Brand New - Science Fiction (August 17, 2017) [ARCHIVED] Album • Page 381

Well my list is bull shit because I left off Ixora, YAMS and ESR. Basically Copeland is the best and my list is a sham without them.

 

It was great. I really hope they return and put out another or at least go on tour

 

The whale is well-rehearsed
Swimming circles in the church
The cardinal fish says,
"God is dead"
Whale says,
"Get out of my head
Get out of my head
Get out of my head"

I'm in for this interpretation. I've been singing it all day.

 

Their most recent tour with Rae Cassidy was one of the best shows of my life. I was like in tears the whole time lol

 

In one thread we are disagreeing about Scott Pilgrim, in another we are agreeing on Fear Before. Both posts are off topic. Nice lol

 

According to Genius it's "the whale says"

 

Hahahaha I was just thinking this. Too good

 

I've been consuming as many reviews of the record as I can, this one is definitely umm... different?

Everything You Like Is Bad by Ryan Sim on Apple Podcasts

If you want to hear a take from casual BN fans, they don't dig the record (or even the band?) much at all. Eveyone is entitled to their opinion I guess ha

Edit: Encore is a much more enjoyable listen for obvious reasons ha

 

Waaaaaaa?

Is this for real?

 

Those lyrics are way too stupid

Azlyrics has the normal-sounding version

 

what makes them stupid? I think it paints an awesome picture. very Aaron Weiss

 

I mean, these guys have a thing for fish. seems a bit far fetched to say these are "way too stupid."

And your avatar makes me irrationally angry.

 

But the ones on AZLyrics don't actually sound like what he's singing.

 

stupid wasn't the word I meant, I meant unorthodox. it's weird as all hell and not in a Brand New way. it sounds off too when I just listened to it and it's definitely "cardinal fair".

 

idk listening with good headphones i hear the sh at the end.

 

it makes more sense it would be a conversation between a whale and a fish.. I really like it actually. great word play

 

It's not even that, I just don't know what to think of it lol. I'm still proud of it but I can't trust my judgments of it so I'm just waiting to see what others say about it, and saying it sucks is fun for me.

You definitely did! Tbh the more I think about it, the less I know what my actual top 15 is lol

 

ok, I changed it just for you

 

That will do.

 

The beginning of Lit Me Up, after the sample, always tricks me into thinking I'm about to hear Lovers by Deftones.

 

I hear "whale" and I hear "fair"

 

Science Fishtion

 

And so starts an endless debate we will have for years

 

What's a "cardinal fair" though?

I know what a cardinal is, but there is no such thing as a "cardinal fair," there is such a thing as a cardinal fish, and it makes sense in the context of the lyrics.

 

Maybe it's "wail"
