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

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
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 18:53 (seven years ago) link
def. love 2 convos. i saw them when they were touring that release.
― Spottie, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 18:58 (seven years ago) link
Will do!
― ultros ultros-ghali, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 19:07 (seven years ago) link
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.

Yes! So cool to see people digging that record.
― cwkiii, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 19:36 (seven years ago) link
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.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:20 (seven years ago) link
I could well end up voting for all three nominated Appleseed Cast records...
― Gavin, Leeds, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:21 (seven years ago) link
their most recent album was good but didn't stick with me

Man, we should have nominated Peregrine. What a great album. I haven't heard it in years and forgot how good it is.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:27 (seven years ago) link
love that one too
― Spottie, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:28 (seven years ago) link
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.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:29 (seven years ago) link
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.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:39 (seven years ago) link
Yeah, this is great! I love the synth.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 20:43 (seven years ago) link
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

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.
― ArchCarrier, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 21:33 (seven years ago) link
a bit on the proggy/experimental side of emo but imo they count
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 21:36 (seven years ago) link
'Inner Bishop' is my jam. So good.

why do i find dismemberment vox so unpleasant
― Mordy, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 22:56 (seven years ago) link
even on the later albums?
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:06 (seven years ago) link
hes so off key. drummer makes up for it tho
― Spottie, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:06 (seven years ago) link
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?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:13 (seven years ago) link
he gets gradually more grounded / in tune with each album
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:21 (seven years ago) link
plus his waAAckiness is pARt of the aPPEAL
― the raindrops and drop tops of lived, earned experience (BradNelson), Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:29 (seven years ago) link
that i could buy - i've enjoyed unconventional vocals before. maybe none quite as off key at these but... dylan y'know?
― Mordy, Wednesday, 22 February 2017 23:34 (seven years ago) link
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.
― cwkiii, Thursday, 23 February 2017 01:08 (seven years ago) link
Is Terrified is still my fave, "Respect Is Due" makes 13 minutes melt away like nothing else I've heard

Musically d-plan is great, vocally/lyrically...enh.

Morrison was a fantastic lyricist at his best (esp on Emergency and I)

There need to be a song poll soon. I really want to vote for MCR - Helena and for In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3 (the song). The albums aren't good enough but these two songs rule.
― satans favourite son, Thursday, 23 February 2017 09:29 (seven years ago) link
both of those albums are totally good enough. i was thinking for a song poll about really prominently voting for cartel's "honestly" and something corporate's "space" bc those parent albums def do not pull their weight
