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

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.

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?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:55 (seven years ago) link
destroyed my spelling too
this was released on a major? ha
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Thursday, 9 March 2017 17:56 (seven years ago) link
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.

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― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Thursday, March 9, 2017 11:41 AM

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

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

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 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!)

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.

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.

BPIB was a "big" album for me and my friends. as someone else mentioned upthread, it opened up the door to a lot of extreme music for me, similar to how [album that has yet to place] opened up the door to lots of experimental music

Using my one TOO LOW on Texas Is the Reason, was in my top three, such a classic record, basically my platonic ideal of pop emo.
― Gavin, Leeds, Thursday, 9 March 2017 18:18 (seven years ago) link
it was also a big album for me and my friends, in the sense that I inflicted it on as many of my friends as possible but all they ever heard was sonic terrorism xp

I still get a weird proud thrill hearing Patrick showcase his "new" pipes on Folie. Infinity hinted at it but Folie was like OH SHIT DUDE. Compared to how he sang on TITYG you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a different lead singer
