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?

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.

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

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 made a quick and dirty list of the remaining albums that seem inevitable and was only able to identify 19.

which is i guess my way of saying this is less of an album and more a helix of dna

the fact that this was not on the 19 I wrote down tells me I made a shitty, slapdash list lol

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

ah goddammit i just realized that the format probably count as emo

I've never heard them but Dog Problems has maybe the best cover art I've ever seen?

dog problems is like a massive power pop album that threads together the beach boys, queen, jellyfish, etc. imo it would be false emo if it placed here lol xpost
