Track Review: Mene - Brand New

       So, as you may remember from last week's post, I was nerding out over some new music that was released. Well, last week after that post was released, Brand New dropped a new song, titled Mene. This week, I will be taking the pleasure in reviewing this track that dropped very recently. As you guys probably already know, I'm crazy about Brand New. One of my favorite bands to the end. So let's get started.

Album Art for the Single, Mene

      They played this song live before it was released as a studio version, so I was already familiar with it. However, I have absolutely fallen in love with the newest released. It starts of with a drilling drum track, driving forward with a roll on the snare. This is backed by a three-chord guitar riff. Brand New, as always, does an excellent job of building up intensity. After a few seconds of this roll, they break into the cymbals and the first verse of the song. Jesse Lacey, the frontman, introduces the song with, "How does everything start and end? Come gather now and lay this beast to rest." His poppy vocals continue into the chorus, where he repeats the words, "We don't feel anything," backed by the same driving guitar riffage we saw at the start. This song follows the typical verse-chorus-verse structure, and ends with the repeated vocals.
      Overall, I am in love with this track. For their first music in six year, I am very very impressed. I rate this song a solid 8/10. Super super stoked.
