The Cauldron

After 2007's I'm Only A Man hit stores, Emery's MySpace was flooded with comments, everything from love to words that can only be described as something between hate and extreme abhorrence (with a few expletives thrown in).

Most true fans of Emery hated the album, saw it as something to be cast aside and forgotten about until Emery redeemed themselves with a return to the better days of songs like Walls and Studying Politics.

Well, fans, the time is here. With the release of their EP, While Broken Hearts Prevail, Emery has regained their standing with fans, while managing to keep most of the followers they gained with the pop-laden I'm Only A Man.

The album features both the soft and heavy sides of Emery, with songs like The Smile, The Face following in the footsteps of their debut album, The Weak's End and songs like The Edge of the World fulfilling the needs of those who needed another song like Miss Behavin'.

The album is the best Emery ever had to offer, something that can only be described as an example of every good quality the band has. The music features the chilling vocal harmonies of Devin Shelton and Toby Morell, the combination of dark and light music, the heavier and lighter sounds, the rough screams of Josh Head, and the usual heavy-laden and somber lyrics.

This album is the quintessence of Emery, a necessary part of any Emery fan's collection, and THE album that all Emery fans will recommend to their friends in the future.
