Emery is back with a vengeance! | Posted June-23-2009
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!
Great record! | Posted February-05-2009
I have been an Amy fan since she released her "Heart in Motion" cd. Even though I currently listen to hard rock and metal, Amy still has a special place in my heart. This cd is fresh and her sweet voice mixes perfectly with the acoustic sound of this recording. Her vocals are flawless, making every song very enjoyable. The ethereal sound of the songs make you pay attention to the lyrics and take you on a journey to enjoy the story every song tells. Personal favorites include "Missing you", "like I love you" and "Turn this world around". All in all, a great recording from one of the most beloved Christian artists of our time.
Excellent farewell | Posted February-05-2009
Beloved's last record "Failure on" draws the listener into the excellent message delivered by the band through amazing writing skills and excellent hard core. The music is hard, solid and well written, the lyrics are deep and deliver a strong message. Beloved is one of those bands that have su much to offer but are often overlooked and underrated, too bad they decided to call it quits in 2005.
