The lyrics on that whole album hit so hard
Ha, guess what I was just listening to on the train home.
Awesome album indeed.
I can't believe the first time I heard it I wasn't into it, now it's one of my all time favorites.

Yeah, it's really got a a consistent style and sound throughout. It's by far the most 'classically Japanese' sounding record. This is pretty much regarded to be their best record, I think. It was their breakthrough record. LIke, what Ok Computer was like for Radiohead. Helped cement their style. Super stoked you like it, bro!
I know it's not emo, but since we don't have (post) hardcore thread I decided to throw it in here. Been listening to Wildlife by La Dispute for over a year now, and the more I listen to it the more it becomes one of my favorite albums of all time. The lyrics, instruments, melodies, emotions,... It's basically hardcore poetry.

But the truth is, you were never there. You wont ever be.
Sometimes I think Im not either so what do I do
When every day still seems to start and end with you?
And you wont ever know, you wont ever see,
How much your ghost since then has been defining me.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz2umuRhXK4
And just the other day I swear I saw a man there
Pulling weeds out of the concrete, sweeping up and patching cracks,
I saw him lift a rag to wash the years of filth from off those windows.
Made me wonder if there's anyone like that for you and me and
Anybody else who broke and lost hope.
The entire cd is just so damn good and covers a wide variety of real life topics. Cancer, depression, loneliness, schizophrenia, gang violence and the effects on regular families,... It's all just so damn good. Give it a listen if you haven't already, you won't be disappointed.

The album didn't hit me until I listened to it with he lyrics. It's one of my favorite records of all time too. Just so good.

Saw them at a tiny venue near me in the UK. They were such nice guys and played the whole album including a few extras.
And apparently the album is amazing. Cannot wait.

the beginning sounded very much like Mineral, it transformed into something else though. beautiful!
Whoops, didn't mean to make it look like I was recommending something similar. I was just posting a band. Glad you like them though, they need more fans.

Damn, sounds great so far. I will post the bandcamp for people to check out the whole album.
So, Modern Baseball released a new EP today. At least they are streaming it on Spin it drops the 23rd.
Pretty cool even if I don't think it's as good as the stuff on their last record. Still, I really liked it even if it's pretty unpolished. They also announced their new record that will probably be great.

That sounds amazing. They played a few of their older stuff like "An Ode to the Nite Ratz Club" when I saw them, not that I complained though because that song is amazing.
4 tracks into this right now and it's so damn good. So many great albums this year.

Eiffel is my favorite Foxing song now of all time. the whole album is amazing. Can't believe they actually outdid The Albatross

That song is great, after 1 listen though I think "Three on a Match" is my favorite, such a good closer. It's a gloomy day over her in Maryland and this album fits the mood so perfectly. Gorgeous album all around and to be honest I liked The Albatross, but not that much. This outdoes it by a mile in my opinion.

I am in Houston and we have been getting pounded by rain so I totally feel you on it.
But yeah it is such a great album. I loved The Albatross but there were weaknesses on it.. this I feel like there is none.
I also feel like this could be thought of as the first "post-emo" album

Oh, shit, I finally stumbled upon the rad music thread!
I've had The Hotelier's Home, Like Noplace Is There (and The Antler's Hospice) on repeat for the entire fucking week. Really incredible album that's hitting my mood perfectly.

Saw Tiny Moving Parts, Jeff Rosenstock, and Modern Baseball in Houston this weekend.
Jeff Rosenstock might have been one of the funniest and most entertaining shows I've seen. They played a hilarious cover of Seal's Kiss From a Rose and played up how they expected most people not to know who the hell they were.
Modern Baseball killed it as they usually do.

I saw them back in the Spring and they played The Killers' When You Were Young as their encore. They weren't super great live, but it was a pretty fun show.
Also, seeing Rosenstock just seems like a great time. I'd love to hear his Seal cover, man.
I've seen Mobo 3 times now, and it's been neat to see their crowds grow. However, This show was super annoying in terms of people fucking with shit on stage, kicking over mic stands, shouting into the mic. Regardless, I wouldn't rate them above say the hotelier but I always enjoy the show.
The Seal cover was both one of the worst and best things I've ever had the (dis)pleasure of hearing. It helps that the song was held up in contrast to one of the best albums of the year in We Cool?
Filthy Slug
Crowd screaming like hounds at the heat of the chase/ All the colors of the rainbow flood my face
Haha, that reminds me of early Front Bottoms shows. There would be douches clawing their way up to the stage and then hopping around, phone in hand, filming themselves alongside the band. But those crowds morphed into the best ones real fucking quick, thankfully.
And now you have me wanting to go to a Jeff Rosenstock show, man! Jamming out to We Cool? may not cover it anymore.

