rolling emo/pop-punk/the fireworks album is never coming out thread of 2021

yes!! i nearly posted it here myself

also the new pom pom squad, who still don't belong here

the new pronoun EP is so so so so great

new quicksand!!!!

am I wrong or is that unexpected?

they put out a good record a couple of years ago but a new quicksand album is always a pleasant surprise yeah

Johnny Foreigner are teasing lil snippets on their socials and I'm already inordinately excited.

Also the Arm's Length record is wall-to-wall bangers and will probably be my favourite of the year: https://armslengthontario.bandcamp.com/album/everything-nice

The two singles below but actually "Eve (Household Name)" is the standout imo:

the new maine album is very very good

i ended up not liking the last thrice record at all, but this single is super encouraging

love the Laura Stevenson album.

ok new thrice record is going to be very very very good

this is great. I've somehow missed both reunion albums, maybe I should check them out.

the second one, palms, is my least favorite thrice album (after their earliest material). to be everywhere is to be nowhere is really solid tho

palms may seem more transitional in retrospect once this new record is out

generally felt like it was on its way to somewhere it never arrived at

i really should add "post-hardcore" to these thread titles so i can feel free to talk about how good the new etid song is

planet shit

thrice album is their best in a very long while, splits the difference between their exploratory radioheadish side and what i'm gonna characterize as their house style of "sludge emo" without spilling over into butt rock (both of the albums before this are guilty)

the new underoath song is way too good to keep in just their thread

No talk/love for the new TWIABP record, Illusory Walls, released yesterday? Figured it was perfect for this thread.

I am really enjoying its ambition, scope and almost, at times, progressive metal edge, but I can see it alienating their more traditional or emo-revival fans. Also not sure if those aforementioned qualities will hold up well upon repeated listens, but for now it is probably my fave AOTY.

I think it's amazing and surely Bradnelsoncore

they finally did it

i mean i liked harmlessness a lot but this is easily the best shit they've ever done

love the amount of atdi i hear in it

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

i've taken the temperature of emo after hearing this record and it's alive baby!!!!!

oh my god

over the weekend I started reading the Dan Ozzi book about selling out. I just finished the ATDI chapter and thought it was good. same with the Blink chapter.

this might be too metalcore for this thread, but I'm absolutely loving the new Dying Wish album.
