My girlfriend showed me this album. God damn this is a solid 9/10, maybe even a 10/10, but I'm really not into the rest of her music, mostly pop punk and what not.
I already listened to Daisy and Deja, liked them but not as much as this. What's a good path to go from here?
Fight Off Your Demons, officially released as Unreleased Demos 2006. Your Favorite Weapon is pretty good too imo. They've only had three songs since Daisy: Out of Range, Mene, and I Am a Nightmare.
Other artists I'd check out are Modest Mouse, Built to Spill, Slint, Red House Painters, Sun Kil Moon, Neutral Milk Hotel, Jawbox, The Smiths, and Sufjan Stevens.

Taking back Sunday The lead singer for brand new is a huge douchebag
Elijah Carter
You're a fucking idiot
Gavin Adams
>not emo
Wyatt Cox
i mean not really, but mewithoutyou is a good band. also la dispute and touche amore. have fun
Zachary Nguyen
Is this 2001?
Cooper Lewis
Jesse Lacey is a god amongst men mate Don't be talking shit
Austin Gutierrez
I already know Taking Back Sunday is another one of her favorites, not really my thing as far as I've heard. We actually saw BN live with Modest Mouse at Merriweather Post Pavilion on the floor, it was a fucking awesome show. Already familiar with Slint, NMH and Sufjan too, but I'll check out the rest and this Thank you friends

Try Daisy. It's the album that came after The Devil and God. Brand New take on a much darker and heavier tone as well as abstract subject matter. It's been received with lots of mixed reviews but I think it's great. Definitely wanna play in loud in quality headphones or in your car. Other albums that I'd recommend that are not BN related:
The Shepard's Dog - Iron & Wine Figure 8 - Elliott Smith Pinkerton - Weezer Bleach - Nirvana (if you haven't already heard it) Put Your Ghost to Rest - Kevin Devine Mean Everything to Nothing - Manchester Orchestra You in Reverse - Built to Spill
Alexander Morris
Why You In Reverse?
Henry Young
have fun with your mislabeled pop punk bud
David Gutierrez
are we talking about Your Favorite Weapon because that's Pop Punk, not TD&G
Jaxson Cook
is there a better Built to Spill album?
Michael Thompson
It's not bad but I think it's generally agreed that YIR is one of their least-good albums, it just strikes me as a worse version of Perfect From Now On
Christopher Evans
Brand New is embarrassingly almost all I listen to. Just listen to other stuff I listen to. I probably love them the same reason you do.
Doesn't one of the songs on YFW rip off Distopian Dream Girl?
Leo Foster
Yeah, lmao, Failure By Design. That's why I assume it's one of his faves. And he's covered Car a couple times live, I think a cleaner one of it was also a B side for the Quiet Things single.
Joshua Rogers
how the fuck is Failure By Design a rip off of Distopian Dream Girl. Just trying to weed out the autism before it gets out of hand. Don't even tell me the riffs sound alike because that's not true.
Oh they are definitely inspired. I'm not saying it's a ripoff, I'm just saying it's definitely something they were listening to at the time. Jesse has never tried to hide that he takes a lot of blunt inspiration, but they turn it into something completely different. Like some of the lines from Degausser were from a Roky Erickson song, Noro follows the same structure as another of his favorite bands, Archers of Loaf's Dead Red Eyes, stuff like that. He even sometimes sings the lines from Yellow during The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot because he knows he used basically the same chords. Those chords are also the same as trailer trash by MM.
Ryan Evans
no u. the first 4 chords might be the same but they're completely different riffs.
Benjamin Gray
some specifics by the way
Modest Mouse - Life Like Weeds One of my all time favorite MM songs (and songs in general), it has a lot of the vibes from Out of Range too. youtube.com/watch?v=o3QeEvgMG1s
Carissa's Wierd is a different genre but I think they're some of the only who can capture the same emotional level, it's different though. But if you love one I think you'd love the other.
