This POLL Will Become the Anthem of Your EMO Voting Thread / You're Two Floors Down CAMPAIGNING in the Back Room.

Mare Vitalis and Low Level Owl

not sure which AC album im gonna vote for

I'll probably go for both if my ballot's looking a bit thin

me neither though i'm leaning toward mare vitalis xpost

the cello on this Benton Falls records reminds me that someone really should have nominated Faraquet's The View from This Tower.

oh man, the thirty ought six record

thrilled that ppl really repped for old evil-sounding post-hardcore that i've never heard before

there was a time in college where i would listen to anything that sounded like fugazi/hoover and i would've lost my mind over thirty ought six

yeah its a little more succinct.

xxp That reminds me, I love Fugazi but have never listened to Rites of Spring or Embrace, should probably get round to that... and a load of other stuff

Mare Vitalis and Low Level Owl

def. love 2 convos. i saw them when they were touring that release.

Will do!

I saw them when only the first volume of Low Level Owl had been released, but they already sold volume 2 after the show. Great band, and nice guys too.

oh man, the thirty ought six record

Yes! So cool to see people digging that record.

I love Low Level Owl but if we're talking *emo* Appleseed Cast albums I have to go with Mare Vitalis. LLO is where they start veering into post-rock imo (not that that's a bad thing).

Also: a great Appleseed Cast track from an album not nominated

Ha, I was going to post something about Peregrine earlier, but then I realised it wasn't nominated.
Other good songs from that album are Silas' Knife, Song 3 and the fantastic February.

After that, I lost sight of them. I think they got a new drummer around that time, which didn't help.

I could well end up voting for all three nominated Appleseed Cast records...

their most recent album was good but didn't stick with me

xp

same

Man, we should have nominated Peregrine. What a great album. I haven't heard it in years and forgot how good it is.

love that one too

maybe it's about time i bully everyone into voting for the anniversary

xp I'm definitely going to check out their later albums after the poll is over.

it's gonna be like...top three on my list xp

welp that's a must-listen then

Ooh, nice surprise, those female vocals in the second track.

Yeah, this is great! I love the synth.

yeah digging how power-poppy this is

absolutely obsessed with the thirty ought six record, i am so happy, thank u cwkiii

gonna try to listen to Chief Assassin to the Sinister without just listening to "Shang vs. Hanger" over and over

y'know in retrospect it's kinda weird to me that Xiu Xiu never got the "emo" tab that I can recall

*tag

On the other hand, I never got the memo that Three Mile Pilot are considered emo. All that sci-fi artwork on the cover threw me off I guess.

a bit on the proggy/experimental side of emo but imo they count

'Inner Bishop' is my jam. So good.

why do i find dismemberment vox so unpleasant

even on the later albums?

hes so off key. drummer makes up for it tho

i just never thought of them as emo at all.

i made it about 40 seconds into The Dismemberment Plan is Terrified - is the total lack of carrying a tune one of the things fans like about the band?

he gets gradually more grounded / in tune with each album

plus his waAAckiness is pARt of the aPPEAL

that i could buy - i've enjoyed unconventional vocals before. maybe none quite as off key at these but... dylan y'know?

ayo brad you got mail

xp I recently dug out Is Terrified for the first time in forever and wasn't feeling it at all but Emergency & I is still one of my favorite records ever. Didn't like Change at the time either.

My first exposure to them was seeing them as the first band on a bill with Burning Airlines and The Promise Ring but I've never thought of them as emo either.

Is Terrified is still my fave, "Respect Is Due" makes 13 minutes melt away like nothing else I've heard

why do i find dismemberment vox so unpleasant
