Mogs anything Brand New ever released.
>>
>>130211178
Brand New is extremely overrated.
>>
>>130211178
It's not even the best Taking Back Sunday album and Brand New mogged the ever loving shit out of them in their pop punk era, you goofy motherfucker
>>130212589
Many retards are saying this
>>
>>130212861
Because they are.
>>
>>130213238
Yes. A retard would believe this. Retards are wrong howeverthobeit.
>>
brand new schizo shamelessly defends this band every time a thread or post comes up talking shit about them
>>
>>130213275
TBStranny has no actual argument for why they mog Brand New. It certainly isn't musically as Fred left the band ages ago and took any talent they had with him. They haven't evolved their sound unless you count ripping The Gaslight Anthem off. It sure as shit isn't vocally since Adam is one of the worst in the genre. So what is it that qualifies them as a better?
>>
Notice how brand new fans never mention tbs
>>
Brand New is a very rapey sounding band. I used to listen to them a lot but now I just hear cringe and sexpestness.

TBS is ok
>>
>>130214058
>now I just hear cringe and sexpestness
You should stop listening to your own thoughts then
>>
>>130214033
I'll do it. Brand new is a decent band, I'm not a super fan or anything, i like a couple albums, while tbs is gay pop punk garbage that even back in the day was considered slop for teenage girls.
>>
>>130214033
There was never even any actual beef between those bands. By them time people even heard the "diss" tracks John and Jesse had already made amends. If you're talking just in general, it's because Brand New kept charting new ground and TBS couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot with sheer laziness. There's nothing to compare. Brand New are objectively superior while TBS will always have 3 of baby's first emo albums but that's about it. They're not inspiring shit
>>
>>130211178
Interesting that, just 2 years ago, I'd have agreed, I used to prefer TBS over BN, but now I can't understand why.
That album has some great songs : My Blue Heaven, Error: Operator, Spin... but that's about as good as YFW, maybe somewhat better, and that's the weakest BN album, Daisy is better, Deja Entendu already mogs that album (both in how innovative the sound, how diverse, with some songs sounding nothing alike, while TBS only rehashed ideas) SF even more so, it feels unfair to even compare, like comparing a kid's doodles to a museum piece, don't even need to bring up TDAGARIM that thing is god-tier, I don't think it is humanly possible to produce an album that good ever again, no Radiohead, no Pink Floyd, nothing even approaches it, the only other album that matches it, is it's twin : TCFSR, if both were rated a 95, Louder Now would be a 25, and I'm being generous !
>>
>>130216750
Good assessment
>>
For Those you dumbfucks who think they stopped being good after Fred left
1) Self Titled (2011)
>El Paso
>When I Let You Down
>Best Places to Be a Mom
>It Doesn't Feel a Thing Like Falling
>You Got Me

2)Happiness Is(2014)
>Flicker Fade
>Stood a Chance
>Beat Up Car
>They Don't Have Any Friends
>We We're Younger Then

3)Tidal Wave(2016)
>Death Wolf
>Tidal Wave
>You Can't Look Back
>All Excess
>Call Come Running

