Where Were You When I Was Selling Lots of Records

[Scott Weber]

Emery (http://www.emerymusic.com) sold over 20,000 copies of their new record The Question in the first week of it being in stores. Congrats to the band!

[Rohan Kohli]

That's awesome, congrats to them. More labels should do a first week price-drop.

[theGrue]

Yay for them... I tried to add to the numbers, but my Best Buy was all sold out when I got there.

[SLADE775]

impressive!





They deserve it!

[VexRed0903]

Wow. That is awesome. Totally deserved, too. Yay!

[CalamityRecords]

that's an awesome first week! far higher than i was expecting. didn't even know there was that much hype/interest. But they definitely deserve it. put on an awesome show at SD warped. need to listen to the new album though.

[burntheclouds]

[Luckie St]

[Pat Marquez]

And what an amazing album it is!

[SLADE775]

Congrats!
hello.

[Blueskyburning]

shame the album and artwork are fucking terrible.

yes, i went there.

[straylighthaste]

That's awesome, congrats to them. More labels should do a first week price-drop.
seriously, if the cd is cheap...they are guaranteed a sale from me. i wish every cd could be like $7. i would be able to buy a lot more...and help support more bands.

[littlejohn]

shame the album and artwork are fucking terrible.

yes, i went there.thats crap, i think its a wonderfully put together album, but whatever

[IcedOpethBlind]

Emery (http://www.emerymusic.com) sold over 20,000 copies of their new record The Question in the first week of it being in stores. Congrats to the band!

i was part of it the first day it came out. +1.

[Adeniz19]

im happy i could contribute to those numbers.... wish i could do the same for spill canvas but that cd is nowhere to be found around this area

[IcedOpethBlind]

shame the album and artwork are fucking terrible.

yes, i went there.

that figures. from your favorites, it doesnt seem like you have a vast musical landscape.

[SLADE775]

shame the album and artwork are fucking terrible.

yes, i went there.


why?

[Blueskyburning]

thats crap, i think its a wonderfully put together album, but whatever


Ok. I looked at your profile and saw the bands you liked, thus, your opinion is invalid.

heh. i like all sorts, just emery are bog standard crap really and you have to admit, the artwork is fucking terrible, i could've done that on photoshop in 5mins.

[Katie Schmitz]

hello.

Hey there again!

[SLADE775]

heh. i like all sorts, just emery are bog standard crap really and you have to admit, the artwork is fucking terrible, i could've done that on photoshop in 5mins.i thought the artwork was original and pretty damn cool how it opens up like a real letter.

[Katie Schmitz]

shame the album and artwork are fucking terrible.

yes, i went there.

That's really too bad you think that, you're missing out on a wonderful cd. Why don't you give it another listen?

[Blueskyburning]

oh no please emery fans, don't own me because i think they suck. get a fucking grip, seriously, if anything says anything against your beloved bands you all go off on one.

[Scott Weber]

And by the same logic, you have a Fear Before the March of Flames icon, so your opinion is invalid. That band is terrible (my opinion doesn't make it true for you) Welcome to subjectivity. Musical tastes are opinion. You can't discount what somebody believes.

[Blueskyburning]

That's really too bad you think that, you're missing out on a wonderful cd. Why don't you give it another listen?

i have never liked this band since day one when I heard the demos for the weaks end, to me, it just seems like they're doing something really bog standard and they're capable of alot more.

[SLADE775]

EMERY has a mindblowing live show, they have two great releases under their belts.

you're absolutly wrong here. :shake:

[Blueskyburning]

ok wow you owned me, sweet. i'll let you off though because you're hot.

[Katie Schmitz]

i have never liked this band since day one when I heard the demos for the weaks end, to me, it just seems like they're doing something really bog standard and they're capable of alot more.

Well you're entitled to your opinion, so I give you credit for stating it. :)

[Drew Beringer]

Good work for Emery, awesome live show and awesome cd.

[Adeniz19]

if you think its just "standard" screamo you really havent listened to it

[Katie Schmitz]

if you think its just "standard" screamo you really havent listened to it

I think there is a lot less screaming in this cd than there was on "The Weak's End".

