47. The Fall Of Troy "The Fall Of Troy"
Genre: Progressive/Experimental/Hardcore Released: November 4th, 2003 Label: Lujo Records Tracklist: 1. Rockstar Nailbomb! 2. Spartacus 3. The Circus That Has Brought Us Back to These Nights (Yo Chocola) 4. Mouths Like Sidewinder Missiles 5. The Last March of the Ents 6. F.C.P.S.I.T.S.G.E.P.G.E.P.G.E.P. 7. Whacko Jacko Steals the Elephant Man's Bones 8. Reassurance Rests in the Sea 9. The Adventures of Allan Gordon 10. I Just Got This Symphony Goin' 11. What Sound Does a Mastodon Make? Coming out of the Washington experimental hardcore scene thats produced such bands of as the Blood Brothers the Fall Of Troy play a blend of progressive rock and hardcore. Their two biggest influences being Rush and At The Drive-In and it clearly shows. The vocals range from rush-esque singing to screaming and screeching and fast paced spazzy music with Thoms quick and also spazzy guitaring. The album was recorded when they were 17 and in one week throughout one take, it doesn't show at all, though theres one mistake in FCPSITSGEPGEPGEP that I didn't really notice until my best friend pointed it out to me. The album is a fast paced album except for one song and shows their more hardcore side which isn't as prominent in their later releases. Its possibly my favorite album to come out of the Seattle hardcore scene, and my favorite release by the Fall Of Troy who are also one of my favorite bands to come out of the Seattle hardcore scene. Favorite Songs: Rockstar Nailbomb!, F.C.P.S.I.T.S.G.E.P.G.E.P.G.E.P., I Just Got This Symphony Goin', Whacko Jacko Steals the Elephant Man's Bones purevolume™ | The Fall Of Troy will upload on request. |

46. 65daysofstatic "One Time For All Time"
Genre: Post-Rock/Electronic Released: October 24th, 2005 Label: Monotreme Tracklist: 1. Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here 2. Await Rescue 3. 23kid 4. Welcome To The Times 5. Mean Low Water 6. Climbing On Roofs 7. The Big Afraid 8. 65 Doesn't Understand You 9. Radio Protector 65daysofstatic is a british instrumental/electronic post-rock band, and were one of the first post-rock bands I really got into and next to Sigur Ros and Explosions In The Sky my favorite. Normally I chill to post-rock albums and can only listened to them in a relaxed mood, this album I can basically put on at anytime, its kind of hard to choose favorite songs because the whole thing is such a trip from beginning to end, but my favorite is probably Radio Protector. Favorite Songs: Radio Protector, Drove Through Ghosts To Get Here, Climbing On Roofs, Await Rescue Upload upon request. www.myspace.com/11488230 |

45. Sunny Day Real Estate "The Rising Tide"
Genre: Indie-Rock/Post-Emo (ish) Released: June 20th, 2000 Label: Time Bomb Recordings Tracklist: 1. Killed by an Angel 2. One 3. Rain Song 4. Disappear 5. Snibe 6. The Ocean 7. Fool in the Photograph 8. Tearing in My Heart 9. Television 10. Faces in Disguise 11. The Rising Tide Sunny Day Real Estate was an influential indie/post-emo band from seattle. They helped start the whole post-emo movement though towards their later releases began to stray from that sound and showed more indie-rock influences and in some songs acoustic influences. The Rising Tide still holds some of their original sound though since its their last release its vastly different from Diary. I prefer this one just because it has my favorite songs on it, and because it was the first Sunny Day album I heard. I fell in love with Jeremys voice the first time I heard it, though on the earlier albums it evokes more emotion it still sounds fantastic on the Rising Tide and more matured and polished and he sings the lines like "We sink like stones / And we're lost beneath the waves /Not a trace to mark the graves" beautifully. Favorite Songs: The Rising Tide, Rain Song, One, Disappear Link: hxxp://www.divshare.com/download/292876-bc6 www.myspace.com/onedayistoppedbreathing |
