Daisy is Brand New’s hardest album to date, the album has strongly been compared to the band The Jesus Lizard, which is a very fair comparison.  I was impressed with Daisy due to the clever lyrics done by Jesse Lacey which is always a constant with every album they put out and the fact that they blended so well with the harder music.

My favorite track on the album is “You Stole”, it starts out soft and moves into a louder faster tempo’d song, which is a classic Brand New attribute.  Other standout tracks are “At The Bottom” which was a great choice for a single.  Another song that kicks you in the pants is “Gasoline”, with this song they take a page out of David Bowie’s book with the lyric “he used gasoline to put the fire out”, I love when bands pay homeage to their idols in this respect.

I encourage all Brand New fans to pick this up when it comes out at the end of the month, just as “Deja Entendu” was a mature follow up to “Your Favorite Weapon”, “Daisy” is the perfect progression from “The Devil and God”.
