drawcody Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Looks like Emery is finally pressing this funky album! Preorders start July 15th! It's still one of my favorite albums and I'm glad they're finally putting it on wax! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dapeebs Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Album has some jams, but definitely their weakest. All I want is In Shallow Seas We Sail to be pressed. No This Is Patrick and ejc625 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I think back on it, i'm really surprised I liked this album so much. It was such a departure from their previous music. Still holds a special place in my heart. Especially From Crib To Coffin!

copelandkid Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 i like a few songs off this one. Party Song is vibes. really respect them making it, even if it never quite worked for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 Re-recorded eh...an interesting decision to press to vinyl, given the mixed like/dislike for this particular album. Could be good if the new recording is...good...or a new recording could backfire if it loses the "soul" of what made people like the album to begin with. Hmm.

Either they must have been unhappy with the pressings of the their previous two albums from Tooth & Nail, understandably, or the label had no interest in pressing what is widely considered their worst album, which also makes sense. 8 hours ago, copelandkid said: i like a few songs off this one.

My least listened to album of theirs by far, but You Think You're Nickel Slick (But I Got Your Penny Change) is a top 10 Emery track.

RadDonut Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 This album aged well for me. Didn't really enjoy it much when it first came out. It had a few decent songs but nothing that really pulled me in. Through the years though I've found myself coming back to it a lot. Espcecially here lately. I'll give props to Emery for doing something different at the time though. After the huge success that was The Question I think fans were looking forward to something that built upon that album and that is def not what Emery did. They kind of went the opposite way. It's always a toss up for bands following a record like that. They succeeded where alot of bands fail in that "sophomore slump" and made an album that was incredible. The Question is still one of my favorite albums but I'm Only A Man was a pretty big flop at the time and the band themselves will even tell you that. The stories behind the making of the album are pretty hilarious. Especially from Toby's point of view. Apparently they missed out on a huge contract too. The musical aspect of this album is awesome. They were doing some really interesting stuff. It's also a bit "theatrical" to me and that's probably why I didn't enjoy it as much back then. Very story driven and dramatic in a way. I'll 100% pick up a copy of this. Only thing I'm worried about is the re-recording aspect. Hopefully they keep that same energy and it stays at the same level of production. It could potentially change the album a bit. copelandkid and drawcody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I asked a couple friends who are big Emery fans about their thoughts on a re-recorded version of this album and they both said they loved the album but the guitar tones on the original version were terrible, and we're looking forward to hearing an updated version with better tones. drawcody 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcafilm Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Very intrigued by this. Doubt I'll pick it up as I too belong to the this album is kinda wack crowd, but I am extremely curious about the re-record. I think there are some really great nuggets happening on this record, but they're dropped between some just really unappealing stuff. I doubt they'll be too revisionist, but this could possibly end up making it a more consistent album. If nothing else, I've always hated how the vocals were mixed, so maybe it'll fix that. copelandkid, mmhmm and drawcody 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadDonut Posted July 28, 2020 Share Posted July 28, 2020 I am pleasantly surprised by the rerecordings they've released so far. They just put up After the Devil Beats His Wife and it is waaaay better than the original. All of these are so far. I'm very excited now. The show they are doing on Twitch on Sunday nights is a lot of fun too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
