Brand New - Science Fiction (Preorder / Download up now)

[PeteeBee]

I dig the new record. That's all. Can't decide if I want to see them in SF next week. It's like $60 after fees and that's a little rich for my blood

[kbit]

Might be yr last chance if you believe their omens about not being a band next year

[D.o.S.]

Fingers crossed.

[kbit]

Luckily, we live in an age where everything you hate can be recalled at a moments notice.

[neonblack]

Fingers crossed.

If they do break up I'm gonna call you and read aloud every retrospective, sad article, and "Top __ Brand New songs" list

I am sad about the allegations, but I'm glad that he owned to it pretty much immediately. Glad he did not attempt to paint himself as the actual victim. Disappointing situation but could have been worse. I've never been a victim of sexual misconduct... not sure what those girls would be looking for from him if anything... but I hope he continues to try to make it right in any case.

Diane: Well, why does anything matter, right? Love is an illusion, and happiness is fleeting, and there's no such thing as God, and all your favorite musicians beat their wives. Allegedly.

I love this album everything else aside, I have it in fairly constant rotation.

AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN FISH WON'T JUDGE YOU BY YOUR FAULTS

Idk, man. His statement seems like a smoke screen of all these other shitty things he’s done without acknowledging the actual accusation of soliciting minors. It’s way more about his ‘recovery’ than it is his recognition and apology.

[reckon luck]

Very sad for the victims, and I'm glad he owned it quickly. I hope everyone gets the support and healing they need.

I'm also sad for those fans who put him on a pedestal. It's going to put their music in a new light.

I used to know the name of every person I kissed
Now I made this bed and I can't fall asleep in it
Take me out tonight,
The ship of fools I'm on will sink
I'm my own stone around my neck,
Be my breath, there's nothing I wouldn't give

[casecandy]

I don't think many BN fans put him on a pedestal, he's pretty widely known as a piece of shit. And, yeah, if you're surprised that the person who wrote "Me vs. Madonna vs. Elvis" is a degenerate, you must not be a lyrics person, iunno

Jesse Lacey is like, uh, the Bojack Horseman of the emo world

People absolutely put him on a pedestal. He's a broken hero. Look at all the people defending his bullshit and attacking his victims.
There's a difference between being a shithead and preening teenage girls for your sexual pleasure. If you can reconcile his heinous actions so you feel okay enjoying some songs, good on you, I guess. I can't and I won't.

Except Jesse Lacey is a real person who really fucked up real people's real lives.
