Description:
I honestly don't give a shit if you think these guys are corny, this is one of the greatest albums I have ever heard.  Listening to Downtown Battle Mountain isn't even a guilty pleasure for me, but if I happen to stumble onto some of their later work then I have no excuse for my poor taste in music and I might apologize.  This album has the greatest blend of Post-Hardcore, Screamo, and Emo all in one.  You get the noodley guitar riffs with a sort of Math Rock vibe to it in spots, then it transitions into the chilling undertones of the bass accompanied by the eerie vocals performed by Jonny Craig.  So I posted this up because it's constantly in rotation for me, and maybe some of you guys will dig it too if you somehow haven't listened to it in it's entirety.
