Derek™ Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 13 minutes ago, The Ghost of Randy Savage said: About halfway through and so far I'm with you. I've dug probably two songs so far. It's not terrible...it's just not great. Read: first impression of every Brand New record ever. Started with Deja back in the day and I've felt this way about it and every subsequent album since then. I'd be more concerned if you loved every track on first listen. Just now, Satan said: its hard to believe this band is still relevant. Is it? You've been on VC a while now. DecayToDeath 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like SOMETHING and I just can't put my finger on it. Very 90’s to me at times. I can’t recall which song, but I thought I was hearing Alice In Chains for a second.

I wouldn't call myself a "fan" but I like at something off each of their albums. But I remember when they played some dive here with TBS in like 2002?ish? and then all of a sudden 1/4 of my high school had the same BN shirt. Then I remember Deja dropping. If you told me then about how they'd be viewed post-2010 I would have been like "No fucking way. Not a chance." I've known them almost for half my life and while I like them...I just don't "get" it.

ryantark Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Yeah, good 90's rock. The second track's verse is pretty much In The Garage. Can't unhear it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANK YOU. I definitely thought "This sounds like Weezer..." but again, couldn't put my finger on it. It's like 90s alt rock but mopey in a post 2000 way. So its a decent album, but not as good as people are going to make it out to be. It's ironic, but they'd be a better band if they hit the same ceiling as Taking Back Sunday. No one expects a new TBS album to change their life, but if it's not straight garbage they're happy. (Note: I've only heard 2 post-Where You Want to Be TBS songs...not including that time I saw them in like 2009? 2010? touring with Weezer...and the only song they played that I knew was Cute Without the E and I'm still mad about it) ryantark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjplaysdrums Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Just downloaded this from the order confirmation email, can't wait to see how I feel about it. Neglected social media all day in terms of listening, fingers crossed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

batman Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 i'm actually pleasantly surprised by this... after a couple listens, the only track that really isn't doing it for me is '451'. THE_James_Champ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeeMoreGlass Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 First listen through... just absolutely brilliant...loved every song and that I could hear echoes of the past three records throughout but the most interesting thing is where those records were filled with a lot of anger and are for the most part very aggressive, this record is so subdued and that is the brilliance of it. I can't wait to dig more into it lyrically but I feel a really despondent vibe Also, I got some serious Pink Floyd vibes from this...maybe it is just me being weird but I seriously hear a little Wish You Were Here in there somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blanketburrito Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Do you think the Aus exclusive is limited or "indefinite" along with the standard black? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks to be sold out. I just had one in my cart and was having a real internal struggle on whether or not I needed to spend another $50 on this album and it sold out by the time I decided to do it. I read on another forum that it was limited to 400 but I don't know where they got that info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had my cursor hovering over the buy now button for like 2 hours wondering if I should spend the money on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blanketburrito Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hmmm it's still telling me it's sold out. I added it to my cart and went through the whole process but in the end got "Some products became unavailable and your cart has been updated. We're sorry for the inconvenience."

itsWetWilly Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Haven't been to the boards in WAY too long. Came back just to check out this thread. I don't regret it. Stoked this album is here. Can't wait to get my "Limited" copy. Hope everyone is doing well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
llamason56 Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Had this come out after Devil...people would have lost their minds. Some people still will be disappointed with this album. But it's damn good. Wish it had come out in 2009, but late is better than never. Honestly this can be their last album. I'd be okay with that idea now.

AdamJNovak Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 So from what I'm understanding, there's no difference between the "very limited" vinyl and the one they're selling now? Only difference was the CD that people got in the mail today? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I seriously doubt they hiked up the price just to add on a seamless, 1-song version of the album on a CD and then call that a "very limited vinyl." cantdance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantdance Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) *got beat to the punch. quick side note...I get that brand new fans are obnoxious - but why do people have such a hard time admitting they just genuinely like this band? That's okay, right? Edited August 18, 2017 by cantdance danmpie7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
