Emery Band • Page 25

4 tracks, its going to be 3 4 song EPs that eventually make an album.

 

Can we do some album ranking?

I'm curious where everyone stands on the LPs

 

Shallow Seas
YWNA
The Question
Eve
I’m Only A Man
The Weak’s End
WDWWW

 

HOT TAKES ARE INCOMING:

Shallow Seas
Eve
I’m Only A Man
The Question
YWNA
WDWWW
The Weak’s End

 

Eve
The Question
In Shallow Seas We Sail
You Were Never Alone
I'm Only a Man
We Do What We Want
The Weak's End

 

Wtf at all the Weak's End low rankings

 

Can only speak for myself here but it's just pretty rough in some songs in terms of Production/sounding dated/half baked songwriting. It's not a bad record and for it being their first record from 2004? Not bad at all - but they have written MUCH better records since then.

 

FUCK OK

The Question
Shallow Seas
YWNA
Eve
The Weaks End
I am only a man
We do what we want

5 that i absolutely love, hoping for a 6th next year.

 

This is too tough I don't think I can do an album ranking

 

Surprise, shallow Seas is the best :)

Shallow Seas
The question
YWNA
WDWWW
I'm only a man
Eve
Walls I mean the weaks end

 

I lol’d

 

YWNA - diverse yet cohesive, easily their most mature songwriting imo.
The weak’s end - love how dark and moody this album sounds
Shallow Seas - this came out when I got away from the band a bit but on revisits it’s splendid
The Question - this rests a lot on nostalgia but man these are fun songs
Eve - good songwriting but lacks the “I need to listen to that again” factor of the others
WDWWW - honestly I don’t even remember this record very well but IOAM makes me mad
IOAM - some solid songs here and when I revisit it it’s not so bad but it just feels like a mess

Honestly 2 thru 5 are all interchangeable, they’re all so different it’s heavily mood-dependent and ranking doesn’t really do it justice. YWNA blew me away tho I don’t think they’ll top it but man am I excited for each attempt.

 

YWNA is way underrated

 

i think its one of the best scene releases of the past 5 years. wish post-hardcore still had staying power with more people because i think it could've been a classic.

 

Post-hardcore still has plenty of staying power with me

 

Can't rank them due to nostalgia factors in play but this is where I settle on things:

My favourites / their best albums:
The Weak's End, The Question, In Shallow Seas We Sail, Eve

Good albums:
I'm Only A Man, You Were Never Alone

Average / barely revisited:
We Do What We Want

In Shallow Seas We Sail is probably still my favourite but I love Eve too. If we had to pick a top I would go with them.

 

Now this is a ranking i can stand behind pretty close to me if i were to do one

 

We do what we want isn’t bad, it’s just different.

 

Def their weakest imo

 

It showed how essential Devin is to the band

 

Shallow Seas
The Question
Eve

YWNA
The Weak’s End

I’m Only A Man
WDWWW

 

Weirds me out to see YWNA next to IOAM in a ranking haha

Also hot take incoming but ive realized across the past few records that Devin really doesn’t make or break this band for me. I also just like tobys voice more, though I used to find em indecipherable.

 

Devins the better singer but Toby has the more unique voice

 

The two combined are what makes Emery Emery for me. They both have great voices, but together they are sublime (and that is where WDWWW lacks).

 

Yea it’s not nearly as good as the others but it’s just a fun pop punk/hardcore album. The curse of perfect days is top tier too!
