'Teenagers' is forever associated in my mind with the memory of tarantino telling zane lowe it was his favourite song at the time

devvvine, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:11 (nine years ago)

picking my fav three cheers song is like..... impossible, but it's this one probably

lol yeah I didn't mean to make it sound like I was asking you specifically, just general worrying/angst. such a great album, rare combo of ambition and execution xxp

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:12 (nine years ago)

just every song on this album is BURSTING with melodies

"Thank you for the Venom" is so adorable, it always sounds like kiddie thrash to me (in a good way)

my fave is the closer, which I can never sit or stand still for

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:13 (nine years ago)

kiddie thrash yessss

MCR was certainly not everywhere in my part of the world: only 'Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)' and 'Welcome to the Black Parade' ever hit the Dutch top 100, peaking at very respectable places 86 and 92.

ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:14 (nine years ago)

lol "Na Na Na" is so fucking good

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:14 (nine years ago)

yeah the closer is

Wait, you don't expect The Black Parade to place higher than this? I thought that was like THE ilx emo record.

Guy Pidgeotto (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:17 (nine years ago)

I don't know anything anymore, everything I believed in is a lie (/emo)

damn there is gonna be so much SDRE in this top 50 huh

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:24 (nine years ago)

hell yeah

gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:24 (nine years ago)

Fuck yeah! This is the best swan song EVER. My #3.

ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:25 (nine years ago)

this is not the one I voted for but it's good!

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:25 (nine years ago)

beautiful record

the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:28 (nine years ago)

i think i didn't realize how good it was until paramore covered "faces in disguise" on the riot tour

the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:28 (nine years ago)

i left this off my ballot and had Dairy in its place, which is stupid bc this is prob the SDRE i love the most

my circle of friends in lolcollege had 2 bros who listened to metal exclusively and when this album came out we evangelized to them relentlessly until they became dudes who listened to metal and the new SDRE exclusively. about a dozen of us went and saw them on this tour together and were so zealous in our singing along and swaying that most of the rest of the audience took note and the band at one point acknowledged us

gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:32 (nine years ago)

awesome

Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:33 (nine years ago)

this album is way more Pearl Jam than emo imo, but who cares

gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:33 (nine years ago)

singing along and swaying

I'm seeing the Dashboard Unplugged audience in my head when I read those words.

ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:34 (nine years ago)

exactly.

but we looked cooler and the music sounded way better

gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:38 (nine years ago)

Anyone who thinks Diary is better should listen to 'Disappear'. Or 'Snibe'.

Or their very best song, which they put in the final spot on their final release:

ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:38 (nine years ago)

I could listen to that thing all day (and I have, actually).

oh boy

Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:41 (nine years ago)

omg lol @ pfork review

gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:41 (nine years ago)

this isn't *really* emo (though the vocals help) but I couldn't not vote for it, my #4 and an all-time favorite

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:42 (nine years ago)

lmao

the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:42 (nine years ago)

Ten bonus points for Imago!

ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:43 (nine years ago)

some of the greatest, most expensive guitar sounds ever

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:43 (nine years ago)

God, that review.

ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:43 (nine years ago)

I mainly felt OK voting for it cause I had a lot of extremely emo times listening to it

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:44 (nine years ago)

you guys should probably also check out the Dear You review lol

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:44 (nine years ago)

yeah this was the album cover I was talking about

great, great album

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:45 (nine years ago)

love that hum record to death. wanted to vote for it but so many other albums just felt more right to me.

Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:46 (nine years ago)

might have been my #4 too

an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:46 (nine years ago)

189 points and four votes mean the other two votes must have been really fuckin high too (assuming 50 for a no. 1?)

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:47 (nine years ago)

SDRE and Hum back to back <3

I felt too much out of my depth to vote in this poll, had no idea which way the emo pendulum would swing. Turns out it's surprisingly going into very different directions. Which is good. Should have voted. Rising Tide is the one for me, as great as Diary is.

Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:52 (nine years ago)

glad mordy did a top 100. l

Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:55 (nine years ago)

I will forever maintain that this album would not be the commercial disaster it was had they released "Green to Me" or "If You Are to Bloom" as the lead single ("Comin' Home" was a *terrible* choice)

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:56 (nine years ago)

if nothing else they both had sweet earwormy opening riffs

a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:58 (nine years ago)

Liking Hum so far, should have gotten round to them years ago. Think they were definitely an influence on Oceansize, and I now realise Lantlos' last album was basically a heavier version of this