[fsasatticus]

woo hoo, not gonna buy it!

[Katie Schmitz]

if you think its just "standard" screamo you really havent listened to it

I think there is a lot less screaming in this cd than there was on "The Weak's End". I really :wow: this cd (in my humble opinion).

[starcrossdlovex]

haha. The title made me laugh.

I'm glad they're racking up good numbers. They completely deserve it.

[Blueskyburning]

1) it's not screamo
2) i listen to fucking music before i judge it, i'm very picky with music, but i'm not fucking close minded.

as i said, i've never liked this band before day one. rape me with your minus scene points please, i've stated my opinion, it's not like i've gave anyone here minus points for liking them, is it.

[SLADE775]

oh no please emery fans, don't own me because i think they suck. get a fucking grip, seriously, if anything says anything against your beloved bands you all go off on one.

I think you're way off base here. I hate almost everything in your profile, so what makes your opinion so godly?

pathetic....

the packaging is original and unique. Well-done if I must say.

you're a fool man.

[Blueskyburning]

you hate almost everything in my profile? sweet. i'd say most of the bands in my profile have done alot more for music than emery.

[theradiatorhums]

It's good.

I bet about 9,000 of those kids were a little disappointed.

[ADreamToCrush]

shame the album and artwork are fucking terrible.

yes, i went there.
So hard to please. Personally, I thought that was one of the better album layouts out there. While rather plain visually, the whole envelope idea was really cool, especially with the real sticker and such. Better than just a booklet with a bunch of pictures of the band.


But I digress. Congrats Emery, that's pretty good for a band with no MTV/Radio airtime. And I pre-ordered, so The Question++.

[masthmcpb]

fucking awesome, go tooth and nail, they are a great label, every release anymore is successful the new DTR

[littlejohn]

judging by your taste in music, it doesnt appear that you like bands that know how to sing or carry any sort of melody. .. so there fore i would rather listen to a porkupine than take your opinion on music.

[Katie Schmitz]

Okay, c'mon ... what's the point of aruging about favorite bands on the internet? This thread is to give Emery congratulations on a job well done with sales their first week ... in the end all this arguing does is fuel the fire some more, and take away from the real point of this thread.

Seriously, if you like Emery AWESOME! If you don't, then what can I say? You just don't.

[SLADE775]

woo hoo, not gonna buy it!

another *dick* remark.

OMG you're avatar is the fucking coolest ever!

[Blueskyburning]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.

[dekdog11]

awesome, what a great cd

true.


but they should not be rude about it.

and really, this is a congrats thread ( like you said ) so they should take it elsewhere.

"wow, you got all fired up there"

[Katie Schmitz]

true.


but they should not be rude about it.

ans really, this is a congrats thread so they should take it elsewhere.

"wow, you got all fired up there"

Yeah, you're right, no need to be rude. Oh slade ... I have such a soft spot for you :)

[SLADE775]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.
how could you fucking say that!!!!!

DARKEST HOUR = crazy screaming metal.....since when is that an original idea?

same goes for FBTMOF!


whatever I'm done for now.

[Blueskyburning]

well, do they fucking jump on the bandwagon with the whole "emo-core" thing? no.

im out anyway, have fun creaming over fftl, mcr and emery, congrats.

[OGODTHAFTERMATH]

yea i work at Best Buy in Brighton, Michigan and we sold out by wednesday! I LOVE Emery and was stoked that they sold sooo many copies and even a good chunk of "The Weaks End" for those new fans who hadnt heard it yet!

[Augustine Rock]

I think you're way off base here. I hate almost everything in your profile, so what makes your opinion so godly?

you're a fool man.

I agree 100%. I love the packaging.

[littlejohn]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.no the bands in your profile dont recycle they just plain suck, they cant sing, all they do is scream/yell and play crappy music with no sense of different time signatures, there are more tempos than 140 BPM if you didnt know and 4/4 isnt that great of a time signature oh yeah, and then their "breakdowns" most of them just put the song in half time do the same lyrics and instruments just going half the speed, lemm know when you feel like listening to something other than all screaming grinding guitars and double bass pedals going as fast as possible, there is more to music than the crap on metalblade records.

