The I'm Holding Out On The Daisy Leak Until Sept 22

[RiCCioLi]

Just curious, is anyone else still "Daisy" free still? I've been dying to hear this album for years now and once word of the leak hit last Saturday I was like oh shit gotta hear that right now. But then I remembered I told myself months ago I would not download this and listen to it early because this album is something special to me compared to any other leaked album. It's like peeking at your christmas presents early and then when it becomes christmas day its just not the same. I'm not strictly doing this to support BN because even if I did download it last week, I've had it pre-ordered for the last few weeks. Just dont want to hear it and then be like "okay now I have to wait four more years to hear anything new from them."



So basically; has anyone not caved yet and still not heard Daisy and as excited as a school boy for it? And I dont care if you heard it and think its not great, dont come in here to say that.

And sadly; I have heard the live versions of Bride and Gasoline and bought At The Bottom on itunes (which i also was trying not to do, but caved)

[tbone0329]

all ive listened to was at the bottom. ive completely avoided anything else new from them cause i want to keep the anticipation up to buy the album

[kbi the crowing]

all ive listened to was at the bottom. ive completely avoided anything else new from them cause i want to keep the anticipation up to buy the album

this exactly
I want more effects like in at the bottom

[I'm DC]

I told myself I wasn't going to listen but I came home drunk and found it had leaked and couldn't resist.

[Colin1755]

iv held out!!!!!:-)

[EvilZeppelin]

I didn't but I don't feel so bad because I ordered it on vinyl..

[FueledByFrodo]

Fuck that. I don't feel bad ever for downloading a leak. I always buy the album anyway.

[Sventhegreat]

I told myself I wasn't going to listen but I came home drunk and found it had leaked and couldn't resist.

Haha same thing happened to me.

[cirerelleum]

I've only listened to youtube videos. seeing as a preordered it, i never saw any harm. now that they're all of youtube tho, i mayt have to download it.

[Shatter_Glass]

gave it one full spin through. The roommate was blaring it. I'm just waiting for a scene release now :shrug: I tried holding out.... I held out for Vheissu and The Devil & God....

I pre-ordered the shirt bundle so. I can't wait to find out the address where I can send my two dollars in.

[MyWorldEntire]

I've listened to At The Bottom, and watched live videos of Bride, Gasoline, and Bed. But I've waited three and half years, I can wait another three weeks to hear the record.When I get my pre-order through the mail, I will be making a forty minute drive to listen to it.

[theguy77]

im holding off just for the satisfaction of not being part of the annoying hype wave that swallows this band. and anyway, based on what ive heard from other people whose opinions i respect, i'll be underwhelmed if im expecting another TDAG. so im just being patient and when it comes out i'll pass an honest judgment on whether or not i like it.

if this were 2007, i would have leapt on that leak and convinced myself that i liked it until i actually did.

[HometownHero]

I havent even heard at the bottom. I'm completely Daisy free. Buying it the second stores open

[Broden Terry]

I'm waiting. It's not all that difficult though considering I'm not a big fan.

[wewascontenders]

dumb dumb dumb.

[StormSnares]

wow this thread sounds cool...

[Chromefox]

I'm not touching it until the 22nd.

[HangsLikeHeaven]

Let's make a big deal about it.

[The Personist]

I don't want to listen to this bad album until the 22nd, or ever again. It's bad. Real bad.

[RiCCioLi]

Well everyone made a big deal about it leaking, so yeah lets make a big deal about this too.
proud of you few. only 18 more days. by the time we hear it, half the other people will have already played it out

[chipdip18]

I've only heard 'At the Bottom', and i haven't really liked it.

[Yellowcard2006]

I don't want to listen to this bad album until the 22nd, or ever again. It's bad. Real bad.
It's funny because I knew who posted that before I looked at the username. See you in the next Say Anything thread.

I listened to most of the songs on youtube. But I wasn't really hooked, I hear it's a grower. I'll probably buy it if it's like $10.

[Helpless]

Snape Kills Dumbledore

[zonto]

I am waiting for a couple reasons:

1. The leak is low quality and I want CD quality.
2. My new Grado headphones aren't shipped yet and I want to listen to this CD on them the first time.

[x1onexwo1fx]

Snape Kills Dumbledore

DAMN IT! I HAVEN'T SEEN THE MOVIE YET! (i actually have, but still.)

I haven't listened to Daisy either, other than At the Bottom and the live vids of Bride and Gasoline. Likewise, didn't listen to Beggars until the early digital release.

[Viva Sonata]

I feel like if I wait, I'm going to crate hype for it and then I'm going to be let down. It can go either way.

But I'll wait.

[Burn That Shit]

Later on a bed...

[ReignofFiction]

I'm still daisy free...I plan on buying it when it comes out, I'm also beggars free and plan to buy that also.

[IWasHerHorse]

Anyone waiting might be disappointed, it's pretty boring.

