FOREVER LONGING THE GOLDEN SUNSETS

I voted for that ATD-I but not APPLESEED CAST

ALSO FISHING THE SKY XP

i met a girl while on a road trip once who gifted me her copy of in/casino/out, i never saw her again

However I did vote for another APPLESEED CAST

hm i wonder which one

28. Juno - This Is the Way It Goes and Goes and Goes
273 points, 10 votes, 1 number one

I LOVE YOU ALL!

seriously teenaged me feels so fucking vindicated right now

I remember liking Juno but still thinking "pffft, they were still the lesser side of that D-Plan split". The campaigning thread forced me to go back and listen again, so thank you!

what really impressed me the most on revisiting that record is just how fluid the playing is, none of the time changes or compositional tricks feel tacked on. Everything is just so damn seamless.

mare vitalis is the shit

In/Casino/Out!

the best At the Drive-In record

this is forever

otm

many xposts but SDRE / Pearl Jam boils is a music similarity only - not vox or lyrics.
mega bass noodling in the background, lotsa cymbals, and a big showoffy lead guitar for the solos, hooky riffs, repeated melodies

style of the choruses too occasionally

also their indiscernible lyrics reminds me of PJ's yellow ledbetter. newbies used to join alt.music.pearljam & their first post would be "anyone have the lyrics for yellow ledbetter?" it was a running joke bcz ~there arent any~

brad this fuckin Format album rules and you should feel bad for not nominating it

haha

TOO LOW level owl

Two more of my votes!

great stuff

same

I um voted for Paramore

imago i bet youll love low level owl

big supporter of glockenspiels in guitar music but brand new eyes is the one for me.

(anklebiters is a pretty good lc! song)

I will seriously hear every album itt but yes ty I like birds and music

refuse to believe Low Level Owl was made by humans

its sprawling and ambitious

low level owl is maybe one of the weirdest products of the emo ecosystem--distant spacey flyover country jams

I voted for both these Appleseed Cast albums but in reverse order :|

that was the APPLESEED CAST I voted for. I did not vote for any paramore funnily enough

it would have been my #1, had i voted. i caught them twice around that time in MO and they put on a great show.

yeah when i saw them around the release of peregrine and they were so good. a wall of sound in a tiny venue

they guy who drummed on the llo records was a beast btw

the drums are like 70% of why i love it

"Steps and Numbers" off of LLO1 is such a jam (bc of the drum part, lol!)

yeah that part is sick, i think i downloaded that track on napster or whatever i had at the time and that was enough for me to go buy the record

love the recessed vox. the sound on llo is top notch i think ed rose is a great producer

LLO makes me deeply sad in a very satisfying way, like being on a long train ride through rainy territory

TOO LOW level owl

I almost mentioned the drummer too! He was a beast musically and physically too. He looked like he spent all day tossing hay bales around a barn

most of my ballot is getting extinguished in today's rollout

By far the best discovery in the nomination period, excellent album

I um voted for Paramore
