  Albums that evoke certain feelings of nostalgia

  J. Patrick Gray

  When I was 19 or 20, I was initiated into the hardcore punk scene through living in the college dorm. Here I was a mostly strait-laced contrarian skeptically listening to these yells and growls and noises while asking myself how could this be considered "legitimate" music? I'm thankful to have stepped outside my shell, if only for a moment, to see live the likes of Between the Buried and Me, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and Horse the Band, especially in their respective infancies. However, I always connected the most with Every Time I Die because of their lyricism and Shakespearean allusions. Though I never braved the pit, I would be remiss if I didn't say that this music reminds me of my young adulthood, its kinetic energy, passion, and despair.

  Highlighted track: "Off Broadway"
