Default Re: Recommend me post-hardcore and emo albums

I have a ginormous list, but I'll separate my list into categories because post-hardcore and emo are huge genres that usually take influence from other subgenres as well. I don't like all of these albums, but I think this is a comprehensive enough list to know what you're going into. In no particular order.

For what it's worth, I'm most knowledgeable about American emoviolence and Japanese post-hardcore, so I'm sure I'm going to miss a few albums. "Self-Titled" basically means that the album name is the same as the band name.

post-hardcore/post-rock
Envy - A Dead Sinking Story
Totorro - All Glory to John Baltor
Heaven in Her Arms - 白暈
City of Caterpillar - Self-Titled

post-hardcore/math rock
ling tosite sigure - #4
The Fall of Troy - Self-Titled
Hail the Sun - Wake
Slint - Spiderland

post-hardcore/metalcore/pop punk
Saosin - Translating the Name
Underoath - Lost in the Sound of Separation
Thrice - The Illusion of Safety
Alexisonfire - Crisis
9mm Parabellum Bullet - Termination

My Chemical Romance's first album (I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love) is also a good shoutout for post-hardcore that's more pop-punk oriented as well.

post-hardcore/emoviolence
Orchid - Dance Tonight! Revolution Tomorrow
Youth Novel - Youth Novel
Portraits of Past - 01010101
Love Lost but Not Forgotten - Self-Titled
Lord Snow - Solitude

Some emo is quite different from post-hardcore, so I'm not sure if you're looking for emo that's closer to screamo/post-hardcore specifically or emo in general, but here are some recs regardless.

midwest emo/math rock
Jyocho - 祈りでは届かない距離
American Football - LP1
Empire! Empire! (I Was a Lonely Estate) - What It Takes to Move Forward
Cap'n Jazz - Burritos, Inspiration Point, Fork Balloon Sports
toe - The Book About My Idle Plot on a Vague Anxiety

Jyocho and toe are arguably weird picks because I've seen them classified more as math rock than midwest emo, but I think both bands take massive influence from midwest emo with their twinkly guitar lines and loud/soft dynamics. You can argue otherwise.

misc emo
Parannoul/Asian Glow/sonhos tomam conta - Downfall of the Neon Youth
Jimmy Eat World - Clarity
Brand New - The Devil and God Are Raging Inside Me
Parannoul - To See the Next Part of the Dream

Hope you find something that you'd like out of this list.
