Prestigious

    It's not from their perspective, though. It's all from someone else's position.

    Wooooooow. Just finished my full listen and got out of the tub only to find that the entire thing is now for sale and apparently I have a download link. Live. Amazing.

    Too many thoughts on the full album, but I absolutely love all the callbacks and references to sci-fi with the whole thing.

    Track two (Can't Get It Out?) is definitely a new absolute favorite to me, and the terrible quality stream gave me my new favorite misheard lyric of, "SOMETIMES I CAN'T GET IT UP!" Such a great track.

    The Boys Kissing Boys verse stood out to me too. Couldn't tell on a first listen if that whole song was meant to be someone else's perspective or something because a lot of the lyrics in it contradict each other.

    And during Batter Up I definitely like had a full Six Feet Under style vision of my whole life or something. That was an intense ending song. Really beautiful.

    Still hope I managed to get the CD package, but either way I am so stoked to have been a part of this today. I wish BN wasn't leaving so I could look forward to this kind of rush again from them.

    Writing lyrics from someone else's perspective isn't exactly something Brand New hasn't done before.

    Do we know the track list yet?

    So are digital downloads officially out or what was that all about?

    I've listened to the album 3-4 times now. Literally non-stop since it leaked.

    Gutted. I can't download the album to my phone with my instant download from ordering vinyl. It has to be done through laptop or desktop which unfortunately I don't have just now :(

    Sounds like Devil and God most to me, but there are some Deja moments, Daisy moments. It's fucking great.

    I cannot get over how much "Waste" sounds like Stone Temple Pilots. I know I already mentioned it but damn, brings a smile.

    I was gonna say it's hard for me to imagine that Jesse would suddenly have a knack for super offensive lyrics on LP5/Potential last album on sexual orientation.

    okay this is a suuuuper rough transcription of 'Desert". First thoughts are that I believe this song is from the POV of a bigoted father but i'ma put a trigger warning on this nonetheless.


    --
    Last night I heard a voice that said this is the end
    All my nerves have been warm to the threat
    And honestly I’ve one or two left

    I got my faith I’ve got my family, I’ve got a wife’s hands […?]
    If I believe only half what I read I’ve got a reason to be done in deep
    It’s revelation saying don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you

    I’ve seen those boys kissing boys with their mouth in the street
    But I’ve raised my son to be a righteous man, I’ve made it clear to him what fear of God means
    I hold him down under Thomkins lake before I ever let him go to the wolves
    The path you’re walking only narrow and straight and no son of mine will wander astray, abomination

    Don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you

    Last night I heard a voice that said don’t give up your gun
    They keep washing up right on the shores man they’re gathering […?]
    Those bleeding hearts come marching down my road well I’ll be waiting right here at my door
    It’s a lie to say It wouldn’t be fun if you’re joining man then I got one […?]


    Don’t come running to me when they’re coming for you

    If anyone has any corrections feel free to quote me with the line in question. This was done literally as a once over to help parse out general context and intention of the song.
