p much every one of my friends was berzerk over this when it came out
I saw them in like 95-96 touring for "!" & hated them, then when E&I came out couldn't believe it was the same band

I voted for this one

Yeah I find a few of these songs grate on me like "You Are Invited" or "What Do You Want Me To Say." I like them but "Face Of The Earth" and especially "Superpowers" are songs I can enjoy anytime.

i adopted my dog when she was 8 weeks old & the family that had the dog that had the litter she was a part of let their pre-teen girls name all the puppies. mine was named Charlotte for what i could only assume was a GC ref.
i named her Charlie

xp But maybe that's because the former are more traditionally emo.
"you are invited" still rules

imo emergency and i doesn't fit any of the genre parameters established but whatev

never was a huge fan of emergency &i but it made my ballot - "the city" is so crazy and awesome
― gr8080, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
that song still rules
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:08 (seven years ago) link
they were/are in insanely tight band but travis's schtick just did not hold up
― call all destroyer, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link
one of my favorite rhythm sections for sure
― I want to change my display name (dan m), Friday, 10 March 2017 21:09 (seven years ago) link
also remember Travistan? his schtick didn't last past the dissolution of the band
I've actually never heard this. I have no idea what it even sounds like. Excited to find out!
― tangenttangent, Friday, 10 March 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link
I still love that album to bits. the last 4 tracks are unbelievable.
― josh az (2011nostalgia), Friday, 10 March 2017 21:10 (seven years ago) link
^e&i, not travistan. Good luck making it through that one.
ugh fuck travis

"a life full of possibilities" is still such a weird/ballsy opener

I dunno I know his shtick wears on people but I admire travis for taking a shit ton of risks both lyrically and vocally

I didn't mind Travistan when I finally got around to hearing it although I never felt the need to give it a second listen...

Promise ring is one of my two guesses. The other is infinity on high.

TOO LOW

nothing feels good was my #1 without even a second thought, some days it feels like my #1 album of all time
WARNING: TMI/EMO:i just listened to NFG on my morning commute in anticipation of its placing today (walking in 30°weather lol). this week’s rollout has beautifully coincided with an emotionally heavy period for me at work and the result was some legit fighting back exhaustion-tears from behind my sunglasses
END OF EMO
contrasting with simon’s description of domestica:
one of the starkest and most stressful rock albums ever, no relief or release at all (or when it comes it feels mocking)
NFG swerves and crashes between stress and relief at such a rapid clip that the result is a dizzying euphoria.
if the loud-quiet-loud formula the pixes perfected is emotional arithmetic , promise ring’s sonics feel like emotional chaos theory
i could go on but I’ll just defy thread convention and instead link to a brilliant pitchfork review for a change, ian cohen’s writeup of the 2015 re-release: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/21125-nothing-feels-good/