The ONLY bad album they ever made was their newest one "152". It makes New Again amazing in comparison. And New Again wasn't even that bad in hindsight.
And yes, they stopped being "Emo" after Fred left. Its called growing up.
I barely listen to their older shit in comparison to 2011-onward.
A band that actually evolved beyond their kid selves.
>>
>>130211178
Not a high bar whatsoever. Brand New is embarrassingly terrible shit. Never heard whatever that OP album is, though.
>>
>>130217666
You're a dumb fuck for trying rationalize this band being complete shit for 20 something years now. No growth. Just copying whatever other bands were attempting to great success. Fred and Matt Rubano are the only things that saved them after John and Shaun left. You're a sucker for a shit band. Nothing wrong with that but your entire post is coping. Ripping off other bands blatantly isn't evolving kek.
>>
>>130217794
Very amazing of you to enter the thread and share your marvelous insights, dipshit
>>
>>130217794
OP's pic is Taking Back Sunday's Louder Now.
Came out in 2002 and the only reason TBS and Brand New gets compared is because the 2 leads knew each, had short term beef that they shortly requittled but the fans still bitch at each other.
Louder Now is usually considered to be TBS most popular album.
Containing their biggest hit MakeDamnSure.
Its definitely a great album but see
>>130217666
For the other gems they've made since.
>>
>>130217833
And Brand New sounds like /Built To Spill/The Used/Weezer etc.etc.etc.
Everyone sounds like everyone else.
TBS is a good band with misses like majority of other bands.
Your favorite lead is a fucking pedo and if he wasn't he wouldn't have put the band on hiatus after being called one.
At least Adam never got caught in the spotlight for shit.
>>
>>130217956
>Brand New
>sounding like the Used
Way to let everyone know you don't know shit about anything. And there's no way in hell Adam wasn't fucking around with little girls. I seem to remember when rumors popping up a few years ago about him too. You know why nothing came of it? Because he's a fucking nobody who ruins his own life on the daily. He can't sing. He can't write. He's a hack faggot who blew what little voice he had out decades ago and he's been coasting on the first three albums his band made ever since.
>>
>>130217981
You listen to only Brand New. Otherwise you'd realize Brand New doesn't sound anything new.
>>
>>130217987
I listen to a ton of music and you know why Brand New endures and is considered one of the high points in the genre? They never never stopped pushing forward. There's a reason every band was trying to ape TDAG and no one came close.
>>
>>130217981
Nothing came of it because nothing happened.
Adam became a fucking dad and that's the big reason their sound shifted. Yes he fucked himself and his throat through constant smoking and drug use.
But at least he's nowhere near a piece of shit like you and your favorite lead.
(P.s TDAGARIM is my favorite BN album)
>>
>>130218030
Nothing came of it because he's a no one and no one gives a flying fuck about TBS. Adam is a well-known piece of shit and no amount of you slurping his cock will change that. Jesse has also been a piece of shit for extended periods of his life. I like to think he's changed but I don't know him and none of this matters. It's very telling you have to resort to outside shit to try and have any kind of argument here.
>>
>>130218048
Simply see
>>130217666
No shit after leaving their old sound they forever lost that momentum their early albums had. But they would be bigger losers trying to stay in that place when in reality/life you change as time goes.
They all became Dads and dived into it affecting their sound. It would be disingenuous to keep pretending they were the same emo kids in high school when they wrote Tell All Your Friends.
>>
>>130218096
It's well established TBS is derivative nonsense and Fred took the talent with him when he left. I'm not going in circles with you.
>>
>>130218106
Fred became a solo act and couldn't go jack shit.
If he was such a talent why isn't he flourishing? (Unfortunately)
>>
>>130211178
You really are seething huh? Sorry brand new mogs you so hard
>>
Any album shits on Brand New desu.
>Jesse Lacey? More like GAYcey.
>>
>>130211178
I JUST WANNA BREAK YOU DOWN SO BADLY
>>
>>130218186
Probably because no one wanted to fuck Fred? He doesn't have anything to prove to you or that fanbase. Breaking Pangaea mogs the ever loving shit out of TBS too. You're doing very badly at this btw.
>>
>>130218264
He doesn't need to be fuckable he just needs to be good.
Woody Nelson/ Louis Armstrong/ etc are all buttfuck ugly but their talented.
You claimed he was the only talent, if so he should be flourishing.
>>
NEW AGAIN WAS A GOOD ALBUM AND I'M TIRED OF PRETENDING IT ISN'T.
>>
The album with cute without the e was the best one, this is the mainstream sellout shit.
>>
>>130218312
Tell All Your Friends.
Every time I want to visit that album I listen to the 20th anniversary acoustic version.
Ironically more profound hearing it in acoustic.
Great fucking album.
>>
>>130218348
No its actually the 10th Anniversary one. I'm blaming it on it being almost 2am
>>
>WHAT'S IT FEEL LIKE TO BE A GHOST
>>
>>130218292
He was the only talent in the band hence why TBS has been irrelevant for 20 something years. Matt Rubano was also the talent but it's hard for bassist to succeed. Need I go on?

