On a side note, for those of you who haven’t heard Brand New’s Deja Entendu, do yourself a favor and purchase it now. It’s a record that will happily live in your iPods for a very long time.

Brand New has given us another masterpiece with their follow-up, The Devil and God are Raging Inside Me. The melodies are rich, the lyrics are deep, and the issues of life, death, suicide, faith, and love are written in blood all over the liner notes. Brand New takes the daunting task of natural progression and makes it look as easy as a walk in the park. There are a few spots toward the second half of the album where the momentum slows up a bit, but tracks like Jesus Christ and Sowing Season (Yeah) will definitely carry this alternative rock quartet back into the limelight, if the demons inside don’t get to them first.
