Essential Emo Albums I Have Never Heard:
Let's all hope Google doesn't censor this
Artist: Jawbreaker
Album: Bivouac
Year: 1992
Before listening:
Alright, so I'm continuing where I left off, with Jawbreaker's sophomore album (the CD version, of course). Hearing
Unfun got me eager to check these guys out further, and that fits well because I don't think any other second wave emo was released during 1990-1992, thus I'm following the chronological order.
After listening:
I think this is a little less raw and speedy than the debut. I say “think”, because the tracks from the Chesterfield King EP are scattered across the tracklisting making it harder to tell what the album was originally supposed to sound like. I wish they did it the same way as with Unfun, placing the bonus tracks at the very end *sigh*. Anyway, maybe I'll grow on this album, but I think I prefer Unfun.
