I haven't liked a Brand New song since Deja Entendu. This song is great. Really reminds me of Alkaline Trio.
It's not bad, but it's kinda bland to me. The bridge is my favourite part. Still excited for the full record.
Update - from the press release: The song—produced by Brand New and longtime collaborator Mike Sapone, mixed by Vince Ratti, and taken from the band’s upcoming release—will be available via all Digital Service Providers this week and can be pre-ordered now on vinyl. “I Am A Nightmare” comes in advance of Brand New’s upcoming Canadian headlining tour and American co-headlining tour with Modest Mouse. Emphasis added.
Not as good as Mene, which is one of my favourite Brand New songs but it's a really good song nonetheless and I'm very excited for any album info to appear.
The fact that they are selling this single as a 12-inch is dumb, a waste of vinyl and a massive money grab.
That opening guitar riff sounds like 2005 Indie. Song is not that great on 1st listen if i'm honest Edit: chorus is good, just not feeling that riff at all...
It's just the biggest waste I've ever heard of. Not a 45, not a 10-inch, but a full size record for one 3 minute song. For $10...