They did a full Killers cover set at Fest, with help from Greg & Tom from The Menzingers and Bob from Captain We're Sinking. I didn't leave in time to get in as it was first thing on day 2 basically, but there's a video of it up on Youtube. Seemed hella fun.
When they came through last year and I saw them, I commented to my friend that I love Moden Baseball but fuck their fans. I mean I get they're mostly younger people who're just getting into more underground stuff, but fuck me if they aren't annoying as fuck. They also didn't care about Spraynard which is just indefensible, GAWD.
Rosenstock was fucking amazing at Fest. I'm still pissed at myself for not seeing BtMI when they came over.
Don't get me started on assholes doing that shit at tFB. Saw them in Columbia a while back and the morons messed up their trumpet and interrupted the final verse to Twin Sized mattress. That's like the greatest verse they've ever written and the snot nosed punks ruined it.
And I highly recommend seeing Rosenstock if you get the chance.

The Hotelier at Fest. It was so fucking good. I'm in the video! Left of the stage, like 5 people back? Long blonde hair, glasses and I keep clutching my shoulder when singing along. See if you can spot me!

Have you guys checked out The Cardboard Swords yet? I was having a hard time this week trying to come up with a top ten albums for this year, but then I went to check out the Count Your Lucky Stars bandcamp and found a new album to add to the list.
Some other albums this year I have been stoked about are:
Hop Along - Painted Shut
mewithoutYou - Pale Horses
oso oso - Real Stories of True People Who Kind Of Looked Like Monsters
Spraynard - Mable
The World is a Beautiful Place & I am No Longer Afraid to Die - Harmlessness
Turnover - Peripheral Vision
So overall it hasn't been a bad year, but last year was just amazing! I mean we had good or great records from The Hotelier, Pianos Become the Teeth, La Dispute, Prawn, Empire! Empire!, Braid, Tigers Jaw, The Jazz June, Kittyhawk, Tiny Moving Parts and Gates!
Is there anything coming up in the next month? What else did you like from this year?
I wasn't that impressed with Annabel or Foxing upon the first few listens. Maybe I should give them another chance.

I really liked Forgettable but Joy, Departed hasn't done much for me yet, but I haven't listened to it for a few months so I'll go give it another shot. I like the split with Somos though. Didn't really like Donovan Wolfington album either on first listen although I liked Stop Breathing but I'll give it another shot too.

So what is everyone's top 3 albums this year? We could do some voting but I feel like almost everyone's top 3 will be pretty different so I feel like it would be useless to do a vote. So just share your top 3 for the year! Curious to see what everyone says
1. The World Is... - Harmlessness.
2. Foxing- Dealer
3. Marietta- As it Were
Funny how my AOTY worked out though. I adore Foxing and loved Dealer, but recently I realized that I found myself listening to Harmlessness a lot more and came to fully appreciate the entire album more than just a few standout tracks and it overtook Dealer which was a huge surprise to me.
Also Marietta's new album was awesome. Hard to leave out Sorority Noise though I feel like As It Were was better than Joy, Departed
Edit: it's As it Were not As it Is... idk why I thought that lol

Gotta go with
1. Turnover - Peripheral Vision
2. Runaway Brother - Mother
3. Marietta - As it Were
Number 1 was an easy choice, slept on that record until late in the year but once I heard it for the first time I keep coming back, still listen to it every day. Same with the new Runaway Brother record, instantly hooked by it. I loved Summer Death so I was pumped for new Marietta and it delivered.
Major honourable mentions to Hyperview by Title Fight, Joy, Departed by Sorority Noise, Having it All by Annabel and Everybody Is Going to Heaven by Citizen.
EDIT:
Forgot to mention that all 2015 releases from Run For Cover Records are free/pay what you want on their bandcamp right now, until midnight pacific tonight, in case anybody didn't know and is interested.

My top 3 this year are:
1) The Front Bottoms - Back on Top
2) The Hotelier - Home, Like NoPlace is There
3) The Mountain Goats - Beat the Champ
I'm gonna expound on these tomorrow or when it's not 3am, but this has been such a great year for music.
