Brand new-Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades (WMA)
Ah,
Brand New. You New York pop punk-femo-screamo (almost) kids and your catchy songs. I'm not even sure if I'm supposed to like you, but I do. Perhaps it's the conviction in your voice and guitars and that little screamo bridge, perhaps it's the unusual stand point in this song, the boy who
didn't want to have sex because he loved her too much, perhaps it's just that you perfect that angsty teenage feel without going overboard or into that mindless trendy state of Hawthorne Heights-ism, perhaps it's the lack of eyeliner and stupid haircuts...either way, this song is wonderfully done and this band is wonderfully talented. And, it's wonderfully suitable for wrapping up the year. Well, sort of, anyways.
