Some call these "emo", but all music is about emotion

The list author says:
	"Good melodies emerge from angular 'math-rock' guitar lines while slightly screamed vocals tell of girl trouble."

The list author says:
	"Elegant, powerful and angular; like At the Drive-In without the awkward bits."

The list author says:
	"More stylish and elegant than other records of this type, and a good singing (as opposed to screaming) voice."

The list author says:
	"J Robbins, indie super-producer, shows off his excellent singing voce while the band strike the perfect balance between abrasiveness and melody (think Fugazi-gone-pop)."

The list author says:
	"Slightly more complex than No. 3, and unlike anything else I've heard."

The list author says:
	"Gritty and very melodic pop-rock from Switzerland. If you like Weezer, Foo Fighters or Sugar you may like this. PS: This is free of screaming."

The list author says:
	"Heavy guitars with floppy, Stereolab-like edges, great tunes and the occasional nod to 90s grunge. No screaming!"

The list author says:
	"Angular and minimalistic (my father said it reminded him of Steve Reich) but also melodic and poppy by Fugazi's standards."

The list author says:
	"From those distant times before the silly 'e'-word came in. Paint-stripping guitars and some of the best melodies of the 1990s."

The list author says:
	"Calmer and more melodic than At the Drive-In, out of whose split Sparta emerged. Some screaming, but nowhere near as intense as Thrice, Thursday, etc."

The list author says:
	"It's so grandiose and spacey that some will call it prog, but it doesn't meander and it's hummable. Oh, and there's only about 10 seconds of screaming."

The list author says:
	"Very impassioned and intense but mostly very melodic too. Like Muse they throw in some classical bits to good effect."

The list author says:
	"Pop, metal and punk moulded into ultra-melodic tunes topped with geekish lyrics ('I got posters on the wall/my favorite rock crew Kiss'). Irresistible."

The list author says:
	"They've clearly heard of Fugazi down in Barcelona, but Aina infuse the DC sound with AC/DC  and make a better record than Hundred Reasons' first album."

The list author says:
	"A Fugazi influence and anthemic choruses. Several tracks would go down well in an alternative disco."

The list author says:
	"From the same recording sessions as No. 2, and just as good."

The list author says:
	"Classic, melodic, hardcore-funk-reggae hybrid from before the coining of the e-word, by a band revered by today's 'emo' artists."

The list author says:
	"Some 'screamo'  vocals but otherwise a rock (rather than 'emo') record. Reuben provide plenty of variety here and in so doing upstage their neighbours Hundred Reasons."
