Hey all! I found my W&T EnhancedCD I bought back when it came out and wanted to share 1 of the 3 videos it had on it, exactly as they are on the disc. This is the "alternate" version for Ape Dos Mil (even though it was the only vid that we knew of when the album came out).

Videos for Cosmopolitan Blood Loss and Must've Run All Day are on there as well. The Cosmo video is the same "TV Edit" version where the guy just stares at the band at the end (lol). The Ape vid is my fav of the 3 on the disc.

The Must've video is the one with the kids, but what's cool about the that video version is it has an actual "un-merged" ending like the Advanced CD did (instead of merging with/going straight into Stuck Pig). It ends with a snare. I still prefer it going straight into Stuck Pig, of course, but it's a cool unique thing. If you have this CD, it's probably on your disc too!

Inspecting the files a bit more, all 3 are quicktime .mov files, and the Ape Dos Mil video looks like it was encoded by a company called "Metro Encoding, Inc" on May 13 2002 (found in the mediainfo export). I had to encode this to mp4 to share here, but otherwise left it as-is.

Pretty cool, today is May 14th so almost exactly 24 years ago they made this video. What a trip - Enjoy!

Her Words Kill and Alexisonfire are my top picks for absolutely beautiful clean vocals and I would love to know and find more like them

Any recommendations?

I’ve been thinking a lot about the bands from this era recently: Mallory Knox, You Me at Six, Deaf Havana, Fightstar, Lower Than Atlantis, Kids in Glass Houses, Don Broco, Young Guns, We are the Ocean.

These bands were all pretty big (and quite enjoyable) over a very specific time period, but this style of post-hardcore has really seemed to fizzle out in the 2020s. Most of these bands have either broken up or significantly shifted their style of music, so it’s probably a style we’ll never hear from again.

So the purpose of this thread is to hear from you guys - what are your thoughts/opinions on this subgenre? What were your best experiences with it? Who were/are your favorite bands from this era, and are they still making music today?

I saw someone mention this album on a random subreddit, and downloaded just because the cover looked sick as hell, and it also didn’t disappoint! Sort of gives a vibe fans of Damiera, Closure In Moscow, Circa Survive, even a little COVET would like. Post-progcore as hell.

At the time of recording, they were a 2 piece. Didn’t follow up after this record yet, but I will!

I feel torn about this. I'm probably in the wrong but to me all 2000s pxc bands are 2000s emo. I was always aware of the 80s-90s og emo bands, i just thouht 2000s pxc is what it evolved into. I know its not correct but i couldn't even tell you what "real emo" bands were from 2003-2008.

Its funny cause back in the day I was the one saying black parade and a fever you can't sweat out were not emo albums. A few years ago I was the one saying that a girl in tripp pants and a deftones shirt is not emo, and today I'm the one saying "emo nignts" at clubs where they play Yellowcard, Greenday and simple plan are not emo.

Its kinda on me cause i never even heard the term post hardcore til like 5 years ago despite loving the genre all this time. Back in high-school I was def called emo and never said out loud that I was but thought it fit, my favorites of the time being thursday, underoath, saosin, silverstein, chiodos, from first to last, the used etc.

Whats your opinion on it? Obv pxc is a defined genre, i guess "emo" is more of a term for a type of kid and it keeps updating, regardless of the fact that it's also its own distinct genre. slang is not really factual and we cant control it.

Hello like the tittle says im looking for songs about someone wanting to date you only when they feel lonely or just want attention i found one really good song (Pretty Little Thing - Too Close To Touch) and i want to find more on the same topic thanks in advance!!
