Sorority Noise - You're Not As _____ As You Think (March 17, 2017) Album • Page 10

I hear the influence but I don't think it's overpowering at all. It certainly doesn't detract from the record to me.

 

oh it doesn't "detract" from me either, but to me deja influence isn't necessarily a good thing haha

 

I only hear Deja on No Halo but I do feel like they did use Brand New's signature "quiet-loud-quiet" a bit. More influence than anything.

 

agree. definitely Deja-era Brand New vibes all over this, that's why I'm loving it though.

 

I love the spoken word part. This is generally not the kind of music I listen to often anymore but this album is kind of the exception that proves the rule. Just wonderfully powerful and sonically interesting stuff

 

I love how dynamic and alive this record feels. Honestly production is a lot better than Deja imo

 

I need to listen to this hey?

 

i just finished the obsessives record and i definitely like that one more than this

 

Yes listen to this. One of the best records to come out this year

 

I guess you could say it's like Deja but for people who aren't still in highschool? It seems like a natural progression to me, rather than a band trying to sound like another band.
As much as I love Brand New I only ever really listen to the TDaG and Daisy. I think Mike Sapone should get a lot more credit for helping create the sound that has inspired so many contemporary bands that are finally getting a chance to actually work with him. Brand New was definitely the catalyst for that but I think even they are a lot better when working with Sapone. I mean, Sapone got a pretty good album out of Mayday Parade and Taking Back Sunday in 2015 and 2016 respectively. Man can work magic.

I'm actually listening to this now and St Sean reminds me of You Stole without the buildup a little bit haha.

 

I dunno about the Deja influence. Don't really hear it. Maybe if the singer sings every melody differently from the original recorded melody live. I donno. Maybe.

 

Maybe in 10 years he'll start singing with a slight twang or just scream all the soft parts.

 

going to check that one out front to back for sure

 

funny people are saying Deja bc Sapone didn't even do that one ha

 

I don't think it "wants" to be Deja--I think it wants to be its own thing and has some Brand New flavor because of their influences and Mike Sapone on production.

 

I hear as much Brand New/Deja in this as Motion City, in the sense that it doesn't really sound like them at all to me, but you can tell that Sorority Noise has been influenced by those bands.

 

Joy Departed has always kind of reminded me of Deja though.

 

I honestly hear more modern baseball holy ghost influence on this than any of the records/bands mentioned above

 

holy ghost is a much more fun sounding record than this

 

Is anyone missing "Where Are You?" from their preorder download? Mine doesn't have it...

 

hear it most on where are you and car section of the record

 

I definitely get MCS, probably more on Joy, Departed than here but still.

 

Brand new sounds like archers of loaf and the smiths had a baby so there everything copies everything but whatever

 

Thought the same thing when Car came on

 

Brand New wishes so badly they were even half as good as Archers of Loaf lol
