Emery - I Am Only a Man

By admin | October 3, 2007

This new release that dropped yesterday is a lighter side of Emery that I haven’t heard before.  Their last 2 CDs that consisted of beautifully melodic voices mixed with screaming harmonies and accompanied with a good, alternative style of rock-n-roll.  The new CD, while it remembers much of the old style, is quieter and softer and on music side, and there simply isn’t as much screaming.  That isn’t really a good or a bad thing, it is simply an observation.  Emery’s previous style of mixing the melodies and loud screaming was what attracted me to them, much like the popular sound of Anberlin.

I am pleased with the growth of this new sound that Emery has and happy to see them expand.  The first 2 songs grab you with the traditional Emery sound, then a whole new sound takes over for the next 2 songs and the switchback continues throughout the entire CD.

Also, right now Amazon has the CD selling for at $1 cheaper than iTunes.  Check out this link to download the full CD in MP3 format.

Lyrically, Emery is just the same as always.  Strong, yet quiet, Christian Lyrics.
