Overlooked Emo Albums that Deserve More Attention

Some albums that deserve significantly more attention in the Emo Community here. While not exceptionally deep into the underground roots, here are 20 or so albums that are heavily overlooked or not extremely popular. Ill probably add a lot more over the weekend.

1

The Newfound Interest in Connecticut
Tell Me About the Long Dark Path Home

One of the greatest emo/post-rock albums that needs to be heard.
4.7/5 which may be a 5 after more listens

2

The Speed of Sound in Seawater
Red Version

Math-Rock emo with some really pretty guitars and an incredible closing track.
4.2/5

3

Monster Machismo
Aye Aye Porcupine

Math-Rock emo with some rigid guitars and downright abrasive vocals, a technical marvel of the genre.
4.2/5

4

Todos Caeran
After Dark

Dark post-rock/screamo that sounds like Funeral Diner.
3.7/5

5

Colossal
Welcome the Problems

American Football esq. emo with some pretty cool instrumentation
3.5/5

6

Time To Burn
Is.Land

Crushing screamo/post-metal that never relents
3.8/5

7

The Brave Little Abacus
Just Got Back from the Discomfort

Twinkly and warm emo with some incredible instrumentation. Vocals may take time to get used to. One of the most unique emo albums you may hear.
4.4/5

8

Athletics
Who You Are Is Not Enough

First song on this kicks so much ass, but doesn't follow up too heavily. Post-Rock/Emo
3.4/5

9

On The Might of Princes
Where You Are and Where You Want to Be

For Meg is one of the best screamo songs you need to hear.
4.4/5

10

Merchant Ships
For Cameron

Roughly produced screamo with a spoken word song that doesn't suck ass. Sleep Patterns ftw.
3.9/5

11

Midwest Pen Pals
Inside Jokes

Twinkly emo/screamo that is actually quite uplifting.
3.8/5

12

Barrow
Though I'm Alone

One of if not the best screamo release in the past few years. A depressing slug fest of aggression and emotion that is both beautiful and destructive. Not a single bad song on this, and the acoustic song will destroy you.
5/5

13

Barrow
Being Without

Though not as impressive as its younger brother, Being Without succeeds in being some of the most uplifting screamo you will here in modern times. First half of this is a marvel.
4.5/5

14

William Bonney
Good Vibes

Screamo from most of the guys of merchant ships and Midwest pen-pals, so yeah its good.
3.5/5

15

The Spill Canvas
Sunsets and Car Crashes

The Tide is still one of the best acoustic songs ever. Rest isn't nearly as impressive, but there are some killer tracks to be hold.
4/5

16

Envy
Abyssal

Barely anyone has listened to this compared to their discog, and why? Its some of the band's best material.
4.2/5

17

Owen
No Good for No One Now

Underrated Owen material that people should give a chance, Poor Souls is one of the project's best songs.
3.7/5

18

Chinese Football
Chinese Football

Basically what AF LP2 should have been.
3.6/5

19

Gates
Bloom and Breathe

Post-Rock Emo with some weird production but epic songs, this got some hype a while back but give it a go if you haven't heard it.
4.5/5

20

Grown Ups
More Songs

Pop-punk emo with some Lawerence Arm's style vocals.
3.7/5
