So when I refer to decent emo, I tend to refer to bands like Sunny Day Real Estate, Joie De Vivre, Capn Jazz, Penfold, The Van Pelt, etc. The reason I refer to them as this is because they seem to deal with a very mundane style sadness that one deals with everyday life.
Why is it that this album is often regarded as a quintessential emo album? It's melodramatic, commercialised garbage. Basically what introduced bands like Hawthorne Heights, Silverstein, Funeral For a Friend.

melodrama>>>>mundane sadness
Best emo album coming through

So why don't we discuss this gem of an emo album more often?
>>68805743
So fucking good
What would you concider The Story So Far?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YvyNYC89k6g

you don't say
>>68806539
Man I used to like them. They're opening for Good Charlotte now. They're pretty emo but I feel like this album and the one before had a little more punch. Northern California pop punk for sure
>>68806539
theyre pop punk dumbass
>>68806575
hmm they kinda sound like Prawn, they're pretty sick but it's a little too fast and mathy. Do you know of anything a little slower and a little more melodic? I like how smooth Algernon Cadwallder is
>>68806626
is this what youre looking for?

Hmm the vocals on the first one remind me of an emo version of Highschool Football Heroes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2dmtJ5W1dY The music itself was really cool.
Brave Bird was a little too poppy I think. They're a little too close to Brand New or something. I like a little more twang and sloppiness to it all
>>68806935
I was gonna post this but I thought the vocals might be too rough for what you were looking for. All I can think of though.

>>68807056
Yeah! This is nice. The lyrics are a little funny but whatever I'm an airchair artist tonight. The guitar was sick with the keys on the first half. Then they did the two guitar panned to each ear with some cool noodling. I definitely like the noodling with a more moderately paced beat
>>68807134
fuck you
emoe rules
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mzME1yyEXpY
>>68807171
the other songs on that EP are even better so listen to the whole thing
t. emoe
i wish i could discover emo like you are again
if you like algernon and snowing listen to this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O__htGT11K4
>>68805743
Damn, this is the first time I've seen this on /mu/. Was way into Album of the Year and Semantics of Song in high school. Glad to see there are other Cursive/Tim Kasher fans out there.
>>68805534
Post hardcore maybe?
>>68807513
you're correct
>>68805743
i've only heard the ugly organ but it's great imo
this is gud
>>68805096
>>68804863
>>68805515
are you 14
>>68804932
its slowcore dingus
>>68809785
nah it's space rock
>>68804828
I still cringe to this day knowing I liked this album in highschool. Fucking pathetic past life.
>>68804828
Penfold fucking sucks, they're like a clean and cheesy version of Mineral. Also there's nothing wrong with being melodramatic, SDRE and Joie de Vivre are melodramatic too
>>68804932
>>68809785
>>68809813
It mixes the best of every world into one of the most emotional records ever created
>>68804932
lol pitchfork kids are everywhere
>>68804828
Taking Back Sunday are GOAT you pleb. Also they were one of the first bands to really popularise that particular poppy strain of emo, along with Brand New and The Get Up Kids.
I'll take TBS over some run-of-the-mill twinklecore crap like You Blew It! or TWIABP any day.
>>68807513
which is basically what emo is, except emo is also "sad"
>tfw Love, Claire and Bluetile Lounge go completely undiscussed even though they are the best slowcore bands.
>>68810057
lol, wait till you get even older and stop caring about dumb shit like that. you might even like it again
>>68812196
shut up idiot im sure you found them from mu
>>68812321
Nope. Bluetile I found from the RYM slowcore charts and Love, Claire I found from the sole Bluetile Lounge interview.
I like this one.
>>68810609
This, i miss the energy the early 2000s style had, closer to a post hardcore sound. Twinkle is boring
>>68805534
who knows. shouldn't anything emotional be considered emo? why are tigers jaw and teen suicide emo, when car seat headrest is lo-fi? it seems to be more about the scene you came up in, rather than the actual music you make
>>68806539
there mediocre pop punk
>>68806563
I kill giants
>>68804932
Space Rock
>>68805534
la dispute is absolute shit if that's what you're asking
>>68812196
bleutile lounge are trash senpai
>>68810609
Please do not insult You Blew It! Thanks.
