This band is by far the most genius band ive ever listened to!! they're lyrics are un-real!! I LOVE BRAND NEW!! and if u dont have the album, go cop that

I don't see how any band could make an album better than this. Brand New's "Deja Entendu" reaches out to it's listeners by more than your typical catchy lyrics with no meaning. These catchy lyrics make you think and appreciate the talent of Brand New. These Brand New lyrics sum up their band. "Yes we admit to the truth, we are the best at what we do. And these are the words you wish you wrote down. This is the way you wish your voice sounds. Handsome and smart."… Expand

This cd is great! I love it! Not one song on this cd I don't like! FaNtabULouS song makin!

This is the best C.D. ever made! I love Brand New and all of there song! they are the kewlest band yet!

This album changed my life.

Without doubt the best album I've ever listened to

My album of the year so far.

The album is a masterpiece. It must be the best album to released in the last decade. Lyrically, it blew me away. "Deja Entendu" is a work of art and I hope that Brand New continues to produce the best music in thei genre. I just can't get enough of this album.

I like it. Deja Entendu is a fajillian times better than Your Favorite Weapon. Thank God.

there is not one bad song on this album. brand new is so diffrent from every other band out there. this cd is absolutly amazing.

One of the best punk albums to come in a long time, Guernica is a complete masterpiece

Still as powerful and angsty as 'your favorite weapon', but far more clever and unique in sound: sic transit gloria glory fades is a perfect example of this. vocals jumping from speaker to speaker, and a well matched instrumentals which compliment the vocals rather than fill in the empty space for when they are absent. the new sound is far better and unlike 'your favorite weapon' i find it much different then the works of taking back sunday. i liked their old sound, but the new unique sound fits their name far better. this cd's beats their debut hands down.… Expand

This cd has to be one of the greatest cd's EVER. I can't believe how good it is. I've barely listened to anything else since I got the cd, which was about a month ago. The lyrical notation is amazing and so are the lyrics. But the music is what really blows me away. If you don't have this cd, get it!

Deffinitly a 10, these guys are so awesome. I got their cd almost a year ago from now and been listening to these song since. It's like you cant get sick of these guys, cause their just so great. "I Will Play My Game Beneath the Spin Light" is a FANTASTIC song. One of my favorites, even though all of the songs are my favorite.. haha. I love the lyrics to each of Brand New's song, cause they're not like any others. I got hook on the phrase in the song "Okay I Believe You, but my Tommy Gun Don't", (Oh my tongue's the only muscle on my body that works harder than my heart). I also love the chorus to that song cause they just slide on into the chorus. and it sounds great. I only hope that this band keeps making many more cds. I will buy every single last one. You guys are so talented keep on producing such great music. You guy are my favorite band forever!… Expand

This is a fantastic album. They mix hard hitting hit songs such as Sic Transit Gloria with slower but still meaningful songs. I love this album, and I will be watching for future releases from BRAND NEW!

This rox!!!!!!

Brand new is the best band I have ever listened to. When it comes to how much I love them it almost makes me cry. literally. omg. they are just so great. The boy who blocked his own shot. Whoa...that song just literally blew me away. Sic Transit Gloria...Glory Fades is unbelievable. hell, all their music is unbelievable.

Brand New poduces albums, not songs. They don't have singles because every song on there new and old cd have something new to offer. Seventy times seven one of my favorites.

I've listened to this cd SO many times and these guys are just kool kats, their lyrics are clever, they sound different in every one of their songs, and they have just wonderful style. Although it's hard to choose one fav song from a brilliant album like this, I think I'd say mine is #10 "Good to know that if I ever need attention all I have to do is die" haha even their song titles rule… Expand

Pure genius! A remarkable addition to the the brand new scrapbook. can you rate this disc anything less than a 10? The answer is no. It's impossible.

The sophomore effort from Brand New is their best yet, and will be a hard act to follow for the rest of their carrer. Listen to "Jaws Theme Swimming" or "Okay, I Believe you, but my tommy gun don't" if you want indistpuable proof.

This is the best C.D. ever! any body who does not like this C.D. has the worst taste in music ever! Their song are the kewlest! its like they know excatly how I feel about every thing and made song about it! I love Brand New!!!

They are the kewlest!!!

This has to be one of the best albums i've heard. Both musically and lyrically is fantastic.

amazing and poetic

Amazing cd

This album is straight up genius! Each and every song is brilliant and the lyrics are amazingly deep. On disc they sound terrific, and seeing them live is even better. This album has it all. I will always love this cd and I try to listen to at least a few songs each day. Thats how great it is.

i think its awesome, but guernica is its only weak point. cant get why everyone likes that one

the combonation of poetic soothing lyrics and sound with enerjetic punk makes this definitly my number one this year. "ok i forgive you.." is the best

Amazing fallow up to Your Favorite Weapon. Way over my expectations! Brand New will remain my Fav. Band, no doubt

I recently lost my niece iun a car accident & her boyfriend, her only love died the winter before. The video to the quiet things that no one ever knows has given me a certain kind of peace. It has made me realize that her 1 true love was there in the end....You guys r awesome!

"i think its awesome, but guernica is its only weak point. cant get why everyone likes that one" You should listen to the lyrics. The answer lies there. I haven't heard BN's first album in it's entirety, but I can tell they have broken out of that cliched shell they were in on YFW and present something new and refreshing. I hope they keep it up. They can go far if they do.

