10 Best Post-Hardcore Albums Of The 21st Century

One of the fastest-growing and sonically-intense genres out there - but who rules the roost?

YoutubeYoutubeRock music, and which bands fit into which of its many sub-genres, has long been debated by music fans. Bands such as Hollywood Undead, I See Stars, Breathe Carolina, and Bring me the Horizon have often struggled to categorise themselves under one specific classification, and A Day to Remember for example, have distanced themselves from the post-hardcore genre despite numerous claims that their supposed mix of metalcore and pop punk produces a sound which is very much like post-hardcore. So, to try and narrow down what could be any number of records to a €˜Top 10 Post Hardcore Albums of the 21st Century€™ is far from a straightforward task, nevertheless each entry into the list is uniquely brilliant in its own right. Each album has achieved relative success amongst a genre that doesn€™t gain as much mainstream recognition as the likes of pop music, R&B and even other rock genres, which is something that's lead to the likes of Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco changing the style of their music in order to gain more acknowledgement. But this is a list for the bands that have produced an album sticking to what they know and love, much to the gratitude of their loyal fans.
