Emery is back with a vengeance!

Alright, I must admit that I was not very excited about this cd, because like many Emery fans I thought it would sound like their last album "I'm only a man" which was a little dissapointing in my opinion since it did not capture the energy and the "essence" of the first two Emery cd's. Well I was wrong, I bought it the day it came out and it has been playing on my iPod continuosly ever since. Emery did go back to what catapulted them into the national "Emo" scene. The lyrics are strong and the music is hard, it kind of took me back to their awesome and in my humble opinion their best album "The weak's end". Emery took elements from every one of their previous records and threw it in a blender to come up with the distinctive and familiar sound that made them one of the best rock bands in Christian music today. Every song tells a story of heartbreaks, mixed emotions and ultimately redemption. It is hard to pick just one song that stands out since most of the songs in this record are solid and very well crafted. Opposed to what many think about this cd, I would say that this is one of their best records yet, second just to their first album.
two thumbs up & highly recommended! View All Music And Book Reviews By IwillsayYes | View IwillsayYes's Profile
