Motion City/ At the Drive-In makes me love Emo
 

When it's done right, when it's un-refined.

When it's funky fresh.

That's when emo is acceptable.

so motion city is similar to at the drive-in?

Hells no
 

Nope, not in the slightest- sept for being really good emo.
They sound nothing alike.

Diffrent ends of the spectrum.

P.S. It's Motion City Soundtrack

oh, cause i really like relationship of command....so ....oh well....

Yeah, RelationShip of Command is great...so is in/CASINO/out.

But yeahz man, Motion City is just as good just not as...screamy.

meh...in casino out was a bit bland....and they're not that screamy, personally i can't take that emo-bull****-someone-is-strangling-a-cat-screaming, ATDI screaming was just right....

Yeahh don't go checking out Motion City Soundtrack if you're after something that sound like ATDI. And wouldn't say either of them were emo but who knows these days??
I like them both anyway.
i love a good dance to motion city's - The Future freaks me out, with its catchy pop-tune-ness
and one of my favourite songs is ATDI - One Armed Scissor. Both good, for different reasons though.

I cant STAND Motion City Soundtrack
they're SO emo scene

Motion City Soundtrack- "Everything is Alright" is like joy in a bottle. You can't call it emo. It's one of those good catchy pop bands, good to listen to if you're into that stuff.

^theyre also horrible live.

^ not for me.

they are joy in a bottle. good call zealious.

Wow, nothing alike, but call it what you will. I love ATDI and the split bands, but Motion City is not my cup of tea.

i agree, motion city, joy in a bottle, and i agree yet again, that a great atdi song is one armed scissor...

but as for motion city sucking live, ive got vids, and they seem pretty good, justin can sing great!...but until they come to aust, i guess ill have to wait

*hangs head*

MCS owns your soul.

not emo....either....and i met motion city while on tour with my band in texas a few summers ago......real jerks

At The Drive In breaking up was one of the greatest things that could happen in music IMO...and for all TMV fans out there as well...and the reason i read that they broke up was that ATDI was holding Cedric back from what he really wanted...He didnt wanna be Labelled as just "punk" or "emo" or "hardcore" ....
he thought that it should encompass many different genres and be even more progressive, alternative, and "against-the-grain"...cedric and Omar went to form The Mars Volta...easily one of my favourite bands right now

True, I saw them on maybe Conan and they weren't good at all, but the setup for most bands on the tonight shows usually suck so maybe it wasn't their fault.

Anyway, both are good bands, but neither are really emo. MCS is pop, or pop-punk and I guess ATDI is post-hardcore.

Yay! someone who can articulate my sleepy thoughts!

the Conan show shoulnd't be what you base your judgement of MCS off of. They were clearly nervous, justin got out of breath at one part, and the moog was turned up too loud, so there were just some minor problems.

ATDI are great, but I'm really disappointed with the bands they went on to form. I've never heard any Motion City Soundtrack, and I don't really want to.

You're disapointed :eek: This is how is goes...
The Mars Volta >> Sparta>>ATDI
Basically.. Both the bands own ATDI
IMO!

no way.

atdi>>tmv>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>sparta

Dude..I guess to each their own..but their all pretty different from eachother..so its hard to actually compare..but TMV >>>>>>>>ALL!

Pretty much.

to set you all straight, it's TMV>>>ATDI>>>Sparta....it's just how it is...

That would make sense, if TMV weren't god awful.

I will say

ATDI >>>>>>> TMV>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Sparta

I really don't like TMV or Sparta, but ATDI are great, got about 6 CDs a few weeks ago.

*dissmisses statement as the ramblings of a mad woman*
6 what? as far as i know they only have 3 albums and only relationship of command is brilliant, the others are average at best....

adidasss, *sigh*

I've got:

Relationship of Command
In Casino Out
Acrobatic Tenement
Anthology
El Gran Orgo
Alfaro Vive, Cajaro!

Don't question me bitch.

motion city soundtrack suxxx major balls, and dont even get me started in At The Drive-In

o man ithinkmybabyisacommunist, your a genious

plus tons of b-sides and such like hell paso and vaya.

but yes. so damn good.

i don't care for motion city either...but please expand on atdi.

well i am sorry but "atdi" suxx major ass, i mean serioulsy what guy wears girls pants, and their music truly does suck

Can you think of why it sucks? Besides "it truly sucks". And where does wearing girl pants come into the equation?

moses loves ATDI
moses finds MCS like zelious said joy in a bottle
moses doesn't love ithinkmybabyisacommunist
moses thinks his/her name is silly
moses also thinks his/her reasoning for ATDI sucking is stupid
so by the transitive property of congruency
ithinkmybabyisacommunist is stupid

:D:D

I dislike communist and communist children.

ATDI are undisputably one of the most influential bands in rock history

this thread is called "motion city soundtrack and at the drive-in make me love emo"
how is atdi emo?
personally i dont see it being emo at all

You saw Motion City Soundtrack and ATDI and decided that ATDI weren't Emo?

mcs sucks.
