(xpost) Yeah I didn't vote for any Jawbreaker but 24 Hour Revenge Therapy was always my favourite - one of those cases of a record really striking the right balance between the sounds of the albums either side of it. I guess it will place pretty high up?

its not on this album, but its fun to sing "Kiss the Bottle" as "Kiss the Butthole"

my wife introduced me to Left & Leaving, which I voted for... previously I had always thought they were too wimpy emo for me and was pleasantly surprised

Hi, another dutch northerner and Elite fan calling in :) Haven't listened to it in 10+ years but will put it on tonight. It's sort of an anomaly (and definitely the peak) in their oeuvre.

fun emo fact: I went on a date in Ottawa with a girl who freaked out that I knew who the Hotelier were, we bonded over shared emo loves, had what seemed to be a v nice time, and then I never saw her again until a few months later when she was out walking with some dude she was definitely dating. the end― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, March 8, 2017 8:46 AM (one hour ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

:( so emo
**Quick VG emo listening update***Saves The Day - good but i dont think i like the vocalsThe Promise Ring - omg omg. I am so in love with this sound + vox. Weirdly they sound a bit like mid-late 90's Australian grunge & therefore I'm in heaven.
― Yoni Loves Chocha (VegemiteGrrl), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:02 (seven years ago) link
Saves the Day vox will grow on you. trust.

I used to really like this album but I havent heard it in years.

Voted for a different Death Cab but this is a cool record i think i'd feel much stronger about if i had heard it earlier in life
― devvvine, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 17:26 (seven years ago) link
the only DCFC record I really like

the track sequencing, particularly on the back half, is tremendous

First DCFC I heard was the Photo Album, and it might be my least favorite of their pre-Plans records. And yet, because of the time in my life when I discovered it...

Never listened to MCR because I always thought they were nu-metal or something. I guess I should?

helena one of the best videos ever
Damn. Why didn't anyone tell me?

@ArchCarrier can't make it Friday but it's a good idea for sometime later!
MCR and I never gelled.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:04 (seven years ago) link
this album was my gateway into discovering that I was wrong to ignore mainstream emo
― a serious and fascinating fartist (Simon H.), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
I guess I have listened to this album before? "Helena" is super familiar.
― THAC0 Pastorius (Tom Violence), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:05 (seven years ago) link
helena was EVERYWHERE. such a perfect belter
― Lebro v. Wade (Spottie), Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:07 (seven years ago) link
i understand why they're maligned by serious music fans bc mcr is like the quintessential hot topic band but also the album is hot fire straight thru.
― Mordy, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 18:08 (seven years ago) link
also for new MCR converts do not sleep on Black Parade and particularly "Teenagers"
