I love Brand New's music and kind of hate everything about how they do business.
Just fucking make more vinyl. You know what you're doing.

IT'S OUT!
Now the 3 of us who care can discuss endlessly. I'm on song 2 now.

It's very good and they did make more vinyl, so I'm less mad.
451 and Batter Up are my favorites. Desert is haunting.

Downloaded the rip when it hit, then preordered the CD. I've listened to it all the way through 4 times, then put Batter Up on repeat for a few hours (best song).
Slow burner.
Pretty sure Batter Up is a reworked Untitled jam. I'm bummed that Sealed to Me didn't make the cut, but its omission gives me hope that they could release more stuff in the future? Surprise double album?

Really dig this. The songwriting and tone is phenomenal. Def sets a mood.

Hell yeah, this album is great. It's all the best parts of the other albums. Very appropriate final album if this is actually the final one.

Fuck yeah dude. The last time I saw them live it was the loudest, heaviest set I've seen in a while.
And Jesse Lacey uses ss/bs pedals and probably shitposts here.

^I caught BN in 2012; incredible show. The shirt I bought that day finally fell apart on me a couple weeks ago. They were here last year with Modest Mouse but I couldn't make it.
After listening all weekend I'd say SF is at least as good as Daisy, maybe better, and just under Devil/Deja/Demos. (Weapon is At The Bottom but I still like it). Still hoping they have more to release before calling it quits.
Best tracks: Lit Me Up, 451, Batter Up.
Weakest: Never Be Heaven.

This belongs in the "unpopular album opinions" thread.

Was it the two of you who went round and round for nine pages on the new Refused album?

Talk about a vindicating read two years later.
