Emarosa Band • Page 25

for example - sax!

 

I just did my first listen. I dig it.

 

Really wanna like this band cause I like Bradley’s voice a lot but man they bore me. Hoping this one changes that

 

yea I could see why some people might be a bit iffy on the album, I think it's solid though. Might not QUITE live up to the hype of Givin' Up but I enjoy it still. Outside of the first 3 singles, I think Help You Out and Wait, Stay are standout tracks.

I will also be on board the "131 is nigh perfect" train

 

giving up thru help you out is a goddamn run though

 

Heard Givin’ Up the other day and loved it - checked the album today and was pleasantly surprised. However, the guitar in xo now reminds me of San Marcos by Brockhampton and I can’t unhear it

 

was trying to place it, thank you

 

I keep thinking the gang chants are gonna start at some point lmao

 

I WANT MORE OUT OF LIFE THAAAN THIIIIIIIIIS

 

So Relativity is one of my all time favs.. This is a completely different sound, right? Are the last 2 worth checking out?

 

it is a completely different sound, and don't expect another Relativity, but yes. 131 is genuinely a near-classic, and I absolutely recommend it if you're into Anberlin, Copeland, Circa Survive or any bands in that scene. this new one has more of an M83 vibe going but it's fantastic pop nevertheless

 

oh my god Givin' Up is a banger

 

me today @ this album

 

This is a lot of fun. Nothing on here is as immediately compelling as the first single was, imo, but that could just be because of how surprising it was at the time. I enjoy it though and want them to keep exploring this sound further.

 

Really loved this on first listen. But I do agree that Givin' Up is still the standout track for me. Just a perfectly executed track and the perfect first introduction to this new sound

 

XO, So Bad, and the last two (kinda blended together for me) were my favs from the new.

 

I'm on my 3rd listen this morning and Wait, Stay has grown on me each time. Cautious might still be my favorite, I need more time with the other songs though.

 

And I can’t stop missing YOU...



...SO BAD

 

ALBUM REVIEW: Emarosa strike pop gold on "Peach Club"

I’d really appreciate if you guys checked out my review of this album! One of my favorites I’ve written.

 

Great job! You're so right; you'd think at this point we'd have grown up and grown on from shaming bands for making pop music, but even when bands like Paramore and Emarosa who occupied different music spaces over time can come out with some of their best work to date you'll still find people mad that a band has "sold out" or was better back when they weren't making pop music - which is just another way to say that a band is not doing what you want.

The post-hardcore subreddit was crying the other day about Emarosa's new sound; I mean I guess you don't have to like it, but when a band stays true to themselves and writes what they want and it's damn good who am I to judge.

(but also this album is fantastic and they're wrong)

 

The only single I listened to more than once was Givin' Up, so I'm really digging the other released singles in context. Initial listen left me a little disappointed with how it ended. Hell of It could've been a lot better with more variation in the chorus.

 

Can't really expect a subreddit full of Jonny fanboys to have an open mind going into a record made by his old band that is completely devoid of the sound they had when he was in the band.

 

It honestly makes me sick that he has any fans at this point but you're not wrong.

 

I may or may not have joked to a friend yesterday “Take a shot for every time he sings the words ‘hell of it’” haha... still like the song though

 

I wasn't sure about Get Back Up the first time I heard it, but man what a banger.
