Too funny. I was the last year of OAC, in 2003. Gn1ck was smack in the middle between us.

maybe it's just me but it does seem like the "frontman" did switch at some pt??
Feel like this was a very smart move on the band's part. Pete Wentz is so indelibly associated with the '00s that seeing him feels like receiving an email from MySpace. Patrick Stump is a much more versatile canvas to project an image on

Knapsack I've loved for 15 years now, Copeland I only just discovered in the voting thread. Voted for both.

Lots of punk bands when I was there. Fun fact: Popular singer-songwriter-cum-cafe owner Kathleen Edwards was also a MHS alum, in my year. She was cool.

pffft, no way. i guess discount probably won't sneak in but i'm expecting jejune, the anniversary, rainer maria (maybe)

Folie à Deux is def my FOB keeper but the hooks from "Sugar" and "A Little Less Sixteen Candles..." still get in my head sometimes.
i fucking love kathleen edwards xp

I never bought this Against Me album but I have really enjoyed it whenever I listened. Hits my classic indie rock buttons.

my impression that stump dislikes cork tree is from a very old interview he did with absolutepunk (?) right before infinity where he said he liked approx three songs on the album (i'm guessing those two and "dance dance"). i like about six myself

Apparently I sat in Kathleen's desk in History class, or so Ms. Johnson told me.

i love that i am just talking about my high school in the emo thread, so unrelated and yet so wholly appropriate
― why ruin a good tradition? (Will M.), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:01 (seven years ago) link
I love this Ottawa high school talk. I was last year of OAC at Canterbury.

I like "XO" and uhhh
count me in on the Kathleen Edwards lovefest
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:03 (seven years ago) link
I'd be shocked if Rainer Maria makes the cut. They seem like the quintessential "I thought you were gonna vote for them" band
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:05 (seven years ago) link
ditto the Kathleen Edwards love
I almost did but they got cut because I couldnt actually recall the album i liked

xxp yeah Rainer Maria suffer from not having one clearly great album.
One thing I always respected about them is that their attempted mass appeal/spotlight album Long Knives Draw was much better than many other emo acts' of their era. Good album
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:11 (seven years ago) link
fantastic album
― Odysseus, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:12 (seven years ago) link
great album, not emo imo

thats why i figured i couldnt vote for it

LTIU is probably a top 10 album of all time for me. I couldn't vote for it either

this record is not emo at all imo but coincided with me listening to a lot of emo so fine, it's also home to the lyric "and i feel nothing" which is pretty emo

― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:27 (seven years ago) link
also maybe a little welcome based on the most recent discussion itt?
it's an album about worrying a lot and relocating to Omaha to hang out with emo people, I don't know how much more emo it gets