For me, it's Miami

Again, if Fred is so talented. He should be flourishing.
TBS is doing fine on their own. Touring and everything.

Speaking of amazing bridges.
We Were Younger Then(from Hapiness Is) is my favorite TBS song SOLELY because of that CINEMATIC bridge.
It elevates that song to another dimension
https://youtu.be/CGWZvjdB0rA?si=jZyduYCijgrqLe2d
>>
>>130220616
Honestly they have great bridges throughout their career. Always change things up and elevate the song around them.
>>
>>130220387
Fred is doing just fine. Solo work, filling in, studio work. He never particularly wanted to be famous or be the face of anything. He lucked into it and he made the two best albums this otherwise forgettable band ever made. The moment he left this band took a nosedive and everyone who isn't an obsessive like you would say the same thing.

>>130220969
I don't know if I would say having an okay song here and there is staying good. They really should have broke up a long time ago or at least never attempt to make anything new.
>>
>>130220969
>popular means good
You truly are the worst. Adam looks like shit. The physical manifestation of his vocals.
>>
>>130221078
The albums I listed are worthy of them staying together.
If anything they should have broke it off after Tidal Wave because their newest album 152 is hot garbage.
>>
>>130221091
Keep seething.
Keep coping.
>>
>>130221119
How is that coping? You literally made the argument that popular equals good which is he telltale sign of defeat. Of course they have more monthly streams than Brand New. Their albums were designed to be radio hits. There's nothing wrong with that but popular isn't any measure of quality.
>>
>>130221149
You said they were irrelevant.
I simply proved otherwise.
>>
>>130221172
They are irrelevant outside of emo night. Who, aside from you, gets excited about TBS continuing to make slop? All of those 2.whatever million listeners are listening to their hits from decades ago. Nothing wrong with that but that's all this band is.
>>
>>130221192
152 is hot garbage.
See
>>130221103
I'm just like anyone else. I only want a band to keep making shit if its worth my time.
And 152 is not worth my time.
>>
>>130221211
I feel the same way. TBS just ran out of gas with Louder Now. There's no shame in admitting that. Some bands have a shelf life.
>>
>>130221231
Many bands have a peak. Louder Now was theirs.
I have no shame in admitting that.
I still enjoy their discography onward(except 152).
I simply understand they'll never get back that spark that was Louder Now.
>>
>>130221270
Louder Now was theatrical in nature.
They never set out to do another theatrical album again.

Logically speaking, it should, but then you find out that 3 of the all-time top 10 best selling "emo" albums are :

https://open.spotify.com/album/3PWEGZ6CYvXRnr0JCECsDe

Also, that's not surprising, given BN disbanded for almost a decade, after the scandal.

>Thinking Science Fiction was good.

And yet only about 1M people listen to them at a given month. Mostly to listen to DE and TDAG instead.
Wow, Science Fiction must be an amazing album.
>>
>>130221890
Science Fiction is a bit touchy because that was around the time of the scandal.
Hard to want to listen to it when its presence reminds you of that time.

Not even the normies are listening to them.
Its the true fans listening to just those 2 albums.
Maybe 80% normie 20%(You) [I'm being generous)
>>
>>130223106
What exactly has worked you so terribly hard? That Brand New has an infinitely better musical legacy, is beloved and have influenced countless bands and TBS is an emo night staple? These are facts
>>130223357
Is this really the only argument TBStrannies have in their entirely one sided beef? Spotify plays? Very sad indeed
>>
>>130223418
>Better musical legacy
Jesse single handily fucked that legacy harder then Adam deep throated his cigarettes.

The CCR guy was the only talented member in the band and he still couldn't do that much solo. the enviroment matters. it's clear fred made the band work. he was the guy who made sure the record and the arrangements were working after everyone left the studio.
>>
>>130223512
Him and Rubano were the only ones interested in making music for album four, apparently. Fred said the others were more concerned with preparing food. Bunch of dimeless fucking dorks.
>>
Don't care about either band.
Never will.
But TBS fag seems a lot like faggy and pretentious than BN fag so if I ever subject myself to either garbage. I'm siding with tbs fag.
Good job fag.
