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

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

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

re: SUCK JACKIE SUCK, one of the potential band names I came up with in college was SOKMOTOR - Swedish for search engine. It wouldn't have been emo though.

i think im becoming a blood bros fan?

hooray!

BPIB destoryed my world and was my gateway into any/all forms of extreme music, I owe it a massive debt. also the wildest major label album maybe ever?

destroyed my spelling too

this was released on a major? ha

err I guess not technically a proper major but really damn close

In February 2001, Interscope Records co-founder Ted Field launched ARTISTdirect Records (aka ADR) in conjunction with artistdirect.com co-founder Marc Geiger.[7] Financially backed and distributed by Bertelsmann Music Group the label sought to wed a traditional record label with Artistdirect's online delivery platform. The label failed and folded in 2003 leaving behind several releases from artists such as The Blood Brothers, No Good, and Mad at Gravity, and a tab of $100,000,000.

oof

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

starting to get worried that Appleseed Cast may not place... "Forever Longing the Golden Sunsets" would be top-5 on a tracks poll

32. Fall Out Boy - Folie a Deux
260 points, 7 votes

way too low

cosign - such a great album

woah damn I'll say

fwiw I could pretty easily construct a ballot of non-emo albums that I would have voted for if I hadn't approached the poll as a winnowing of emo-ness

another gateway record for me

hello i'm a tourist from the metal thread and have been enjoying this rollout as i've been in a kind of genre exploration mood lately; Gospel, Angel Hair, Shotmaker, and City of Caterpillar (which I'd been vaguely aware of) have been nice discoveries. Gospel especially -- I remember having that album saved on a wish list on a second hand CD site and feel stupid for not grabbing it when it became available a few years ago. ayyy. i should have paid more attn to it.

and here's to Misfits references

i'm gonna consider this stretch the top ten

it gets worse (better) today :'(

starting to get worried that Appleseed Cast may not place... "Forever Longing the Golden Sunsets" would be top-5 on a tracks poll

I voted for both Mare Vitalis and Low Level Owl and it'll be a travesty if neither places, esp in light of all this mall crap (sorry!)

Low LeveL Owl is a shoo-in, gotta be

I'm grateful that Dan is here to say the things I'm too polite to say in this thread.

I have written and deleted so many bad-tempered replies to this thread every time MCR/FOB or stuff like that comes up it's not even funny

awesome poll (wish i had voted!) but would it be possible to get the year along with the album during the rollout if it isn't too much trouble?

:D

Nah it's all good, I realize people's concepts of emo are different than mine, just feeling my old cranky punk self a bit more! People like what they like, and hopefully they get introduced to some of what I like through this process.

xps

BPIB was my number 3 - a cataract of insanity without anything else quite like it

texas is the reason would have been my #1 if i had gotten my act together. perfect album.

and re: converge, it's really a testament to how good they are that the emo, metal, and hardcore scenes will all try to claim them.

even that History Of Rock Music dude agrees that the vocal chemistry between Johnny and Jordan is like nothing else that came before (or since imo) xp
