Was Trail of Dead nominated? Or will I get a thread ban for even asking that?
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:36 (seven years ago) link
I thought about nominating the first two albums!

Seeing the roll-out the scope of what ilm considers emo is so broad, ST&C would've fit nicely imo (emo).
― Le Bateau Ivre, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:55 (seven years ago) link
I listened to The Argument for the first time in the run up to this. Tremendous album!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 13:56 (seven years ago) link
first two tod albums def have emo embedded in them
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:58 (seven years ago) link
yeah, "Richter Scale Madness," "Half of What," "Mistakes and Regrets," "A Perfect Teenhood" all emo af, it's just that nagging SY influence that stands in their way
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 13:59 (seven years ago) link
not to mention "Sigh Your Children" which is an extremely lolemo way to end a record
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:00 (seven years ago) link
A Perfect Teenhood is more emo than most of this poll haha

this was the predictive (and retrospective) thematic strk for the worst period of my life, so of course I voted for it highly
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:03 (seven years ago) link

still life def got 101d
from angry heads with skyward eyes is a classic 4ever tho

one of the starkest and most stressful rock albums ever, no relief or release at all (or when it comes it feels mocking)
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:10 (seven years ago) link
You're really selling it Simon!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:16 (seven years ago) link
I mean, it also rocks and has riffs and stuff
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:18 (seven years ago) link

WAY too low
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:38 (seven years ago) link
oh whoops forgot that one lol
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:39 (seven years ago) link
this album comes so close to being too clever for its own good so many times but just barely stays course
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:41 (seven years ago) link
also this post-reunion braid track would be high on my tracks ballot https://youtu.be/BF4r32HxhFs

Don't sleep on No Coast either
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:43 (seven years ago) link
Oh now this is too low
tt played me about two songs off this and I put it in my top 5 I think?
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Friday, 10 March 2017 14:49 (seven years ago) link
I voted for the fugazi but had to cut the Braid album from my longlist as I hadnt heard it in years
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:55 (seven years ago) link
it will sound better than you remember
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:57 (seven years ago) link
2 down, 1 to go:
Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good // Braid - Frame and Canvas // Get Up Kids - 4 Minute Mile //
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 14:58 (seven years ago) link
haven't been able to stop listening to lp2. goldsmith's ghost notes on "iscarabraid" are incredible, i don't think i ever noticed them before. can u believe dave grohl recorded over all of goldsmith's drum tracks for the colour and the shape? (i can but what a shame)

It's going to be fun when 4 None Blondes top this poll

YES!!!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
can't stand bright eyes but this record is indisputable
― devvvine, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:49 (seven years ago) link
Listening to Braid again for the 1st time in years and it really should have been on my ballot.
― Odysseus, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
This is also great and also went straight into my ballot after a couple of songs
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
this album proves that oberst is emo cause the only way you wouldn't make a bunch more records like this was if you hated fun
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:50 (seven years ago) link
I thought Desaparecidos would be top 10. Great album.
This was my number one!!
― cajunsunday, Friday, 10 March 2017 15:51 (seven years ago) link
the perfect situation for conor oberst's voice is extremely loud electric guitars, which is why bright eyes records always sound like gross miscalculations to me
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Friday, 10 March 2017 15:53 (seven years ago) link
haven't heard any of the last three.
