This is one of my favorite albums by Brand New. The title came from a conversation the lead singer (Jesse Lacey) had with a fellow musician Daniel Johnston who suffers from schizophrenia. He described his condition as though it felt like "the devil and god were raging inside him""
This album reflects a shift in Brand New's music. Instead of a follow-up to "Deja Entendu", Brand New created an album that examined themselves, departing from their past two albums that tended to examine the world around them. Jesse has sought a new topic, moving away from the overwritten love angst, turning instead to self questioning.
Favorite Track:
Jesus Christ