[miketheauthor]

Simply could not hold out...

[Burn That Shit]

Anyone waiting might be disappointed, it's pretty boring.

I don't think the people who even hate this record would call it "pretty boring".

;-) Since when have you not been part of the hype of this band? I'm on to you Ryan....:-d

[dejadevilgod]

Also, its definitely not boring.

[tyramail]

i haven't heard anything except at the bottom. i pre-ordered it and am insanely excited to get it.

[Back_in_Anger]

I'm waiting, too. I've only heard At the Bottom and I've had on repeat since it was released. It sucks because I can't go into the Brand New or Daisy threads. I want to know as little as possible. I'm so excited for Daisy I'm thinking about taking off work to sit around all day and listen to it. /fanboy

[Kill_the_radio]

Spoiler:

Daisy is a concept album and the little fox from the cover is the main character on a political quest where he's trying to prove Obama is the antichrist.

But Daisy (that's the name of the fox), dies at the end.

[Crowe41]

I've managed to avoid the hype and have relatively heard nothing about this album other than it had leaked so it will be a nice surprise. The real surprise will be if it manages to top Deja for me though.

[xxemo_kittyxx]

You people are missing out, but I respect sticking to your values.

[billyboatkid]

I gave in, but it was worth it.
Awesome album.

[God damner]

I told myself I wasn't going to listen but I came home drunk and found it had leaked and couldn't resist.

I shit you not the same thing happened to me! Althought, I never cared about waiting for the release date....that confuses me.

[eleven eleven]

Anyone waiting might be disappointed, it's pretty boring.
Nah.

[IWasHerHorse]

I don't think the people who even hate this record would call it "pretty boring".

I would, I don't hate Daisy; I just think it's okay, and kind of boring.

[The Personist]

I don't think the people who even hate this record would call it "pretty boring".
It's not that engaging.

[Burn That Shit]

I would, I don't hate Daisy; I just think it's okay, and kind of boring.

You must not have ears...haha. I can understand people not liking the record or it not being their thing, but boring? They throw a god damn wall of sound at you like every 20 seconds. Again, I could understand someone saying "Wow, that's pretty grating, i'm turning this off.", but boring?

Edit: sorry if i spoiled anything for someone reading this thread.

[Kill_the_radio]

People saying that this is boring should explain why they chose "boring" to describe this record. Maybe we're not listening to the same record ????

[The Personist]

It's boring.
It's boring because it isn't that great. When a work of art is exciting and engaging, it grabs you and pulls you in. This album doesn't do that. It has a lot of loud and soft parts, a great deal of discord, and is overall a very disjointed affair. While this may work in some contexts, this feels like it was going through the motions. The loud parts are louder than loud can be; the soft parts almost put me to sleep. The lyrics, too, are just contrived and uninteresting. Thematically, the album is almost the same as TDAG (without the Kate Flynn bit). What the band have to say here isn't interesting. It's the same kind of "woe is me, I'm a horrible person, existence is wicked and evil and painful" shtick. It's not monotonous by any stretch, but I'd certainly say it's boring when what it conveys is fairly cliche, and the means through which this is conveyed is ultimately not particularly effective. It has its moments, and it's got some good--GREAT, even--musical instances, but overall it's just uninteresting.

[Burn That Shit]

I guess I just don't agree David. I feel that the record is more dynamic, has its lyrical moments(just as every brand new album has terrible lyrics and decent lyrics), and flows much better than any other album the band has put out. Maybe the album is catering to my taste more than you (I love losing my hearing while listening to this record, I really do), but I think that it is at least a good album, if not great.

Understandable. I honestly love Vices, Sink, and Gasoline. I just don't think the album as a whole is very successful, and I wish it weren't such a crapshoot at times. It does, however, flow very nicely. I just don't think they played their strengths (the heavy bits) enough at all.

Right on, those are my favorites too. I agree about them not playing their heavy bits, kind of bums you out going from these huge, dense sound walls to a song like You Stole or Bed. Makes me kind of wonder if that was a conscious decision on their part to cater to their fans rather than actually make the record they wanted to make like they said they did.

I was so excited when I heard "Vices" for the first time, and then completely apathetic by the time "Bed" was over. It was really, really frustrating, because my first impression was FANTASTIC. Vices is basically the song that should have defined this album, and yet they kept trying to play to two aesthetics that they just can't make work together that well. Also, the lyrics (as I've said over and over again) really killed it for me. The rhyme scheme doesn't work at all, especially given the sound and the delivery of some of the most cheesy rhymes I've ever heard.

[the_click]

i personaly like the whole feel to the album, but as u say the "bed" was quite a let down after vices.

Definitely agree. Such a good album.

Totally agree, I didn't hate it but I didn't find it engaging.

/posting information in a thread where no one wants to hear it.

[Ismael182]

This band means alot to me, and the experience of listening to TDAG the day before it came out on a CD was spectacular. I intend to do that again, so I've held off on listening to the leak. Listened to At The Bottom 4 times, really like the song.. and glad to hear other people have patience and discipline to wait til Sept. 22 too.

