they have a definite My Bloody Valentine flavor to themthough the opening spoken word song had me worried, I was like oh god is this gonna be like a whole album of atmospheric slam poetry or bad Tool outtakes of answering machine messages and whatnot
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 March 2017 02:12 (seven years ago) link
so glad even more of you guys are getting into juno.
the spoken word on great salt lake i can see being concerning but man the guitar tones are still some of the best ever, just really nice rich overdriven tones.
it's hard for me to pick one song from that record but the slide leads on "a listening ear" are unreal.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 March 2017 02:59 (seven years ago) link
brand new is not like something i will hate on but that 2003 stamp means i was just on to other stuff and even now it has a polish that i don't think serves it well. when pop-punk sort of integrated itself into emo was when i checked out.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 March 2017 03:04 (seven years ago) link
Brand New has a wordy "let me sing to you my livejournal" quality that I dig. Plus the polish doesn't really bug me but I'm already a FOB ride or die so that kinda goes without saying
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 March 2017 03:23 (seven years ago) link
speaking of FOB, I relistened to From Under The Cork Tree on the way to work and even though I *know* the later albums sound better, I forgot how much I freaking LOVE to sing along to these songs...so I can't rate it as low as I know I should. *flips emo hair*
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 March 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link
xxxp Same boat here. That overblown L.A. douchebag American Idiot Rob Cavallo-style production chases me away from about 90% of the 2000s emo stuff. Brand New might be one of the few bands that transcends it, but that canned rock sound is usually a deal breaker for me. Much prefer the "our producer didn't even want to be in the room with us" aesthetic of most of the 90s stuff
― Evan R, Friday, 10 March 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link

Rap

― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Friday, 10 March 2017 05:01 (seven years ago) link
I was a big bad religion fan in high school which I guess was my gateway into this stuff?
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Friday, 10 March 2017 05:05 (seven years ago) link
Huh, that's interesting. That was pretty much my diet, too. But I think a big part of it is just age. For anybody who came up in the 90s (or before) and witnessed the rise and fall of the alternative nation, where underground rock became this kind of excessive, gaudy, major-label burlesque, a lot of 2000s commercial emo is a hard sell, because it explicitly embraced those big-budget, major-label trappings most of the best punk and indie releases of that era were rejecting.
I've warmed quite a bit to that blockbuster sound, and can kind of appreciate the audacity of it now, but for people who came up listening to Dischord or Touch & Go or whatever, it was so alien---just like, a kind of uncool that almost felt arrogant. I hadn't thought much about the experience of coming at the music backwards, going from the plastic wrap mall punk stuff to the rawer stuff.
― Evan R, Friday, 10 March 2017 05:15 (seven years ago) link
I always thought it was kinda easier to work backward from a commercial gateway, though. Like, I feel like being a Green Day fan who gradually goes back to the Sex Pistols and Black Flag or w/e is probably far easier than a 80s punk trying to get into Green Day or Blink-182 (probably the band that marks a generational divide among rock fans more cleanly than any other I can think of)
― Evan R, Friday, 10 March 2017 05:17 (seven years ago) link
oh I should say I was into Green Day and Blink, not sure how I forgot those. first two cds I bought were August & everything after and Dookie when I was 12 ('93)
