ive listened to "through being cool" about 8,000 times, "cant slow down" about 18 times and all other STD albums zero times

I'm sure I would love StD but as aforementioned they have been poisoned for me by personal associations, which is probably the most emo possible relationship to have with a band

in reverie still the greatest album of all time tho

obv you dont get the 98 & 99 StD albums without the 95 & 97 lifetime albums
― gr8080, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:14 (seven years ago) link
stay what you are rules so much still and i think i have different associations with every song. it also sorta reaches into their future and past simultaneously, "firefly" is like a long lost through being cool track in structure and tempo, "cars & calories" is as power pop as anything on in reverie

I caved and I'm listening to In Reverie at work and having all kinds of feelings for all kinds of reasons, so THANKS EVERYONE

i saw them live the week (day?) this was released - such a big beautiful dumb golden retriever of an album
― gr8080, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:23 (seven years ago) link
I liked the first STD record because it sounded like Lifetime filtered through a more poppy filter. Didn't much care for the stuff after that, though I should revisit I think.

Love the Promise Ring.
fyi i'm going to drop these every 20 min so that we hit #61 by 5:00PM EST.

I voted for the promise ring (and the moss icon that placed earlier)

Wow, I completely missed STD during the voting period. Listening to 'See You' on headphones now, and wow! at those ghostly wooo-hoo-hoos before the second chorus.

AS strongly as Brad feels about In Reverie I feel about Stay What You Are. I had it top 3.

yeah, not their best imo
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:41 (seven years ago) link
not their best but was very integral for my emo listening path
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:44 (seven years ago) link
I love the sound of the acoustic guitars and the superior version of 'Again I Go Unnoticed'.
― ArchCarrier, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:47 (seven years ago) link
I'll never forget that Dashboard Confessional MTV Unplugged special, which is one of the creepiest things I have ever seen. All those kids singing along, tranquilized by really pedestrian songs, like they'd fallen into some kind of cult
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:49 (seven years ago) link
my older sis lives in Boca Raton and is a semi-super fan ie she got engaged at a roller skating rink to a Dashboard song. Anyway she was at the library w her kids and saw Carrabba there w his family. she sparked up a convo, their kids go to the same school, etc etc. he ended up inviting them over to his house for a bbq and chill. they are still in contact and friends.

lol xp that was a classic mtv unlpugged
felt like everyone had that playing on repeat in their apartments at college for like 6 months straight
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link
I enjoyed that unplugged.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link
MTV Unplugged was imo the absolute worst thing he ever did and to this day i find it borderline unlistenable
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:51 (seven years ago) link
havent listened to it since then (2003?) not really sure i care to visit again to solidify any opinion on it.
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 19:55 (seven years ago) link
the unplugged is great to watch and hard to listen to. my cats love it for some reason

― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 20:04 (seven years ago) link
From Under the Cork Tree way too low, was my no. 6, know the later albums are more liked but hard to describe how massive this was when it hit my school
― devvvine, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 20:05 (seven years ago) link
i was never a huge form under the cork tree fan (tho i've heard it many times bc significant other is from chicago) - i always felt their sound was a little generic and underbaked until infinity on high, but i was relistening to this during the poll and def the blueprint is there from the getgo. the band benefited substantially imo from shifting its emphasis from pete wentz to the true heart + soul of the band patrick stump. maybe it's just me but it does seem like the "frontman" did switch at some pt??
― Mordy, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 20:08 (seven years ago) link
This poll is rolling out very nicely. I'm the guy who voted for Lifetime, Against Me and Refused, as said above it's all so interrelated that it doesn't matter to me.
― Marty8501 (Marty Innerlogic), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 20:09 (seven years ago) link
from under the cork tree is actually imo at exactly the right place (lol 69 nice). it's def the least good fob album (even stump agrees)
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Tuesday, 7 March 2017 20:11 (seven years ago) link
i mean, least good fob album not counting evening out with your girlfriend which no one does
the band benefited substantially imo from shifting its emphasis from pete wentz to the true heart + soul of the band patrick stump. maybe it's just me but it does seem like the "frontman" did switch at some pt??
i mean, pete is 100 percent the heart of the band/the "frontman" throughout their entire career, but infinity is when stump starts singing the shit out of the songs
