1. Brand New - Daisy

And so it begins

[Mariosux!]

I thought the majority of people here would appreciate Brand New.

I think Daisy is a monumental album, and their best work to date.

A lot of people here love Brand New. Most abhor the new album. After repeated listens I've concluded that I do like it, but would place it under both Deja and TDAG. It's a very controversial issue on here, hence my above post!

[Mariosux!]

Oh, now I see.

I can see why alot of people wouldn't be so keen on the record since it's such a major departure from their previous works, but thats why I love it so much. While I was never a big fan of anything pre-TDAGARIM, I still think they're a great band, and Daisy absolutely ordained that fact for me.

Haha I don't even care if I haven't had it that long, it's not often that a record really impacts me so fast. It reminded me why I love indie rock music so much.

I hate putting stuff I've listened to into lists. It's so hard (That's what she said). I thought this year was a pretty good year for music, despite the rise of crunk.

Lol no i just was curious if you found a leak. You must have been referring to Ursa Major, the album they put out in August. Ursa Minor is a collection of rarities that is scheduled for release in 2010. So if you indeed found it, I wanted to know where!
