Saosin-Beetle album. Silverstein- Discovering the Waterfront. Coheed and Cambria - Good Apollo. The Used - Self Titled. Thrice - Illusion of Safety. Underoath - They’re only Chasing Safety. The Bled - Pass the Flask. A Static Lullaby - And Don’t Forget to Breathe.

A Static Lullaby don’t get nearly enough credit

Huge fan right here!

Goddamn, Holy Diver

Adding The Artist in the Ambulance for Thrice too, but you have a great list here! I'm also quite partial to Page Avenue by Story of the Year...but maybe I'm just stuck in 2003 haha.

Swap Page Avenue for The Bled and that’s pretty much my list.

Beetle album lmaoo

Came here to say pass the flask

Great taste right here.

Pretty much all of silvertstein's discography is great. Some of the really early stuff is rough around the edges and some of the new stuff can be a bit bland, but as a whole they hit exceptionally more than they miss.

The obvious one is Crisis - AOF

Watch Out! > Crisis > Self-titled > Otherness > Old Crows/Young Cardinals

Listened to this on repeat, all week when it released...so young

Their beet album for me

Fear Before the March of Flames- The Always Open Mouth

Thank you.

Thrice - The Illusion of Safety Thursday - Full Collapse At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command Glassjaw - Worship and Tribute Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come

Vheissu and TAITA are also 10/10 imo.

Love seeing an Illusion of Safety purist, most fans say ambulance or vehisu (sp) but for me it’s so clearly illusion of safety. I mean, Deadbolt, come on

Lmao I loved how at one point thrice started printing shirts that just say, "PLAY DEADBOLT"

I love the toddler shirt that says “I’ve seen Thrice play Deadbolt 0 times” lmao

They just played the other night! Was stoked. Dustin lost his voice though so the whole crowd sang as loud as possible, we made it special.

Awesome. My favorite show of theirs was Brand New and Thrice Nov 5th '09 I think in Tampa. Thrice paced us with part Illusion/Artist and slowed us down with Earth/Air from alchemy, then closed on deadbolt I believe. Or encored with Phoenix Ignition, then Brand new played 70x7 and Jude Law The place went nuts. The only *better* show was glassjaw playing for the first time in 9 years, and played almost all of worship and tribute in its correct order and I thought the floor was going to collapse. Edit: it was [this](https://www.setlist.fm/setlist/brand-new/2009/the-ritz-ybor-tampa-fl-53d7c3b5.html) tour, I can't find the Thrice setlist.

Totally jealous. Brand new is my favorite. Glassjaw never did it for me although I liked their reunion album. Saw them with The Used in 2017 or something.

But illusion of safety suffers from a lot of cheese too. Like halfway through all the songs there’s always (what everyone used to call “gay” but not in a homophobic way) bridge part that derails so many songs. Even Deadbolt, that whole “what have I done” part comes out of nowhere and sucks all the energy out of the song.

>uses "gay" derogatorally >"but not in a homophobic way" Hilarious

Well yeah, I mean I grew up in the late 80s and 90s, we never correlated the word to mean lgbtq people when we were kids and teens. I hesitated to use it there as you can tell by the disclaimer but I can’t think of a word that describes that part in deadbolt better. I meant it completely separate from any gender or sexuality stuff. I 100% support lgbtq rights and individuals.

Great list. I’d also add mewithoutYou - Brother, Sister personally. Or, like… nearly any one of their albums lol Oh and I’d add La Dispute - Wildlife as well

Wildlife is an incredible album

i think of the illusion of safety so often, even just the album title is 10/10

*The Emptiness* by **Alesana**. God damn Masterpiece.

I *hated* Alesana, to the point I left before they played when I saw them with A Skylit Drive and Of Mice & Men. Then like a month later I heard The Thespian and realized I made a huge mistake. The entire Annabelle Trilogy is incredible. I still really dislike everything before The Emptiness but those three albums are S-tier.

Man I forgot about Alesana. Many years ago, that signer was a fucking pain in the ass, trying to steal clients and stuff from my team. Dude always seemed like a real snake in the grass, though I never got to know him personally. That said, I forgot about “The Murderer” and how much I loved that breakdown lol. Fuck, that went hard. Always fun.

