for some reason i'm thinkin that these albums are totally non-comparable.

the bands were goin in two totally seperate directions

[Ghostpsalm]

but i went with deja anyway

cuz i like it

even though wiitb is an awesome cd

:D

They are pretty comparable IMO. Both pretty "influential" to the scene. For some reason I thought they should be compared.

my apologies good sir,

that is a very good point that i didn't think about. there are so many bands that cite those two records as being influential to their sound.

but i still choose deja haha. both are amazing

[lew_1987]

what is to burn everytime.

[Stereo Mike]

what is to burn everytime.
Most definitely.

Someone with the name Now Im Awake voted for Deja. Hmm.

[thatwasamoment]

Have to go with BN

[ManicanParty49]

WIITB is a rad ass album. But Deja is what got me through highschool without losing my mind. So I chose that.

[Poochemist]

What a tough poll. I chose Finch's album. It's overproduced but badass.

[Dan CiTi]

That is the point.

[SAOsurviveSTD]

What it Is To Burn is incredible.

[TSLROCKS]

i voted finch wiitb but does anyone actually think finch is going to win this poll

[IATA4224]

I voted for the third option, although Brand New is far better than Finch is.. What it is to Burn didn't really do much for me, but when they wrote Say Hello to Sunshine. they were definitely on to something.. Stop hating on Brand New because its the cool thing to do

[Branevember31]

Deja

[speakhandsforme]

I really wonder who will win this...

when will everyone finally realize putting anything related to Brand New in a poll is worthless

[MIKEY_HORROR]

What it Is to Burn

[altitude2k]

WIITB every time.

[TinMan20]

Deja...come on now.

[Stereo Mike]

Brand New is not the fucking be all and end all of music.

[Brokenhill]

Errg...you make me choose between 2 of my all time favorite CDs...

I went with Deja, because it is better quality I suppose, but "What it is..." may be more enjoyable.

[FrancesdaMute]

say hello to sunshine has some incredible highs, but a few songs spoil it for me. I picked deja, but wiitb is a monster of an album.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Deja

[omgjames]

i did thoroughly enjoy what it is to burn, but deja still kicked its ass. and say hello to sunshine was just shit, so i couldnt vote for that choice.

[gnp8472]

what it is to burn is a good record

but deja blows it out of the water.
there should be no contest here.

and any band that puts out Say Hello To Sunshine loses a little bit of cred just for creating such a worthless record

[gnp8472]

Brand New is not the fucking be all and end all of music.

true... but they make amazing music.
and finch made one pretty good record that had some great songs.. its really not comparable here.

[underthetalking]

Whoa whoa whoa. Say Hello To Sunshine is worthless but Define The Great Line was good? What the fuck?!

[underthetalking]

The more I see shit like this, the more I start to hate a band that I used to love dearly.

[Stereo Mike]

true... but they make amazing music.

I disagree completely.

[lew_1987]

no surprises that brand new won though.

[IATA4224]

I don't know.. I understand the poll, but i don't see how you can compare the two bands considering they are not in the same genre of music.. Now if you wanted to compare Finch to glassjaw or something like that, it may be a more competitive poll. But i think we all knew that Brand New was going to take this poll...

[etrox318]

so i wickedly like brand new, so i'm going with deja entendu. even tho i don't own that cd.

[love_american_style]

gee...i wonder who will win this poll.

/sarcasm.

[diane_emma]

That is definitely a hard choice, two of my favorite albums, but I'd have to go with Deja.

[arrowrushx]

what it is to BURN

[sasalukac]

wiitb

[xshesatiger]

ah now i have to dig up my old finch cd.

[Iamhome]

Shts And Tdagarim

[SeanEBoy2686]

both are awesome... brand new's first album was the more influential of the brand new albums. but i voted for finch bc i actually heard it before brand new's YFW

[NJUNDERDOG]

I really wonder who will win this...

when will everyone finally realize putting anything related to Brand New in a poll is worthless

exactly what i was thinking. deja is running away with this thing, what a shock.

[acor]

The margin of who is winning in this poll is the reason why I can only take so much of this website.

Did Brand New have absolutepunk mentioned in their liner notes for one of their albums or something? Holy crap people!

[loganmmm]

I get a lot of crap for this, but in my opinion,
Say Hello To Sunshine is Finch's better album, and Your Favorite Weapon is Brand New's Best Album.

[Chancetobe]

Well, the question was between Finch and Deja, but I saw TDAGARIM as a choice, so I went with that:shrug:

[I'm DC]

Brand New is my favorite band, but right now I would MUCH rather listen to What is to Burn

[unwritten]

To whoever picked Finch.....lol

[robz4]

Both are good albums, but I went for Brand New...in fact, I think Brand New are the better band.

[xxno_promisesxx]

Brand New will crush Finch in everything. "What It Is To Burn" is an amazing cd dont get me wrong but nothing compared to Deja. Both great bands but Brand New is love.

[Stereo Mike]

To whoever picked Finch.....lol
lolololol dey R s0 st00pid.

[garlicgirl1210]

there is no contest here. why deja entendu of course...

[namembal]

This was a very hard choice but I'm gonna have to go with Deja.

[allthruwinter]

Whaaaat? What kind of comparison IS this? Anyways, I used to LOVE Finch. What it is to Burn was one of my favorite albums of all time, and it still is, but it can't even touch deja. And say hello to sunshine was so horrible, I miss my old Finch. And I REALLY miss Randy, I saw him at an Rx Bandits show last year and it made my life.

[allthruwinter]

Brand New is not the fucking be all and end all of music.

Good point.

[yoyoninjagirl]

I always thought Finch was a pretty decent band, but I'm gonna have to go with Brand New

[LongDistanceDrunk]

There is currently 59 Brand New polls. Thats amazing

[fadedmemories]

What It Is To Burn is one of the best albums of the genre, but BN will never be beaten in a poll in AP

WIITB FTW
