My Vinyl/Wax/Frisbees

Forever Came Calling: Retro Future

I was kind of disappointed in this EP. It felt like the band was just getting better and this felt flat and then they seemed to just stop.

Forever Came Calling: What Matters Most

I think this is FCC’s best album. The lyrics and music are fantastic.

Forever Came Calling: Contender

This is great 2010’s pop punk. I miss this generation of pop punk. Some of the bands are still together but this era was their peak for me.

Foo Fighters: Greatest Hits

I was never the biggest Foo Fighters fan but I still enjoyed their singles. I decided recently I wanted a collection of their hits, so I picked this up.

Five Iron Frenzy: Until This Shakes Apart

I hadn’t listened to Five Iron Frenzy in over 20 years but I heard good things about this album and decided to check it out. Damn I couldn’t believe how well they sung about the same things I felt during that time period and still feel today.

Fireworks: Gospel

This is my favorite Fireworks album. I don’t think this band got the respect they deserved. If you like Transit, you should check out this album.

Finch: What It Is To Burn

This was the first album with screaming that I enjoyed. It was the gateway to hardcore, post hardcore, screamo, and easy core. This was absolutely a seminal album in my life.

Farewell Continental: ¡Hey, Hey Pioneers!

This was a side project of Justin Courtney Pierre of Motion City Soundtrack. It’s a fun band that I really wish had dropped some more music.

Fall Out Boy: Infinity On High

This was the last great F.O.B. album in my opinion. It’s not top tier like their previous two releases, but it’s still damn good. I’ve listened to countless pop punk albums over the years. It’s my favorite genre and there are so bands that wish their best album was this good.

Fall Out Boy: From Under The Cork Tree

This was the album that put the band on the mainstream map, but everyone in the scene was already waiting for it to drop. I still remember listening to this for probably the 100th time and thinking to myself: This might be the peak of pop punk. It may not get better than this… and that’s still an argument today.

Fall Out Boy: Take This To Your Grave

Fall Out Boy released two of the greatest pop punk albums of all time. This is one of them. I still remember the moment this album came out. I picked up the CD the first week it was released and I was fucking blown away. This was a game changer.

Eve 6: Grim Value

Eve 6’s first 4 albums were so good that I had high hopes for their post 2020 EP. Unfortunately, this was a miss. I really don’t care for the direction they went and sadly, that’s the risk you take when you blindly purchase vinyl when it’s first released. Sometimes you have to take a chance so that you don’t end up spending an arm and a leg on the same record down the road. Anyway, I’m still hoping ‘It’s All In Your Head’ gets pressed eventually.

Eve 6: Speak In Code

When Eve 6 got back together years after their breakthrough, I wasn’t sure what to expect. This was a great album that didn’t get the attention it deserved. It leaned a little more into the pop side of pop punk, but despite that, it’s damn good.

Eve 6: Horrorscope

This is such a catchy album. I remember my friends and I signing along to this album on countless car rides. This band was so good in their prime.

Eve 6: Eve 6

This came out when I was in high school. I remember hearing it all over the radio and it was so catchy. It takes me back to another time now. It’s insane to think they wrote this while they were still in high school.

Enter Shikari: The Mindsweep

I stumbled upon this band just after this album came out and they had such a unique sound. I went through their back catalog but this album was what stuck with me the most.

Eminem: Kamikaze

I really enjoyed Recovery, and The Marshall Mathers LP 2 had some good songs on it, but Revival just wasn’t good. Then Kamikaze came out and it felt like a return to the old days. Great rhyme and flow and just savage take downs. This was what I missed.
