After listening to Nothing Feels Good a couple of times, I was ready to do a deep dive back into midwest emo. Frame and Canvas is my other favorite album from this era, but I’d seen this playlist a while ago and thought I should branch out. It’s pretty great, and has some nice surprises
like an ATCQ track from that period, and the realization that Third Eye Blind actually kind of fits in with this music. I’ve now added a bunch of albums from this era to my library to listen to; a lot of them I had read about or seen in catalogs back in the day, but didn’t have the money to buy them, library didn’t have them, couldn’t find them on file sharing, had no friends into this kind of music, etc. Had no friends, basically, hence this kind of music?
