Your Favorite Weapon
Brand New
Ahh if I had a quarter for everytime I've been told "It's just poppy Kill Your Girlfriend Music" It is, but does that automatically make it bad? NO SIR.
Brand New are an amzing band, but only get recognized for The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, because it has "emotion". Well YFW is full of emotion as well, and even though it's more "juvenile" then their other albums, it's still amazing.
The Alfred Hitch**** refrences mixed in with Evan Lacey;s biting lyricism are a deadly combination, as you can see in tracks like Jude Law and a Semeseter Abroad, and Magazines. The Cue help out as well Logan to the Government Center, using "Close To Me" was a great idea for Brnd New.
There are no misses on this album, and ending with Socco Amaretto Lime perfectly closes out the album wrapping up everything they've been trying to say since the album started
