I'm bad at ranking things but if it made the list, I probably love it. Some have favorite tracks listed, most don't.

This album is simple and smooth, something that really grew on me over time. It's great to listen to when a special someone has you feeling some type of way.

A shouty shouty album, though fairly restrained as far as this band goes. The opening track is a unique telling of a storm/tornado approaching a family home, a dreadful feeling that I can imagine many midwesterners can relate to.

One of my absolute favorite bands in my late teens and early 20s. Grandiose sound, uplifting music. Emo and post rock collide.
