Emery Band • Page 27

If it pays the bills then I’m all for it (they absolutely deserve it) but I don’t rank this record as high as others do so this doesn’t excite me.

For me; my top 3 are Shallow Seas, The Question, and Rub Some Dirt On It.

 

I was just talking to a buddy of mine earlier this week about how strong their discography is. TWE is great and it's like 7th for me. Only album I don't care for is White Line Fever.

Outstanding:
In Shallow Seas We Sail
Eve
Rub Some Dirt On It
The Question

Great: (these are honestly interchangeable for me)
You Were Never Alone
I'm Only a Man
The Weak's End

Good:
We Do What We Want

Okay:
White Line Fever

Extremely solid and consistent band.

 

Okay okay I’ll rank too :)

The Question
In Shallow Seas We Sail
Rub Some Dirt On It
I Am Only A Man (a very close 4th tbh)
Eve
The Weak’s End
You Were Never Alone
We Do What We Want
White Line Fever

 

The Weak's End
I'm Only a Man
Eve

Word on the street is they’re going into the studio with Gillespie to write their next record after this tour… the one that they recorded last year got scrapped as an album project but the songs may come out as individual parts.

 

I really dropped off after in shallow seas. Loved the BC pod when Joey was around and still follow them a bit, but really fell off with the new music. Those first 4 albums are all so great and unique, but they lost me a bit with WDWWW and YWNA. I've tried with the newer albums, but I just can't get into them as much.

I've got the Weak's End, Question, and ISSWS studio versions all on vinyl and would love the studio version of IOAM too if it ever gets pressed, but I thought the re-recorded version was just missing something and the mix didn't sound very good. And maybe it's the production for the newer DIY albums that don't pull me in the same way, but I digress. Long Live Emery. Happy for them that they've been able to continue as a band for the past 20 years and are still going strong.

 

Check out Rub Some Dirt On it

It’s their best work in a while IMO

 

I don’t have a definitive ranking outside of YWNA being my favorite. It always surprised me that that record didn’t put ‘em back on the larger scene radar, especially since it coincided with their podcasts taking off. It just felt like such a transcendent magnum opus. It’s elegant, it’s brutal, it’s diverse. The perfect Emery record.

 

i agree, im cool too with album tours but if i don't care enough for the album i just won't go, save the tickets for the fans who really wanna hear that album play through live

 

Wouldn't agree that it's perfect but it's just behind In Shallow Seas and The Question for me so it's good to see someone giving it recognition.

My ranking would look like this:

1. In Shallow Seas We Sail
2. The Question
3. You Were Never Alone
4. We Do What We Want
5. The Weak's End
6. I'm Only a Man
7. Eve
8. Rub Some Dirt on It
9. White Line Fever

Is the band still re-releasing White Line Fever btw?

 

I wanna say my ranking would be:

1: In Shallow Seas We Sail
2: I'm Only a Man
3: The Question
4: We Do What We Want
5: You Were Never Alone
6: The Weaks End
7: White Line Fever
8: Rub Some Dirt On It
9: Eve

But I haven't really spent a lot of time with White Line Fever, Rub Some Dirt On It, or Eve, so this list would probably be a bit different if I had listened to those records more. I'll get back to them eventually.

 

Word is they’re not happy with how it came out and want to redo it similarly to how they did RSDOI

 

dropped last week

 

Matt & Dave rocking with the Almost

 

Their second guitarist is also there and seems to do a great job at backing vocals!

 

Need to relisten to their newer stuff. Rub didn't really stick with me, need to go back. Same with Eve and White Line

 

Rub Some Dirt On It is up there with their best for me. Great album.

 

Who is playing second guitar for them?

 

I don't know his name from memory but he's been in the band since Rub Some Dirt On It at least. Remember first noticing him in the album livestream a couple years back.

 

Chris Keene. Played guitar in Number One Gun and Saves the Day. Had/has a band he sings in called Surrogate.

 

Now there's an old T&N band name I haven't heard in a long time. Was not aware of the Surrogate/Saves the Day connection.

 

was listening to spotify on my tv last night and tihs photo came up..

two things

emery looks old

and who is the guy in the middle in camo, i don't recognize him

 

They do look very old these days haha. Except Dave.

 

oh ok, i was like hes not OG crew, didn't know they added another dude but yah i was thinkin they haven't aged well lol

 

They look like normal dudes at that age, I don’t think “haven’t aged well” is accurate. I’d save that for someone like Craig Owens.
