btw TMP's album is definitely my AOTY so far, probably followed by Modern Baseball or Radiohead
It will be on my top 10 for sure. But I still need more time with it.
Modern Baseball, Hotelier and Pinegrove are my top 3 so far.

Also, Somos have a new video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOylM4ACEKo
And apparently they are on Hopeless and have a new record. I had no idea.
Thanks for this. Here's the bandcamp link:

I don't see my top 3 changing any time soon for my AOTY. I am curious what the rest of the year holds for this and related genres.
Well actually the new If These Trees Could Talk record could for sure break into my top 3

There's a new Brand New record coming.... Everything still can change!
Top 10 EmoGaf records of the year will be the most anticipated award of the season I'm sure!
ill have to check this out. Give somos another shot.
Also, did you go to Carolina?
you're old as fuck man.
OG emo
Yeah. I was there '94-'99
let's all get together and listen to emo vinyl and smoke weed and drink crappy beer in a self loathing manner in our skinny pants and band t-shirts
I wear a shit ton of flannel too dude
lol i do too but it's so hot outside this time of year, no flannel for me
not trve emo enuff
dang, i'd never really listened to PUP because a friend who i trust pretty well said he hated them but i checked out the first few tracks of their new album and it's great and i'm a dummy
I edited the track order on Holy Ghost so that it feels more cohesive as a whole and more even to listen to front to back, and I like the album even better this way. Its basically every other song from Jake's and Brendan's sides, aside from the first two tracks remaining the same and Hiding as the album closer after Just Another Face. Wedding Singer straight into Coding These to Lukens is very satisfying. Try it out.

Damn man. That means you dodged the 0-11 years right?

Mike Kinskeletal released a dope meme
not emo related at all but this new Thrice is all kinds of wonderful.
This PUP record is tiiiiiight. Glad I held out on listening to it until now.
Doubts is probably my favourite track so far, that chorus "now that I got nothing you're having your doubts/you packed all of your bags and moved them all out" is so fucking catchy.
EDIT: Oh shit the Side One Dummy shop reminded me that Chuck Ragan did the soundtrack for The Flame In The Flood, I need to get that game for that reason alone
Real Friends sounds alright after 1 listen, will come back to it later
next up PUP
next up Chance The Rapper since it got on google play music
And GoodnessPUP and Thrice today make today a good day. Both albums are great. The Thrice one in particular exceeded all expectations I had. Some massive riffs on there.
And Goodness
Don't forget Goodness
It's definitely a grower. I needed a couple of listens as well before I really connected with it as a whole. But when it did, oh boy.I've been scared to say this publicly because everyone here seems to love it but I'm not immediately sold on it. That was only after one listen though so maybe it's a grower.
is anyone else not missing Empire Empire at all?
They were alright but I feel like they won't be all that missed.
I was never into them at all. I appreciate they were pretty popular and a lot of bands in the scene respected the shit out of them but they just didn't click with me.
My Modern Baseball record finally came in today. Shit is briiiiight yellow. Interesting note: the sides are labelled "J" and "B" for "Jake" and "Brendan". Also the insert has a big "for papa" on it which is nice.
I love this band.
