Ahh, well I don't care for Brand New at all, and they've barely broken the decade mark.
I don't have the time it takes to recover from the day
I sit and moan and mope and groan and never have my say
A crown of thorns from which is born a little baby bird
To fly away and have its day is nothing but absurd
Brand New is not bad, but they're not really in the vein of the truly great bands. They're just a neat little indie band that never did anything quite amazing, but still managed to put out solid stuff. That's my opinion, though.
right now i'm looking at my playlist with Chuckles in it and i'm coming to a conclusion that The Tent and Down Without a Fight are the only songs i can listen to with clear consience. the rest is just... completely not in my music taste, to say the least.
oh well, one year after the release almost passed, one/two/three to go...
after listening to the album for a year i guess these are the only songs that i can listen.
Another Tribe
Upon Returning
Down Without a Fight
The Ornament
TTLY
Kalathat
Where i'll end up.
Before it Began might be their worst song to date.
For me, the only songs on the album that don't get skipped if they pop up on shuffle are:
Somebody is Laughing
Down Without a Fight
Kalathat
Where I'll End Up
As for worst dredg song to date: The Tent (the chorus edit version is better, but still extremely weak)

Funny, The Tent is one of my favorites. Not the vocal edit, either.
It's just a rhythmic mess. Parts of it sound like 14 year olds experimenting with time changes. It drags very badly. There is just no dynamics to it, which is probably a result of the poor mixing/mastering that washed all emotion out of most of the songs.

"Sun Goes Down" and "Where I'll End Up" are my two least favorites on this album. Everythin' else I enjoy to varyin' degrees. I think it started off strong, but around "Kalathat" the energy level just drops off.

How many dredg fans does it take to change a lightbulb?
Seven. One to change it, five to complain that the old one was better, and one talk about Gavins weight.
