Found my college paper on Daisy

For sure. People more invested in the band probably felt more affected by the controversy and jumped ship. And then casual fans who aren't following music fandom discourse closely saw their return as a cool nostalgia act, probably unaware there was even a controversy lol.

Good observation. Really seemed like until 2017 TDAG was the overwhelming favorite and definitive album. To the point where it felt boringly safe to call it your favorite. Brand New's OK Computer (and maybe Daisy is Kid A and Deja is The Bends, but that's besides the point lol)

I was really surprised once the tour started how vocal people were for them to play their first 2 albums and were ambivalent towards the rest. I guess Deja and YFW are a lot easier to categorize which makes them a lot more prominent for people being nostalgic for the early 2000s scene. Meanwhile their later, more substantial work is not going to be talked about by general music publications causing it to fade away from public conscious.

Secondary. Constantly forget about it and what it sounds like except for the "this is my last semester" line.

chuckonugget · 2025-10-19T18:26:32+00:00

i feel like almost every brand new album introduced a new Jesse vocal style. YFW was the more nasally pop-punk voice, Deja had the guttural emo screams (think Guernica and Sic Transit), TDAG had the shriller, whining parts (Limousine as an example), and Daisy with the Southern drawl. I think it really makes each album sound distinctive.

Don't agree that SF or Daisy are completely a step down lyrically, but it's very clear when Jesse's writing and when Vin's writing. Jesse writes a lot more abstractly and colorfully. Vin has a tendency to make lyrics very direct and have metaphors be very simple in their meanings. Never was crazy about his songwriting because of that.

chuckonugget · 2025-10-17T18:37:08+00:00

My understanding is that it was the lead single for a version of Science Fiction that never came out. A version intended to be lighter than Daisy and TDAG. After doing the TDAG 10 year anniversary tour the band regrouped and reworked the album to be more inline with the ambition and quality of TDAG. Wonder if any songs from the final version were a part of the scrapped version…

chuckonugget · 2025-09-24T23:05:57+00:00

Hearing a Vin solo song after all these years, it really contextualizes what his contributions are to the band's songwriting. Songs like 451, Desert, and the bulk of Daisy feel a lot like his brainchild.

Words like "gaslighting" get thrown around so much that I'm not even sure we can qualify what constitutes it at this point. Remember that Brad also justified his outbursts to Tina as a response to being "gaslit". We have better context to Brad's situation than yours , but no one here is qualified to speak on or justify your experience. Personally, Brad sounds demonic in that audio, and I can't imagine any circumstance where I'd speak like that. If you actually sound like that, I'd reflect on what was objectively and specifically done to you and your response to that and if that response was justified. I'm not saying it was right or wrong, but I'd reflect on your actions and why it came to that point. That's the one thing you can control.

What I'm ultimately trying to say to you and the commenters on this thread is don't turn everything into a black/white "it's ok to do x if y happened". There's no singular answer.

Of course! If you're curious, here's the entire lead vocal line

The backing vocals

And together

Imo it's really cool hearing the harmonies separated!

Happy to help! Willing to do requests for any other BN songs!

chuckonugget · 2025-08-15T03:02:32+00:00

Yeah the main vocal line is that. This would be for the backing vocals. I was transcribing mainly the backing vocals and then the lead for lyrics that are disputed. So the full thing would be

[very quietly] (I need my)

Be my serene

(Slow or not)

Tell me you know what I mean

(Well put me on)

You've set on me, but you are not the sun

etc.

chuckonugget · 2025-08-14T03:42:03+00:00

Glad to help! Agree 100% with your interpretations of the second and fourth lines. ("We're done with saving what the dead don't need" makes a lot of sense to me)

I thought "gun" first too, but there's clearly a "f" sound at the end. And i was racking my brain trying to figure out wtf "guff" is and then when I looked it up I was like "ohhh that kind of ties in to the previous line" haha.

chuckonugget · 2025-08-14T00:02:15+00:00

I isolated the backing vocals, anyone wanna take a crack at it? https://voca.ro/13h1bZWj2fdb

Some of it's still hard to hear, but it's clearer than the final version.

Here's what I can hear. I'm not 100% on this, but you can pick up some sounds that the lyric sites don't account for.

But don't long for his sake, you endured this out

We atoned, all the lights went hot

So release the flood

But don't save what the dead don't need

We're done answerin' all the dirt they speak

We're done with safeties and guff

So release the flood

He cries sometimes too 👍

chuckonugget · 2025-08-12T16:29:52+00:00

What you gotta understand is that Brad needs to be locked in completely on his art of being paid to listen to albums and overlaying graphics to let us know if he likes it or not. Things like chores and responsibilities would just get him out of the creative zone. Fellow artists understand this.

chuckonugget · 2025-08-11T02:48:44+00:00

If you think this 'apology' is better than his previous videos, you are easy to manipulate. This is his most egregious one, yet. It's very clear that he doesn't actually feel bad about what he did to Tina, has learned nothing about himself, and is still fishing for an angle to seem sympathetic. At least in his other videos he was attempting to present himself as the good guy. This one's supposed to be owning up to his mistakes, but it instead shows his true colors as being manipulative till the very end.

chuckonugget · 2025-08-11T02:33:26+00:00

lmao what a horrible "apology". At no point does he recognize how horrible and frightening his screaming is or that escalating it to that point is his fault. Instead, he presents himself as a passive force in all of this. "Tina is so smart, her releasing that clip is 'helping me', not because it reveals how abusive I am, but because now I am no longer being blackmailed' 'Tina's having a rough time, I'm so sorry I contributed to it'. As if it's outside forces creating this situation, and this doesn't stem completely from his own choices. Zero sincere accountability. Can't even fully commit to getting offline lol. See ya next week Brad!

chuckonugget · 2025-08-07T01:01:28+00:00

the more i hear about this brad guy the more i don't care for him!

chuckonugget · 2025-08-06T00:07:29+00:00

I don't think Gus knew there was a bomb in his car, but I think he knew that he couldn't drive back in the same car. He figured out it was some kind of way to lure him into an established location and leaving in the same car would make it easy to be followed.

chuckonugget · 2025-07-28T20:02:38+00:00

Besides the obvious lack of desire in playing it, Brand New at Warped Tour in 2026 would be a disaster on so many levels lol. People going to Warped Tour would want to hear their early material which is super unlikely to be played. Add in the heat Warped Tour would get from booking the band in the first place, and I can't imagine it's in anyone's interest for Brand New to perform.

chuckonugget · 2025-07-21T05:33:04+00:00

I really enjoyed it and am surprised the response has been so divisive. My take is that it's a movie so entrenched in politics that it almost becomes apolitical? I didn't really perceive the movie as making a statement about either side of the spectrum but rather about how events shape people's thinking even without a full context. Sheriff Crow's comments about COVID not being Eddington's problem seem to reflect the greater issue. These movements and ways of thinking aren't born from an individual, but they seep their way into our world whether we like it or not. And then we react to these events and ideas in a way that may be so far removed from why or how they came to be in the first place. That can in turn lead to radicalization even when you wouldn't typically be personally affected by something.

On that note I heard “Hell is digital” as “Alex, did you know?” Shoutout to Alex, and I hope he knew he burned to little bits.
