Jimmy Eat World Band • Page 57

I can definitely see how a lot of it could turn people off haha, it's not suuuuuuper accessible

 

Texas Is The God Damn Reason exists

 

I wouldn't consider emergency & I emo. But I would consider it fuckin sick. I've been all about back & forth lately

 

No yeah real talk 90s emo is hard to get into if you can't get past certain....features it has (nasally voices, heart on sleeve lyrics, rough production)

 

If It's Here When We Get Back It's Ours was my favorite song for the longest time in middle school haha

 

I guess it's more a big influencer of current emo more so than a 90s emo album.

 

That's an album I keep meaning to spend more time with, didn't really do much for me when I tried before but I'm convinced I can get it

 

Chris Simpson's voice used to annoy me so much

 

Check, check, check.

Plus, (and correct/forgive me if this is ignorant), zero hooks.

 

Sunny Day Real Estates singers voice bugs me to no end

 

I could see you enjoying it for sure. Definitely a grower though. Album is weird as hell haha

For sure. I meant to ask Christian about them the other day! Damn. Christian probably loves them

 

I've Never Been More Ready To Fight You

 

He's one of my favorite singers in the genre actually haha

 

Oh damn we disagree again that's twice today.

Idk I want to like Diary but I just don't

 

Check my edit

 

Certain bands had hooks, but by and large yeah you're right on that hah

 

The only albums I can even think of that I've enjoyed and could maybe be described as emo are the last two Hotelier albums, Clarity, and Harmlessness.

 

I'm screaming


But no yeah you're right tbh

 

Diary doesn't grab me the way I feel it should for liking the style so much so I'll back that. Certain songs tho - matbe half the album - are like peak of the genre

 

Yeaaah, vocal melodies are probably the #1 factor in my enjoyment of music, so that's a no go haha.

 

I think the only 90s emo albums I've really listened to more than once are Clarity, American Football, and Sunny Day Real Estate's Diary.

I'll give both Mineral albums a listen tomorrow probably and check back here. Or the emo thread. I guess there's two now.

 

Those are some of the best so hey

 

EndSerenading is something else. Both Mineral albums are incredible

 

I'd suggest Jejune, Pohgoh, Last Days of August or Elliot if you're looking for more melodic/vocal based emo. Especially the first two, lots of pop influence with them

 

I listened to The Power Of Failing (or is it Falling? Idk) once and enjoyed it enough, but I wasn't too impressed. I'll listen to EndSerenading though and double back to the other one after.
