what are the best screamo bands/albums?

someone give me their 5 essentials, I want to get more into screamo because I love emo and don't really know much about screamo. And i figure this is as good a place as any to ask.

Circle Takes the Square's "As the Roots Undo" is a must, if you hadn't gathered as much already. "A Retrospective" by Saetia is another.

I've heard CTTS, I love that album. I'll check out Saetia.

you and i discography is essential.

i think hot cross is better than saetia. they have the same vocalist though.

Et Tu Brute- Demo
Neil Perry- Lineage Situation
1905- Voice
Yaphet Kotto- Syncopated synthetic Laments For Love
A Day In Black In White- My Heroes Have always Killed Cowboys
I Would Set Myself on Fire For- ...Believes In Patterns
Montcalm- Demo
Orchid- Dance Tonight Revolution Tomorrow
Belle Epoque- A La Derive

Those are some of my favorites and just browse through here.

Heroin, Swings Kids, Angel Hair(I bum this band). The above list is quite creamy also.

I don't.

is everyone here that ****ing retarded to not mention Gospel once in a best emo album thread? learn good music plz k ty

I believe people are entitled to opinions, as you are.

Unless you're joking of course, then nevermind. :)

who the **** are you?

Gospel ****ing rules. Just saying.

First here's my list:

circle takes the square - as the roots undo
i would set myself on fire for you - believes in patterns
saetia - a retrospective
rites of spring - end on end
city of caterpillar

honorable mention: suis la lune - quiet, pull the strings ; orchid - dance tonight revolution tomorrow

Secondly I have been looking for hot cross and indian summer and cannot seem to find them anywhere, can anyone help out?

Best emo/screamo... I dunnO! is this a trick question?

Attack! Attack!- Someday Came Suddenly
Iwrestledabearonce-It's All Happening
Breathe Carolina-It's Classy, Not Classic

( i know the genres don't match, but these are my faves)

emo education thread

Excellent trolling, IWABO.

Did you see their icon?
Maybe they're not trolling. xD

No order...
Algernon Cadwallader- Some Kind Of Cadwallader
Castevet- Summer Fences
Cap'n Jazz- Analphabetapolothology
My Heart To Joy- Seasons In Verse
Q and Not U- No Kill No Beep Beep

Not my favorite subgenre of music, but still...

i have never liked gospel and i dont think i ever will. although they're kind of back together right now haha. has anyone been to their reunion shows?

I cried at a brokencyde show once. Powerful stuff.

Thought I'd bump this, the emocore/screamo genres don't get enough props around here, which I personally think is a travesty, so I'm going to attempt to generate discussion.

What are people's favourite albums?

City of Caterpillar - S/T
Gospel - The Moon is a Dead World
Anasarca - Discography 1994 - 1997
Indian Summer - Science
Pg.99 - Document #8

These are my personal favourites, I just think they hit me harder than other albums within the movement, though bands like Heroin, Maximillian Colby, Kodan Armada, Orchid, Caestles, Ampere, Jeromes Dream, Mesa Verde, Raein, Off Minor, Suis La Lune, Saetia, Swing Kids and Et Tu Brute are the shit too. Obviously the likes of Moss Icon, Rites of Spring and Dag Nasty were hugely influential too, and their albums are well worth the listen.

This is genuinely one of my favourite genres, and I love talking about it. I know there used to be some people around like Swim, Baronodude and Anticipation who dug it too, but is there anybody now? If so, what are your favourites? Show me the love! This forum is dead.

My 5 favourites are probably:

Native Nod
Jeromes Dream
Moss Icon
Clikatat Ikatowi
Off Minor

Jeromes Dream really do blow my mind. Those guitar riffs are ****ing insane!

I was more into this stuff a few years ago but I recently threw on Jeromes Dream and Heroin's discographies... they're both still excellent to listen to. I've never heard of Anasarca, might try and get my hands on their discog that you mentioned there Stu.

Yeah man do, I personally think it's the best emotional hardcore I've heard, so intense. I too was probably more into the whole thing a couple of years back, but whenever I put an album on it's a satisfying listen every time. I've never listened to Native Nod, will check them out.

The new Grown Ups and Empire! Empire! eps are really good. Baton Rouge and Crash of Rhinos, two new bands, had some really solid stuff.

I'll check it out man.

Off Minor's first is awesome.

not a genre i listen to much

At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command?
Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come?

In no particular order:

Funeral Diner: Swept Under EP
Raein: Il N'y a Pas D'Orchestre
Circle Takes The Square: As The Roots Undo
Indian Summer: Science 1994
Hot Cross: A New Set of Lungs

1. Circle Takes The Square - As the Roots Undo
2. Off Minor - The Heat Death of the Universe
3. Orchid - Chaos Is Me
4. City of Caterpillar - s/t
5. La Dispute - Somewhere At the Bottom Of the River Between Vega and Altair

Honorable mention to Cap'n Jazz - Schmap'n Schmazz

Haven't posted in here since '07..
No order.

1. City of Caterpillar - City of Caterpillar
2. Lion of the North - The Compass Calls
3. Indian Summer - Hidden Arithmetic
4. I Hate Myself - 10 Songs
5. Phasma Phasmatis - Demo (An Infinite Static Universe?)

This is just the past few weeks. Although City of Caterpillar is probably on my all-time top 5.