I can't seem to stop playing it. Best album of the year!

this cd is AWESOME!!!!! and so is brandnew

I luv sic transit gloria...just love the spin on the guy wantin somethin more than sex for once ;)

its awesum!!!!!!!!!!! i luv them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

...fresh and emotional, deep but catchy

The underlying brilliance on this CD is that Brand New has fused the mall-emo cute-boy-breakup formula of Saves the Day, The Get Up Kids, Midtown, et al. with the poetically damaged edge of Thursday, Jawbreaker, and virtually the whole Saddle Creek roster. It's formulaic on some levels, it's poppy; but so were the Beatles, Nirvana, the Sex Pistols, and virtually every other act of artistic signifigance. If "Deja" had come out on a major label with the promo push of say, Avril Lavigne, it would have been hailed as an instant classic/masterpiece on a par with "Nevermind". The other side of the signifigance of this record is the lyrical subject matter. Cursive's "The Ugly Organ" showed us the perils of self-refferential songwriting as it pertains to indie "celebrity". However, where Tim Kasher created a pageant of his neurosis, Jesse Lacey creates a cage match. The raw, self-examining edge is still huge; but it hangs together much more conveniently. The substance is still there, but its far more relient on subtext and subtlety than on magnification and bombastic scenery. Overall, Deja is a seminal CD; on the same par as SDRE's "Diary" and ATDI's "Relationship of Command" in terms of signifigance to what the next wave of bands will sound like and explore, at least in the mall-emo/pop-punk realm. Provided they're up for it, and everything I've seen in interviews indicates they are, I could see these guys bringing subtance back to the realm of multiplatinum records. … Expand

Ultimately my favourite CD of all time because it is so full of emotion and meaning and creativity...

deffinitly a 10 nothing less becauses of there creative emotion filled lyrics the rock live!

too good

The second album by the only strictly emo band who are willing to think out of the box is although lyrically amazing feels slightly empty. It doesn't leave you wanting more which i imagine was what was wanted by the band but needing more.

I really like this cd.

Right I hate emo.... But I love this album, its delicate yet hard, funny yet sad and cheesey yet original. This is one of the best albums I have heard EVER! Buy it.

I buy two CD's a week so I own hundreds (everything from Michael Jackson to M.I.A. to Thursday) but Deja Entendu remains one of my all-time favorites. I'm sort of dissapointed by its low rating but that shouldn't deter anyone from buying this record. The depth of Jesse Lacey's lyrics are reason enough to buy it. Not every band can sell over 500,000 records on an indie label and have a third release so eagerly awaited that it ranked as AP's most anticipated release in 2005, a year and a half ago! This is amazing work.… Expand

This is emo's "Pet Sounds."

Incredibly over hyped crap...fanboys unite.

brand new is too good for you. I doubt any of you guys really appreciate them. Don't try to compare them to anyone else and don't try to classify or put a label on them. Nooch

geez, if i could rate it better i would. this album is just so freaking amazing. i love it!

Freaking awesome.

brand new is one of the best bands ive heard theyr theyr new cd is awsome and i am im love with theyr lyrics i always look at them and ive like memorized every song i cant get enough of it i rly am hoping that brand new will make it big so that more people can listen to theyr great music

This album is amazing.

this CD rocks i love Brand New they are very lyrical

brand new isn't even emo. i'm from their hometown and my best friend lives across the street from them. i go to school with his little brothers and sister. they're def the best band i've ever listened to. they're not too hardcore ..they're just right. i love them so much and i hope they keep playing music for a really long time =)

best band ever. love. guernica is a good song, what's your deal with it? jesse loves his grandpa.. get the hell over it. deja entendu is awesome. yfw is awesome. brand new is AWESOME!

wow this was way better than their first......can't wait for the third album

more power to this cd because fav. weapon was a cheesy peice crap. i feel these guys are way better than the stupid bands thier compared to (tbs)(dashboard confessional)

the most poetic album of the last 10 years

Honestly one of the best cds I have bought, Probably the BEST. The lyrics on this cd are very powerful. Every song on this cd is incredible. My personal favorits are "Okay I believe you, but my tommy gun don't" and "Play Crack The Sky".

hate or love emo, the album is an accomplishment. lacey emulates his hero, morrisey, in more ways than one.

Brilliant. It is only eclipsed by The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. Also, not "emo." All the critics are ridiculous to give it ratings under 90.

If this album doesn't move you by first listen, go back and listen to the lyrics. Then get ready to sell your soul to Jesse Lacey's pen.

7.5 out of 10. Great CD, well crafted songs, poetic lyrics. If you don't know, deja entendu means already heard. that is true, this isn't anything new. however, they do things better and more refreshing than 90% of their peers. my one gripe is it feels like they are still trying to establish their identity. they toy with a lot of slow songs, kick the tempo up at times but i don't really get the impression of a specific sound as a band. Their two singles track #2 and #5 demontrate they do rock well, but then they venture into different soundscapes. once they put out a more close knit, collective sounding CD they will be one of the best bands around. period. … Expand

Lyrically, it's a powerhouse. I'm not one to listen to this kind of music, but I'll be damned if Brand New can't write a song/album. They've continued to impress me in a genre that holds no interest with me. Every song here is brilliant.
