the oso oso is a real grower, went from way worse than the last one to about as good

Probably fits under the pop-punk rubric, right?

I think you're going to love. They've kind of always sounded like a prog City of Caterpillar to me. they were a bit ahead of the game back in the 00's but now this type of extremely technical and ambitious emo/prog is bigger than ever. new album is also fantastic
― gman59, Wednesday, 18 May 2022 19:34 (one year ago) link
Yeah, good stuff. It's cool how they bring in older prog sounds, especially the Genesis-style organs.

I love this new Pinkshift single, v reminiscent of 00s Paramore:

another way in which hell’s frozen over: new armor for sleep album this year
if you haven’t heard dream to make believe it is the best record of its kind imo

this new Ithaca song is great by any metric https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EV7-04EezKA

My prediction? This is going to take Hot Topic by storm. Just something about it. It's a distillation of that pure pop-punk essence.

new no devotion is basically a synth-heavy cure album sung by geoff rickly and…. it’s wonderful

This month has been great with new emo/pop punk releases. I absolutely love the new Willow and Pinkshift albums, and I haven't even listened to the Tegan and Sara yet which I've heard good things about.
― braised cod, Tuesday, 25 October 2022 12:47 (one year ago) link
also new Pretty Sick album is fantastic! It's maybe more nu-grunge than emo but I think it suits this thread.

No bangers on Arm’s Length debut album which is sad as last year’s Everything Nice EP was all bangers.

New Martha album!

i haven't listened to the new arm's length album, but happy to see them mentioned here, because i love everything they've done so far

I don't listen to much emo so am not well read into what's popular here but am surprised not to see the Anxious album Little Green House mentioned in this thread. It was Stereogum's AOTW way back in January:

congrats to new preoccupations by caracara, my "this thread" album of the year
in my head i pretend that every time that caroline album is placed in a year-end list, it's this album instead
― comedy khadafi (voodoo chili), Thursday, 15 December 2022 15:20 (one year ago) link
I think my favourite "this thread" album was the Oso Oso record maybe? I also really enjoyed the Mom Jeans album.

― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 16 December 2022 15:44 (one year ago) link
yeah i would say the best emo albums of the year are caracara and l.s. dunes. thank you based will yip
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 16 December 2022 15:45 (one year ago) link
listening to the Caracara album for the first time today ... big Snow Patrol vibes!
i don't dislike Snow Patrol but i'm not sure big Snow Patrol vibes can power my favorite "this thread" album of 2022.

does Brad get to start it, or can anyone?

anyone can start it! i'm running out of ideas for titles
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 13 January 2023 14:35 (one year ago) link
Did anyone ever start a new thread?
Because the new Enter Shikari single is the best Thursday song I've heard since 2011 and I love it.
