ayyyy

Simon wins!

having lived with this record for two weeks, i love it sooooooooooooooooooooo much

i also like how much the sleeve design resembles the first sundays record

woo my number 4! voted for both juno album but this connected for me so immediately.

i am glad this poll exists or i would never have uncovered the joy of SDRE

lol my pearl jam comparison was was 100% intended as a VG-Bat-Signal ;)

lol I just listened to the second half of LP2 and when it ended, The Swarm's Parasitic Skies started up

sdre were such a fixture of my college listening that i can't remember what it was like to hear them for the first time (probably frustration, diary doesn't work like a lot of rock music does, enigk's voice is super hoarse through the whole thing). anyway i'm psyched for vg

actually i think the migration was:

baffled by diary -> checks out how it feels to be something on -> "wow this is the most perfect and beautiful music i've ever heard -> returns to diary, understands it more

xxpost ty gr8080 <3

and it's TOTAL pearl jam emo

struggling myself to make the pearl jam connections but w/e it takes to get peeps on board im down.

I think LP2 is my favourite SDRE. Or the one it took to get me into them anyway. "baffled by diary" was first experience too.

junoooooo

Iscarabaid->J'Nuh->Rodeo Jones is such a perfect run

APPLESEED CAST

i listened to in casino out the other night too and regretted not voting for it. not now!

now that's a tie I can agree with, voted both

casino includes a song that would be in the top three of my speculative emo song ballot

FOREVER LONGING THE GOLDEN SUNSETS

I voted for that ATD-I but not APPLESEED CAST

ALSO FISHING THE SKY XP

i met a girl while on a road trip once who gifted me her copy of in/casino/out, i never saw her again

However I did vote for another APPLESEED CAST

I LOVE YOU ALL!

seriously teenaged me feels so fucking vindicated right now

I remember liking Juno but still thinking "pffft, they were still the lesser side of that D-Plan split". The campaigning thread forced me to go back and listen again, so thank you!

what really impressed me the most on revisiting that record is just how fluid the playing is, none of the time changes or compositional tricks feel tacked on. Everything is just so damn seamless.

mare vitalis is the shit

In/Casino/Out!

the best At the Drive-In record

this is forever

otm

many xposts but SDRE / Pearl Jam boils is a music similarity only - not vox or lyrics.
mega bass noodling in the background, lotsa cymbals, and a big showoffy lead guitar for the solos, hooky riffs, repeated melodies

style of the choruses too occasionally

also their indiscernible lyrics reminds me of PJ's yellow ledbetter. newbies used to join alt.music.pearljam & their first post would be "anyone have the lyrics for yellow ledbetter?" it was a running joke bcz ~there arent any~

brad this fuckin Format album rules and you should feel bad for not nominating it

haha
