10. Turtles All the Way Down (New Junk Aesthetic, 2009)
“I think it’s about the pseudo-intellectuals we are plagued with in social situations. People who read and quote Nietzsche not because they like it but because they like that other people will think it’s impressive. I think the final line is a reference to the newer hipster mentality of meta-awareness, where people know that they do this sort of stuff and think they’re justified in it because they know. In the end they’re still spending so much time wondering how they should live they’ve forgotten to live.”
9. Old Light (From Parts Unknown, 2014)
“This album is amazing, I’m not huge fan of this song. I didn’t really like ex lives that much so I’m so pumped for this album. It reminds me of old every time I die mixed in with some new.”
8. INRIhab (The Big Dirty, 2007)
“Usually, the lyrics Keith writes are very figurative and cryptic, but this one seems to be very straightforward. To me, this song is about Keith adapting to his new life as a husband, having to let go of his hedonistic life style from before. There is a lot to be translated, but that’s the fun part.”

7. It Remembers (Forza Horizon 3, 2016)
“I love how Brendon Urie’s voice sounds in heavier music like this. It mixes so well and gives it a more powerful feeling with these amazing riffs and great drums. Also when him and Keith harmonize and sing together it is kickass. What a amazing song!!!”
6. Wanderlust (New Junk Aesthetic, 2009)
“I’m pretty sure this song’s about cheating on someone. “morals are simply a matter of time” saying that you may want to stay true but sooner or later you’ll break “and where you lay your head is a question of pride” as in if you decide to cheat is a matter of how proud of yourself you are and how much self control you have “and if my hands find themselves another body you can’t blame them for tryin to keep warm” you may want to stay true but you don’t have the will power to do it.”
5. El Dorado (From Parts Unknown (Deluxe Edition), 2014)
“This is mostly hard and fast stuff from a band that I’ve been enjoying for years. If I’m in the mood for hard and fast , this is one band I always consider. This album is one of their best.I say that because the vocals are awesome and the lyrics are great and the playing is ferocious.”

4. Rendez-Voodoo (The Big Dirty, 2007)
“The Big Dirty” sounds like a natural progression from where Every Time I Die left off with the last record. A lot more southern influence is creeping into their sound (and it’s funny that as soon as these guys ditch the sound the majority of the scene is copying, a whole new crop of bands begin to rip off the new style they’re developing) but there is still a healthy dosage of the hardcore and metal the band is known for.”
3. C++ (Love Will Get You Killed) (Low Teens, 2016)
“Very powerful hardcore music with tons of great grooves, concrete-slab heaviness, passionate and awesome screamed vocals. The music sounds clear and punchy through all the different moods they conjure.”
2. Two Summers (Low Teens, 2016)
“This is ETID at their very best. While not presenting any radical departures from their core sound, this album is ETID at their heaviest, both emotionally and musically.”
1. Map Change (Low Teens, 2016)
“Album closer Map Change is honestly one of my 10 favourite songs of all time. It’s a dissonant, chaotic, manic and yet haunting and beautiful tribute to the band’s hometown of Buffalo, New York. It really shows everything great about ETID over the years in a single song and encapsulates everything this band is about to me.”
