Because being opionated is one thing... being close-minded would be something like someone saying, "Summer, you are an idiot for liking this kind of music." I don't think anyone said that, is saynig that, or will say that. However, on some boards, you wouldn't be so lucky. Everyone's pretty nice here, really.

I can see the appeal of Brand New and honestly they're not too bad compared to most bands of their ilk (I mean, they covered "Car" by Built to Spill.. at least they have decent tastes), but come on... a Spiderland comparison? What a joke. Whoever made that comparison doesn't know anything about music whatsoever...


The singer does love Morrissey as well. Brand New could be played in a room and I wouldn't kill anyone but they aren't something to look forward to or call 'epic'. And spiderland? No. Never. Maybe Brand New might have had some potential but psh. I'd rather listen to Thursday.

Yeah, I actually think Thursday have some good songs.

i remember they were really popular with most the new jacks in the scene.

Those who came in here talking seriously about Joanna Newsom are just as cracked as summer is for praising Brand New.

And these are some of the same people who rag on the Pumpkins. :D
