Brand New have released the first single off their upcoming album “Daisy” on their Myspace today. What do you think about “At the Bottom?”
All of their albums so far have been dramatically different than the previous one, but I feel like this song would have fit in fine with the last album. Maybe they have hit a maturity level they can stick with.
Listen to Seventy times 7, Sic Transit Gloria, Jesus Christ and then At the Bottom and you can literally hear a band grow up.
I don’t think the new song is reminiscent of any of the work. Though now that I think about it, ‘Failure by Design’ kind of has the same feel as the new song. I think it sounds like Modest Mouse and i’m a little scared I might actually not like a Brand New record if the rest of it is similar to this.
I think I read somewhere that Vinnie wrote 7 of the songs on the new record. I’m not 100 percent sure that is true, but it could be the reason for the difference.
well i heard that after getting many responses about it sounding similar to modest mouse the band said something somewhere along the lines of “than you are in for a pleasant surprise”. i personally dont think it sounds similar to modest mouse. i didnt like it at first but it continues to grow on me.
it made me sick listening to it. where’s the progression?
Can we get the rest of The Devil and The Lion to comment on this?
