12.01.10 | I hate myself when this unusual event happens but the huge hype around this album is actually making me like it less I think-- I used to enjoy casually listening to it, but I'm a little put off now. Don't know why... may not be the hype, oh well. |
thunder15
12.01.10 | split with touche amore needs to be way higher |
pmmets07
12.01.10 | whoa whoa whoa... 5 is fucking amazing. as is vancouver. 3 isn't even that great |
Skimaskcheck
12.02.10 | my order would probably be the same actually, although the split probably should be a place or two higher |

12.02.10 | band is the tits |
Aids
12.02.10 | I don't know why everybody hate's Sputnik hype so much Eric. I mean, I'm glad for it. I saw them live last week in Victoria, BC and like 4 people knew who the hell they were. If not for the hype I'd not have heard about it and probably would have been one of those people rolling their eyes waiting for Alexisonfire to come on stage. I mean, who cares if something is hyped? That just means a lot of people think it's good, why should that make you like an album less? Unless you're actually hipster kitty disguised and Sea.....
And back the fuck up people. It's all awesome. All of it rated at least a 4. Anyone who thinks the 7" doesn't deserve it's spot on this list need new ears. |
thunder15
12.02.10 | I've gotten a little tired of the album too, and I think it's because every song has the same emotional tone (at least to me). but yeah la dispute is good. |

SeaAnemone
12.02.10 | Aids: I know, which is why my gut here is irrational and sorta dumb. Maybe it's because I used to be like "wow, this is fantastic, solid 4 definitely!" and then I see a sudden influx of users going "5 5 5 5 BEST post-hardcore album EVER ANYBODY WHO DOESNT THINK SO IS WRONG" and makes me think... am I overrating this, too? But if that IS what's going on, I agree it would be silly of me and I should just be more confident in my opinions instead of weakly letting them be swayed by everyone else. But you know... human nature and stuff... |
Athom
12.02.10 | or maybe you're just coming to your senses ;) |
SeaAnemone
12.02.10 | yeah or that. I hardly ever listen to them anymore so I don't really know : / |

12.02.10 | Yah I know Eric, the fanboyism around here can be a little offputting. For example, I like BTBAM a fair amount, but the fanboys that go around insta-fiving every album of theirs make me seem like an idiot for enjoying a good band. The La Dispute fanboys are a little annoying, I'll give you that. But I honestly think it may just be the best Post-Hardcore LP ever released. I have a huge personal connection with it, but I still think it's objectively fantastic.
But whatever, to each their own. I will continue to fap fap fap as long as La Dispute exists. |
kris.
12.02.10 | thats kinda weird bro
you should fap to some porn instead cuz fappiing to music is
weird |
Aids
12.02.10 | haha what? doesn't fapping just mean like "fapping your wings" like getting all irrationally excited about some band? because I didn't mean to say I masturbate to La Dispute. At least not on weekdays. |
kris.
12.02.10 | dummy that's flapping, not fapping
|
Athom
12.02.10 | i honestly dont see the appeal of this band at all. |
Aids
12.02.10 | I know redsky, it pains me so because you are, on occasion, a musical neighbour of mine. If it helps, I really didn't like them at all at first.
Also, getting dumped helps. Like, the lyrics on this album are what I would write if I could write lyrics. He has this brilliant way of putting his emotions into clever vocal passages.
But they aren't for everyone, that's for sure. So don't worry redsky, you're still alright by my books, I guess. |
Athom
12.02.10 | that sounds like a conversation i had with chan last year |
LegendofPittman
12.02.10 | I like this band, but I do think they're a bit overrated on this site. |
sightofyourdemons
12.02.10 | 1, 2, 5, 7, 3, 4, 6. yup. :) this is my all-time favorite band. pre-sputnik. pre-satbotrbaa. pre-hype. they are just amazing. |

12.02.10 | That makes me feel so elite Adam. So much that I'm apparently going to be calling you by your real life name. |

12.02.10 | I actually like 3 more than 2. Those two songs kill, and "Only Everythin Below" is my favorite LD song. |

12.02.10 | It's really good. Clearly not as 'developed' as their more current work. |
