Now this album is amazing, this is real emo. If you feel nostalgic for bands such as mineral, appleseed cast, benton falls or penfold, then this album needs to be bought now. it really is that good, when I first heard empire empire I thought it was a little know emo band from the 90’s I had missed, but no this album came out March 2010.
It is the perfect mix of heartfelt vocals, such as the song i am a snail, and you are a pace i cannot match,
oh, i ought to tell you the truth! i did not to come to plea for you.
where was your heart when your words led the truth anywhere else from you?
you’re not sorry, you are just scared,
i have not come to calm your fears
i am sorry i hid what you are.
but everyone else but me already knew! already knew!
and would not come to plea for you.
where was your heart when they never appeared?
anyone else would care.
but you would not shouldered the weight you should bear.
i will not shed a single tear.
its all delivered in way that mineral would be proud of. The guitars are all jangley, which is a staple for this type of gene, with it all being in 3/4 or 6/8 timing which is another staple of the gene.
I can not say enough about this album so I will just let you listen to i am a snail, and you are a pace i cannot match.
