anyone else really into this band? I checked them out on the advice of a friend and im just blown away by them. I know alot of people on here are death metal fans and such but this band has amazing lyrics... Also i had no idea they were a "Christianish" band.....the lead singer has an amazing voice and I really hope they take off a little.. take a listen to my favorite song of theirs... youtube.com/watch?v=d5SBYhZyo1s

It is a good cd, but I got tired of the bulk of it.
The band sounds like a Tooth and Nail records greatest hits collection. Which isn't bad, but every song you can pick out a T&N band that sounds just like it. They must have had 5 that could be Emery songs.
I did really enjoy it though.

Yeah, and Cable Car is a song that could do it. They were starting to blow up 8 months or so ago and then just dropped straight off. I have no idea what happened.
I used to talk to them a bit, we tried booking them out here but our schedules never worked. Always seemed like nice dudes. Then I saw them getting some major press and was stoked. Then poof it all stopped. made me sad.

I swear, if more people knew what "Alive with the GLory of love" was really about, they would either fawn over his songs like me, or be really freaking offended.
I am waiting for a backlash from "Died a Jew" The first two lines crack me up and he has a hell of a point, but some one is going to take issue with it.
