Haha. This is great.

Yeah, Propagandhi run of albums from Today's Empires on is flawless. When people wax nostalgic for their early albums, I almost get mad because the new stuff totally wipes the floor with those albums. It's not even fair.
While Lagwagon's Let's Talk About Feelings is my favorite of theirs, I was always really impressed…

90s pop punk/skate punk/emo records that are still great, despite no longer being regarded as cool:
Rancid albums 2-4
Hot Water Music albums 2-4
The Mr. T Experience - Love Is Dead
Lagwagon - Let's Talk About Feelings
The Promise Ring - Nothing Feels Good
Cap'n Jazz - Burritos…
Mock Orange - Nines & Sixes
NOFX - So Long And…

I think you're describing the wrong wave of emo.

How someone can so easily dismiss Rancid is absolutely beyond me. They had a trio of albums that included two genre classics and one out-and-out classic. And it holds up too.

Entombed - Carnal Leftovers
Darkthrone - I En Hail Med Flesk Og Mjod
Beach Boys - That's Not Me (Vocals Only)
Woods of Ypres - Adora Vivos
The Records - Held Up High

Easily one of my favorite movies of all time. I could watch it over and over.
Late-era Bunuel is so good.

Basically.

As a 31-year-old Weezer fan, it's nice to see Maladroit getting a little revisionist love. It's nowhere near the first two albums, but it's as good a straight-up commercial guitar rock record as you're going to get in this century.

I think, if you came of age after grunge's peak, you really have to fight to listen to that stuff in a vacuum, free of the knowledge of what their progeny wrought. I still can't hear Pearl Jam the way some people can. That said, Soundgarden seem to do the huge Zeppelin-esque rock god thing right, and if you really…

Congratulations, everyone, on being Radiohead fans. Way to put yourselves out there.

I really didn't care for Soundgarden for years and I thought that Cornell was just some meatheaded, pseudo-rock God. Then I realized I was just basing that on Audioslave.

I thought the same thing. I was wrong. I had my anti-grunge/rock dude biases in full effect for 20 years. Superunknown has aged really well.

I was one who dug "Black Hole Sun" but was wary of the whole grunge scene and Soundgarden's whole macho rock star aesthetic. But I've been listening to the album lately and it's really terrific. Just some magnificent rock songs. It's easy to lump Soundgarden in with what came after (Creed, nu-metal), but in listening…

Yeah, I've got tons of time for Clockwork Angels.

If the "Mastodon is the new Metallica" thing were to truly stick (and it basically has up to this point), then Once More 'Round The Sun would be Load…and it isn't Load at all.

I'd never heard him before and now I want to hear everything he's ever done. Radness. Thanks.

My band was a pimple on the ass of that Western Canadian scene - played shows with Moneen, Misdemeanor, The Buddy System, The Last Deal, Strength In Solitude, Change Methodical, The Johnsons - some killer bands.
I discovered ATDI at Vaya and was obsessed for a couple years, but yeah, Relationship Of Command feels…

Most sources say November 99, while I see a few that say Jan. 1, 2000.

I remember really enjoying Choose Bronze, but it wasn't close to Hot Water Music. I'll need to re-listen. I feel like At The Drive-In holds up really poorly, but Vaya was their closest to a great album.
I saw Chore and thought of Choke, an Edmonton technical punk band that released their best album, Foreword, in 99.…