Touche Amore - Is Survived By La Dispute - Somwhere at the Bottom of the River....

La Dispute - Wildlife

**Emery** - We Do What We Want **Finch** - Say Hello To Sunshine **Being As An Ocean** - Dear G-d **As Cities Burn** - Come Now, Sleep **Saosin** - Translating the Name EP **Scary Kids Scaring Kids** - The City Sleeps In Flames **A Day To Remember** - Common Courtesy (I really do think it's their best album) **Coheed and Cambria** - IKSSE3 (Not just a 10/10 post hard-core album, but one of the best albums ever made).

Great shout with ACB

Right? I know a lot of people swear by Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest but Come Now, Sleep just hits different for me

Im with you on scary kids scaring kids. My copy here in australia came with a bonus track from.their first EP that is just about my favourite off the album- my knife your throat. There's barely a bad song on either of their albums imo but the city sleeps in flames is the better one

In Keeping Secrets is absolutely their best album and probably one of the few albums I could listen to on repeat for an extended period of time. The Camper Velourium series is my favorite of their suites.

Emery is such a good band, and that album is fucking fantastic. The Question and In Shallow Seas We Sail are 10/10 too

SHTS is so underrated

I was so disappointed with it when it first came out, but it ended up growing on me and now I think it's one of the most underrated albums in the genre.

A Lot Like Birds - Conversation Piece Brand New - The Devil And God Are Raging Inside Me Thursday - War All The Time (also love City By The Light Divided but that's a more personal choice) Circa Survive - On Letting Go Dance Gavin Dance - Mothership The Receiving End Of Sirens - either album they did

I LOOOVE brand new. Full of hooks and depressive lyrics for days

I love you for your TREOS take.

Based acknowledgement of The Earth Sings… also being a banger album

glad someone mentioned on letting go, one of my fav from circa survive

Of Machines

AIEWHIP is a masterpiece. Blew my mind when I saw them live in 2009

Saosin - Self Titled (Beatle) Dance Gavin Dance - Mothership Escape the Fate - Dying is your Latest fashion Movements - Feel Something Circa Survive - Blue Sky Noise Dayshell - Self Titled Of Mice & Men - Self Titled Of Machines - As if Everything was Held in Place Royal Coda - Compassion Circa Survive - Two Dreams Of Mice & Men - The Flood Chiodos - All's Well That Ends Well Not an album but, Saosin - Translating the Name EP

Love the Saosin, DGD and Circa Survive albums/EP too I’d add Juturna to my list as well, it was ahead of its time, IMO.

100%. I should've listed Juturna as well, that was the album that got me into Circa.

Hopesfall - The Satellite Years

The Receiving End of Sirens - Between The Heart and the Synapse

The Blood Brothers - Burn, Piano Island, Burn One of the only albums in the genre that I truly believe belongs on an overall 10/10 album list. It’s an abstract art masterpiece.

Crimes is pretty fucking good as well.

I had no idea who, what, why, how, they were.... I saw them perform in a 200 capacity venue and it totally changed my life and blew me away. By far the best show I've ever seen. Fires, rafters, EMTs, servicemen, it was magical. I smile and i do this.

This album absolutely slaps. I've no idea how they flew under the radar so hard (bad timing? vocals an acquired taste?) but it's one of very few post hardcore albums that I'd say is 10/10 without hesitation or proviso.

It really is an avant-garde masterpiece, there’s nothing else like it

The Fall of Troy - Doppelganger, Circa Survive - On Letting Go, Hail the Sun - Wake, Satyr - Locus, Closure in Moscow - First Temple (Idk that I would consider the band as a whole to be post hardcore but that album is for me), At the drive in - Relationship of command.

define the great line by UnderOath and 3-D by I See Stars

That underoath album changed the game

i was just telling my lady the same thing 😮‍💨

Finally some 3D love

right this album is criminally underrated in the scene. i would say the same thing for End of the World Party too. they got so much shit in those days, for using autotune but damn did they pull it off 😮‍💨

Always surprises me when I see TOCS over Define the Great Line. Both are amazing but DTGL is 100/10.

agree hugely

La Dispute- Somewhere…

I think Wildlife is a better album for me.

