Discography Ranking - Iceage: 3.My second to bottom pick is the band's debut, New Brigade. From this point on, every album the band has released has been my favourite for that year, which is a true testament to how great they are and how much I love this band. I didn't always love this album though, I originally didn't care for it all. It is undoubtedly their most brash with ballistic instruments clashing all around as Elias provides the soft spot in the middle with his voice carrying more melody than ever (a trait that would quickly change). The production here is the real gamechanger for me: once disregarding it as being too clunky and muddled, I have now gained an appreciation for it as I think it provides a nice meteoric atmosphere to contrast Elias' raspy, melodic vocals. One of the greatest debut efforts ever in my opinion. ♯punk ♯postpunk ♯rock ♯punkrock ♯iceage ♯newbrigade
