Brand New - Science Fiction (August 17, 2017) [ARCHIVED] Album • Page 354

Totally from last year. I remember posting it on fb and talking about how much the album still means so much to me. Did they revise or add to it or maybe they are simply trying to cash in on all the hype and attention this album is generating. Weird.

 

Me and ben (wharf rat, don't wanna tag him into this thread because hed definitely get mad at me) accidentally turned him into a stoner when we hung out at pitchfork fest a couple years ago lol

 

@Wharf Rat

 

Impressed!

 

I'm not even mad, I'm impressed! What movie is that from anyone know....I've heard it somewhere once.....

 

Came here to say I love this album, see nostalgia over old AP personalities instead of album discussion. It's just like the old Brand New threads I lurked and felt way too intimidated to post in! It's funny that I've had a total of maybe 50 posts on here and AP combined but I lurked long enough to recognize most of those names.

Anyway, this album is super fucking good.

 

Anchorman

 

O rly? Man I haven't seen that movie in ages. Due for a rewatch soon.

 

It's a classic!

 

I don't even listen to or know enough music to make a top ten best albums of all time list.

 

well theres the 5 brand new albums....

 

Yeah, nothing is topping this for my AOTY.

Also, this part of "Waste" just clicked and hit me particularly hard:

"I'm hoping that in time you can lay down
All this weight you've been carrying around
And maybe one day
You'll find your way
To climb on up out of your grave
With the bits of you you've managed to save"

 

You're no saint

 

Don't feel intimidated! Just dive in. (This is coming from someone who was also intimidated to jump in back in the TDAG days on AP.net and eventually got over it.)

 

I think this record cements brand new as my favorite band. It was a toss up before

 

Yeah don't be intimidated to post here. Everyone here seems to be good people, unlike the most of AP toward the last few years.

 

And if they arnt good they are usually told so ha.

 

after listening to this one on repeat im going back and listening to daisy and TDAG and im enjoying them more than ever before. its pretty great.

 

There was definitely an arrogant old guard on AP that I don't see when I browse Chorus. I appreciate that, makes it a lot easier for me to feel comfortable posting. But I do miss reading the extremely awful takes from guys like kidinthebushes and seeing them get ripped to shreds, that was cathartic lol.

 

man i keep trying to let this breathe a little bit but i can't

 

Yeah, I listened to TDAG yesterday and was just like....damn. It's already one of my favorite albums of all time but it's cool to go back and listen with the full picture in mind.

 

So thankful for this band, I'll never be ready to say goodbye

 

Daisy is similar. you hear the americana/bluesy vibe in some songs that didnt get fully realized until in the water/451

 

i went thru the discog from yfw to sf yesterday during work. super emotional to revisit all that nostalgia knowing what lied on the road ahead.

 

@CoffeeEyes17 talking about a dark humor lyric

"I'll never have to lose my baby in the crowd, I should be laughing right now"

That one fucks me up so bad, when I saw them at ommegang he just sang that whole section on repeat over and over again.