[Augustine Rock]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.
You need to turn up your hearing aide, because if you think Emery recycles ideas, you havent heard the album.

[Blueskyburning]

you. are. useless.

[littlejohn]

you. are. useless.the only band in your profile that isnt a waste of space like you is GlassJaw

[Augustine Rock]

you. are. useless.

You should probably stop arguing, you are most definitely in the minority in this debate.

[littlejohn]

You should probably stop arguing, you are most definitely in the minority in this debate.he is an idiot for coming into a emery thread to talk crap about them when we were congratulating them on their record sales for the first week

[Brandlore]

I went out a few times before I actually found a store that wasnt sold out...and best buy price matches so I pulled a trick or two and got it that way. I bought the cd and I found it very meh and weak. I was expecting a more energy based songs...you know the emery sound, but they have toned it down....so I guess some of you will say "maturing".
I listen to it a few more times and the songs grew on me a little...with the exception of pretty much the end of the album. I still wish they had more heavier songs...but I will settle

[sputniksignals]

emery is some of the most intelligent music ive heard in a long time this side of kaddisfly.

[littlejohn]

I still wish they had more heavier songs...but I will settlesee now this guy i respect a little for actually listening to the album before judging it on the artwork, at least you gave it a shot, and hopefully you will end up enjoying it a little more, the weaks end too a little while to grow on me so who knows

[radiofriendly]

You need to turn up your hearing aide, because if you think Emery recycles ideas, you havent heard the album.
yeah, for real right? this album is brilliant and original not too mention they utilie the probably the best vocal talent in the scene right now. man, that guys got a set of pipes. there's not a shred of repitition in any of this. that last song-win win situation-epic...that synth/string arrangement, is unbelievable

[IcedOpethBlind]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.

yeah. Darkest Hour has done so much for music since At The Gates.

[/sarcasm]

[dorfmac]

one of my favorite cds to come out so far this year. the first 7 or 8 songs are all great

[sputniksignals]

yeah, for real right? this album is brilliant and original not too mention they utilie the probably the best vocal talent in the scene right now. man, that guys got a set of pipes. there's not a shred of repitition in any of this. that last song-win win situation-epic...that synth/string arrangement, is unbelievable
i get chills just listening to that song over and over again. i love when a song does that to me

Hmmmm i can see that, but I wasnt necessarily looking for heavy, just the great songwriting skill Emery has.


Listen to the last 60 seconds of Track 2, anyone who cant fall completely in love with that breakdown at the end has issues. Its so beautifully orchestrated/sung/mixed and the lyrics are like woah.

[reav]

I shall be getting this album soon. and a shirt if they get a pretty one soon.

I envy anyone who ever got to see them live.
damn you, austria, damn you.

[IcedOpethBlind]

well, do they fucking jump on the bandwagon with the whole "emo-core" thing? no.

im out anyway, have fun creaming over fftl, mcr and emery, congrats.

way to be biased toward everyone with such lame shit. you forgot hawthorne heights. oh how w elove them so much, toooo, rightt??! seriously, go find a fucking clue.

[reav]

go cream over the fall of troy.

wait... I just did that.

[Augustine Rock]

yeah, for real right? this album is brilliant and original not too mention they utilie the probably the best vocal talent in the scene right now. man, that guys got a set of pipes. there's not a shred of repitition in any of this. that last song-win win situation-epic...that synth/string arrangement, is unbelievable
I would say the best vocals in all of rock music right now, up there with Anthony Green. Except there are 2 of them, and they both can sing. And fuck man, they pull it off live whilst going apeshit on stage. THAT is skill.

See, I liked the Weak's End, but then I saw Emery live, and they just blew my mind. I wish they would blow up and take over the world, but I am not sure the world is ready for their intensity.

[radiofriendly]

Hmmmm i can see that, but I wasnt necessarily looking for heavy, just the great songwriting skill Emery has.
yeah, as sputnik stated already, it's just very intelligent. their chord progressions are so innovative, not too mention the technical aspects of all their instrumentations. it's more akin to a cinematic score at times. my mom even appreciated this album.

