Is Deja Entendu This Websites Album of the Decade?

[walshknilb281]

If people had to define this website with one album this decade what would it be?

Im guessing Deja

EDIT: after a few responses, I'm asking what do you think the album that defined this website, not if you agree with what I think, gimme your thoughts

[Burn That Shit]

Fuck no.

[HYGz]

:yawn:

[SophGod]

TDAG > Deja. without a doubt.


though neither are album of the decade.

[walshknilb281]

Fuck no.
gimme it

[Chromefox]

Please God no.

[IntoTheSun]

ehh nah.

[walshknilb281]

TDAG > Deja. without a doubt.


though neither are album of the decade.
I tend to agree, I think it is better but I'm just saying the album that defined this website this past decade, can anyone really argue anything else?

[mulcahy67]

people wouldnt define the entire website with just one album. that would be stupid.

and if they did go with brand new, they would go with their masterpiece, not their stepping stone.

[SophGod]

i bet half the users here or more aren't even huge fans of brand new

[walshknilb281]

i bet half the users here or more aren't even huge fans of brand new
yea but those users wouldn't agree on the same album

[mulcahy67]

......which is why this website wouldnt and shouldnt have an album of the decade.

[walshknilb281]

......which is why this website wouldnt and shouldnt have an album of the decade.
it will though, and you know it

[HometownHero]

Its not mine. Not even my favorite Brand New album

[Genuma]

staff wise, probably.

[cinderandsmoke]

Yeah, Brand New's my favorite band, but that's definitely not their best.
TDAG could be the album of the decade for a little less than half the users, maybe, but you could never define a universally loved album for AP. There are so many conflicting opinions here that it's hard to pick just one record that defines all the users.
But for me, obviously, TDAG has been the record that really got me into music other than Fall Out Boy and shit. The most influential record I've ever listened to.

[DryEarth]

Was Deja Entendu released by Aiden? No....

[Sic Transit Zeb]

I like TDAG better than Deja, but Deja shaped how I view music so I would say yes, Deja makes sense.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Yeah, Brand New's my favorite band, but that's definitely not their best.

That's what Deja did to me at your age.

[Sic Transit Zeb]

Makes sense. I mean, TDAG for that me when I heard it as well, it's just I had Deja as my 'gateway drug' per say ha.

[cinderandsmoke]

That's what Deja did to me at your age.

Yeah, a lot of people feel really strongly about Deja. I liked it when I was younger, but it didn't do a lot for me. I just don't think the time was right, you know?
TDAG was something totally different and strange and foreign for me and I loved every second of that first listen.
It made me realize that music doesn't have to always sound "pretty" and I liked that, haha.


edit: I deleted my last post because I thought it was a bit ramble-ish. Hahaha sorry. I think it was what your last post referred to?

[Formatfun]

I think Deja is one of the albums of the decade for this website. But for me personally it's FOB's FUCT and The Format's Dog Problems.

And I think choosing just one album of the decade is way way too hard.

[oddwithoutend]

The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is what brought me to this site, and is probably the best album that this site tends to like.

[TheOtherAndrew]

This website's? Yeah, its up there.

[murrich]

This websites favourite album of the decade, is without a doubt, Mosaic by Woven Hand.

[pennie]

I laughed at the over the top reactions "oh jesus christ fucking hell no"

[introduction]

judging by how it performs in polls, it is without a doubt the strongest contender for it, if there was an album of the decade, which seems like a silly idea. you can't define a single year with one album, let alone an entire decade.

[theguy77]

The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me is what brought me to this site, and is probably the best album that this site tends to like.

a lot of posters on this forum tend to like OK computer, which is about 3.8 times the album TDAG is.

but out of the bands this site covers most specifically, TDAG is for sure the best album created.

[SanePsychotic]

Well it sure as hell isn't mine, even though I like Brand New. I'd have a hard time picking a single album to reflect this decade. I don't see why people would want to; narrowing down a decade's worth of music to one album seems stupid.

[pennie]

Well it sure as hell isn't mine, even though I like Brand New. I'd have a hard time picking a single album to reflect this decade. I don't see why people would want to; narrowing down a decade's worth of music to one album seems stupid.

That's irrelevant to the question.

[SanePsychotic]

That's irrelevant to the question.

Way to go, +1!

[pennie]

Way to go, +1!

Thanks love

[tyramail]

i really don't think you can decide just one album to define this website. but i'm sure brand new and radiohead would come close, although i think the devil and god would be the album, not deja.

[kbi the crowing]

If people had to define this website with one album this decade what would it be?

Im guessing Deja

EDIT: after a few responses, I'm asking what do you think the album that defined this website, not if you agree with what I think, gimme your thoughts

ask Tate

[saveferris]

I don't even like Brand New that much.

[Tautou107]

TDAG > Deja. without a doubt.

Thissss

[patpratt]

Deja pretty much got me into the music i listen to now.

[mecataylor]

I agree that it should be The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me, Deja Entendu was great, but just not quite as fluid. And Raging is just amazing.

[BulleTheory]

NO, it should not be any album from BN..come on people, seriously?

