Does anyone still listen to Brand New, or is their legacy just utterly destroyed forever by the Jesse Lacey allegations? I find it hard to swallow that they released some of the absolute best rock albums of the 21st century (hell, best albums of any genre), and yet they will all be forgotten and shittalked forever now, all because of what Jesse did. It just seems so sad, bros.

It is sad what internet mobs have done to all entertainment but yes brand news demise is particularly shitty for me since I never got to see them live, missed them on three occasions for bullshit reasons beyond my control. I hope they reform or Jesse releases new music solo. Here's hoping.
i know what my own perception of their music is and that's what i care about. if anything jesse being a creep makes some of the lyrics that much more prescient, honestly. it's not some incongruous thing where he was moralfagging, the self loathing was there for what it's worth
pic related was probably the 2nd best album of the 2010s, I still listen to SciFi and Devil and God shamelessly
>sings for 20 years about being a shitty person
>people are shocked he was a shitty person 20 years ago
wow, imagine my shock. and what happened to forgiveness and second chances? dude was a little greasy 20 years ago, while he was young and part of a greasy music scene during greasy times. how crazy!
There is no statute of limitations in the coirt if public opinion. We are living under mob rule, get used to it.
I always thought brand new was for hipster fags, now that I know the singer isn’t a pussy I’ll check them out. Do I listen to the one with the Halloween people on the cover first? Help me bro’s
>Do I listen to the one with the Halloween people on the cover first?
The Devil and God, you mean? Yes, that's their best album.
Im listening to deja entendu right now
I hope he eventually starts his solo career.