[IcedOpethBlind]

go cream over the fall of troy.

wait... I just did that.

i'd love to.

now there's some originality. show me another band with as much potential and talent as these 3 kids....

no, seriously, please do, i'd love you so much for it.

[sputniksignals]

yeah, as sputnik stated already, it's just very intelligent. their chord progressions are so innovative, not too mention the technical aspects of all their instrumentations. it's more akin to a cinematic score at times. my mom even appreciated this album.
it could be a soundtrack to a movie, you are very correct. it almost seems like a concept album at a lesser degree. either way, its great how the songs can be so different both instrumentally, vocally, and lyrically, but flow together into one epic album.

[radiofriendly]

oh crap! their live set is so awesome. i wasn't ready for that show. i was stunned, at what they did. very tight band. what an experience.

[sputniksignals]

p.s. the fall of troy is going to make my head explode when my preorder arrives, dear god they are awesome

[Katie Schmitz]

i'd love to.

now there's some originality. show me another band with as much potential and talent as these 3 kids....

no, seriously, please do, i'd love you so much for it.


FOT = :wow:

[duffe]

Champagne !!!! http://yelims2.free.fr/Fete/Champ.gif

[reav]

i'd love to.

now there's some originality. show me another band with as much potential and talent as these 3 kids....

no, seriously, please do, i'd love you so much for it.

sorry for getting me wrong, I was actually saying the same thing.

[Augustine Rock]

oh crap! their live set is so awesome. i wasn't ready for that show. i was stunned, at what they did. very tight band. what an experience.
You really can't prepare for it. Its just intense and extremely precise at the same time.

[IcedOpethBlind]

emery is some of the most intelligent music ive heard in a long time this side of kaddisfly.

shit. reminds me...i need to pick up the unicorn record.

[SLADE775]

emery grows on you.



even if you're not so into it at first.

[IcedOpethBlind]

emery grows on you.



even if you're not so into it at first.

true. at first i thought the record was just, meh. but then it finally "clicked" like most good records do after repeated listens.

[SLADE775]

FOB? = :wow:


hahaha you are the cutest.


jeez.....without you on here I dont know what i'd do.

[reav]

I love the 80ies pop feel on parts of the records.

anyone else here loves The Police? (the band, duh... the one with Sting)

[Greg Dona]

haha, and i still haven't gotten my 'advance'

[IcedOpethBlind]

I love the 80ies pop feel on parts of the records.

anyone else here loves The Police? (the band, duh... the one with Sting)

sting was in the police?!?!? omg gnarlyss!!!!

haha, but seriously, yeah. i can hear it.

the poppy feel that isnt too poppy. and still has some balls.

[reav]

Where were you when I was waiting for my 'advance'?

sting was in the police?!?!? omg gnarlyss!!!!

haha, but seriously, yeah. i can hear it.

the poppy feel that isnt too poppy. and still has some balls.
I never said it had no balls.
Actually, sounding 80ies and original at the same time is pretty ballsy these days :)

[SLADE775]

I love the 80ies pop feel on parts of the records.

anyone else here loves The Police? (the band, duh... the one with Sting)

yeah its definatly fun to hear.

[reav]

Where were you when I was wrapped around your finger?

[IcedOpethBlind]

Where were you when I was waiting for my 'advance'?


I never said it had no balls.
Actually, sounding 80ies and original at the same time is pretty ballsy these days :)

exactly my friend. ;)

[Augustine Rock]

hahaha you are the cutest.


jeez.....without you on here I dont know what i'd do.Probably fight with Jared an 100 other guys over another girl, who by default would be much less attractive.

[reav]

exactly my friend. ;)

We sure made friends quick. :)

[SLADE775]

Probably fight with Jared an 100 other guys over another girl, who by default would be much less attractive.
ha! me fight over anyone else? No WAY!

[IcedOpethBlind]

We sure made friends quick. :)

oh shit. mah bad. every time i lose. :(

[reav]

Obviously, the witty guys always get the girl.

oh shit. mah bad. every time i lose. :(
Well I kindof prefer losing over dying...

[Scott Weber]

ok wow you owned me, sweet. i'll let you off though because you're hot.
:love:

[SLADE775]

:love:



afterall, you dident get the name SCOTTY TOO HAWTIE for nothing!

