you hit the nail on the head, tsk8rkff. if only all emo sounded like this. bands like jawbreaker and rites of spring don't get the recognition they deserve. they opened the doors for bands like the get up kids and saves the day. if you listen to saves the day's earlier recordings (circa "can't slow down") they're a bit reminiscent of earlier emo, but now they've been watered down and deprecated. what a shame. but at least we've got rites of spring and the likes to fall back on.
