Hey, this is pretty cool. I took me a while to "get into" this record but now that I've heard it a couple of times, I'm starting to appreciate it more and more. One can describe "Your Favorite Weapon" as a journey that takes your through every corner of the punk-genre. And the trip starts with "The Shower Scene", an indie-oriented track that reminds me of Seaweed and Samiam. Further down the road then, "Sudden Death In Carolina" sounds like early Alkaline Trio. "Failure By Design" is more powerpop oriented, think Bloodhound Gang or Alien Ant Farm. You want something bouncy in the vein of New Found Glory? Skip to "Secondary". You'll even come across two acoustic tracks. This record does not have an ultra-polished sound, it has a lot of rough edges, and that's what makes it so neat. Brand New sounds very pure, very authentic.
