is the meadowlands (which i voted for, pretty high!) actually emo or is it just that ryan pitchfork loves it
― mookieproof, Friday, 10 March 2017 18:38 (seven years ago) link
pretty fucking emo imo

Not emo. I try not to genre police but this seems very out of place to me.
― husked, tonal wails (irrational), Friday, 10 March 2017 18:40 (seven years ago) link
one of the most emo records that has nothing to do with "emo" as a "scene" that i can think of!

too looooow. my number 2, hadn’t listened to brand new before the poll and fell in love with this. One of the best rock albums of the century.
Had a terrible job interview last week and listened to it three times on the train home.

The poll is making me realise that I might be a Cursive fan. Domestica is sounding even better than The Ugly Organ.
