it came out the same year as let england shake and i always associate them with each other bc they're both ghostly reinventions
literally dropped everything I was doing to go play this after reading this. I don't even recall reading/hearing anything about this album
― Evan R, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 19:53 (seven years ago) link
they sound absolutely nothing alike but I can see how someone would associate their ~vibes~

10 minutes in and I'm getting Leaves Turn Inside You vibes more than anything, which, well fuck yeah bring it

So far this is my favorite of the albums I discovered as a result of this poll.

finally listening to the Gospel album and it's incredible (tho I concur with the "not emo" diagnosis)

― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:03 (seven years ago) link
one of my faves
i've always thought the ugly organ was pretty uneven compared to domestica but the first five or so tracks are all fire

Great album, look for it in the local discount bin

I still don't understand this genre that encompasses both a pedro the lion album and jimmy eat world

I have The Ugly Organ on CD and im sure its more grey than green on the cover

did anyone else do a "where's tim" scan of the accompanying art after hearing "I'm hiding in the leaves / in the CD jacket sleeve"
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:06 (seven years ago) link
no but we'll be doing a few "WHERE'S JIM" scans over the next couple days
― cwkiii, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:09 (seven years ago) link
oh common life is not going to place bc it disappeared from the noms but i would really like to isolate it as a record on which a pretty trad pop-punk band stretched out a lot and ended up making a really resonant album about death and trauma, and i've found i grow closer to it as i get older. i also think they're a pretty incomparable band lyrically
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:12 (seven years ago) link
is there going to be any more blink 182?
― gr8080, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:13 (seven years ago) link
Yup, it's a stellar album. Gospel is also very good, "I Was Born in the Dark" is a master class in songs under 150 seconds that nevertheless cram in a dozen musical twists xp
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:14 (seven years ago) link
Don't think it even got nominated by Mama, I'm Swollen was a way underrated LP with like 4 knockout songs on it. My favorite post-Ugly Organ Cursive album
― Evan R, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:15 (seven years ago) link
until very recently i preferred gospel. i go back and forth. fireworks were the first modern pop-punk band i really fell in love with xp

"even strangers are asking you / 'what the hell is wrong with him?'" on "one more creature dizzy with love" just kills me

I can't believe they didn't include a version of the title track, what a gorgeous song that is
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:17 (seven years ago) link
i programmed a version of the album where the title track is the opener. makes it a masterpiece imo lol
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:18 (seven years ago) link
(i think potentially they wrote and recorded the title track after turning in the album. heard that somewhere)
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:19 (seven years ago) link
damn, would have *killed* as the side 1 closer
anyway that's enough out of me re: a song that's not on an album that's not gonna place lol

Change is maybe like the 9th falsest thing to place so far!

lol true i just like yelling about it
i appreciate the diversity in this poll but it's also super weird

I was soooo excited for this to come out and didn't really know what to make of most of it when it did. One of the first albums I can remember to just totally confound my expectations.
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:31 (seven years ago) link
I loved "Helena" so much! "Hang 'Em High" is one of my favourite deep cuts from Three Cheers.
i guess i would argue that it's wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too prog for this poll but it's also great so fine
― My Body's Made of Crushed Little Evening Stars (Sund4r), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:33 (seven years ago) link
it's my fav d plan record
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:33 (seven years ago) link
Tbh, what I liked about what people were calling emo when I was first exposed to it was that it was like a new kind of prog rock.

i feel this! that gospel record just seems to slip out of even my expansive emo venn diagram
I am on a national express, alone, achey and tired from another city I didn't need to go to; this thread is perfect for me. Thanks guys.

I couldn't not vote for this, one of my favourite albums of the '00s (and definitely a big part of my initial emo phase).
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 20:36 (seven years ago) link
"Sentimental Man" / "Face of the Earth" is one of the great opening salvos
uhh anyway this is another killer album I didn't actually vote for

i don't think any psychobilly records were nominated unfortunately