[BulleTheory]

maybe for this website, but you people dont realize that this website takes up about .00001% of the music community.

Add Stay What You Are by Saves The Day and that's a pretty good list.

that's completely irrelevant, because the question is about this website. there could be two people on here, it wouldn't matter.

So? The question pertains to this website.

You are supposed to round up to the nearest integer.

[Matthew Tsai]

Brand New is in general awful.
Deja Entendu is awful.
This site worships both.

So to answer your question, OP, yes. Despite BN being awful.

Sophomore year of high school, I went to a movie with a girl who I liked and she turned on "Barbie Girl" in the car on the way there (she drove, mind you, because I'm a bum), and I realized at that point in time I would either marry this girl or hate her very existence. The relationship lasted barely over a week.

in the context of music predicated entirely on rock instruments, yes, OK computer is a masterpiece. lol

The great thing about OK Computer is that while it is very complex and developed, at the same time it is very mainstream, radio ready and easy to listen to. Sometimes I find myself getting into OK Computer more than Kid A.

oh, i totally agree. im just always stunned they can start from mildly abstract building blocks, throw in a billion mini details, make it dynamic and tense, and then record it in a castle, and then its a catchy rock record. like, wtf? hahaha

They recorded in a castle!? That makes it even more of a badass album. The only thing that tops that is Sigur Ros recording one of their albums in a room holding a swimming pool(for some reason I can't think of the word for this haha).

hahaha well i was exaggerating a bit, it wasnt a castle but it WAS like a 19th century mansion previously owned by someone of very high status and royalty in britain. the vocals in "exit music (for a film)" were recorded in a narrow stone stairwell and a lot of the full band arrangements were recorded at the same time in ballrooms and shit, thats how it sounds so spacey and meshes together so well.

hahaha close enough, that's still really rad. That really does explain how songs on OK Computer have their unique atmospheres.

[theguy77]

hahaha close enough, that's still really rad. That really does explain how songs on OK Computer have their unique atmospheres.

really though the album is such a technical marvel, ESPECIALLY "paranoid android" and "climbing up the walls" for me -- the former because of its ridiculous chord progressions and SOMEHOW smooth and accessible melodies over the top, the latter because the production is so densely layered and dynamic leading up to the most dissonant and powerful climax ive ever heard in non-orchestral music.

[x1onexwo1fx]

that's what the polls are saying. deja entendu is the most favored brand new album. the only other band that might beat brand new in a poll is blink 182.

i never really agree with most of the views of this website (is a real boy better than in defense of the genre? gtfo!), but i have come across some very good bands while i've been here, and i think brand new was one of them.

i think brand new is one of the most popular bands on this site among people who love them as well as people who love to hate them. everyone has heard them and everyone has an opinion about them.

some of this post might be irrelevant. whatever.

IARB is infinitely better IDOTG. The ladder is inconsistent and drags out for too long.

[x1onexwo1fx]

IARB is infinitely better IDOTG. The ladder is inconsistent and drags out for too long.

latter. not ladder.

i can see why people would favor iarb over idotg, but saying it's infinitely better is a bit much. i think the good song/bad song ratio for both is the same, but i like idotg's style in general a little bit more, even though it is longer and kind of all over the place.

edit: for the used, i liked their s/t over ilad because ilad was too all over the place. sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[nkalldayyy]

for the website: TDAG
as for me: Death Cab For Cutie - Plans

...in the pop-punk scene. too bad the pop-punk scene is probably one of the biggest gimmick heaps of the past 10 years, i'd say IARB had very little competition.

note: not to say that pop-punk is inherently bad or has no potential. just... most of it is.

[mymomsapanda]

i love TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS!!!

[straylight70x7]

I would say Deja would be in the top 3 for this website and I think it would be the definite front runner along with Tell all your friends, and ...is a real boy. Let us not also forget Three cheers for sweet revenge. Not to say I actually liked that album but there was a 6-12 month period where MCR was the biggest band in the scene.

Personally, mine would be some combination of Come on feel the Illinoise!, Deja, In Rainbows, Tell all your friends, Piceresque by the Decemberists, Full Collapse, The Con by Tegan and Sara, Nightmare anatomy by Aiden (Kidding), Trainwreck by BNO (not kidding)

Oh man. This reminds me of that time I went to the mall with this cute guy freshmen year of college. During the trip, he played a mainstream pop song in the car and I realized at that point that I would either go to the extremes of either marrying him (which isn't even legal!) or murdering his family in front of him while he was bound and gagged before slitting his throat based entirely on his enjoyment of this pop song! The relationship lasted two days, his mother's torture lasted nine. She was a tough old bird.

Dookie came out in 94, so it's not the most important album released this decade, but it's existence in this decade makes it the best anyways.

Uh, there's so much pop punk that's better than IARB released in the last ten-ish years.

Teenage Bottlerocket, the Exploding Hearts, the Lillingtons, the Riverdales, the Methadones, that Descendents album that came out this decade, the Queers, Off With Their Heads, etc. have all released really rad Pop Punk this decade that is far better than anything Bemis has ever made.

note: not to say that pop-punk is inherently bad or has no potential. just... most of it is.
If I only listened to Powerpop jocked by AP staffers, I suppose I'd think the same thing.

