Earlier this week, Brand New launched a pre-order for their long-awaited fifth album, and today select people who pre-ordered it received CDs in the mail from their label containing what seems to be the new album. Someone uploaded photos of the package onto Reddit, and another person live-streamed the album on a private Brand New fan Facebook group, and from that others Shazammed it and discovered that the new album is apparently called Science Fiction and found some song titles: “Out Of Mana,” “In The Water,” “Desert,” “451,” and “No Control.” Here’s the album artwork:
