I like that some people simply voted for the records they like while disregarding a shared definition of emo, because I'm really enjoying the variety here. And I'm also happy that people who love those same not-necessarily-emo records chose to exclude them from ballots, because it kept a lot of that stuff from hijacking the top 20.

i guess i could wait until it places but every time i listen to how it feels to be something on i am absolutely knocked out by the last three tracks

just like...can't think of an album that ends better right now
Liking the Appleseed Cast stuff a lot. On Reflection currently making me levitate. Reminds me of a cracking and criminally underheard Scottish band from a few years back called There Will Be Fireworks.

gr8080 - there's a couple of Juno full albums on youtube that I listened to today that were decent

only some of AFLIPT is on YT, I gots mp3s if you want 'em
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 10 March 2017 02:09 (seven years ago) link
they have a definite My Bloody Valentine flavor to themthough the opening spoken word song had me worried, I was like oh god is this gonna be like a whole album of atmospheric slam poetry or bad Tool outtakes of answering machine messages and whatnot
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 March 2017 02:12 (seven years ago) link
so glad even more of you guys are getting into juno.
the spoken word on great salt lake i can see being concerning but man the guitar tones are still some of the best ever, just really nice rich overdriven tones.
it's hard for me to pick one song from that record but the slide leads on "a listening ear" are unreal.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 March 2017 02:59 (seven years ago) link
brand new is not like something i will hate on but that 2003 stamp means i was just on to other stuff and even now it has a polish that i don't think serves it well. when pop-punk sort of integrated itself into emo was when i checked out.
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 March 2017 03:04 (seven years ago) link
Brand New has a wordy "let me sing to you my livejournal" quality that I dig. Plus the polish doesn't really bug me but I'm already a FOB ride or die so that kinda goes without saying
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 March 2017 03:23 (seven years ago) link
speaking of FOB, I relistened to From Under The Cork Tree on the way to work and even though I *know* the later albums sound better, I forgot how much I freaking LOVE to sing along to these songs...so I can't rate it as low as I know I should. *flips emo hair*
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Friday, 10 March 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link
xxxp Same boat here. That overblown L.A. douchebag American Idiot Rob Cavallo-style production chases me away from about 90% of the 2000s emo stuff. Brand New might be one of the few bands that transcends it, but that canned rock sound is usually a deal breaker for me. Much prefer the "our producer didn't even want to be in the room with us" aesthetic of most of the 90s stuff
― Evan R, Friday, 10 March 2017 03:28 (seven years ago) link
