other side of the crash is the first track on the album so no...

Though as you mention it, i bet a trend of doing it kicks off now Brand New are doing this live.

their set owned all at the Bamboozle on Saturday.

i'm pretty sure he meant just album to album, which is chronological.


and last of the year? wow there are still 7 months left in this year

no, im just retarded. hha. thanks though - the way i wrote it did make it seem i meant per album.

Makes sense. I've seen them 3 times in the last year, as opposed to having never seen them in the past.. 4 years.

Dudes deserve some time off. Plus with them leaving Island, trying to find a new label, etc., this should be good for them.

I love this band

DAMMIT I want to see Running from the Rain live!

Autumn Leaves is a perfect song, IMO. So are many other Thursday tracks.

i am excited for things to come.

those songs all seem sad. (these are short and not well-researched because i need to be doing homework and don't have time to fact check):

-Autobiography of a Nation - [FC] inspired (plagiarized from?) the michael palmer poem, "sun." about misusing resources, being disillusioned with the state of the world as a young person (maybe?)
-Understanding in a Car Crash - [FC] a friend who died
-Cross Out the Eyes - [FC] losing your identity
-Paris in Flames - [FC] inspired by a movie about the stonewall riots
-For the Work Force, Drowning - [WATT] disillusionment with society and the fear of having to settle dodwn and get a real, mundane, pointless job (or something along those lines)
-Signals Over the Air - [WATT] trying to come to terms with sexuality and be comfortable with it, refusing to accept stereotypes about sexual identity, among other things
-Divison St. - [WATT] about a street in new brunswick where a lot of geoff's friends lived/hung out and that he blamed for their descent into harder drugs and bad decisions to cut the hurt and avoid being angry at the people themselves. about feeling like how your whole world can suddenly fall apart and not be at all what you thought, inspired by finding a girlfriend cheating on him with people who did drugs, then being stabbed in the leg during a mugging
-This Song Brought to you by a Falling Bomb - [WATT] being in a relationship and trying to escape the real world with all of its problems and just wanting to be with that one person and forget about everything, the most political song off war all the time
-Asleep in the Chapel - [WATT] losing your religion, kind of. hoping that there's still something there you just can't feel it or believe it
-The Love Song Writer - [ACBTLD] how cliche loves songs are and they're more about "ownership" than actual love. they're fake. inspired by a jonathon lethem story
-At this Velocity - [ACBTLD] (idk, the infamous plane story he told at the beginning on warped?)
-Running From the Rain - [ACBTLD] written kind of accidentally, completely a result of not practicing or writing music for the band, just noodling around together. possibly a more cathartic resolution/second half of counting, idk
-The Other Side of the Crash - [ACBTLD] sequel to understanding, describes same incident from a different perspective

*Encore*
-Jet Black New Year - [Five Stories Falling] inspired by label troubles, just about life sucking. maybe.



idk those were probably too vague/wrong for it to actually help decipher their meaning. i hope nothing is wrong with the band or anything. i guess they've taken their break from too much touring. now they're taking their break from too much songwriting. after this they should be good to go! and maybe we'll get a new album sooner than expected from it

Agreed, that song is perfect. I'd love to see them live, too.

For some reason, there's a force of nature that blocks me from seeing them. Four times now, I've had tickets to see them, and something ridiculous happened that day -- either the show got canceled due to something on their end, or I got deathly ill, or my car died -- to keep me from going. I'm kicking myself for not <em>finding</em> a way to the last one, down in Brooklyn, even if I had no reliable transportation.

*sigh*
