Ha, OK, this is even less emo than Bright Eyes (Then again I'm sure there were people on one of the metal polls arguing that Converge aren't metal so what do I know).

i would have voted for petitioning the empty sky if it'd been nominated, glad this placed tho, too high, not emo, etc

my #2 -- too low :(
*hot take voice* i think this album is uneven. when it's good it's great though
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:12 (nine years ago)
agreed. they have way better albums.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:18 (nine years ago)
for instance i think a city by the light divided is better than it in pretty much every respect
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:18 (nine years ago)
i like city by the light divided a lot but i think this album is fantastic - tons of great tunes, thematically dense

This is a blindspot for me. pumped to check out.

(jk jk jk)
TITR obv not false emo but I can't agree w/ Converge... it's great but maybe more "bands that are not emo that ppl who are rly emo also listen to"

do you know who you are for me is just like "what if there was an emo album with the scope and sound of a smashing pumpkins record and also it rocked really hard," sort of inevitable that it would be one of my fav albums of all time
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:29 (nine years ago)
Thursday was the best discovery of this poll by far. Not this album exactly, but a few of the others have become instant favorites.
I also forgot to listen to TitR, will remedy soon.
― ArchCarrier, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:33 (nine years ago)
ok Do You Know Who You Are is def in my wheelhouse
(also i love the emo-tragedy-mythology of the "1 or 2 albums then they broke up" bands)
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:33 (nine years ago)
this is great so far
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:34 (nine years ago)
that reissue they put out a few years ago constitutes literally every song they wrote together. the new songs are both great (and if you love the album definitely listen to "blue boy" which is their best song and which only appeared on a split with the promise ring)
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:34 (nine years ago)
Yeah this was very high on my ballot, such a great record.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:36 (nine years ago)
xp "Blue Boy" one of the top reasons why I wished there was a tracks poll.
"texas is the reason" is prob the most emo band name imo.
pays tribute to an established non-emo punk band, expresses a enigmatic sentiment that both answers and asks a question, also references american geography (v important part of emo imo)
― gr8080, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:36 (nine years ago)
not to mention american history

p sure SUCK JACKIE SUCK wd rank highly in this poll
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:40 (nine years ago)
at first i was like "the genre is album-oriented! there'd be no point!" but "blue boy" also turned me onto the idea xp
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:41 (nine years ago)
Record last album and then break up before album comes out seems to be a big emo trend, too.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:41 (nine years ago)
it's hard to be successful + sad

Single disc comprehensive career retrospectives are v emo, I voted for two of them (Saetia and Neil Perry, the latter of which I suspect sadly will not place)

I listened to Young Machetes yesterday, it was much better than I remembered. Still not as good as Crimes
