The 20 Best Emo Records of 2001 - List discussion
The fine people at Brooklyn Vegan made a list. Normally, emo lists wouldn't be in Andrew's wheelhouse, but thanks to the number one slot being Full Collapse, we decided to discuss. We also admit that we haven't listened to everything on the list, because 2001 was a time when it was hard to listen to everything.
Also, we discuss Eros, the leaked record by Deftones before Chi's accident that left him in a coma. Chapters
