Undoubtedly one of the most solid hardcore/emo albums ever released, Moss Icon took the style of music created by Rites of Spring and pushed it even farther into what we call "emo" today. The first band to bring in soft breaks and loud dynamics, clean arpeggiated guitar, and of course the requisite vocals-from-a-guy-about-to-cry. Their only full length, Lyburnum was the perfection of that style of hardcore, and paved the way for later bands like Indian Summer to develop emo even further.
