| Diary Ranked
Awesome album | | 1 | Sunny Day Real Estate
48
This is probably a really weird choice for the top spot, but Jeremy's vocals make it
for me. During the verses, they just sound so desperate and full of longing. The
sporadic drum rolls as well as the lazy guitar strumming suddenly kicking into a
devastating heaver section just makes me unable to rank it any lower. | | 2 | Shadows
Another masterful use of contrasting dynamics, with some seriously sublime
arpeggios. | | 3 | Grendel
Probably the best guitar part out of all the songs, with some incredible post-rock
influences. | | 4 | Sometimes
Probably the most gut-wrenching song on here. I can't think of a better way to close
out the album than with this song. | | 5 | Song About An Angel
A dynamic rollercoaster of a tune, both musically and emotionally. | | 6 | Seven
One of the most satisfyingly epic choruses in all of emo-dom. | | 7 | In Circles
Probably gonna get a lot of shit for where i put this | | 8 | The Blankets Were The Stairs
Contains one of the album's best moments (2:47) but Jeremy strains a lot more than he should during the
verse. | | 9 | Pheurton Skeurto
Nate's best performance on the album. The piano is heartbreaking. | | 10 | 47
Never really got into this one as much as everyone else did. | | 11 | Round
Sweet track (as they all are) but kinda takes away from the surreal, saddening mood
of the other tracks. | |
YoYoMancuso
02.11.13 | so yeah weird ranking but let me know what you guys think | demigod93
02.11.13 | i'd definitely put Round higher, i love that one hard. i don't remember what most of these tracks are from the titles. | YoYoMancuso
02.11.13 | ^ Pheurton Skeurto is a piano ballad, Grendel has the ambient intro and outro
if that clears any questions up | ZilbelPing
02.11.13 | Song About an Angel would be my 1.
In Circles would he my 2.
Other than that, sweet list.
Diary 5/5 | YoYoMancuso
02.11.13 | diary's not a 5 for me but it's getting there. | demigod93
02.11.13 | i oughta jam this again, i can't even remember how the last group of songs sounds :[ | ZilbelPing
02.11.13 | It was one of the first albums I got from here when I first joined along with f#a#oo, The Earth is Not a Cold Dead Place, and TDAGARIM. All of them are 5's.
Damn I realized I havent jammed to this in a long time. Gonna jam this on repeat tonight now, thanks dude | foxxxythnksustnk
02.11.13 | rank lp2 | YoYoMancuso
02.11.13 | demi: NOOOOOO THOSE ARE THE BEST ONES | xVerschtx
02.11.13 | Nice list! Grendel would be my favorite, followed by Song About an Angel. I don't think that 48 at the top is weird at all.
I prefer How it Feels to be Something On as a full album, but Diary monopolized my old CD player for quite a time. |
