Perhaps. Although the Syph also brings tons of hilarity.
As for Coming Home, I'd definitely say it's one of their best. I think I like Sticks and Stones a bit more, but only because that's the album that really got me into NFG.
Either way, I was absolutely in love with "Make a Move" for all of last summer. So masculine, I know.

how can you judge if it's pretentious though? faux-indie's sort of a harsh term. just because you want to add more depth to simple songs, i mean thats just expanding your creativity, it doesnt always mean you're trying to be the new revolutionary thing. i for one cant stand songs to be too simple.

Why? Why are you doing this again? This was mostly in jest, but here we go.
Faux Indie? Because it's not visceral or organic but a direct product of their influences. Brand New didn't add "depth" to anything Neutral or Pavement or Radiohead did. If anything, Lacey's version is much more simplistic, streamlined and accessible...and filled with throwaway pretentious babble meant to be meaningful as opposed to Mangum, Yorke, Young, Fawkes or Bachmann who actually were meaningful.
Oh, wait, I see what you're asking now. Here's the reason I made the joke: Pop Punk is much more honest about what it is than Brand New.

whatever im not arguing this again. i dont see anything wrong with a pop-punk writer wanting to add more to a genre of music with invisible "rules" which limit his creativity. its not dishonesty its valued production. i dont know why people like you want to go and classify it as stupid indie instead of intelligent pop-punk with the INFLUENCE of indie.
and TDAG is a different argument because that isnt a pop-punk album.

You've completely missed the point...like, entirely, which is fine, because I often have trouble conveying my sentiments in a coherent, non-rambling manner. I apologize. Here's what I meant:
Nobodies saying it's wrong for Brand New to imitate others as opposed to constantly adhering to the Pop Punk/Post-Hardcore sound of the Long Island and Jersey scenes that bred them. That's fine. However, interviews with Lacey where he has this self-aggrandized vision of his work and his penchant to produce "cryptic lyrics" in a vain attempt to sound like his predecessors when, much of those same lyrics are throw away lines that aren't necessary and mean nothing (essentially, pretentious posturing), along with the absurdity of many of their fans leads to this disingenuous and bolstered view of themselves. "We're different and transcend our roots."
Sure, great, but Pop Punk and the shitty, contrived bands that litter the scene never pretend to be anything other than fun, infectious, mindless pop bands. Brand New, again, conveys this self-aggrandized sense of importance when, in fact, they're merely an adequate amalgam of bands that are much better than they are. It's dishonest. They're not much better than the Pop Punk bands they were once associated with, to be honest.

When Lacey's at a show, giving me and everyone else there a ten minute lecture on how Degausser was written and inspired, and yes, in interviews where he spouts off this self-importance about how the "scene is dead and we've transcended it into this new realm," it leads me to believe that, through the actual words he's said, he thinks his band (you know, the impression he's giving off...from what he's verbalizing) is much greater than it is.

I'm not judging Lacey as a person. He may be swell. He may be the cat's pajamas. He may be an awful, horrid, smelly man. I'm saying he seems to think as highly of his band as many of his misguided fans that blow them up to these mythic proportions. As for interviews, try that BBC one, I'm sure there's a transcript for the BBC interview he did after TDAG was released, or the AP cover interview where they blew themselves over how awesome Deja was. This is what I'd perceive to be disingenuous.

Firstly, I've never made an qualms about enjoying Brand New. I do. I really do.
Secondly, do you know the Gallagher Brothers personally? Would you say they're egotistical, or at the very least, have a distinct image of their band that may not be merited, despite not knowing them? In relation, I don't Jesse, but from what he's said, I think he has an inflated sense of self-worth in relation to his band. I'm not claiming Brand New is a "bad" band, merely a band that isn't nearly as good or visionary as they portray themselves to be, and when Jesse conveys a sense of cavalier trail blazing when his band's identity is comprised of other, better bands who did what Brand New has done prior to TDAG and much, much better/meaningfully, then yes, I think it's disingenuous for them to tout themselves in the way I've read/heard from them as opposed to [insert AP-fav Pop Punk band] who plays the music they play, and never upholds an affectation of it being anything but fun, contrived, minimalist music.
Now, if you disagree, that's your prerogative, but when you get so blatantly defensive, it makes one wonder if you're a BN fanboy, as you'd assume I'm vehemently against Brand New and have some agenda against them when, in actuality, I enjoy their music.

i think what he means by this is brand new are not going to sit there and lock themselves into one genre, like countless other bands who started out pop-punk, because of a failure to appreiciate anything outside of a scene. its one thing to enjoy writing that music and the community it provides among similar bands, but to close yourself off from all else is just ludicrous and an example of musical immaturity, as well as a lack of appreciation for musical individuality. even if they do sound like countless indie bands who have done it before, they're still better than a band in the scene who does the same thing becuase they're expanding the ground of music they cover and thus diversity.

Yeah, it can be a subjective interpretation of what he's trying to say, but ultimately, I think, at least to an extent, Lacey cultivates the hopelessly devoted and narrow-minded "cult" (for lack of a better term) that believes Brand New are these unparalleled, subversive geniuses despite how much he apparently doesn't enjoy them.

mehhh. its like this. we got two fill-in members, but 1) they're both in other bands 2) this isnt the style of music they normally like to play. plus they wouldnt work anyway because one's a massive pothead (which, i dont judge him for, but it can mess up the band if hes high all the time) and the other one is only good at traditional playing and sucks at the unusual methods required in underground music.
but thats not all. my drummer only likes pop-punk and mainstream hard rock. while we're writing pop-punk we work well together but i want to do different things like indie, post-hardcore, folk etc. later and he wouldnt like any of it, we'd butt heads a lot. the only reason im still in maryland is because of my band but since none of these members are going to work after this album is done im probably going to move to florida soon and start my band over there.