Also, most Punk has inherent pop-elements to it. "Most of it" negates the fantastic barrage of Pop Punk that inundated listeners in the first wave of Punk in the '70s and some of the fucking rad bands that came from them in the '80s.

no one has mentioned Bleed American by Jimmy Eat World..

easily one of the best albums of the decade.. if Clarity was produced one year later, it would have been in the top three of this decade with ease.

Can you stop blowing my mind for a second?

[seconds elapse]

Okay, I think...I think I can process this now. Whoop. Hold on, it's still...it's just really overwhelming.



It's ok, take your time. You'll get it someday.

[Burn That Shit]

I can't be a hipster. I actually like eating.

EDIT- though not as much as Evan. His stomach is like hipster antimatter.

hahahhaha

[Fentoooozler]

Some day, when I've intellectually grown enough to appreciate such complicated matters as internet acronyms, we'll lulzerskates all over teh lawlercoasta and burf on fart fart brap poot. This is heavy stuff!

Which one are you?

Well, no, you can lulzerskate. That's ridiculous. You can, however, LOLerskate, ride on LOLercoasters, and be diagnosed with Cerebral LOLZy.

See the difference?

[kearn1tm]

Well, no, you can lulzerskate.

I know. That's what I'm saying!

Fuck, I meant to say "can't". Typing error on my part. Unfortunately, you can't lulzerskate.

Oh, have you ever tried the Beef LOLmein? It's delicious.

...in the pop-punk scene. too bad the pop-punk scene is probably one of the biggest gimmick heaps of the past 10 years, i'd say IARB had very little competition.

note: not to say that pop-punk is inherently bad or has no potential. just... most of it is.

dude, we get it. you listen to sufjan and read pitchfork. this site lives and breathes pop-punk, so if you dont like it or find it gimmicky, dont post on here? (besides that fact that despite the countless countless shitty bands that ruined the genre, there is still quality music that comes out of it.)

You just said almost the same exact thing he did, except you made it seem like Pitchfork and Sufjan were bad things.

[Chris92]

for the website: TDAG
as for me: Cab For Cutie - Plans
Whoohoo! I like the way you think!

As Cities Burn >>>> Taking Back Sunday

[Chris92]

Seriously...as best I can gauge the opinions on this site (no one really can)...
If we go by users the obvious picks would be:
Brand New - TDAGARIM
Radiohead - Kid A
Sufjan Stevens - Illinoise
Say Anything - ...IARB
TBS - TAYF
b182 - untitled
Vheissu

By staff:
either Deja or TDAGARIM....prob. TDAG
Say Anything - IDOTG
FOB - TTTYG
*maybe* American Idiot...idk
Vheissu

Personally, here's my shortlist:
TDAGARIM
TAYF
the aforementioned Plans
AK3 - Good Mourning
MCS - Commit This to Memory
Deloused in the comatorium - mars volta
yankee hotel foxtrot - wilco
idk what else...

[Chris92]

As Cities Burn >>>> Taking Back Sunday
Naw...sorry.
And anyway...I'm pretty sure WAY more people on this site would consider something by TBS to be an album of the decade than As Cities Burn.
And that IS what this thread is about.

[Theseventhson]

No, they wouldn't.

[Chris92]

One way or another, that's what the threadl's about.

[Chris92]

No, they wouldn't.
Fine. I'll make a poll. We'll find out.

[nkalldayyy]

Whoohoo! I like the way you think!
:thumbup:

thanks!!!!

[Nick Le]

im quite surprised nobody has brought up anything by As Cities Burn.
I think it's cause they're not that big of an AP band, but Hell or High Water is near the top or at the top of my AOTY list and that and Come Now Sleep will be on my decade's list for sure.

As Cities Burn >>>> Taking Back Sunday
I like this.

[spoonman159]

Agreed. Come Now Sleep should undoubtedly be on the decade's top albums list. Personally I prefer it over Hell or High Water, perhaps solely because i've listened to CNS more.

[Chris92]

Surely not because they're ATROCIOUS?
I officially WITHDRAW this comment...I was operating on insufficient information, as I had heard very little of their material since Son I Loved You... After doing a little research, I believe I will be purchasing their newest album tomorrow, as I definitely liked what I heard.
:hitself:

[IWasaCamera]

haha

[theguy77]

Uh, there's so much pop punk that's better than IARB released in the last ten-ish years.

Teenage Bottlerocket, the Exploding Hearts, the Lillingtons, the Riverdales, the Methadones, that Descendents album that came out this decade, the Queers, Off With Their Heads, etc. have all released really rad Pop Punk this decade that is far better than anything Bemis has ever made.


If I only listened to Powerpop jocked by AP staffers, I suppose I'd think the same thing.

Also, most Punk has inherent pop-elements to it. "Most of it" negates the fantastic barrage of Pop Punk that inundated listeners in the first wave of Punk in the '70s and some of the fucking rad bands that came from them in the '80s.

i didnt mean REAL pop-punk, silly. i meant the scene kind.
