My Blue Heaven is also my fav TBS song

 

Holy shit, that album has been so memory-holed for some reason but, yes, was big around these parts.

 

I never got into any of their albums but it was inspiring how hard Moneen hustled. They opened what felt like fucking every tour from 2003-2006 and then got the deal and budget to put out an album people loved on its own.

Earlier song but the end of "Are We Really Happy With Who We Are Right Now" ranks high among the most cathartic moments in the genre for me.

 

I saw Moneen on a co-headline tour with Bayside around this time, without knowing too much about them. They were so good live, and I was a bit disappointed that none of what I heard from their studio records was anywhere near as good as how they sounded live. Probably one of the best live performers from the various “scene” bands I’ll have seen at this time period.

 

I caught Moneen on Warped 07(?) and thought their set was pretty much perfect. Loved every bit of it.

I always preferred Are We Really Happy. The emotion on that record is so palpable. Also,

 

Popping up on various lists so far, and a name I'm not really familiar with was Mutemath's self-titled debut album. This is quite good! Reminds me a bit of something like 30 Seconds to Mars, and that kind of blend of arena rock meeting alternative rock. There's some really cool, instrumental bits to it, that are a bit post rock-esque, or just a bit experimental in general.

An enjoyable first listen, and while I do feel that it was perhaps all blurring into one by the time it came towards the end, there are some cool sounds to this.

 

Also the coolest music video!

Seriously everything about them is wonderful. They really should have taken off.

 

same here

 

the redacted band absolutely would have won in 06 haha

 

1.) Copeland - Eat, Sleep, Repeat
2.) My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
3.) The Format - Dog Problems
4.) Mutemath - Mutemath

 

cool that you're just now discovering this! And they did in fact make some awesome music videos as @Henry said.

Their frontman Paul Meany is now a close collaborator with Twenty One Pilots - he has been a big part of their songwriting/producing since 2019, and I believe is even a touring member now.

 

Mutemath put on the greatest live shows too! Paul was a great frontman and Darren was amazing to watch on the drums

 

I can't believe weird Al is gonna win this week

 

He deserves it

 

guys i don’t want to get your hopes up

 

Mutemath were a phenomenal band through and through

 

wish i knew more of their stuff, have liked what i heard

 

Play Dead is my fav Mutemath album

 

Every Mutemath album is my favorite

 

even the Paul solo one is pretty great

 

I've never seen this til now but it's amazing, wow.

 

1. My Chemical Romance - The Black Parade
2. The Hold Steady - Boys & Girls in America
3. The Decemberists - The Crane Wife

 

Unfortunately haven't heard much other than Typical, but I love that song.

 

I've been meaning to check out that Mutemath album for over 10 years.
