Run Quick EMO ALBUMS; Here I’ll POLL, You VOTED

lmao i was literally gonna say those words just now

Not that that's a bad thing, mind

If anybody likes City of Caterpillar then they should check out Malady. It's one of the guys from them + the singer from PG 99.
I think Robotic Empire reissued it this year

or you can listen/but digitally here https://thearchivistlabel.bandcamp.com/album/malady

xp - Haha, what?! Must be true then. And no, not a bad thing at all - I really like this.

oh wow i know we're all talking about city of caterpillar but i just want to say:

a) lifetime album is huge fun and
b) bedhead is not what i expected at all and it's v quite lovely

I was in the middle of 'When was the last time...' and was like damn this sounds like explosions in the sky w hardcore vocals (so not exactly but close enough) xp

yeah hadnt heard that lifetime record feels like ive been missing out on something

huge album, not emo

'FUCKMYLIFE666' is the best song with the worst title I know of.

yeah i didnt vote any against me! they were outside the genre scope for me as well

that is a great song but also a great title imo

I didn't for them either btw.

I love Bedhead but never would have thought of nominating them for this poll

Against Me! as well

huge album, not emo

agreed (for both)

two in a row

...

...

CAN I SCREAM

still the best intro ever

i play it for my kids at least once a week

^^^^solid parenting

I knew at least one punk purist who was a bit miffed at this album which very much helped cement its appeal

xp - To get them to sleep or to wake them up?

neither! to rock the f out in the car

usually on the drive to school

Your kids are probably older than mine :)

8, 6, 3, 1

not emo, voted for it

lol

xp - Almost! 6, 4, 2, 0

does steve aoki still open every set with "new noise"?

that was his thing for a while

ot but you both have 4 kids???

Apparently, yeah!

lots of refused's aesthetic is cribbed from nation of ulysses imo, kind of a thing that can't be unseen

i'm gonna try to stop mentioning NOU sorry

ive never listened to them i dont think but i have seen your posts about them b4 (prob from the j0rdan rec thread). need to listen, will do after this poll

4 kids emo crew unite

Was this ever meant to be just an emo poll? Post-hardcore is listed as eligible in the nominations thread.

as was pop-punk yeah

the lines were always gonna be blurry. i think it's cool these records are placing they just dont fit in the buckets i personally made for this poll. it would be more disheartening if the records were bad.

yessszs

In the meantime I guess now is as good as anytime to try listening to Save Anything

Ha, I guess I got Say Anything and Saves the Day mixed up. Which is which? And are they good?

fwiw the list is turning out pretty well from my pov and def fits in line w/ what i was hoping would come out of this poll

how is there not an emo band named 'Save Anything'

In the meantime I guess now is as good as anytime to try listening to Save Anything

Ha, I guess I got Say Anything and Saves the Day mixed up. Which is which? And are they good?

saves the day i think with through being cool and stay what you are determined what emo would sound like for the following ten years or so

say anything came around later and at least on is a real boy their songs tend to shift from idea to idea with a theatricality that's like...idk, emo queen