[reav]

That sure is a desirable name.

[Scott Weber]

Haha. I get that a lot.

[nathanreimer]

I like Emery. I dont like Blueskyburning.

[SLADE775]

Haha. I get that a lot.


yeah from me!!!!!


hahahahahaha just kidding Scott.


hey check it out.....I'm almost 21!:kinggrin:

[notetoxself]

thats awesome since I would not suspect that it would do that good in one week

[reav]

I'll be the creepy guy with the camera in the backroom.

[IcedOpethBlind]

I like Emery. I dont like Blueskyburning.

you are not alone.

[Scott Weber]

yeah from me!!!!!


hahahahahaha just kidding Scott.


hey check it out.....I'm almost 21!:kinggrin:

[sputniksignals]

[Scott Weber]

scott your signature made me laugh out loud foreelz
hahaha

[sputniksignals]

hahaha
im sorry this is random but it seems appropriate (being that it made me laugh as much as your sig)

MOM THE MEATLOAF!!!! FUCK

[ADreamToCrush]

Haha thanks for the compliment on the avatar Hickpuff. Tails is so much cooler than Sonic. And Sonic is pretty cool.

And yes, Fall of Troy is awesome. Reav, is that really what FCP stands for? Or did you just make that up. I was always wondering what such an insanely long acronym meant.

[Chemical Love]

Awesome, congrats to those guys.

[cheeruptheEmo]

congrats and thanks for reminding me to go get it! how could i forget?!

[living_unaware]

I saw Emery at warped tour yesterday and Josh (keyboard/screamer) was not there because he hurt his back. So Toby did some of the screaming and the crowd did other parts.


They rocked btw

[kittypants]

I CAN'T STOP LISTENING TO THIS ALBUM!!1!

congrats to Emery on the sales! That's already a third of their sales for the last TOTAL album sales.

[kapler23]

20K...amazing! what a great year for tooth and nail!

[R7265ab]

sweet I am suprised.

[clintdaddy]

#50 on the charts. Congrats

[InaGreendase]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.

Whoa, this isn't a defense of Emery, but didn't the band in your icon use Botch's throwaway riffs on their last album?

[xbrokendownx]

listening to freddie mercury is one of my fave songs of the year

[Blake Solomon]

if you havent bought this album yet... Youve been miss behavin


sorry, couldnt help it

[chokeychicken]

these guys totally deserve it; they work hard night after night.

and of course, tore shit up at the va beach warped tour today. had probably biggest draw for a non-main stage set. and the piti was wall to wall. literally.

rock on emery!

[Frank Giaramita]

well littlejohn, the bands I like don't re-cycle tired ideas for music, so that's probably why you don't like them.

Don't you dudes in Britain have fucked up teeth? That shit's crazy.

[Blueskyburning]

Don't you dudes in Britain have fucked up teeth? That shit's crazy.

Ok wow guys, I don't like Emery, big woop.

And there's no fucking reason to get racist about it, that's just one of them stupid fucking urban legends of whatever, like most Americans are fat. Yes, I'm a cunt about music, but I'm not fucking racist, so don't go there.

[rmenteer14]

these guys are fucking fantastic.

[reav]

Haha thanks for the compliment on the avatar Hickpuff. Tails is so much cooler than Sonic. And Sonic is pretty cool.

And yes, Fall of Troy is awesome. Reav, is that really what FCP stands for? Or did you just make that up. I was always wondering what such an insanely long acronym meant.

1) Tails is rad, but it's all about Knuckles.
2) I don't really think that this is what FCP stands for, but I didnt really make it up either, I read it over at some obscure site.

[Bruycker]

now you see the prove,due the leak everybody still buys it...or at least a lot buy it

[Scott Weber]

Ok wow guys, I don't like Emery, big woop.

And there's no fucking reason to get racist about it, that's just one of them stupid fucking urban legends of whatever, like most Americans are fat. Yes, I'm a cunt about music, but I'm not fucking racist, so don't go there.
You being british vs. us being American isn't racism, idiot. We're both probably white.

[last light]

awesome...love the band

[tragedyco]

yeah i saw that... good for them!
