xxp yeah Rainer Maria suffer from not having one clearly great album.
One thing I always respected about them is that their attempted mass appeal/spotlight album Long Knives Draw was much better than many other emo acts' of their era. Good album

fantastic album

LTIU is probably a top 10 album of all time for me. I couldn't vote for it either

that's our first #1 vote i think

this record is not emo at all imo but coincided with me listening to a lot of emo so fine, it's also home to the lyric "and i feel nothing" which is pretty emo

yay! :)
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:27 (seven years ago) link
also maybe a little welcome based on the most recent discussion itt?
it's an album about worrying a lot and relocating to Omaha to hang out with emo people, I don't know how much more emo it gets

this rilo kiley band is indie rock 2 the bone

lol yeah it doesn't fit all the conventions, but listen to that group chorus on "With Arms Outstretched."
Incredible album. Can't believe it came out in 2002; I remember picking it up the day it came out and listening to it on a CD walkman
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:33 (seven years ago) link
it's def an album i have Cried to. Often

also true of the other inevitable indie rock interloper the meadowlands
at least ppl in the same circle were also listening to rilo kiley at the time? as i remember it anyway? the wrens as much as i love them were just a whole different thing. that said i think i gave the meadowlands like a #30 on my ballot lol

It feels very of a piece with Paramore's s/t album, not just because of the easy comparison of two charismatic, fashionable redhead singers, but of how it uses one very strong personality and songwriting voice to bind together all sorts of different genre detours
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:36 (seven years ago) link
Anyway most people must not consider it emo b/c that's the only thing that explains it placing so low (I just revisited my ballot and saw I left it off, but in hindsight I'd place it high on my list)
― Evan R, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:38 (seven years ago) link
def not emo for me. sounds good tho

with arms outstretched is awesome great campfire singalong song

Interviewed Jenny Lewis last year and she likened her time in Omaha to summer camp, and yeah, this is the album that most captures that sense. There's a glamour to it that I still find intoxicating 15 years later, this sense that you're hanging out with all your closest friends. I love when albums create the sense of belonging

was never a huge fan of this band/album but the opener absolutely RIPS. Kinda a BtS/Foo Fighters thing. Rest of the album is wonkier

Just catching up, many xposts but I love the cover connection with the tie at #67 (I haven't heard either but they're on The List).
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 7 March 2017 21:59 (seven years ago) link
Their final album, My Heart Has a Wish That You Would Not Go, is more post-rock and my favorite (although I'm in the minority with that opinion).

Aaaahh! Rilo Kiley was my number 1! I know there's a lot of debate around the veracity of its emo musicality, and while I kind of get that, everything about its mood, tone and lyrics epitomise the genre for me. I love that the entire thing is just this gigantic reflection on fear of mortality and identity dysphoria. Aaaaah Jenny Lewis. <3