[milli626]

i was trying to wait for this but i caved in yesterday .. i got sick of hearing about other peoples opinions and i wanted to be able to form my own .. besides ive got it on preorder and im seeing them play the day after the release so i kinda wanted to be familiar with the songs they play .. im going to have to listen to this alot more before i can really know what to think.

[mmmmmpoetry]

this reminds me of an AA meeting

It's cool that you dislike this so much that you're gonna go into every Brand New thread to say the same shit.

[vaguestcargo]

this reminds me of an AA meeting

lol no joke

[Thesleepingwell]

I'll wait for it to come out on 22nd.
It will either be bought on iTunes or at the local HMV store.

[RiCCioLi]

I love how this thread basically turned into people's opinion of the record.
THIS THREAD WASN'T INTENDED FOR YOU!

[Ismael182]

^ Yeah I know.. unfortunately I've heard a bunch of crap I'd rather not have heard. So I'll think I'll probably d/l the song "bed" alone since I won't be so letdown after "vices" cause i'll have heard it already cause apparently it seems to be the universal opinion that it's a letdown.

After Vices honestly "bed" is a nice mood change (a break basically). In the end, I find myself skipping vices the most out of any songs on the album, it's quite in your face.

The only complaint I could understand people have with bed is it is somewhat repetitive and doesn't quite build up like some of the other songs on the cd.

Thanks for that, thats made me decide to remain daisy-free and not listen to any of their songs..except for at the bottom (cause c'mon, 1st single) which I've heard 5 times.

[RiCCioLi]

stop talking about songs please. discuss them in the daisy thread

[Shaned]

I wish I had that kind of willpower, I held out for a few days until I started reading impressions everywhere. I threw on Tdagarim today after listening to Daisy and it was too exhausting.

[Lost Glories]

to the OP good idea. i wish i did. i got bored within the first 15 min.

[COTA]

more power to you man, good luck!

[jooses]

im waiting too. my best friend tried to get me to listen but i preordered the cd from a local record store since i get to see the band perform free when i pick it up on the 22nd. I feel its worth the wait for one of my favorite bands. Has it really been 3 years since devil and god?

[bobcatbob18]

I'm holding out on it too. As much as I'd like the hear it, going into the Daisy thread makes it easier for me to hold out. Not to mention, I want to hear a GOOD quality version of it.

[unclerigormorti]

i would much rather see these guys doing something ambitious like this, rather than just cater to what people want to hear and release the same album over and over...or have one track "define the sound" of the record. that would be super lame.

this record is a worthy addition to their catalog. grats to those of you with the will to wait.

[fly_guy]

Ive listened to At The Bottom 30 times, but thats it. When I saw that it leaked, I wasn't even tempted. Im waiting for my pre order and thats that.

[fly_guy]

The only real thing I know about the album that I've read is that Vices is crazy and there is a girl singer on a song. Im getting so excited now.

[live.]

I didn't see the point in waiting after I read that Jesse told people to listen.

[katieeeeeeeee]

i'm waiting as well! this thread has me so excited to listen to vices.

[Neo Cassady]

I haven't heard it, and don't plan to rush out and buy it the day it comes out. OMFGZ what's wrong with me?

[DejaNew]

I listened once. But I hardly even payed attention.

[zubinmoosa]

I havent even heard at the bottom. I'm completely Daisy free. Buying it the second stores open

:nod:

[zubinmoosa]

I listened once. But I hardly even payed attention.

hey dude I'm moving into Western right now lol

[DejaNew]

hey dude I'm moving into Western right now lol
That's sick man, you're going to fucking love it there. Partying this week will be the craziest thing you will ever see in your life.

[RiCCioLi]

JUST PICKED UP MY COPY TODAY!!! (record store got it today and sells it early)
So glad I held out, very worth the satisfaction. Can't judge the album yet cause I've only heard it once through, but im already repeating it now so thats a good sign!

vices scares me lol

[Inc.onsolable]

I listened once. But I hardly even payed attention.

This.

[zubinmoosa]

3. More. Days.

[c_rob2700]

I listened to "At The Bottom" like 2 or 3 times, that's it. Not really that hard considering I find leaks to be stupid and don't ever feel the need or see the point of downloading one. Some of you really need to learn self-control and preoccupy the time you spend "anticipating" albums like this and fill it with the many other great releases that are always around. Trust me, the release date will just kind of come out of nowhere

[The Personist]

Shut the fuck up. Stop fetishizing your fucking music.

Good point, though I disagree.

[Jake Denning]

I'm not really a giant brand new fan, but I think I might give Daisy a chance; I liked TDAG, they are coming to the biggest venue in Portland w/ Manchester, could be cool.

One of the regs at shows I go to has the spaceman tattooed on his calf, it looks really cool.
