When did you realize that this is the greatest achievement of emo in the 21st century so far?
always thought their first album was better T b h
that one's still good though

really don't understand the hype. it's technically interesting but the songwriting is balls and the vocals are incredibly grating. and not even in the charmingly naive way of midwest emo.
>>66002707
>songwriting is balls
how could someone think this.
Around my 3rd listen.
>>66002707
if unusual vocals put you off music you shouldnt be listening to emo.
Bruh, masked dancers is better.
>>66003062
thats no excuse for the vocals being terrible lol
>>66002965
seriously.
>You're not listening, I said "stop," because it's come to be too much. I can't just pile aesthetic-perceptive dilemma, over-analytic demeanors, feelings of loneliness, worthlessness and unproductivity atop the other, allowing each to bleed through their fabricated boundaries and become one more thing to notice me before it's too late and too far away from when I dreamt of explaining to you that you are an everywhere that caused these words I'd somehow type, my fingers, feet and diaphragm all screaming. And as things grew more complicated, conscious expansion cultivated, the books' ideas, songs' polyphony, texture, content danced around me. Unlike all the events staged (the puppeteer'd façade I'd made) this was naturally extraordinary and grabbed me from the ordinary, now perceived reduction theory of where we are.

thats lyrics, only a very small part of songwriting and likely not what original anon meant lol
Shit's incredible. Got into it heavy last winter. Started listening to Masked Dancers the fall following, and it's what I tend to listen to more when I want some Abacus. I dunno if it's better or I'm just burnt out on Discomfort, but they're both stellar albums.

>lyrics
>mattering
lmao
but that's not even their best album
pic related however is the greatest prog-emo (or emo-prog) album ever recorded, for what that's worth
>>66003124
they're not, though. their frailty and even their timbre fits perfect with the style, on top of that he's a fantastic performer, in terms of theatrics i mean (but imo better on pic related tho)
>>66003124
But they fit perfectly.
>>66003540
You also shouldn't be listening to emo
>>66003719
so youre admitting everything else about the album is also terrible ;)
I think the vocals really make it stand out.
It's kind of like the black dyed hair and hot topic tier t-shirts that make a shitty poet more convincing.
It's not so bad that it's good kind of sense, it's that it gives the music feel authentic
>>66003920
o shit i just got beaned
>>66003976
