joyce manor, we hardly knew ye :(

Anniversary was my #2 yayayay

I like that some people simply voted for the records they like while disregarding a shared definition of emo, because I'm really enjoying the variety here. And I'm also happy that people who love those same not-necessarily-emo records chose to exclude them from ballots, because it kept a lot of that stuff from hijacking the top 20.

i guess i could wait until it places but every time i listen to how it feels to be something on i am absolutely knocked out by the last three tracks

just like...can't think of an album that ends better right now

Liking the Appleseed Cast stuff a lot. On Reflection currently making me levitate. Reminds me of a cracking and criminally underheard Scottish band from a few years back called There Will Be Fireworks.

yeah you're right! this is a decent scrappy emo record.

Brad otm. How It Feels is one of the best albums of the 90s

sadly I'm thinking Orchid, CTtS and Joyce Manor might not make it
anyhow, attempting to predict....

10. Nothing Feels Good
9. How It Feels to Be Something On
8. Relationship of Command
7. Analphabetapolothology
6. Clarity
5. The Devil and God
4. Rites of Spring
3. Something to Write Home About
2. American Football
1. Diary

doubt clarity will be that high, i feel like bleed american gets more love here but idk

tbh i'm surprised clarity didn't place already so maybe i'm wrong

voted Clarity much higher than Bleed which i think is kind of uneven but don't know how representative i am

great poll results everyone, we can wrap this up now imo

post your ballots its over

great poll results everyone, we can wrap this up now imo

36. Jawbox - For Your Own Special Sweetheart
241 points, 7 votes, 1 number one

i even had it cued up but it was in another tab in my browser and instead of noticing it i opened a new tab and skipped ahead to Converge

Bonus addition!

Good to see the Jaw bands well represented

luckily nobody had posted the recap

man I am really loving Brand New

they're kinda like a more grownup/serious FOB

damn i can prob give up on Swing Kids placing now

np Brand New for the first time ever

oooooh

also I say YES to Juno

that was ok

a future lived in past tense hasn't placed yet

I just refuse to believe this will actually happen

I was sure that Jawbox would go top 20! brilliant album, front to back killers

Juno is not on spotify, correct?

nor any other streaming services lol

I found the Spin review people were talking about and it was paired up with Rainer Maria's Look Now Look Again!

gr8080 - there's a couple of Juno full albums on youtube that I listened to today that were decent

only some of AFLIPT is on YT, I gots mp3s if you want 'em

they have a definite My Bloody Valentine flavor to them
though 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

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.

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.

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

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*

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

transcends to the cover art too imo

u know how similar and yet so different those two albums are gonna sound just looking at them

I wish y'all could just get down w both... like me

I started w wave 2 so I had to work backwards and it was hard to get into that stuff at first for the exact opposite reasons as Evan

for yr own special sweetheart was my #1

b-side '68' should have been on the album

Spottie, what music were you listening to before you got into the second wave stuff?
