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

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.

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)

this is great so far
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:34 (seven years ago) link
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)

Yeah this was very high on my ballot, such a great record.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:36 (seven years ago) link
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)

not to mention american history

i still want to do a trax poll bad
p sure SUCK JACKIE SUCK wd rank highly in this poll

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

Record last album and then break up before album comes out seems to be a big emo trend, too.

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)

re: SUCK JACKIE SUCK, one of the potential band names I came up with in college was SOKMOTOR - Swedish for search engine. It wouldn't have been emo though.

BPIB destoryed my world and was my gateway into any/all forms of extreme music, I owe it a massive debt. also the wildest major label album maybe ever?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:55 (seven years ago) link
destroyed my spelling too
this was released on a major? ha
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:56 (seven years ago) link
err I guess not technically a proper major but really damn close
In February 2001, Interscope Records co-founder Ted Field launched ARTISTdirect Records (aka ADR) in conjunction with artistdirect.com co-founder Marc Geiger.[7] Financially backed and distributed by Bertelsmann Music Group the label sought to wed a traditional record label with Artistdirect's online delivery platform. The label failed and folded in 2003 leaving behind several releases from artists such as The Blood Brothers, No Good, and Mad at Gravity, and a tab of $100,000,000.

starting to get worried that Appleseed Cast may not place... "Forever Longing the Golden Sunsets" would be top-5 on a tracks poll

fwiw I could pretty easily construct a ballot of non-emo albums that I would have voted for if I hadn't approached the poll as a winnowing of emo-ness

hello i'm a tourist from the metal thread and have been enjoying this rollout as i've been in a kind of genre exploration mood lately; Gospel, Angel Hair, Shotmaker, and City of Caterpillar (which I'd been vaguely aware of) have been nice discoveries. Gospel especially -- I remember having that album saved on a wish list on a second hand CD site and feel stupid for not grabbing it when it became available a few years ago. ayyy. i should have paid more attn to it.
and here's to Misfits references

awesome poll (wish i had voted!) but would it be possible to get the year along with the album during the rollout if it isn't too much trouble?
― just another (diamonddave85), Thursday, 9 March 2017 18:12 (seven years ago) link
:D
Nah it's all good, I realize people's concepts of emo are different than mine, just feeling my old cranky punk self a bit more! People like what they like, and hopefully they get introduced to some of what I like through this process.
xps
