A fantastic, eclectic blend of unique sounds
I think this CD is in its own way, different but equally as good as their previous 2. I've read the reviews some others left of this CD, saying that EC has done better - I disagree. Econoline Crush puts out a sound that no other band can claim to have -- their sound is truly unique, and their lyrics flow very well in most songs.

The two tracks that became moderately well-known radio singles, "You Don't Know What It's Like" and "Make It Right" were prodced by a different person than the rest of the CD and thus have a profoundly different sound - while these two tracks are good, they are more tailored towards marketing the band in a more mainstream way, so the songs, while original, are not as satisfying to me as the rest of this CD. Tracks like "Flamethrower" and particularly "Tomorrow Starts Today" have such fantastic medlys of sound and rhythm coupled with smooth lyrics that I personally can't help but sing along to make this one of my absolute favorite CDs.

I would definitely reccommend this album to anyone who likes industrial metal or techno-rock, but who is tired of the same repeated bland sounds over and over and song swith no meaning. EC has a sound that's all their own and despite what others have said, I think this CD reflects that.


Another bland release

This release is even weaker than their previous album as they forego rocking out completely. On this cd, their sound contains pieces from many different elements, unfortuneatly mastering none. With out a really stand out track that truely rocks, this release is very easily forgettable.

Sadly, this band tries to copy several influences without trying to be creative on their own. Nothing orginial can be heard on this cd.

Nothing to hear here, move along.


Adequate Effort for EC
. . As for the music, well, I've heard better from Econoline Crush. Both "Afflication" and "Devil You Know" have greater consistancy from song to song. That's not to say that "Brand New History" is horrible - it has some good songs (notably "You Don't Know What It's Like", "Sinking" and "May I Go") - it just has some really forgettable numbers. If you're a fan, it's worth your time and money to buy "Brand New History". If you're intrigued by the band but are not familiar with them, try their other albums first.


Terribly disappointing.

I was incredibly disappointed with Brand New History. I purchased this CD 'sound unseen', as the previous discs [notably Devil You Know and Affliction] were original, powerful ranges of sound which I kept spinning for days on end. EC has switched from industrial to pop-rock; however, the songs are not, taken by themselves, bad. One might expect to hear this CD churned out by any of the top 10 artists on the rock charts - which is the entire problem. Having come to expect a higher standard from Econoline Crush, I ended up with nothing but a Creed clone CD.
Better luck next time.


Good CD!!!
I got it yesterday and I have not stopped playing it. This is a great cd! They blend almost all kinds of music into one great CD.
