The Dismemberment Plan Band • Page 9

Emperor X is like a perfect middle ground between Mountain Goats and D Plan. That is probably why I love them so fucking much.

 

Also, I think Ellen & Ben is a better closer than Back and Forth

 

E&I is a serious contender for my favorite album of all time at this point

 

true

 

Are you proud of me Casey I've come a long way

 

usually am!

 

We should get the gang together and do Changes

 

E&I what a fucking accomplishment like holy shit maybe better than Clarity

 

I'd say better than Clarity maybe

 

i'd say easily better than clarity
hey @CoffeeEyes17 i forgot did you listen to this record before me? or did i just push it harder on you

 

I had listened to it a while ago and it just didn't hit me until you and a few others pushed me into it more. Now it could well be my favorite album of all time.

 

Not to mention the time @Cody @cwhit @nohandstoholdonto @nothingsforeverdude all listened to this album together and that was an absolutely fucking beautiful thing

 

I feel like Emeregency & I and The Ugly Organ are two of the most underrated yet massively influential indie rock albums of the past two decades

 

TUO is goat

 

how it feels to be something on

 

Yes yes it is I just listened to it twice. It's such a good concept album. Super dark and moody, chaotic yet melodic. The way they played around with song structure and build ups is really cool. I think you and I have gushed about TUO a lot together haha. I feel about it the way @cwhit feels about E&I probably. Just massively influential, super underrated, everyone on this site should love it

 

Both are albums I really like that I think are doing super interesting and cool things but neither of them completely hit the mark for me. The first three songs on TUO are incredible though, if only I liked the rest that much.

 

oh man I forgot about Ugly Organ, immense album

really love the post/meta approach of it - kind of ahead of its time maybe, but in the end, basically just a killer album

I need to get that vinyl

 

Yeah it's a very meta and clever album. I think both E&I and TUO inject some humor into their dark meta commentary on the lives of 20-30 somethings.

 

this is the best kind of music, ha.

 

This site/AP loves/knows Cursive a lot more than d-plan though, hah. more embedded within this scene

 

This threads bumpin more than the Cursive thread ever has. They're both super underrated by pretty much everyone

 

Haha, true. Every time I listen to TUO or E&I I'm reminded of Is A Real Boy. IARB feels like it took ideas from both of those albums but never quite lived up to them

 

I really like that approach to art/life

no humor, no realness - I think

 

yeah, it's super art for people who create/are into art

I love that

it's kind of like, if you want to write a good novel, you have to nod to creating a novel and reference the process
