    One of my favorite albums of all time. I thought after Deja Entendu that no other album could be held close, then they release The Devil and God. A bit darker, deeper and emotional than their first two albums, but I think this is really where Brand New found themselves. I am still at a toss up between this one and Deja as my all time favorite, but needless to say, this album is amazing.

    By far my favorite album from Brand New. This effort takes them farther from mainstream and a little less accessible but a much more in depth sound and feel to the whole album. Much more emotional and raw than Deja Entendu and yet still catchy in the same way. Definitely a must for anyone who likes good music.

    When asked what 5 albums I would take one a deserted island with me, this one is always on my list. It has been ever since the sound waves hit my ears. There's not a song on this album that I dislike even the slightest and that's very hard for me to find. I usually like the majority of songs on an album, but there's always one or two songs on there that I don't care for. Brand New really set the bar for themselves, unfortunately for 'Daisy', too high. They've hit a mark and I have faith that they'll raise it again--just not sure when that can happen. Best album I've heard in years.

Description

Brand New have specialized in pain ever since the pop-punk emo-rage of their 2001 debut release Your Favorite Weapon. But they've outdone themselves on The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me. If the songs on Weapon were paper cuts, the ones here are gaping chainsaw wounds, full of seismic, howling agony. The moody rumbles of 2003's Deja Entendu were pointing here, but this is something else, with Mogwai-level dynamic range and tracks that careen from introspection to fury and back again. Lyrically, lead singer Jesse Lacey's words remain excruciating and harrowing things, but that's nothing new. It's the music propping them up which gives this effort such depth and punch. "Degausser" starts so innocently, then uses a bridge augmented with a bitter children's chorus straight out of The Wall as a lead in to Lacey's bitter refrain of "I'll never say anything right." Then there's the nearly 8-minute "Limousine (MS Rebridge)," epic, and epically sad, constantly threatening to descend into pure cacophony (and eventually succeeding). Repeated listens will tune your ear to the band's still-intact pop sense (especially on "Not the Sun" and "The Archers Bows Have Broken"), which keeps the record lively and unpredictable, and away from becoming a depressing, head-in-the-oven mope. Brand New went through three years of intense recording sessions to make it happen, but it was worth the effort. --Matthew Cooke
