Just to get it out there, the most embarassing has to be "Rocks Tonic Juice Magic" off of Through Being Cool.
Let me take this awkward sawAnd run it against your thighsCut some flesh awayI'll carry this piece of you with me
What's up ICP?
And if not I'll take my spoonsI'll dig out your blue eyesI'll swallow them down to my colonThey're gonna burn like hell tonight
I can't even.
I'd buy you lemonade right nowif you were herethen I'd throw it in your faceAnd I'd listen to you cry
Oh my god... And this disappoints me so much because then you have the awesome, awesome, super-catchy emo coda of "you and are are like when fire and the ocean floor collide".

i have kept up with these guys. in reverie is a really really underrated record, i think, maybe my favorite pop-rock record, or at least what i'd consider the best for an arbitrary set of years. it's not emo at all.
sound the alarm and under the boards bring back the emo but ends up sounding like my chemical romance, mostly because conely's voice has twisted into an even higher, whinier register. people have a lower tolerance for this stuff, but there are strong pop hooks throughout.
the new one, daybreak, is all right but feels kind of half-finished, unfortunately. first time i've been really underwhelmed by this band.

feel like this song is representative of in reverie but it's all on spotify:

God, I can't stand his voice now. What the hell, Chris?

love this record, which probably isn't a surprise to anyone
the shifting texture of chris conley's voice from record to record is kind of fascinating to me

it's really something. His voice, that is.

Just started reading that emo oral history book (Where Are Your Boys Tonight?) and today I learned that the guy passed out on the futon on the back cover of Through Being Cool is PJ Ransone aka Ziggy Sobotka from The Wire.
