Nothing compares to the Devil and God album, for me. Deja/Your Favorite Weapon were the albums I liked as a teenager. Nostalgia, right? "I Believe you but my Tommy Gun Don't" still gets me pumped. The Boy who Blocked His own Shot/SoCo, Guernica, The No Seatbelt Song (favorite oldie off of YFW)
The old school was youth-like punk style, loved it, but once their style matured: The Devil and God/Daisy, they blew me away. I was into darker/more alternative rock material by the time TD&D album released. Once I heard "Sowing Season" -- chills! That entire album can be listened to front to back, not a bad song on it! When you hear Not The Sun, You Won't Know and Limousine.. The breaks in most of the tracks are so diverse, it is so impressive. Their ability to change the entire mood; heavy guitar riffs, seemingly dark undertones, Lacey's voice, into a sudden upbeat and "new feel" in just one song. Luca is in a class of it's own. That ending is genius.
Millstone and Jesus Christ get me every time. Takes me right back to '06/'07. Just an utterly incredible album.
By the way, did you ever rewind the opening track on The Devil and God? The hidden (voicemails, or whatever it was) was such a badass hidden piece in the album.
For me it's one of those special albums, I still remember the first time I heard it, my mate showed up to play me the album so we just sat in his car and blared it, as soon as I heard the
YEAH Of sowing season I knew they'd created something special,
think we're totally in synch when it comes to brand new, I was going to say about the tonal shifts, that's something I've always loved about band New they've got such a unique talent for pulling off tempo changes that just feel natural.
Yeah I love jessie's voice, his range is incredible but it's how much he changes his voice up, going from a quiet half whisper to a shout in the same song,
No I never have! Didn't even know there was a hidden message I'll have to check it out, wow thought I knew pretty much everything about brand new
Yeah, definitely look for the hidden track. They of course have a more complex way of hidden messages. Very uniquely placed in track 1 and you have to use an actual stereo and rewind during the intro. It's really creepy, in a good way.
Alt-J's track in Taro, too..and 30 Seconds to Mars' at the end of album.. I love hidden tracks.
When I heard Sowing Season, the "YEEEAHHH" got me. I'll never forget listening to it so loud and with my headphones on.. it was already amazing... The subtle tone and guitar, then a huge twist and scream from Lacey. The Devil and God is the best album to blast in the car. My friend and I just did, traveling through back roads; from sunset-to-sundown.. So much simple fun.
That is an album that will change your life.
whats your current favorite song?

Wow. We're on the exact same page.
