Best Saves the Day albums are Through Being Cool and Stay What You Are, imo.

idk actually bc neither brand new or saves the day "crossover" exactly. like, brand new is pretty uniformly grim, and saves the day are amazing but extremely entrenched in pop-punk and emo traditions until in reverie where they decide to sound like weezer (and it's their best record imo but i'm alone in that)
one thing i'd recommend actually is taking back sunday's louder now, which wouldn't be on a lot of Best Emo Crossover lists but is a crucial record in that it creates a lot of the space that infinity on high would expand on the next year. this may be a false narrative but it's kind of how i experienced it

like, produced by eric valentine, sounds like a million bucks, released within the time "sugar we're going down" and "i write sings not tragedies" became massive on radio

btw the first two panic at the disco records are essential tim even though they don't feature trick daddy

okay i'm on it.
Maybe once i've started collating these I will start a 'Tim listens to emo-crossover' thread.

"death valley" was the only song i was sort of indifferent toward and now it's enormous

i like how it sounds like she's doing the token Pete screamo rant of the album

The first two tracks have grown on me but so far, this does not click with me anywhere near as much as Folie a Deux. No "Disloyal Order" or "Coffee's for Closers" here. (Admittedly, Folie took a little while to grow on me too.)
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Tuesday, 16 April 2013 21:34 (eleven years ago) link
that album was super immediate for me. happy to give this one time, though.

it kinda reminds me of the distorted PA shouting off of danger days

This album kinda reminds me of Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals, in a good way.

the drum outro on 'young volcanoes' makes me wish that fall out boy would cover 'monk chant' ... the thought of which is exploding my brain

I missed out on the brief emo canon tangent above, but I would nominate Midtown's debut as a dark horse candidate
― anonanon, Tuesday, 16 April 2013 22:57 (eleven years ago) link
OK, I'm pretty hooked right now. "Young Volcanoes" is the only one I skip. "Alone Together" is pretty great. I'm not sure which R&B artist it reminds me of.
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Wednesday, 17 April 2013 23:31 (eleven years ago) link
"Alone Together" is pretty great but WTF at skipping "Young Volcanoes".

Updated thoughts now that I am the proud owner of this album
a)Young Volcanoes is proof that fun. should be fired. Go peddle yr lameass whoa hoa hoas elsewhere, fun. FOB OWNS U
b)Miss Missing You makes me want to go to prom. who wants to take me to prom

once "miss missing you" kicked in i saw hearts though (evidence upthread)
yeah i might only like 1/2 of this or so but its def clicked - 'phoenix', 'miss missing you' & 'where did the party go' are undeniable jams
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 May 2013 23:11 (ten years ago) link