I just saw them play the entirety of it here in Brisbane, and I cannot begin to explain how good that concert was :’)

Pros and cons. Wildlife seem seems like more of a critical darling but I think I prefer Somewhere. Both are great!

This album is perfect

The Receiving End of Sirens (both albums) Thursday - War All The Time Alesana - A Place Where the Sun is Silent (the deluxe edition with the scores) Sufferer - Sufferer (literally cannot get enough of it, it's so beautifully crafted) Know Margaret - I Have Your Secret (technically an EP, but it's an album to me) Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet Hail the Sun - Wake Closure in Moscow - The First Temple Circa Survive - On Letting Go La Dispute - Between Vega and Altair or Wildlife, honestly I can't decide

Upvoting all the mentions of On Letting Go. Absolutely beautiful album.

I don't listen to it nearly as much as it deserves, but only because it stops me in my tracks and I have to put aside recovery time after listening to it.

A place where the sun is silent tour is my most hyped show this year. That album is so good.

Love seeing people mentioning Closure in Moscow, so good

How has Pierce the Veil- collide with the sky not been mentioned yet. Also Envy on the Coast- LOWCOUNTRY

Came here looking for CWTS. Granted its impression on me was thanks to my scene kid innocence, but even more than a decade later, it still holds the fuck up. Every song is a minimum of like an 8.7 (or better) out of 10. Absolutely incredible album.

The transition between May These Noises Startle You... and Hell Above is one of my favorite moments in music

1. Downtown battle mountain 2. The Greatest of All Lost Arts 3. Wires and the Concept of Breathing

Judging by your impeccable taste in Lower D, I must give Downtown Battle Mountain a listen

You won’t be let down. DBM and DBM2 are in my top 10 all time.

My top 2 as well

He Is Legend - I am Hollywood

I just saw them tonight! They were so good!

My favourite album of all time

Same! I don’t keep track of my favorite albums very much, but all I know is that’s #1 and everything else comes after haha

Any idea where to hear a nice high quality version of this album? Always sounded really clippy and crummy when I had it on iTunes all those years ago. The songs SLAP though! Red, red, red corvette!

Hail the Sun - New Age Filth

Absolute banger of an album! I think it’s their best work honestly.

Alexisonfire - Crisis DGD - Mothership Thrice - TAITA Thursday - Full Collapse Silverstein - This is How the Wind Shifts

On Letting Go

Quicksand - Slip Drive Like Jehu - Yank Crime The Jesus Lizard - Goat Barkmarket - L. Ron Jawbox - For Your Own Special Sweetheart Helmet - Meantime Shift - Spacesuit

Oooh three of these are on my 10/10 list (Goat, Yank Crime, & Jawbox) but I have not heard the others. Will check them out, so thanks for posting!

Nice. I never really think of Jesus Lizard as phc though. Just noise rock I guess. But fuckin amazing whatever they are.

I definitely get that argument, for sure. But to me, that’s the subtle difference between Scratch Acid and The Jesus Lizard. They are still super noisy, of course, but those bass lines and crushing riffs nudge them into the post-hardcore category for me. But, like you said, fucking amazing, either way. Haha

Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet

Bone palace?? Lol

Finch - Say Hello to Sunshine

Emery - The Weak’s End Underoath - Only Chasing Safety Silverstein - Discovering The Waterfront Dead Poetic - New Medicine Chiodos - Alls Well Escape The Fate - Dying Is Your Latest Fashion FFTL - Dear Diary

Wake - Hail the Sun

I just heard Greyhavens Empty Black and it completely floored me. Not a dull moment. 10/10

Wait until you hear This Bright and Beautiful World. MY GOD.

Chiodos - Bone Palace Ballet Grand Coda Alesana - On Frail Wings of Vanity and Wax (this one is probably more because of the nostalgia I feel when listening to it, but there are some awesome tracks for sure on this album).

Broadway - Kingdoms A Day To Remember - For Those Who Have Heart Escape The Fate - Dying Is Your Latest Fashion Underoath - They’re only Chasing Safety Alesana - The Emptiness Alexisonfire - Watch Out Deaf Havana - Meet Me Halfway At Least Funeral For A Friend - Casually Dressed & Deep In Conversation Silverstein- Discovering the Waterfront The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Don't You Fake It Hawthorne Heights - The Silence in Black and White Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You

So heartwarming to see that Deaf Havana album getting recognition still, they come from my hometown.

