The people don't care.

Yeah if Qwerty and Tristan both take it in the butt, does it really matter which one is the more insatiable?

Damn straight

Martha - Blisters in the Pit of My Heart (2016)
Niche: Pop Punk, Indie Rock, Power Pop, Queercore, Emo
Location: Durham, Durham, United Kingdom

Some pop punk seemingly lifted straight from Brand New's debut album. It certainly gets the job done if you want some cool spring/summer time pop punk to put you in that early 2000's mood, but not quite as well as the real deal will get you. It's a little too derivative for it's own good, and doesn't bring a whole lot to the table to make up for it. The melodies feel too contrived, the vocals are sorta annoying, and the riffs are just bland.

I know this was recced by numerous forum members, but I'm sorry guys I can't get into this :/

Other cons from further listening: it's too damn long and the vocals are ****.

Some of the melodies are alright but they're few and far between.

Sorority Noise - You're Not As ___ As You Think (2017)
Niche: Emo, Indie Rock, Post-Hardcore, Midwest Emo

Yeah, so it's basically just Deja Entendu meets Home, Like Noplace is There with the lyrical themes that engulf both of those albums widely prevalent. But is that ever such a bad thing?

It certainly offers not much else up new (nothing shocking in this genre), but it's among my favorite albums of the year so far already. It has it's own merits and.. whatever. Just listen to it if you feel like it.

As Cities Burn - Come Now Sleep (2007)
Niche: Indie Rock, Post-Hardcore, Emo, Post-Rock
Location: Mandeville, LA, USA

Okay, so now imagine The Devil and God from a doubtful Christian's worldview.

The band started as a product of their environment at the time: edgy Warped Tour Post-Hardcore, though they certainly stood out even then as one of the better, more progressive and genuine groups of that movement. This album, definitely influenced by the shockwave sent out from Brand New's magnum opus, follows in suite with the introspective, self-explorative and deprecating emotional content of it, while viewing it from a more Christian lens, kinda owing to a bit of a mewithoutyou comparison (that is, backed up by the music of the piece).

This album is beautiful, crushingly emotional, and one of the highlights of my journey through emo thus far. You won't be sorry if you go on this adventure.

Ignite - Our Darkest Days (2006)
Niche: Melodic Hardcore, Punk Rock
Location: Orange County, CA, USA

First impressions: "Oh, no. Not this melodic hardcore. Not soaring/overly dramatic Freddie Mercury vocals and tough guy Orange County schtick."

But what followed definitely surprised me... looking past the initial blast of cheese, the dude's vocals are actually really cool. This isn't quite up to standard and doesn't reach such heights as my favorite Melocore album, Potemkin City Limits (though it does recall it at times), but it's an enjoyable release in itself. The U2 cover also caught me by surprise, as I was reading stuff about that song earlier today. It also kicks ass.

Not a perfect album, but one that I enjoy very much.

The Anniversary - Designing a Nervous Breakdown
Niche: Alternative Rock, Midwest Emo, Indietronica
Location: Lawrence, Kansas, USA

Been a hot minute since I've updated this, or been active on this site for that matter, and being in an emo-lateral band (excuse me, we're goth) in a scene full of other emo acts really pushed me to the limit with the genre and I now listen to more krautrock, electronic, goth, industrial etc. than emo but still find the genre to be somewhat of a home.

This album being the first midwest album I've heard in a while submerges me right back into that mindset. The college synths on this record just an extra embellishment; reminding me of similar arrangements on Get Up Kids and Reggie and the Full Effect records. It's a pretty good record as well, if not groundbreaking at all it's the same midwest emo I left behind that 3rd semester of college.

8/10

lol

Our bassist is really influenced by bauhaus and I spend my days listening to darkwave and neofolk so I’d say we have a fair influence despite still being an emo band.

.

We have songs that sound like New Order and Joy Division but I'm saying Goth is a heavy influence of ours also.

Niche: Melodic Hardcore, Emocore

It's pretty good harDCore. The tracks don't pop to life as well as they do on Can I Say but they accomplish what they set out to, which is rad metallic hooks and rif***e over pop punk songs. The acoustic song is kind of a trip up but overall it's pretty decent punk to blast out on it's own, 'tis rockin.

Blink-182 - Dude Ranch
Niche: Pop Punk, Skate Punk
Location: San Diego, CA, USA

Surprised to find there are some emo-tinged tracks here, which makes sense as Jimmy Eat World was one of their biggest influences at the time. Other than that, DeLonge's vocals are at their graitiest here as he hadn't had the time to refine them, but that's okay because the songwriting is decent, reminds me most of their Take Off Your Pants era. Other parts remind me of the no-name pop punk bands that came around Kaboom Art Gallery. Overall pretty good stuff, but nothing close to Neighborhoods or the self-titled.

A huge step down from their previous album Three Cheers, which I love, into making American Idiot-esque Christmas pop punk. The narrative is decent enough, this is the album that blew them up anyways, but the songs are weak. It almost feels like a record full of filler. I had forgotten how annoying the verse sections are on Welcome to the Black Parade though Teenagers has grown on me considerably from high school when I hated it and it might be my favorite track here other than House of Wolves, but the rest is terribly hit or miss.
