Reference Points |
| 38 |  | The Pax Cecilia
Blessed Are The Bonds
This should probably be a bit higher I suppose. It's just one I don't come back to as often because it's such an exhausting journey. Incredible music though. |
| 37 |  | The Death of Anna Karina
The Death of Anna Karina
This album is so underrated. Probably one of the most unique albums on this list. It jumps around between a lot of different styles, but no moment feels like it doesn't belong. Very esoteric but packs no less of a raw, skramzy punch for it. |

Bummed by Cara Neir's recent breakup? This should fill that void for ya. |
| 27 |  | Circle Takes the Square
As the Roots Undo
This has grown off me a bit over the years. If I made this list back in high school, this probably would've been #1. These days, it's just a bit harder to ignore how try-hard it is. And some of the skramz parts are a bit overly senseless. All that said, it still makes the list for its uniqueness and its slew of undeniably amazing moments. |

Boys Life EP
When I think of this type of skramz - light, clean guitar tones + math rocky rhythms + impassioned scream-singing on top - this is one of the first things I think of. A short and sweet 4 songs. Deserves way more love. Check it. |

Their return to skramz after a 20+ year-long identity crisis made the top 20. I guess that's how you know they're good. |
