It's only about 25 minutes long, but it's lovely! They really upped their game this year.
Also here to echo what you're all saying about the new Into It. Over It. They nail their sentimental atmospheres in every song. None of it is filler.

25 minutes! it's practically an EP and u kno how brad feels about EPs

I do not know...but I am sensing he is not a fan? They tried to make a full-length album, but their songs were just too cute.

i love eps!

almost none of the other albums in that list are pop-punk
In addition to most of Brad's list, the releases by the following are also really worth hearing:
Katie Ellen (of Chumped)The World is a Beautiful Place...MarthaTTNGBrightrPUP

The Joyce Manor is quite pop-punkish in parts.
xposts Oh yeah, forgot your love of Mesarthim. Does that thing Brand New did count as an EP?
― dance band (tangenttangent), Friday, 9 December 2016 17:59 (seven years ago) link
imo yeah

Martha sounds great. This is the kind of thing I'm a mood for now.

So jealous.

I love emo but I don't really "get" JEW. (shrugs) "It Matters" is nice.
Rosentock and Joyce Manor are prob the albums I've listened to most this year in any genre
Gonna give the Look Mexico album a try, glad someone is keeping the "ridiculous song titles" aspect alive
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Friday, 9 December 2016 18:42 (seven years ago) link
That Look Mexico album is wonderful!! Can't remember if I've stressed my enthusiasm for it yet or not. That's top 5 emo of the year for me and favourite find itt.
― dance band (tangenttangent), Friday, 9 December 2016 18:47 (seven years ago) link
for me JEW is almost exclusively about Bleed American
― Mordy, Friday, 9 December 2016 19:00 (seven years ago) link
Understandable, though I think the entire Static Prevails/Clarity/Bleed American/Futures run is essential.

you're all wrong, every jimmy eat world album is at least good if not great

the Smith Street Band is pretty good like emo version of Royal Headache
anyway, there's something kind of cool when you hear a song and you know they just wrote the song that will close their sets for as long as they are a band

don't sleep on the BASEMENT album it is nothing you haven't heard before but it is delicious
― alpine static, Friday, 9 December 2016 22:21 (seven years ago) link
Thanks for mentioning this band, tangent. This is a fun video.

Lol aaww that Martha video is too much!
Somehow completely missed Basement when I was mentioning albums yesterday despite having saved about five songs from it. It's really strong.
Been meaning to listen to Doe - thanks for the reminder!

I love that song. This has been my most-played album the last two weeks.
― jmm, Tuesday, 20 December 2016 17:52 (seven years ago) link
That line “I know you wish for fireworks to light your July skies" has been hovering in my head too.
