We Do What We Want

Emery do what they want. I'm glad they do because it results in very good music. In their sixth album, they once again tweak their style enough to create some of their heaviest and some of their softest songs to date. The whole CD hardly slows until well past the halfway mark and then closes with two heartfelt ballads. My worry for this album was that without their second lead vocalist (who recently announced his departure) and the harmonies we've come to love, it would fall short. Although the harmonies are missed, the contrast between screams and vocalist Toby Morrell's fantastic singing voice is more than enough to make the album as amazing as it is. On top of these changes, there also is a significantly darker vibe than on other albums with more faith based based lyrics than ever. There isn't a bad song on here, but some of my favorites are The Cheval Glass, Curse of Perfect Days, The Anchors, You Wanted It, Daddy's Little Peach, and my new favorite slower Emery song, I Never Got to See the West Coast. All in all, a fantastic CD worth every cent.
