Brand New - Science Fiction (August 17, 2017) [ARCHIVED] Album • Page 197

True

 

I don't feel that way but I can understand it may not be for everyone

 

Love u

 

Album suxkz

Put me on mute

 

I'm so glad they they put out a fantastic album. This thread could have very easily been filled with disappointed people instead of all the praise.

 

Hah, that was totally Daisy. I remember that well.

 

As much as I love Daisy, this is far and away everything I could have wanted them to do with a final album. It is objectively better lyrically and in diversity.

 

i love u more

 

So weird to me bc I loved daisy so much immediately... wish I was posting more back then

 

i remember jesse saying something to the extent of dialing it back to a TDAG sound and going in a different direction. Daisy felt like the most aggressive and darkest parts of TDAG fully realized into this ugly, chaotic mess that totally works for what its going for. this feels like they dialed it back and went for the more atmospheric and suspenseful parts of TDAG while throwing in some of the energy and dynamics that the demos had. its pretty much exactly what I wanted from them.

 

BRAND NEW - Science Fiction CD - 44.5902N104.7146W

 

don't know if this has been mentioned in this thread yet (so many pages) but its up on Spotify now. Search by Science Fiction rather than Brand New

 

I want it, but nope.

 

It's my 2nd favorite song after Can Only Be Heaven

Both songs are already two of my favorite Brand New sings ever

 

Hi thread, this album is still amazing :)

 

Add Batter Up to this and we have the same list

 

Lit Me Up is their best opener to date and Batter Up is their best closer to date. They really created a masterpiece and started/ended the album perfectly.

 

Daisy is great when played live.

 

Seeing the songs played live enhances the studio album.

 

I heard it much later than everyone else so I was surprised that it was hated, as I personally love it.

I also never understood how Folie a Deux got so much hate at the time

 

Bugs me too. I took a lot of shit for that one I'd like some apologies for. Hah.

 

The change in pace on "never be heaven with, out, you" is a top 5 moment.

 

Agreed. It's my least favourite Brand New record but by no means a bad album.

 

I can't get over how good that jam is in In the Water. It's one of their most cheerful songs, I feel.

 

I am a huge fan of The National, they even have my second favorite album of all time (Boxer), but I don't think they will top Science Fiction. This album is just so so so good.
