Disco de Emery: “The Weak's End”

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.

I accidentally stumbled across this band a few months before the whole "emo revolution" where everyone from grannies to hipsters is singing Helena, Ohio Is For Lovers or Bat Country. God..my ears can't take it anymore. Then for me to find emo, I mean good emo..well, I just couldn't believe it! Emery is a good band from all the American emo bands I've heard before. I absolutely adore the lead singer's unique voice. It's not whiny nor nasally, and it strangely soothes me. The actual music is splendid, it's just right. There isn't a chord they've strummed yet that I do not like. I must say that the band's only downfall is the screaming.

Unfortunately, the screamer/singer(scringer?) sounds as though he stuck his head in a garbage disposal. This completely ruined the experience for me, but I'm learning to accept the awful noise as I really like everything else about them. I suggest checking out 'Fractions', the best song on the album. God, why did they scream..

AS soon as this CD begins, you will be blown away, Emery is one of the best bands out there right now, and this CD proves it. This a CD you will not get sick of. Another great thing about the guys in this band s there faith in God, they love Christ which is what they share at their shows. "Weak's End" is a powerful album with awesome sreaming, singing, amazing guitar rifts, and produced very well.

Emery is outstanding, coming from tooth and nail were the popular bands of anberlin and underoath are, emery closes in on being almost as goos as them. Walls was there single from this debut and it is quite amazing, definetly the best song on this cd. The pony tail parades is another great song amd the other 8 are good as well. expect big things from these guys there definetly # 4 on the most popular from tandn

I started listening to Emery in may when they played a show and I was really impressed with the presence they kept on the stage as well as their talent which they truly posess. They have a really good balance between emo and screamo and a lot of the songs have awesome lyrics. Like I love the way they are so real with their songs like the song Fractions is awesome because it's all about how the guy messes up with his girlfriend, but instead of saying "oh it's okay", he admits his faults. Also, the song As Your Voice Fades is incredible with all the emotion put into it. I'd say the only drawback of this CD is the fact that some of the songs in the middle of CD lack some originality. They are still good, but not nearly as solid as the first few tracks and the ending tracks.

If you are at all into emo or screamo or whatever you call it I would deff recommend this CD.

Listen to Walls and The Ponytail Parades first because they are probably the best tracks on the CD.
