Emery defines screamo

"Emery's "The Weak's End" set the stage for this musical powerhouse of the genre. Although a bit more aggresive than their sophomore release (i.e. more screaming, darker chords, etc.), Emery's musical complexity and genious shine through with full flare. The syncopations, the progressions, the beats, the rythms... Emery just shouts undeniable originality. The beautiful mix of chaos and beauty that, vocally and musically, Emery presents is just perfect. In "the Weak's End" we are introduced to the powerful potential that Emery has.



Lyrically, Emery's thought-provoking, humorous and original... almost like their music. The band, however, excels at their interpretation. Literally, this is an album that you have to listen to believe.



Emery is one of the most original and creative bands of the genre. It's definately not "more of the same" but, rather, a different and perfect approach at an already monotone genre."

"I am NOT a fan of screaming music. I love emo, but i was shying very far away from screamo. A lot of my friends are into hardcore screaming stuff, but i just kinda grimaced and made fun of it. I was band-browsing, and came across Emery, and fell in love with what i heard. I was so excited to be able to go up to my friends and tell them that i had actually found a screaming band that i liked, only to find that 4 of them had bought the cd over the weekend. You can actually understand the words they're saying, i would never take the screaming out for anything, and its just awesome, beautiful, fun, awesome awesome awesome music! I saw them a few weeks ago and they are just as good live as on the cd. Definitely a must have!!!!!!!!!"

TRUE "EMO"

"Too many bands claim the title "emo" without really knowing what it means. Emery is not one of those bands. Emery DEFINES "emo". Before you buy this (and i strongly recommend you DO buy this) you need to beware that "the weak's end" is NOT your average mainstream music.



Screaming, inventive lyrics, passionate clean vocals, time changes... These are brilliant musicians. Dual vocals really make the cd amazing. But what is even more amazing is the similarity between the two vocalists voices. Forget "Hawthorn Hieghts", these guys can actually sing. Not the average nasally whine of most other punk/emo bands. Yes, the lyrics are somewhat depressing, but this is to be expected.



Give them a listen. It's not everybody's taste, but you cannot deny these guys talent. It is too bad that their most recent cd "the question" does not live up to this one."
