Release Date: January 24, 2006 Need I introduce them? Brand New has become a staple of modern alternative and indie rock music, and you can look no further than the site's threads to confirm that. With each album, the band has been notorious for reinventing themselves while keeping the same quality of excellent musicianship, further darkening lyricism and a sense of secrecy about what the band is up to (or not up to, for that matter)...

Release Date: November 6, 2006 It may seem odd to review an album that came out seven years ago, but as I was browsing through this website, I only found two reviews, neither of which did this album justice (no offense). But is giving this album the praise it deserves really possible in a brief review? Probably not. Although it's often attempted, it's rare to see such a personal album be so well received by a mass audience...

Sound: Brand New is by far the best Emo band (if not the best band period) out there today. I was a Brand New fan since they released their first CD "Your Favorite Weapon" a few years ago. That CD sounded like a punk/rock CD, but a very good one. But when you look and listen a little closer, you realize that not only is the music good, but so are the lyrics. Brand New is known for their amazing lyrics. Deja Entendu ("already heard" in French) is Brand New's sophomore album...

Sound: Brand New. A band that has 'so much hype, their hype has hype'. Building up a cult following unlike any other in music, Brand New have previously released 3 stellar albums, each one completely different in sound from the other. 2006's critically acclaimed The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me established a darker, louder sound for Brand New, while maintaining their fantastic lyrics. Brand New then almost completely disappeared off the face of the earth for nearly 3 years...

Sound: The drastic change from "Your Favorite Weapon" to "Deja Entendu" was easily noticed. In TDAGARIM, it feels a lot more like Deja Entendu because the poppy feel has completely left the band. Brand New clearly stated they did not want to make the same album twice, and they continue to follow that formula. You will notice that the album as a whole sounds a little hollow, as in it was recorded in a big music hall. You can tell that simply by their latest release...

Sound: From your first listen and forever after, post-hardcore Long Island band Brand New's debut album will have you head banging, foot tapping and generally rocking out in tune to what you will one day accept to be the most amazing noises youve ever heard. Those 'magical noises' I'm referring to are the musical stylings and lyrical compositions of Brand New frontman Jesse Lacey...

Summary: I've tried. God knows that I've tried. That part in "Vices," when the album slugs you in the face after forcing you to strain your ears and think 'Dear God, what is this bullshit?': that's it. Daisy is broken and Daisy is violent. It is not romantic and it is not particularly deep. It's this writhing, bitter little record, obsessed with mortality as if the thing were breathing down its neck...

Summary: Settle, baby. I barely hear it anymore. No matter how much time passes between listens, The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me rarely sounds new or fresh. I can't remember what it used to mean to me and I don't know what it means to me now...

An orange haze settled over the lake one morning while I was at my family's mountain cabin. It was approximately 5:30 a.m. and the wildlife had just begun to stir from the cold night prior to the sun's timid arrival on the horizon. I was laying motionless on the couch in front of the glass door, peering out at the rough surface of the water while the beginning of 'Tautou' slowly began pounding in my left ear.....
