Balance and Composure - Light We Made (Oct 7 2016) Album • Page 85

I also favor B&C over Title Fight. And it’s not exactly close.

 

Title Fight
Touche
Balance

whet other bands from this era am I missing?

 

I always lump Citizen and Basement in with that group

 

PBTT, la dispute

 

yep. also turnover, tigers jaw, daylight/superheaven.

la dispute and touche amore are outside of this genre imo. I have no scientific reasoning for that, just they're a bit heavier musically.

 

Remember when people tried to call it “the wave” and it didn’t stick at all

 

Time to rank

 

S tier: Title Fight, Touche Amore*
A tier: B&C, La Dispute*
B tier: Basement, Turnover, Tigers Jaw, Pity Sex

didn't really listen to citizen/daylight/superheaven

Bonus ranking of B&C albums to stay on topic: TWTWM > Light we Made > Tigers Jaw split > Separations

 

Damn remember Sainthood Reps

 

Headswell was a great record.

New Dikembe record reminds me a lot of Sainthood Reps.

 

Title Fight, B&C, Daylight, Pity Sex

Citizen, Basement, Turnover, Tigers Jaw, Pianos

Touche Amore, Sainthood Reps, Seahaven

...


.................


La Dispute

 

Rooms of the House is the best record from all those bands

 

Anyone remember Make Do and Mend? Do they count? I miss that band either way.

 

Oof

 

Pianos and B&C

all the rest.

 

Seahaven I would throw in as well

 

Yeah they were a part of “the wave”. End Measured Mike was sick, follow up was a Worthy attempt at being a little more polished, follow up did that did nothing for me, and based on seeing them perform some of those songs, I wasn’t the only one that felt way.

side note: my buddy in college actually had a “the wave” shirt he wore all the time. PBTT, touché Amore, la dispute, MDAM, and Defeater.

 

Pianos is at the top of that mountain, hands down.

wish we got more from Superheaven.

 

My favorites from this era of revival emo (or whatever) are definitely the Separation, TTWTWM, Keep You, and Floral Green. I feel like things really shifted with Peripheral Vision and Hyperview.

 

Never could really get into title fight

 

That's a shame. I think "Head in the Ceiling Fan" is THE defining song from this era.

 

nice to see a B&C thread bumped because they usually get a dominating share of my rotation in the fall. gonna throw on TTWTWM later on.

 

this is the one song of theirs I really enjoy haha

 

The album took me a while to get into. Numb But I Still Feel It, Head in the Ceiling Fan, Make You Cry, Frown and In-Between are my highlights, especially In-Between if you like HITCF.

 

la dispute and pianos >>>> everyone else. in that order. wildlife is the second best album of all time.
