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

I voted the opening track as my number one song of the year in the EOY poll. Have fun Mordy!

an emo band named Crying... seems kind of meta

one thing about no devolucion: i have no insight into the actual mastering process but given fridmann's history i think it might be so hotly mastered that it ended up producing a ton of negative space and weird auras around all of the instruments

xxp will do. wearing my dashboard t-shirt and a coheed hoodie <3 synchronicity!

also "turnpike gates" is the best thursday song ever

er "turnpike divides"

Emo 2 the core :)

regardless imo all of the bright eyes records aged horribly

Cassadaga has help up way better than I would have expected.

i want to genre police so bad but whatever.

man i cant stand bright eyes

i want to genre police so bad but whatever.

it's ok i've been doing it 4 u

Can't imagine any other genre poll on ILX with quite so many "this isn't [genre we are polling]" comments

genre policing has been critical to emo since time immemorial

the one emo/pop-punk focused message board i post on is consumed by genre-policing arguments at least once every two weeks

imo by those standards we're doing great

There are... more music forums than ILM?

don't investigate

*waves hands around* ~this is the only message board~

Fantastic, amazing message board.

Anyway, checking out some of the albums I hadn't heard before but wow, The Ugly Organ is pretty good, isn't it?

i guess i just didn't think some of these fringe inclusions would make it this high in the countdown.

I ignored the Crying album last year since I'm a miserable contrarian asshole who ignores records people go apeshit for because they underwhelm more often than not; this is quite sweet and endearingly dorky though.

For some reason people are comparing it to Dream Theater lol

― Evan R,

Metal poll has nothing on this poll.

yeah metal would be the only thing that comes close. But this is metal if, like, 60% of the acts on that poll pushed back against being called metal

**VG Listening Update***

Sunny Day Real Estate - holy fuck it really is like Pearl Jam is the backing band, musical similarities are nuts. But not in a mimicking way.
Anyway: Love love LOVE. On first listen I def prefer Diary over Rising Tide

Fireside are great. Very enjoyable

I also dug back into older Jimmy Eat World (Static Prevails) yeah they def fit into this emo profile i'm building lol. Love this other dude's vocals, and the harmonies together b/w two singers blend so well

Love this other dude's vocals, and the harmonies together b/w two singers blend so well

too bad it literally never happens again in their discography

last one for today and the band i'm actually willing to leave the comfort of my home tnite to see live

lol that is beautiful kismet

have they said why they switched? like did it cause conflict? other dude stayed in the band afaict or am i wrong

btw Three Mile Pilot are indeed amazing

knew you'd like them!

don't think it was nominated but you shld really check out "another desert, another sea"

i think the official story is that jim just started writing soooo much and tom just sorta recognized what was happening and stepped back (possibly this is fanfic i've absorbed over the years). tom is still the guitarist though yeah

― gr8080,

If I had nominated anything I would have nominated this for sure.

I would also have nominated a few things on Hydrahead that was screamo. Isis - Celestial was considered screamo at the time and thats prob why I got into them. It's also why metal purists hated them of course.

that's kinda cool imo xpost

but City of Caterpillar wasn't even nommed and I persuaded enough people to listen to them (and Gospel) and they voted them in so I'm happy!

ok well at least isis weren't nominated

Would only have been Celestial

yeah i don't even think that qualifies

Surely at least one Converge album will place. I'd hope Jane Doe would but who can tell with people saying "i love that band but they're not emo". The uncertainty makes it a fun poll.

idk Isis is totally mallpunk ime

wait Isis was considered emo at one point? gtfo

no, SCREAMO not emo

One emo album on Hydrahead I really should have nominated but forgot about is Guitar Method by Kid Kilowatt.

the term post metal wasnt invented then

hey were Cave In nominated?

heh I forgot Piebald were once on Hydrahead

Isis - Celestial was considered screamo at the time and thats prob why I got into them. It's also why metal purists hated them of course.

i don't need the metalheads- i have my own plan to defeat Isis

hey were Cave In nominated?
