minty901: Emo Recs? | Sputnikmusic

minty901 04.28.13	in before american football. i have their album and it's not bad but i can't so much get into it. i also have stuff like snowing but find they're more on the upbeat side that i'm not so much looking for. penfold are good, i probably should have included "i'll take you everywhere". but generally prefer higher vocals.
Trebor. 04.28.13	Purplene - Purplene CSTVT - Summer Fences Joie De Vivre - We're All Better Than This Tiny Moving Parts - This Couch Is Long & Full of Friendship (more upbeat but yeah) Deer Leap/The World Is... - Are Here To Help You
demigod! 04.28.13	Christie Front Drive - Anthology Braid - The Age of Octeen Boys Life - Departures and Landfalls (i think youd really dig this one since youre into post rock; it kinda has that loose, soundscape-ish feel to it) Julia - Julia
SitarHero 04.28.13	My only recommendation is: Don't.
kitsch 04.28.13	Purplene Rockets and blue lights Texas is the reason
auberginedreams 04.28.13	all of trebor's recs are good but i kind of prefer cstvt's first album.
auberginedreams 04.28.13	wait that is their first album sorry i'm retarded, carry on.
demigod! 04.28.13	On The Might of Princes and Samiam are also good, but they might not be what you're looking for. check em anyways

demigod! 04.28.13	yeah, that one
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	Get on more 90's emo bands: Elliott-False Cathedrals Texas Is The Reason- Do You Know Who You Are? Imbroco- Are You My Lionkiller? Rainer Maria- Atlantic Jimmy Eat World- earlier albums (Static Prevails and Clarity are the only emo albums of that band) Benton Falls- Fighting Starlight Pohgoh- All Along God's Reflex- Scenes From A Motel Seduction The Van Pelt- Sultans Of Sentiment Evergreen- These Last Days Black Top Cadence- The Jazz June- They Love Those Who Make The Music And everyone who wants to know emo in its indie form just has to dig through Deep Elm's back catalogue.
Shuyin 04.28.13	suffocate for fuck sake Celeste
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	Also, if you want more you should ask Iamthenightstars. He is the greatest emo contributor.
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	"90s emo >" [2]
demigod! 04.28.13	90s emo is the only emo that matters 2 me
YoYoMancuso 04.28.13	Texas Is The Reason [2] Jawbreaker-24 Hour Revenge Therapy
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	"90s emo is the only emo that matters 2 me" Those were the bands that would get to hear "hey, you guys play emo music" and they would be like "is that what they call it?".
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	Honestly Jimmy Eat World were just a straight up punk band in the beginning and then Christie Front Drive came to their town and they took great influence out of their sound and before you know it they were playing some highly influential emo music (before they turned pop/alt rock)
demigod! 04.28.13	ive never listened to jimmy eat world honestly, whats their best (read: most emo) album?
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	Clarity I have to say, but it also walks the line between the poppier music and the real emo. Static Prevails have some of their best straight up emo song but the mixed vocals (some songs are sung by Tom Linto instead of Jim Adkins) weren't pushing the records cohesiveness.
bach 04.28.13	The World is A beautiful place and I am no longer afraid to die - Formlessness @demi Clarity
minty901 04.28.13	thanks for all the recs people. will take a while to get through it but liking what im hearing. cstvt, on the might of princes, purplene, boys life all sound good. and yeah about jimmy eat world. they've my favourite band of all time. his voice during the static-era is the absolute perfection of 90s emo vocals (maybe rivalled by jeremy enigk when he really lets loose). seasonal is probably the best emo song ive ever heard. in the same room, world is static and anderson mesa are also incredible. if you take all the songs where jim sings from static prevails, singles and static prevails demos, you get a monster collection of the best 90s emo around. its just such a shame that they left off some amazing emo songs from static prevails and instead had a bunch of (imo) boring songs in which tom sings. but seriously fans of emo should check out jimmy eat world's "singles" collection, as well as that song ive put as #1
demigod! 04.28.13	boys life are so underrated man and ill check Clarity sometime soon, thanks

A big [2]
minty901 04.28.13	if anyone is interested, i made a "fantasy" jimmy eat world album that has all their best emo songs in one place. basically these are all the songs you should check out. this is my track listing for it: 1. h model 2. call it in the air 3. claire 4. seasonal 5. untitled 6. digits (demo version) 7. what i would say to you now 8. speed read 9. in the same room 10. world is static 11. thinking, that's all 12. ramina 13. you're on and off (digits ending) 14. anderson mesa
Trebor. 04.28.13	hmm I'll be sure to check out those Static Prevails demos
Trebor. 04.28.13	For Me This Is Heaven is the best
bach 04.28.13	@minty http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSjbej5FbKg
minty901 04.28.13	i honestly think if jimmy eat world had released my fantasy album (which i call seasonal) instead of static prevails -- and they could have cause all the songs were there -- then it would have gone down as one of the best emo albums of all time.
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	"1. h model 2. call it in the air 3. claire 4. seasonal 5. untitled 6. digits (demo version) 7. what i would say to you now 8. speed read 9. in the same room 10. world is static 11. thinking, that's all 12. ramina 13. you're on and off (digits ending) 14. anderson mesa" If that would've been the actual album, Static Prevails would be up there with Mineral's albums, SDRE,... now its average scores give a misleading interpretation of some killer songs it contains.
minty901 04.28.13	check the youtube link for #1 trebor. and the singles collection contains most of the demos/leftovers from clarity, along with some other tom songs.
demigod! 04.28.13	never got the love for Mineral tbh, i can rarely make it through a full album with those guys. their production is often so suffocating and their singer is just bad (and not good bad like jeremy enigk, just straining and obnoxious bad like the dude from empire empire)
minty901 04.28.13	*leftovers from static, sorry, not clarity
minty901 04.28.13	@demigod i love the straining, off-key vocals. empire empire singer is one of the best around imo. especially when he really belts it out like in #2!
bach 04.28.13	Chris's vocals are fine imo. Same with Keith's.
bakkermaarten007 04.28.13	"never got the love for Mineral tbh, i can rarely make it through a full album with those guys. their production is often so suffocating and their singer is just bad (and not good bad like jeremy enigk, just straining and obnoxious bad like the dude from empire empire)" Try singing in such a manner like Chris Simpson =), the guy has a really great voice. But I can understand some people can't stand it, it's not really subtle. His voice clicked for me when I was in a very bad mood with Mineral playing without knowing (shuffle).
bach 04.28.13	Mineral has clicked for me ever since I heard Gloria.
demigod! 04.28.13	oh im not saying i could do his vocals, i just think they sound like shit is all
minty901 04.28.13	i had to listen to endserenading to ease myself into mineral. didnt like the debut at first because of the production and such. but now i might prefer it.
DurzoBlint 04.28.13	There shall be no more bad mouthing of mineral.
