I may just have an embarrassing obsession with them. Cx
but, at the same time I don't really see them presently. I only like Pretty.Odd. and A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. For me, it's like they died. Which sounds depressing.
But, their use of instruments is amazing. I mean, cello, piano, trumpet, synthesizer, organ and whatever other stuff they use. Who does that? No one.
I remember the first year I heard them, 2005 or something. I instantly loved their lyrics and was deeply fascinated with the song titles. Also, I thought the auto-tune in their first album was beneficial, despite the fact it is covering up the lead singer's imperfect voice.
Sure, they have their labels as "emo" or whatever. It's not exactly the coolest band to like, but I can't help it.

I only really heard their two big hits Nine in the Afternoon and I Write Sins Not Tragedy and I enjoy those songs a lot and still listen to them. Normally I don't care for "emo" music except for a few bands but I find those two songs are more fun if anything and are easy to bob your head up and down to so I wouldn't outright consider them emo. Emo to me is a behaviour and not just a clothing style.
But if you do appreciate great instrumentals, lyrics and a fun beat then try out Sam Roberts, the Tea Party, Queen, The Trews, The Arctic Monkeys, Mumford and Sons and many more but my brain is currently fried.
I've seen Sam Roberts preform twice now. Amazing musician and a great voice! I grew up listening to the Tea Party, AC DC, Queen and such so I know that the classic rockers actually know how to play the instruments, sheet music included and not just sounds. They have a technical understanding of music that you don't see in many rookie artists today and I think that loss is sad. (not all rookie artists, there are many with talent and teachings).
