they're definitely a more advanced/effective upgrade on the recent Wonder Years / Menzingers template of socially anxious meat and potatoes emo

i don't really like any of the bands that fit this mold (forever disappointed that not all pop-punk records are awkward breeds by the sidekicks) so i haven't heard spanish love songs yet but i'm gonna give them a shot!
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 28 August 2020 14:58 (three years ago) link
I think if they shook up their song structures and got the rhythm section to swing a bit they could really be something special

in general emo/pop-punk's shift to whining about social issues instead of whining about girls is A Good Thing even if I'm not always wild about the records

that's otm
can't remember the last time i heard a record about girl problems, feel like it's been all mental illness since 2014
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 28 August 2020 15:10 (three years ago) link
yeah, I guess that's down to some combo of 1) everyone getting sick of scene sex pests (not that they've been totally stomped out yet of course) 2) societal decline and 3) the influence of certain acts in the late aughts / early 10s
I'm assuming someone has already written about this somewhere though

ok so travis barker played drums on every track and co-wrote/produced the whole album now it all makes sense.

Saw an interview with Bartees Strange and he praised TV on the Radio, and that's who I hear on too many of his songs on Live Forever.

i think he's vocally very influenced by tunde, but there's a lot more going on than just mimicry.

attn spottie, what do you think of the new acceptance album
i had no idea it existed until tim f told me about it today but i'm really surprisingly about the springsteenian shift in their sound
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Wednesday, 14 October 2020 20:03 (three years ago) link
warning for the general emo thread population, the acceptance record may exceed the limits of earnestness normally tolerated by the emo thread

i listened to the black foxxes record twice in a row today, it's the real deal
