my wife introduced me to Left & Leaving, which I voted for... previously I had always thought they were too wimpy emo for me and was pleasantly surprised

Hi, another dutch northerner and Elite fan calling in :) Haven't listened to it in 10+ years but will put it on tonight. It's sort of an anomaly (and definitely the peak) in their oeuvre.

fun emo fact: I went on a date in Ottawa with a girl who freaked out that I knew who the Hotelier were, we bonded over shared emo loves, had what seemed to be a v nice time, and then I never saw her again until a few months later when she was out walking with some dude she was definitely dating. the end― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, March 8, 2017 8:46 AM (one hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

:( so emo
**Quick VG emo listening update***Saves The Day - good but i dont think i like the vocalsThe Promise Ring - omg omg. I am so in love with this sound + vox. Weirdly they sound a bit like mid-late 90's Australian grunge & therefore I'm in heaven.

Saves the Day vox will grow on you. trust.

ah yeah i forgot about the inevitable death cab onslaught

I used to really like this album but I havent heard it in years.
― Odysseus, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:25 (seven years ago) link
Voted for a different Death Cab but this is a cool record i think i'd feel much stronger about if i had heard it earlier in life
― devvvine, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link
the only DCFC record I really like

the track sequencing, particularly on the back half, is tremendous

First DCFC I heard was the Photo Album, and it might be my least favorite of their pre-Plans records. And yet, because of the time in my life when I discovered it...

perfect from start to finish
WAY too low, I was sure this would be a top tenner

can't believe it was only on 5/30 ballots!

Never listened to MCR because I always thought they were nu-metal or something. I guess I should?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:00 (seven years ago) link
you what

hah, uh i left this off somehow. thought it was in my top 15... shuolda been.
I know the girl who played Helena in the vid. Daughter of nfl coach w@de phi11ips.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:03 (seven years ago) link
helena one of the best videos ever
Damn. Why didn't anyone tell me?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
@ArchCarrier can't make it Friday but it's a good idea for sometime later!
MCR and I never gelled.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
this album was my gateway into discovering that I was wrong to ignore mainstream emo
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
I guess I have listened to this album before? "Helena" is super familiar.
― THAC0 Pastorius (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
helena was EVERYWHERE. such a perfect belter
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:07 (seven years ago) link
i understand why they're maligned by serious music fans bc mcr is like the quintessential hot topic band but also the album is hot fire straight thru.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:08 (seven years ago) link
also for new MCR converts do not sleep on Black Parade and particularly "Teenagers"
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
Ghost Of You is my fav on here
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
Does this mean Black Parade isn't going to place? That would be a shame.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
i could be coy but honestly if it doesn't place it's not like we're coming back to it so get yr black parade comments out now imho
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:10 (seven years ago) link
'Teenagers' is forever associated in my mind with the memory of tarantino telling zane lowe it was his favourite song at the time
― devvvine, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:11 (seven years ago) link
picking my fav three cheers song is like..... impossible, but it's this one probably

lol yeah I didn't mean to make it sound like I was asking you specifically, just general worrying/angst. such a great album, rare combo of ambition and execution xxp
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:12 (seven years ago) link
just every song on this album is BURSTING with melodies
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:12 (seven years ago) link
"Thank you for the Venom" is so adorable, it always sounds like kiddie thrash to me (in a good way)
my fave is the closer, which I can never sit or stand still for
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:13 (seven years ago) link
kiddie thrash yessss
