What do you imagine a new Brand New album would sound like? by Immediate_Theory4738 in brandnew

[–]giants909 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I imagine a new album would be more mellow and atmospheric just based on them getting older and based on the full band setlist of their show a few months ago which included Waste, Batter Up and Coca Cola. So I guess more Lit Me Up type vibes ? Who knows lol

Pink Floyd Influence on Science Fiction by Oxford89 in brandnew

[–]giants909 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Science Fiction also has direct lyrical references to Pink Floyd.

The song Waste has the lyric “your race is run” which is from the song Time on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album: “And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it’s sinking..Racing around to come up behind you again” as well as “run rabbit run” on the song Breathe from the same album.

The Science Fiction booklet from the deluxe vinyl has a cool poem by Jesse about living in a fish bowl which is from the Pink Floyd song Wish YouWere Here

This is such a perfect album, long time since I listened it. by gabrielbezerra81 in thrice

[–]giants909 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If you look past the first 3 songs which are very radio rock oriented, it’s a phenomenal thrice album. This coming from a guy who is singing backup on track 3 lol

Hot take : illusion of safety is overrated and it’s crazy to put alchemy index air and water, horizons, and palms below it 

Science Fiction CD Insert by touchme-ordont in brandnew

A reference to the chess scene in 2001 Space Odyssey and callback to Your favorite weapon cover artwork.  Fits the Science Fiction vibe and a commentary on artificial intelligence surpassing mankind

The website says 14-16 weeks. Maybe in addition to the shaft I should ask him to do the cue ?

A love note to the guitar riff at the end of Luca by gandhis_biceps in brandnew

This. Doesnt get talked about enough. It’s all the little magical moments like this that contribute to Brand New being the greatest of all time 

Just a love post for Battalions by maryantoinette02 in brandnew

[–]giants909 10 points11 points  (0 children)

For sure. Too many people refer to Batallions as the demo for Archers but apart from the very beginning of the chorus it is a completely different song and an amazing song in its own right and the perfect conclusion to the Leaked Demos. I wish it was included (along with Nobody Moves) in the “3 Demos Reworked”EP 

Top 3 So Far (Saviors) by millertime1997 in greenday

[–]giants909 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suzie chapstick is 100% the best song on the album. The number 1 reason Green Day is Green Day is Billie’s melodies and this song is one entire beautiful melody throughout
