Any of first 3 brand new albums


Most emo purists prob don't consider them emo but whatevs. Part of them is I think

Brand New definitely has emo elements, and they're definitely where you should start as they're pretty accessible too.

yeah I was just spouting shit. I don't really know the origins of Emo but good to know and thanks for correcting me.

And there're supreme metal bands from some other places: Angra, from Brazil; lots of good ones from Germany, Finland, etc etc... Rush from Canada...
Anyway, "what's better, this or that?" "Who's the best...?" ... dismal threads

Every single time :laughing:

You should hear Diary by Sunny Day Real Estate. It's great, and one of the most influental emo albums released. You will have a good idea of what emo is after listening.

Personally I think the best symphonic metal bands come from across the pond aka Europe. The one thing that I love about music is how a region influences the style which is why we have so many different varieties and sounds to choose from.

I don't even know where 90% of the bands I listen to are from.

How's that even possible? :rolleyes:

1st post; hopefully more to come.

From my experience ... old head here ... Americans always seem to be the originators but UK artists refine it and vastly improve it.

I dunno, I just hear of a band, look up their discography, and that's it. Sometimes I try to remember the name of the frontman.
Don't ask how I listen to most of my music....
I think I should spend some more money on music and less on video games. But Video games get on sale all the time(Steam, gog, humble bundle, green man gaming,etc), and music doesn't :c.
