Essential Emo Albums I Have Never Heard:
Artist: Taking Back Sunday
Album: Tell All Your Friends
Year: 2002
Before listening:
I have a tiny bit of familiarity with Taking Back Sunday. A while ago, one and a half year ago I think, I was hooked on the song “MakeDamnSure”. That's about it, though, maybe a couple of other songs too, but nothing more. My problem with the song now is the vocals. They sound so... fake, I don't know. They reminds me of cheese like The Academy Is... and Jack's Mannequin. This album was released four years earlier, and Butthead praises the hell out of it, so I hope that this will be different.
After listening:
Butthead, I can certainly see why you like this. The songs are all catchy, and I like the double vocals. But this is not for me. The vocals bug me, I suspect that they're autotuned, and I think that sincere and heartfelt vocal delivery is the most important part of emo music.
