Best Records of the 00's - Brand New "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me"

Since we are about to bring this decade to a close, I thought it would be a good idea to spotlight my favorite records of this decade. I typically haven't been writing about music, as I'm honestly not that good at it, but I'd like to share my opinions on what records I think are awesome and write about it briefly. These records are in no particular order. Although with this one, it really is probably my favorite record of this decade.



After putting out two CDs that were either pop punk or emo or whatever you want to call it, Brand New released "The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me" at the end of 2006. I didn't get it at first really, the songs didn't grab me and didn't seem catchy enough. As I listened to it a few times more, they started to seep into my subconcious. Dark and moody with some interesting themes, I still find that three years later this record is still in my heavy rotation. Also, look for the demos to this album where all nine of the songs are called "Untitled".

Favorite songs: Millstone, Degausser, Archers