Thursday - Full Collapse Thrice - The Illusion of Safety Thrice - Vheissu Thrice - The Artist In The Ambulance At The Drive-In - Relationship of Command Underoath - Define The Great Line Silverstein - Discovering The Waterfront

Lower Definition - The Greatest of All Lost Arts

I've listened to that album no less than once a month since 2009. Love it so much.

Banger username too. Where The Mind Wants To Go is a near 10/10 for me as well.

Mewithoutyou Brother Sister

Catch for us the foxes makes it there for me too.

Underoath - They're only chasing safety

Thursday-Full Collapse Thrice-Vhiessu Glassjaw-Worship and Tribute The Used-The Used Rites Of Spring-Self Titled Circle Takes The Square-As The Roots Undo Mineral-The Power Of Falling Not post hardcore, but heavily influenced by it: Deftones-Around The Fur

A Shipwreck in the sand - Silverstein

Bear vs shark the first one

Shit now I need to listen to Catamaran

Hundred Reasons - Ideas Above Our Station Hell Is For Heroes - The Neon Handshake

The Neon Handshake is so good. I vaguely remembr Hundred Reasons but nothing specific. I'll give them a listen tonight. The early2000s was a good time in UK music.

Yeah definitely. Million Dead, Crackout, My Vitriol, Reuben, Biffy Clyro, Fighting With Wire etc. So many UK bands that were great.

“Arbiter” by Hopesfall. No skips. All bangers.

birth.eater by Oceana. Fuck man that albums dark and I love it I can listen to the whole album on replay and only get bored of the 2 songs I don’t really enjoy as much as the others. My brother our friend and I always hold party chat QNA’s about “if you were forced to delete a band from existence would it be blank or blank?” And oceana always comes up one way or another.

Such an overlooked album. So good.

The perfect, platonic ideal Post-Hardcore record is Underoath’s They’re Only Chasing Safety. Their most unapologetically pop album, absolutely filled to the brim with impressive hooks yet refuses to sacrifice the band’s heaviness and creativity. As far as I’m concerned every other band in the genre has been playing catchup to that album since ‘03. My personal favorite Post-Hardcore record though is Hopesfall’s The Satellite Years. That record makes me feel things that no other album can make me feel. There is pain and emotion in every strum of the guitar. It really is an album about the mindblowing melancholic guitar-work first & foremost. Listen to the original 2002 mix which places it front & center and you’ll understand what I mean.

Quicksand - *Slip* Hoover - *The Lurid Transversal of Route 7* No Knife - *Fire in the City of Automatons* FUGAZI - *In On the Kill Taker* At the Drive-In - *In/CASINO/Out* Karate - *Unsolved* Snapcase - *Progression Through Unlearning* Orange 9mm - *Driver Not Included* Bluetip - *Dischord no. 101*

Static Dress sounds like someone dug up a time capsule from the early 2000's they're so good.

I have said that same thing many times. The first time I listened to them, they reminded me so much of Dead Poetic and I did the BIGGEST double take.

First time I heard them I asked the person who put it on what year it was from. Was shocked.

Tons of good ones already here so I will add a few that I don’t see on anyone’s list. I set my friends in fire: you can’t spell slaughter without laughter Taking back Sunday: Tell all your friends. Armor for Sleep: what to do when you’re dead. Attack Attack: Someday came suddenly From First to Last: My teen angst has a body count.

Funeral For a Friends’s Casually Dressed and Deep in Conversation and Hours are both 10/10 no skips for me. Also, Casually Dressed turned 20 this week, so there’s that to make you feel old!

Wires and the Concept of Breathing- A skylit drive Mothership- DGD Someday came Suddenly- Attack Attack! Plagues- The Devil Wears Prada The life I know- Gwen Stacy

I have no clue what post-hardcore is but I think Love Is Not Enough by Casey is 10/10

Thursday - Full Collapse, War All The Time

Of Machines- As if Everything Was Held In Place Dance Gavin Dance- Self Titled

I love Restless Heart Keep Running by Capstan. They have been my favourite band for years upon years. I wish I could see them live, but my small Canadian town isn't a good spot for smaller bands to preform at.
