Album Review: Brand New - Daisy

09/17/09 at 11:49 AM by sean-reid

Today I finally got round to sitting down and reviewing the much-talked about 'Daisy' by Brand New.

I did it to the best of my ability and not from a fans perspective. If as a fan of the band, I won't over-hype this album, as it dosn't really deserve it.

I'm going to assume people on this site will jump and defend this album to death. That's fine by me. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I respect that.

However I also assume alot of these people are "fanboys (or girls)", who will defend a band no matter what they do. In their eyes the can do no wrong. But people have to realise no one or no band is perfect.

That is exactly what 'Daisy' is. Not Perfect.

Here is the review.
