Run Quick EMO ALBUMS; Here I’ll POLL, You VOTED

yeah she recreates that sense of space in every room i've seen her in xp

I think I'm starting to like this Crying album now. It's like if Trans Am were backing band and making a pop rock album

i'm revisiting acceptance's phantoms and i really regret not nominating it! just wanted to say that!

i thought i had nominated it but neglected to as well

Coheed alb rules

brad otm re 33. Devil in Jersey City is a perfect straight up pop-punk punch too.

Bright Eyes are definitely the least emo (to me) artist to place so far but I'm really not a fan so my bias may be clouding my judgement. I revisited Read Music/Speak Spanish last night and thought it was OK, I think I just struggle with Oberst's voice.

37. Converge - Jane Doe
240 points, 7 votes

booooo (brilliant album but c'mon)

I hear cries of not emo but too low from some and too high from others

Once it was nominated there was no way i wasn't gonna vote for it

I mean I'm not gonna complain that hard about maybe the best rock band of the last decade making it in

if it had to place at least it's here

i guess i should've campaigned harder for the metalcore i nominated lol

too many people in this poll hate trve emo

nobody in this poll can even define emo spottie, lol

i can

but i wont

"You wouldn't understand anyway."

Ha, OK, this is even less emo than Bright Eyes (Then again I'm sure there were people on one of the metal polls arguing that Converge aren't metal so what do I know).

exactly xp

i was prepared for this to place tho tbf

btw spottie the new acceptance record is really good!

oh really? nice, will listen now in place of converge

i would have voted for petitioning the empty sky if it'd been nominated, glad this placed tho, too high, not emo, etc

oh really? nice, will listen now in place of converge

35. Thursday - War All the Time
243 points, 8 votes

my #2 -- too low :(

*hot take voice* i think this album is uneven. when it's good it's great though

agreed. they have way better albums.

for instance i think a city by the light divided is better than it in pretty much every respect

i like city by the light divided a lot but i think this album is fantastic - tons of great tunes, thematically dense

34. Texas Is the Reason - Do You Know Who You Are?
256 points, 8 votes, 1 number one

aw damn, my no. 1

was hoping it'd be like... top 20 at least

This is a blindspot for me. pumped to check out.

Thursday album not their best but i ranked it highest theirs in my ballot cos it means a lot to me. mmrs and such

DEATH TO FALSE EMO

(jk jk jk)

TITR obv not false emo but I can't agree w/ Converge... it's great but maybe more "bands that are not emo that ppl who are rly emo also listen to"

Texas is the Reason is too low

Brad, I ended up voting for both Coheed albums after all, you won lol

lol

on my hands and knees praying for joyce manor rn

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

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)
