Your Favorite Weapon is the debut studio album by American rock band Brand New, released in 2001.

Recorded and released a year after the band's formation, the album consists of pop punk songs about the highs and lows of teenage life.

[10] After a period of inactivity between Lacey, Tierney and Lane,[10] the trio formed Brand New in Long Island, New York, in 2000.

[10] The band self-released a demo and started gaining attention outside of their home state after touring with Midtown and Glassjaw.

[13] Fred from Triple Crown was initially interested in hardcore band Home Town Hero, a band that featured Tierney and Lane, but by the time Fred contacted Lane, Home Town Hero had been broken-up for six months.

The lyrics detail the highs and lows of teenage relationships and experiences and were described as being "bitter about ex-girlfriends" with a concentration on "post-breakup angst".

[18] "Seventy Times 7" was written about a feud between Lacey and Taking Back Sunday guitarist John Nolan.

[26] In late June, Iodine Recordings released Your Favorite Weapon on vinyl along with an extra track, "...My Nine Rides Shotgun".

[27] In September, it was announced the band had re-recorded "Jude Law and a Semester Abroad" for a potential release to radio.

[29] The band then toured with The Movielife between mid October and early December,[29] with support from The Reunion Show[30] and Orange Island.

[36] Hot Rod Circuit was originally announced to support the band,[36] before being replaced by The Early November.

[38][nb 4] With the success of Brand New's second album, Deja Entendu (2003), Razor & Tie reissued Your Favorite Weapon[20] on April 22.

[42] On November 29, 2011, Razor & Tie released a 10th anniversary edition of the album, with seven demos as bonus tracks and new cover art.

[48] Over time, as Brand New's sound changed drastically, many songs from Your Favorite Weapon were phased out of their live shows.

[55] "Soco Amaretto Lime" was included on Alternative Press's "11 Classic Summer Jams" list in 2014.
