Papa Universe
11.15.17 | Are Pup or Jeff Rosenstock Emo enough you think? |
AsleepInTheBack
11.15.17 | I've not heard it, Art.
Won't accept either of those unique, they're blended with genres (so far as I'm concerned) that are frequently combined with emo. |
AsleepInTheBack
11.15.17 | actually, are either of them emo at all really? punk/pop punk, innit? |
Papa Universe
11.15.17 | well, they have a certain emo-ish aesthetic... throught i might ride off of that. |
verdant
11.15.17 | heard both of those unique |
Papa Universe

AsleepInTheBack
12.28.17 | Daniel Striped Tiger: This thing riffs, albeit in an incredibly clumsy and haphazard manner. Fervently performed yet thoughtfully composed, ‘Condition’ captures an air of fire and spontaneity whilst not sacrificing nuance. In that sense, I think it shares alot with old school Converge, even though it is (of course) quite a different beast. Sad boi jams for days. 3.7/5.
Flatsound: An absurdly melancholic record, relentlessly wallowing in its own grief in such an overblown and self-aware way that it’s actually quite charming. The way it hops around from ambient to country to lo-fi folk to emo is as unusual as it is seamless, creating something pretty special along the lines as All Human and The Newfound Interest in Connecticut. Hits all the right notes and makes my chest hurt. 4.2/5.
Cloakroom: Feels about twice as long it should be, but the core of this thing is fantastic. Sucks you in and refuses to let go with a weird mix of genres: a pensive, grungy post-hardcore base, topped a splash of shoegaze here and a dab of post-rock there. Its length, coupled with its trudging pace, does make for a bit of a tiresome listen as a whole, but the individual components are stellar. 3.3/5
Which puts the scores at
1) Art: 96.3
2) Con: 92.7
3) Unique: 90.8 |
Papa Universe
12.28.17 | Yay |
Papa Universe
01.10.18 | We can make this round final if you people are not interested anymore. |
AsleepInTheBack
01.10.18 | Would be nice to do one more to cap it off with a planned final round, but I think this is dead. |
Artuma
01.10.18 | good game guys |
Mort.
01.10.18 | didnt expect to see daniel striped tiger on here. good band. |
Papa Universe
01.21.18 | hello |
Artuma
01.21.18 | this thread is still going? |
Papa Universe
01.21.18 | dunno
Doesn't seem so... Asleep already posted his thoughts, verdant seems busy, clavier isn't around that often anymore at all, Friv didn't seem to care much to begin with... |
Papa Universe
02.04.18 | I guess verdant will now depart our pleb ranks for more staffworthy horizons, while Claire might be around more often, now that she's been given more responsibility. |
Artuma
02.04.18 | cool |
Papa Universe
02.09.18 | oi |
Artuma
02.09.18 | there still isn't a consensus how the wannabe emo queen of the site has won this competition? you guys are resilient |
Papa Universe
02.09.18 | technically speaking, you've won already and anyway, so we don't have to continue this. just some official closure would be nice.. |
Conmaniac
02.10.18 | tru emos dont need closure, just eternal sadness |
Papa Universe
02.10.18 | I thought true emos are all about self-inflicted closure... |
Artuma
02.10.18 | "tru emos dont need closure, just eternal sadness"
true, all we need is just mineral on repeat |
AsleepInTheBack
02.10.18 | OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: It's over guys.

Papa Universe
