awesome. late discovery and addition to my ballot.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Monday, 6 March 2017 19:02 (seven years ago) link
killer album, right at the center of so many styles
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Monday, 6 March 2017 19:05 (seven years ago) link
this was lower down on my ballot
― Odysseus, Monday, 6 March 2017 19:05 (seven years ago) link
Literally the 50th album I added to my ballot, about half an hour before I sent it in. Good find, Spottie!
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 6 March 2017 19:05 (seven years ago) link
I remember a friend at school being really into this when it came out. I didn't get round to listening to it though.

Rival Schools is a post quicksand Walter band right?
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 6 March 2017 19:16 (seven years ago) link
yes
― Odysseus, Monday, 6 March 2017 19:17 (seven years ago) link
Rival Schools were great. For some silly reason I forgot to vote for it. I used to play that record to pieces in 2001. I did vote for Quicksand though (and Jawbox).
― Marty8501 (Marty Innerlogic), Monday, 6 March 2017 19:22 (seven years ago) link
I wanted to like Rival Schools way more than I actually did. Same goes for most of walter's bands. I love Quicksand to death tho

i love how gross that record sounds, but also how there feels like there's a real narrative to it as it slowly gets more accessible and exploratory
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Monday, 6 March 2017 19:32 (seven years ago) link
^ otm. When the album first got mentioned in the voting thread, I turned it off after a few tracks because I thought it didn't belong to the emo poll. But then 'Radon' came up on shuffle later on, and it almost was like a different band.
― ArchCarrier, Monday, 6 March 2017 19:40 (seven years ago) link
This thirty ought six album is great. Somehow never heard it before, but so far it's right up my alley

Can't wait to start listening to these! Spottie otm re: Existentialism on Prom Night chorus. 'Sing like you think no one's listening' is a refrain I have sung frequently for the last 12 years. That SR album was pretty high on my ballot - beautiful.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 6 March 2017 20:00 (seven years ago) link
yeah i love that straylight run made it, that album was part of my great emo conversion

i disagree enema is a perfect pop blast

that isn't "perfect pop" with square quotes

So happy that Fireside made it!

enema is also like the shiniest punk record on earth

Yes, Fireside!

Last time I heard Enema was when I started dating my wife. It still sounds good some fifteen years later.

The Fireside record was a cool discovery from the noms thread for me too but it just missed my ballot in the end.

Bivouac too low! Would have been my number 1 to be honest if I hadn't dropped the ball.
Shotmaker is also too low.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 6 March 2017 21:00 (seven years ago) link
What a joy this thread is already. Thanks for doing this. Hoping the "too low" comments continue well into the top 10
― Evan R, Monday, 6 March 2017 21:00 (seven years ago) link
haha we did it sund4r! shotmaker makes the cut
xp too low maybe but given how relatively unknown they are it's great to see it place
― why ruin a good tradition? (Will M.), Monday, 6 March 2017 21:01 (seven years ago) link
Better too low comments than too high. (I've refrained from 1 so far haha)
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Monday, 6 March 2017 21:04 (seven years ago) link
I can't refrain! Dashboard TOO LOW definitely! This was my #5. Acknowledge that TPYHCTFTM is probably a better album, but this was released at the height of my emo discovery and I recorded every track on tape for the car and would insist on getting my mum to drive further than she ever needed to so that I would keep getting to sing it in the car. Love absolutely every track.
― tangenttangent, Monday, 6 March 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
i can never remember the difference on those first few Dashboard albums tbf. Had to go back last week and listen to each one to be able to place them in my ballot somewhat correctly. In 2003 I just had a single mp3 cd with all the songs from each album plus some from the mtv unplugged release.
