Brand New Day is the tenth album by the band Blood, Sweat & Tears, released in November 1977. This was the band's only release on ABC Records. It was produced by Roy Halee and the band's former drummer Bobby Colomby. Colomby and Halee had also co-produced the group's fourth album, Blood, Sweat & Tears; 4, in 1971. Brand New Day failed to reach the Billboard 200 chart, peaking at #205.

The group's lineup was the same as for the previous album, 1976's More Than Ever, except for the departure of Colomby, who had been the sole remaining original member of the group. Roy McCurdy took his place as drummer.

This album has not been released on CD except for an unofficial version made in Russia in the early 2000s. The CD contains three additional live tracks ("I'll Drown In My Own Tears", "Gimme That Wine", and "Trouble In Mind / Shake A Hand") not on the original LP.

Reception

Шаблон:Album ratings Jason Elias wrote for AllMusic, "For the most part, Brand New Day wasn't as innovative or as grand as previous releases, but fans will enjoy some of the better moments." Elias noted that "by 1977, the musical landscape had changed, so this is closer to R&B and polished pop, rather than the amalgam of styles that the group was famous for."
