Features [email protected] BRAND NEW Josh Kleine Deters Features Editor The thing that has been lacking in the musical worlJ this side of metal is th~: ingenuity. With the death of the '90s came a stagnant period of recycled ideas and bands searching for the next way ro outdo the Jesus and Mary chain or try and patch the gaping hole that MTY has eiq,loitc~ in what was left of the pure side of popular culture. One-hit wonders, cheesy boy bands and ''artists" who strictly play songs that were written by members of Semisonic or Silverchair be.:ause their bands can't sell their own music; all these things have left the beast of alternative music to bleed out, leaving room for popped-out "country" hits and talentless hip-'.hoppers to take its place-- and not to say that it isn't trying. It's been pathetically clinging to bands like the Fuo Fighters and Coldplay to keep it off of desperately needed life support, most of which have lost what little creative steam they had left. It is with this disenc~antment in mind that I approach new music; somewhat hopeful but generally pessimistic. i\nd it is despite this disenchantment that "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me" has taken its place as the temporary messiah of rock music. Brand New is evolving. They thrived in the early 'OOs with a melancholy pop punk throwaway entitled, "Your Favorite Weapon," then followed with an unexpected keeper, "Deja Enten~u." "Deja" brought a new sense oflyrical_ intuition to the band, even on top of that which it already possessed. Tracks like "Sic Transit Gloria" and "Jaws Theme Swimming" began to startle the teenage "TRL" loving fans while drawing many more not-so-typical fans, myself included, to this more accessible record. The album did, however, retain s_ome of its cookie·cuttercatches and a few too many pumped up emo choruses to even it out. Three years later, Brand New steps out of the recording studio fully matured and free of their pop punk stomping grou~ds. They enter the battlefield armed with introspective lyrics in the guise of clever rhetoric and are swinging a weighty album stocked to the brim with inventive genius. The first shot: "Sowing Season" is clearly the intentional expression of the wrestling t~"at lyricist Jesse Lacey has done as he tries to reconcile himself with his suppressed faith. The exact internal struggle is echoed perfectly in the balance between emotional high points ofvocal cracking and the settled-down, lonely guitar strumming that the song slides between. Reload: "Sowing Sea~on" leaves a bassy trail of itself to ease into the self-disgusted "Millstone." It's well-kept and extremely deliberate the whule way through as Lacey again fumbles through his spirituality. Six excellent tracks later and you can't believe you're more than half finished the album. ~Not the Sun" shoves Brand New's U2 influence to the frontlincs while Lacey's falsetto takes the helm. It's almost dancey even with the Rickenbacker hollow-body twanging in the background. In spite of the fact that the entire album is worth mentioning, the up-tempo beauty "The Archers' Bows f lave Broken" and the final push "Handcuffs" are truly star4; of the latter half, with "Handcuffs" sounding a bit like I Am Kloot's "The Same Deep Water" and "Archers" giving a nod to a pappier past. "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me" is a complete albmn. It is whole in its ideal~ and consistent in its flawless songwriting. This has the capability of breathing new life into the dying beast, this could really do it. Keep your ears open, rock music may finally stir itself from its deathbe.d and Brand New may be the reason.
