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)

Yeah this was very high on my ballot, such a great record.

xp "Blue Boy" one of the top reasons why I wished there was a tracks poll.

"texas is the reason" is prob the most emo band name imo.

pays tribute to an established non-emo punk band, expresses a enigmatic sentiment that both answers and asks a question, also references american geography (v important part of emo imo)

not to mention american history

brb getting in my time machine to form
my emo band SUCK JACKIE SUCK

lol

otm gr80

i still want to do a trax poll bad

p sure SUCK JACKIE SUCK wd rank highly in this poll

at first i was like "the genre is album-oriented! there'd be no point!" but "blue boy" also turned me onto the idea xp

(also i love the emo-tragedy-mythology of the "1 or 2 albums then they broke up" bands)

Record last album and then break up before album comes out seems to be a big emo trend, too.

it's hard to be successful + sad

33. The Blood Brothers - Burn, Piano Island, Burn
257 points, 7 votes

Single disc comprehensive career retrospectives are v emo, I voted for two of them (Saetia and Neil Perry, the latter of which I suspect sadly will not place)

I listened to Young Machetes yesterday, it was much better than I remembered. Still not as good as Crimes

tooo loooow

Texas Is the Reason is great!

^yeah diggin it

this album is an anxiety attack
