Favorite Autumn Albums--Your Thoughts
With September comes the changing colors of leaves, the shortening of the days, and the slow cool toward winter. Autumn is here, meaning an end to the season known for upbeat pop-punk and the ushering in of archetypal somber and reflective albums. What are your favorite albums that remind you of the fall season? Why do these albums in particular do it for you?
|
American Football, Arcade Fire, and Explosions in the Sky. Need to fit these in autumn since winter is dominated by Brand New.
|
The Early November.
Get it? |
bedlight for blue eyes - the dawn
Anberlin - Blueprints for the Black Market |
terminal-how the lonely keep the lovely, or clarity from j.e.w. i love both of those records so much.
|
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
It's moody, it's morose, it's self-loathing...it's brilliant. The cello gives it an autumnal Halloweenish feel to it (see video for "The Recluse" as well) and I remember listening to it while driving through rural cornfields in Pennsylvania and seeing the fading colors surround me while the hills were alive with the cornucopia of color as the leaves changed. I just went overly descriptive, but I remember it vividly. |
early november, lydia, the honorary title, dangerous summer, brand new, and a few others i cant think of usually get a few more plays from me around this time
|
rocky votolato - makers
|
Copeland- BMT
|
Since when did what season we were in make a difference as to what is a great album or not?? I don't care what season it is, I'll bust out my pop-punk albums in January, bust out my Brand New albums in the summer I don't care!! Lol I know, I'm a rebel like that.
|
Dredg-El Cielo is a favorite. And Second Stage Turbine Blade

straylight run - straylight run
saves the day - stay what you are mew - frengers stevie wonder - songs in the key of life sufjan stevens - come on feel the illinoise the weakend - how everyone ruins everything and vice versa if you have never listened to them in the fall, or ever for that matter, i highly suggest it |

|
saves the day - stay what you are
new found glory - coming home afi - sing the sorrow death cab for cutie - the photo album |
Saves the Day-Stay What You Are
It was autumn when i first discovered this amazing, wonderful record. |
Cursive - The Ugly Organ
Not sure why, just listened to it nonstop last autumn. Minus the Bear - Planet Of Ice (carries on through winter) Just the atmosphere it creates. Lovedrug - Everything Starts Where It Ends First discovered this album in the fall, and it's really just stuck with me. It's just something about Shepard's voice and the music, it gives it a frail quality that I love. and, i expect Wolftron to be spinning full-time come this Autumn. |
City & Colour - Sometimes
Coldplay - X & Y Incubus - A Crow Left Of The Murder mewithoutYou - A to B: Life Northstar - Is This Thing Loaded? |
NIN - The Fragile
|
another one i love that gets me in the fall mood is spitalfields stop doing bad things. listen to gold dust vs. state of illinois, or tampa bum blues. i forget how much i love that record.
|
death cab for cutie- transatlanticism and now, narrow stairs.
jimmy eat world- futures stars- set yourself on fire brand new- TDAG voxtrot- self-titled plus, miscellaneous single songs that give off that vibe. |
Oh and i love Baseball by Say Anything around this time for some reason.
|

Days Away- Mapping an Invisible World
Manchester Orchestra- I'm Like a Virgin Losing a Child My Chemical Romance- Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge Saosin- Saosin AFI- All Hallows EP The Blood Brothers- Crimes Fear Before The March Of Flames- The Always Open Mouth From First To Last- Heroine |
Everything by Bloc Party, Copeland, and Something Corporate
|
also:
saves the day - stay what you are |
Definitely Copeland's Eat,Sleep,Repeat or John Mayer's Room For Squares.3EB's self titled as well,even though most consider that a summer album.These albums just give me a relaxed feeling,and like the title post says,give me some things to reflect on.

Hi, Saves the day - SWYA
Say Anything - ...Is a Real Boy! and I wanna say Art of Drowning (?) by AFI, perhaps.. Im probably going to bump Explosions in the Sky record "those who tell the truth..." and new Ratatat for long drives |
thursday- war all the time. random but it reminds me of fall when in i was in high school.
|
Brand New
Copeland Ben Kweller Cold War Kids Explosions in the Sky I don't really have too many fall albums. I have a ton of winter albums though. I can't wait for winter so I can blast The Weak's End. I tried it the other day and it was too soon. |
(try and listen to venetian snares Rossz Csillag Allat Szuletett and Mum "yesterday was dramatic" for Winter :-))

I'm joining the club by saying that SWYA.
Street to Nowhere is a good one. Actually, whatever I've heard from Dave Smallen post name change is great for fall too. I mean America and the friends only myspace songs. Futures- Jimmy Eat World. The Red Tree- Moneen uh, also agree with anyone who said Brand New... etc. etc. And certain Bright Eyes songs vibe well with autumn. |
 |
Brand New - The Devil and God.
Houston Calls - A Collection of Short Stories JEW - Futures Blink 182 - Self Titled Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP |
sherwood- sing, but keep going
Straylight Run- s/t I can make a mess like nobody's business As Tall As Lions Cary Brothers Sleeping at Last ... more of thinking records than the general summer albums. slower paced, but still packs a "different" punch. Not really sure what makes a fall album a "fall album"... but i can depict my seasonal favorites. |
ryan adams=jacksonville city nights
any thursday album. war all the time and full collapse especially |
Ryan Adams- Follow The Lights
Bright Eyes- I'm Wide Awake It's Morning The Strokes- Is This It... |
 |
    |
New Found Glory - Coming Home
Valencia - This Could Be A Possibility |
Well I always have TEN in rotation but especially in the Fall.
I guess the same goes for JEW. Some other ones would be Daphne Loves Derby's self-titled and Coheed and Cambria's The Second Stage Turbine Blade. Mainly because they hold memories of fall time in them, have that mood to them. I'll also take some Barenaked Ladies' Maroon. |
Tell All Your Friends. Soooooo good because of the longing for summer feeling it gives you.
|
AFI- Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes
Jimmy Eat World- Clarity Bad Astronaut- Houston, We Have a Drinking Problem Weezer- Pinkerton The Juliana Theory- Understand the Dream is Over Death Cab for Cutie-Something About Airplanes Nikola Sarcevic- Lock Sport Krock The Get Up Kids- Something to Write Home About By the way, this is my first post.... |
Sherwood - Sing, But Keep Going
The Early November - The Mother, The Mechanic & The Path Jimmy Eat World - Futures John Mayer - Continuum Owen - At Home With Owen The New Amsterdams - Worse For The Wear This Day & Age - Always Leave the Ground Waking Ashland - Composure |
