Um..yes and no. They are considered that now that there is an established scene that needs some figureheads - but there was no such thing as Emo in the early 90s (not in the codified sense anyway). People who need to categorize all music probably even called them grunge at the time.

Are the first two albums really that much better? I always felt that they were at the absolute height of their powers with "How It Feels To Be Something On"
In my opinion, yes, they really are.
