BRAND NEW RELEASED AN ALBUM???
Honestly, I really like it from the first second (just opened it now). But I really appreciate music that focuses on internal rather than external structures. What I mean is that I think the people who make up Brand New make their music to talk about what's interesting to them, and other people liking it is just a happy result from that.
Other ideas:
The bass is pretty good from the get-go, too, which I appreciate. I like that there's a weird mix of low-fi and high quality sound going on, though at times it's jarring.
The keyboard (or whatever instrument is making those sounds) going on is great.
The vocals have gotten stronger & more concise
Overall, good stuff! Really gives me The Perfect Circle vibes but friendlier/more hopeful
