The so-called "emo revival" of the 2010s launched countless bands, all forever tied to a moment in time, but few left the impact of Connecticut collective The World Is a Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid to Die, who accrued a passionate and growing fanbase with their post-rock inflected emo opus Whenever, If Ever. But the band are so much more than just one moment in time; in our newest episode of The Full Discography Breakdown, Ryley and Jake, with special guest Zach, chart every single major release from the band's thirteen-year tenure, tracking and recounting the growth of the emo revival, its relationship to music culture in an evolving internet era, and the philosophy of the collective as this band saw it - and still sees it - across the years.

Let us know what this band means to you, how you feel about our interpretations and readings of their music and message, and which records are closest to your heart, in the comments.
