Top 10 of 2009 - Music

5. Brand New - Daisy

Brand New are the opposite of New Found Glory. While NFG still purposely seek out that which made their early work stand out, Brand New reject their past flat out. And it's this rejection of their past work, especially the beloved Your Favorite Weapon, that makes their growth as musicians stand out. There really is no more polarizing band to see live.

Daisy continues down the progressive path they started with Deja Entendu in 2003, using both soft and loud sounds to convey anger, and piano keys juxtaposed with crunching guitars as chaos. While the album as a whole never quite gels the same way as their previous release The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me,this record still has what it takes to be top 5.
