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”.
