I can definitely hear that. Even in its relatively manic moments it has a zen quality.

Yeah, whereas Emergency & I is the opposite of that, it's frenetic, nervous, yet danceable.

Also fucking lol at The Amazing Royal Crowns reference

And folks, I tried with My Chemical Romance (and some others sure to come) and... I just can't :(

I voted for a different Bright Eyes album
― Marty8501 (Marty Innerlogic), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:07 (seven years ago) link
this is better than lifted but i assume lifted placed over it. regardless imo all of the bright eyes records aged horribly

I agree 100% (after relistening to them for this poll lol)

can't imagine listening to the fake interview on fevers and then deciding to vote for it in any capacity tbh

F&M is my pick for most emo album cover. look at ur own feelings!!

Who was the first emo band to popularize "kerrang emo" the dudes in make up kind. Was it My Chemical Romance?

FUCK YEAH

LC should be opening for THEM ;)
this album is so good
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:30 (seven years ago) link
Anyway, this was my #2. Recency bias is so sweet yeah
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:30 (seven years ago) link
holy shit! I guess this means I shouldn't give up on other very recent albums huh
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:30 (seven years ago) link
and i agree they should be headlining this thing but i had no input into the booking
anyway, today results were fantastic but tmmrw is imo the best results of the entire thing (all entirely way TOO LOW) before rolling into the conclusion on friday
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:31 (seven years ago) link
uh oh i'm gonna be sad about the too lows
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:32 (seven years ago) link
aka emo
this is such a great album to end the day on tho i just put it on and i'm so psyched about this show. that opening track is so epic.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:32 (seven years ago) link
btw Three Mile Pilot are indeed amazing
― an uptempo Pop/Hip Hop mentality (imago), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:32 (seven years ago) link
i love the dumb cover because it totally matches the weird euphoria of the record

they really are xp

I voted the opening track as my number one song of the year in the EOY poll. Have fun Mordy!
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:35 (seven years ago) link
an emo band named Crying... seems kind of meta
― Guy Pidgeotto (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:35 (seven years ago) link
one thing about no devolucion: i have no insight into the actual mastering process but given fridmann's history i think it might be so hotly mastered that it ended up producing a ton of negative space and weird auras around all of the instruments

xxp will do. wearing my dashboard t-shirt and a coheed hoodie <3 synchronicity!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 21:37 (seven years ago) link
also "turnpike gates" is the best thursday song ever

er "turnpike divides"

Can't imagine any other genre poll on ILX with quite so many "this isn't [genre we are polling]" comments
― Evan R, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:08 (seven years ago) link
genre policing has been critical to emo since time immemorial
― call all destroyer, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:10 (seven years ago) link
the one emo/pop-punk focused message board i post on is consumed by genre-policing arguments at least once every two weeks
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:12 (seven years ago) link
imo by those standards we're doing great
There are... more music forums than ILM?
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 22:14 (seven years ago) link
don't investigate
