Hi, another dutch northerner and Elite fan calling in :) Haven't listened to it in 10+ years but will put it on tonight. It's sort of an anomaly (and definitely the peak) in their oeuvre.

fun emo fact: I went on a date in Ottawa with a girl who freaked out that I knew who the Hotelier were, we bonded over shared emo loves, had what seemed to be a v nice time, and then I never saw her again until a few months later when she was out walking with some dude she was definitely dating. the end― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, March 8, 2017 8:46 AM (one hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

:( so emo
**Quick VG emo listening update***Saves The Day - good but i dont think i like the vocalsThe Promise Ring - omg omg. I am so in love with this sound + vox. Weirdly they sound a bit like mid-late 90's Australian grunge & therefore I'm in heaven.

Saves the Day vox will grow on you. trust.

ah yeah i forgot about the inevitable death cab onslaught

I used to really like this album but I havent heard it in years.
― Odysseus, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:25 (seven years ago) link
Voted for a different Death Cab but this is a cool record i think i'd feel much stronger about if i had heard it earlier in life
― devvvine, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link
the only DCFC record I really like
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:27 (seven years ago) link
xxp - LBI, cool! We should all get together for beers on Friday night for the reveal of the top 10.

― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:28 (seven years ago) link
the track sequencing, particularly on the back half, is tremendous
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:30 (seven years ago) link
First DCFC I heard was the Photo Album, and it might be my least favorite of their pre-Plans records. And yet, because of the time in my life when I discovered it...

― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:50 (seven years ago) link
perfect from start to finish
WAY too low, I was sure this would be a top tenner
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:55 (seven years ago) link
can't believe it was only on 5/30 ballots!
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:56 (seven years ago) link
Never listened to MCR because I always thought they were nu-metal or something. I guess I should?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:00 (seven years ago) link
you what
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:00 (seven years ago) link
consider: helena!!!!!!

^^^a song so undeniable even alex in NYC loved it
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:02 (seven years ago) link
hah, uh i left this off somehow. thought it was in my top 15... shuolda been.
I know the girl who played Helena in the vid. Daughter of nfl coach w@de phi11ips.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:03 (seven years ago) link
helena one of the best videos ever
Damn. Why didn't anyone tell me?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
@ArchCarrier can't make it Friday but it's a good idea for sometime later!
MCR and I never gelled.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
this album was my gateway into discovering that I was wrong to ignore mainstream emo
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
I guess I have listened to this album before? "Helena" is super familiar.
― THAC0 Pastorius (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
helena was EVERYWHERE. such a perfect belter
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:07 (seven years ago) link
i understand why they're maligned by serious music fans bc mcr is like the quintessential hot topic band but also the album is hot fire straight thru.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:08 (seven years ago) link
also for new MCR converts do not sleep on Black Parade and particularly "Teenagers"
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
Ghost Of You is my fav on here
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
Does this mean Black Parade isn't going to place? That would be a shame.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:09 (seven years ago) link
i could be coy but honestly if it doesn't place it's not like we're coming back to it so get yr black parade comments out now imho
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:10 (seven years ago) link
'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 (seven years ago) link
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 (seven years ago) link
just every song on this album is BURSTING with melodies
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:12 (seven years ago) link
"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 (seven years ago) link
kiddie thrash yessss
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:13 (seven years ago) link
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.
