"eternal you" is totally atdi/trail of dead-brand emo and the rest of the songs are total anthems. "down university" HAS to be the next single

more rolling punk/hardcore 2021 than emo pop punk but into this a bunch

funny I heard "mistakes and regrets" the other day and realized that while not really an emo band ToD did write 4 or 5 perfect emo songs xp

the really from album is so much more my speed than the young jesus, though i get the comparison
(young jesus was the album last year i felt myself forcing myself to like... maybe their next album will hit me, but the vocals ultimately ended up grating)
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:20 (three years ago) link
I get that!
the opening run of tracks on the Really From album is really striking
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:24 (three years ago) link
this is the record they made in a laboratory just for me
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 2 April 2021 16:32 (three years ago) link
i ended up buying their previous record verse and it’s also fantastic

Brad's enthusiasm led me to check out Really From, which I should really love from the description, but I feel like it leans a little too far towards the jazz side of their sound than I'd prefer. It's not bad or anything, just doesn't strike the balance I'd prefer.
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Friday, 9 April 2021 20:29 (three years ago) link
uh you may like their previous album, verse
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 9 April 2021 20:32 (three years ago) link
I'll check that one out next! Not disparaging it at all, just wasn't the proportions I was expecting I guess.

citizen's life in your glass world is sounding really really good to me today - the experimentation (aka "drum machines and vocal distortion some of the time") suits them and a few of the songs are seriously earwormy
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 15:20 (three years ago) link
"blue sunday" has a very pleasing chord progression

catching up on listening to links posted itt, that Closer band sounded really good, and I was sitting around trying to figure out who they reminded me of: Submission Hold (kinda)

need to hear that citizen record
as well as the record k3v recommended upthread
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Tuesday, 13 April 2021 15:52 (three years ago) link
listened to the citizen a couple more times, I think what they're up to here is basically 75% ersatz revival of mid-aughts alt radio stuff(eg bloc party, franz, and especially early killers) with 25% modern emo signifiers - vocals sound quite a bit like manchester orchestra, occasional screaming, downcast lyrics. etc. what sets the best songs apart is the sheer shamelessness - "death dance approximately" in particular is so aggressively hooky that I sort of found it repellent at first!

speaking of shameless "show me something that you like and I'll write you something better" is a pretty good fake pete wentz like

lol forgot how brilliant "footloose cannonball brothers" is
i know i compared the album to johnny foreigner vs. everything upthread but it is also extremely is a real boy

very nice
I keep seeing the term "fifth wave emo", does it actually mean anything other than "new emo"
― intern at pepe le pew research (Simon H.), Friday, 16 April 2021 13:59 (three years ago) link
no
― mellon collie and the infinite bradness (BradNelson), Friday, 16 April 2021 14:08 (three years ago) link
i haven't seen any evidence that suggests we've moved on from the "fourth wave" whatever that is
I think it's amazing and surely Bradnelsoncore

and "queen sophie for president" is objectively what i want all emo lead singles to sound like

NEVER GET BETTER AND NEVER DO ANYTHING
under any other circumstances some of these lyrics would jettison me right out of an album but they're really earning it musically
