Editorial Reviews

Emmure, the band who have already shocked audiences with their scowling, punishing lyrics and vocalist Frankie Palmeri's sinister smile, is back with the aurally arresting 2009 record, Felony. The band rips apart their enemies, tears through their anger, and reaches a new height of aggression, desperation and destruction on this, their third full-length album. Leading with the mindset that a Felony on your record can change your life, Emmure is out to make their mark on every listener, violently awakening them to the way the world is around them. Armed with their barrage of menacing breakdowns and punishing riffs, Felony is guaranteed to be the record that locks Emmure behind the bars of the spotlight for life, with no chance of parole.

1.0 out of 5 stars What just happened?, March 23, 2011

This review is from: Felony (MP3 Download)

Short and sweet this album sucks. Their last two albums were great and I could actually enjoy listening to them for prolonged periods of time. This, however, I can barely stand to listen to the tracks that I semi like more than once. I don't know what happened to these guys, their pseudo gangster look and feel is a disgrace to metal. Also, their is more spoken word parts in this album then their needs to be. Felony? How about garbage?

This review is from: Felony (Audio CD)

Seriously? This album is a joke. These guys put on the facade that they're all "big and tough", but yet all their songs are about how pissed off they are at some girl, or the world in general. And we're not talking about world changing rage, but emotional "I hate everyone" whining.

I can't even bring myself to listen to this album anymore, I'm glad I borrowed it off of someone. Terrible, do not buy this album.

I am a huge emmure fan. I try to make it to all their shows when they play local, I know all their lyrics.

I'm here to write this review specifically to Emmure Fans first then secondly to newcomers.

PRIOR EMMURE FANS:

My God. What in the name of hell happened? First off you'll notice the lyrics have changed significantly into "gangsta" lyrics to get my point across. A lot of them are about jail or killing people with guns and then going to jail.

There are a few tracks that stand out and I strongly suggest you grab them then walk away.

Sunday Bacon is a maybe. Youtube it then decide.

I thought you met telly and blah blah: This ones a keeper. Go ahead and buy it.

I<3EMC whatever: This ones also a keeper, go ahead and grab it.

Felony: this is a maybe. I guess. Youtube it.

You Sunk My whatever: This one sucks.

Track 6: Blows

First Impressions: Ehhh...youtube it.

track 8: Absolutely the worst track of this album. Also the worst lyrics.

Bars in Astoria: This ones pretty good but not great. Youtube it

track 10: this ones alright, youtube it.

Last 2 suck.

I mean, its just...the lyrics are an abortion. Its a jumble of madhouse thoughts minus 1 or 2 tracks.

Musically its...i mean its diffidently a change. I'm all for changes but you can clearly hear what the guy is saying and it detracts a great deal.

Honestly, nothing more to say. Its not a good album, its worth 5 bucks for a reason. Its a completely different animal from the last 2 cd's and yeah thats not a bad thing but the direction they took isnt exactly a huge leap forward.

FOR NEW LISTENERS:

It sucks, go check out their other stuff. What else is there to say? Its a poor album unless your into these types of lyrics or a new type of "tough" music. I mean this could be for you, people obviously like it and even I like some of it.

Give it a listen I mean, go for it. Its got some catchy chorus lines an d a few breakdowns here or there plus the clean vocals arnt that bad at all. If your into it, by all means man!

Production quality is on the higher side, album does sound pretty clean. Guitarists do some real neat things with their instruments and they can write some pretty mean songs, they really stepped it up from the prior cd's and thats the best thing about this album.

I personally like a few tracks but for the most part...it never makes my rotation unless im specifically in the mood for them.

enjoy!
