The Question. Yes, Emery's 2005 effort is surely questionable. While it is a step up from their 2003 realease, The Weak's End, now that Emery has put more power into their songs and improved their lyric-writing abilities greatly since then, the record remains questionable now that it's drowning along with the many other bands who entered this crowded genre of music just a bit too late. You can either place bands in the "total clichéd screaming here and there" part of the genre, or form the opinion the band has actually released a solid effort that carries what emo was meant to do. And that, as the name implies, is to carry emotion. Now, very few bands of this era can do what the pioneers of emo did: Fill the songs with emotions and to actually leave a gasped face on the listener (on my personal opinion, Alexisonfire manages to do this very well). The Question is almost there, but not quite there yet.

if you want screamo with talent here is your band...Lets hope the next cd can live up to this! Average cd, worse review score is for the cd I really just got intot his band ebcause of my friend. He made me listen to their song 'listening to freddy mercury'. I love it now. Really good stuff. i know i used to have this cd by the cover, THis band is alsome so you people that are Christains like me u'll love them there my favorite band right now i saw them 3 times now at the Chemlion there freakin alsome on stage. So check them out I LOVE this cd! It is one of the best cds i have ever listened to! My favorite songs are the weakest, In an win, win situation and In a Lose, lose situation. I dont know why punk news gave it such a bad review This band had a distinct sound and is NOT "questionable". The on thing i dont like though and do agree with is all the screaming. If they cut some of that out ( a lot of it) this cd would reach its full potential. Tooth and Nail surley continues to deliver. i freaking cant live wothout this band and anyone who is putting this band down doesnt know good music.. and i got to agree slamming someones religion is pretty ****ed up... learn to appreciate others peabrain emery is fucking awesome. Anyone that uses "Jesusxcore" as a negative connotation needs to have their head checked. There is nothing wrong with being a Christian and writing rock music. Every artist in the world has their certain set of beliefs when writing, so Christians should have just as much of a right. Slamming one's faith just sounds so ignorant to me. does anyone else hear thursday when they listen to emery? seriously, the vocals sound just like geoff. anyways, this band is ok. This band should have stayed broken up or whatever. Definitly a step up from their last release. This cd is really really good, and the band manages to deliver some really catchy stuff without sounding cheesy or boring. What can I say, awesome stuff. I don't have it at home with me, but I remember loving the opening track, the single and track 7, I think (with the sudden "Over The Rainbow"-esque breakdown with bells and shit). This album has about 3-4 really, really killer songs, the rest are meh-to-good. Tons better than their first album, however. I was kinda surprised that this was a pretty good CD considering that it's a "screamo" record. This album has about 3-4 really, really killer songs, the rest are meh-to-good. Tons better than their first album, however. That scream on the Bronx cd is great. An album that just continues to grow on me... That sentence seems poorly structured. Of course you can put more emotion into an album than you can in a song. Albums are longer and contain many songs. So even if the individual songs have less emotion, they add up collectively. meh Screaming wasn't really an emo cliche until recently. I hate this band's name. It makes me want to punch someone. That Bronx song does have a really good scream. Also, Refused's, "Can I scream!?" intro to New Noise is really awesome. That sentence seems poorly structured. Of course you can put more emotion into an album than you can in a song. Albums are longer and contain many songs. So even if the individual songs have less emotion, they add up collectively. "the get up kids put more emotion into 'four minute mile' than these clowns could put into a single song with all the screaming their little lungs could muster." One of the worst reviews I've ever read. I could write better than this in middle school. You down wit' G-O-D? I like screams. Is that bad? The keyboard player can't scream for shit. But the guitarist really has a great voice on him. As does the main vocalist, but not as intense as the said guitarist. i think "even the screams at some points in the song seem very well-placed" describes most of this genre well. Still think this band is painfully mediocre, though fairly entertaining live. |
