Continuing our exploration of the music from our youth, we crank the angst to 10 and go full emo with a listen to Emery's debut album, The Weak's End. While the record leans more toward the poppy, melodic side of the emo spectrum, the sporadic scream and aggressive attack of the 3 guitar players pack an effective punch when utilized. And while some would say that side of this record is under-utilized, we argue that it is what makes the record so effective: the emphasis is on the melody and the clean, non-whiney vocal delivery that is perfectly accentuated by the well-placed screams that are typically associated with emo music. So comb your bangs over your left eye, paint your fingernails black and join us for a trip down Angst Avenue.
