While anything but novel, the follow-up to Brand New's emo-punk-blast debut Your Favorite Weapon features unexpected touches and wisps of maturity. YFW was all about the rage and misery of young, explosive love, presented with Weezer-like hooks. Deja Entendu isnt really over it yet; lead singer Jesse Lacey still sounds damaged and full of self-loathing on mopey, post-Smiths pop like "The Boy Who Blocked His Own Shot." But amidst the Jimmy Eat World choruses are experiments with sudden dynamic shifts and style (like Lacey channeling Adam Duritz for "Play Crack The Sky"), along with ruminations about the misery of cancer ("Guernica"). If Deja Entendu sounds like the work of musicians discovering their talents, it's also about learning that desperate heartache isn't just about girls who dont call back. --Matthew Cooke

We Really Havent Heard This All Before.......2007-04-03
Better and more mature than all the other stupid emo music out there........2007-03-17
With that said, let me talk about this album. Like I said, I don't like emo or punk music because of it's teenage angst lyrics and it's over the top and annoying yelling and screaming. I listen to Sarah Mclachlan, Hooverphonic, Fiona Apple, The Pretenders, and Cibo Matto, I also like classical music and film music. I have nothing against lyrics about sadness because I have a mental disorder so I understand unhappiness but I just don't like it when it's all about some high school crush who never called you back. I never really experienced that in high school because I had a more mature adult life in high school and still do. I herd Brand New's first album, Your Favorite Weapon and really did not like it because well you know why but when I herd this I was blown away, the songs are dark and atmospheric, great music to listen to on Halloween, it's almost like a more heavy version of Sarah Mchlachlan with its mature lyrics and melodies, oh the melodies are really beautiful, I don't have a favorite becaue all the songs are perfect. Wonderful lyrics about fear of all the scary things in this messed up world that is more serious than a heart break over a high school crush.
Great Album.......2007-03-12
Really good if you're in that mood..........2007-02-14
