About this album
Your Favorite Weapon (2001) is the debut full-length album by Long Island-based band Brand New.
The album consists largely of power chord-heavy pop-punk songs, detailing the highs and lows of teenage relationships and experiences. As of 2009, the band has begun to perform some tracks from this release more frequently, such as “The Shower Scene”; “Jude Law and a Semester Abroad”; “Mixtape”; “The No Seatbelt Song”; “Seventy Times 7” and “Soco Amaretto Lime”.
The song title “Seventy Times 7” in Your Favorite Weapon comes from a verse in the Holy Bible - Matthew 18:22 - where Jesus tells Peter he must forgive his brother “seventy times seven times” - “Then Peter came and said to him, “Lord, if another member of the church sins against me, how oft should I forgive? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy times seven times.”. The song is about a disagreement between Jesse Lacey and childhood friend John Nolan, then-guitarist in Taking Back Sunday. Taking Back Sunday later released “There’s No ‘I’ in Team,” which is their side of the story. Lacey and Nolan are now on good terms again and are well past the issue.
A line in “The Shower Scene” (which itself is a reference to Alfred Hitchcock’s film Psycho) which reads “It’s time for you to choose / The bullet or the chapstick” is an allusion to a speech by Malcolm X entitled “The Ballot or the Bullet”.

It's a pretty embarrassing listen. It oozes high school and suffers for it.

I love it, but of course it isn't their best. It's the perfect soundtrack for a movie about high school problems.

every other brand new album takes itself too seriously, this one is actually fun to listen too, the others are painful and I'd rather listen to SDRE or something like that

This album is definitely underrated. I dunno if it can hold a candle to Devil and God and Deja Entendu, but I prefer it about tenfold over Daisy.

So fucking high school! But c'mon it's not as bad as I expected, it's actually pretty good! I got to know BN with TD&G, DE and Daisy (in this particular order) and people always told me their first album really sucked in comparison to their more recent stuff.... but I kinda like it!

For one, I'm happy they changed their style after this record, as this is my least favorite Brand New album, but this is what all pop punk albums should strive to be. For one, it doesn't have that whiny, high-pitched vocal style. The musicianship is raw yet tight. This isn't your cookie cutter album. This is solid stuff.
