Brown is definetly their best CD. I know what you guys are saying about selling out but I do think that they are reaching more and more folks out there. I just wish they still made music like Brown (and even some of the stuff from TFEOS). They should've came out with the hardcore tracks for singles instead of the ballad/party time stuff.
definetly check out http://www.tastyfresh.com they're an online 'zine/community that's run by "Christ centered DJ's". you'll find links, suggestions and more in the forum sections..
Poor old lu is my favorite band but I don't know if they're really emo, maybe you're looking for something more like dashboard confessionals or pedro the lion.
