Less overtly pop than hi..."  [+]  Reply

"Emery are an underrated band and quite possibly the greatest emo-hardcore band of all time. The sparring guitar leads over vicious drop tuned guitars cranking out punchy power chords are fantastically hard while always remaining musically substantive, even if at times, dissonant. The double vocal..."  [+]  Reply

"Truth be told, I haven't heard a lot of albums released from the 2000s onwards but this has got to be one of the best I heard. So many beautiful, nostalgic and soothing songs..."  Reply

"I'm usually not one to complain about the sound quality of music but Tommy Johnson deserved so much better. From the first track you can tell that Johnson was a great musician but sadly most of his recordings weren't preserved so well so most are unlistenable. it's a shame.
