by XgavedgeX [More from this Author]  As critical acclaim continues to build for EMERY’s recently released third album I’M ONLY A MAN, the group has announced their first U.S. headlining tour in two years. The winter trek will kick off January 29 in Nashville, TN (see partial listing of dates below) and wrap late March; the support acts are Mayday Parade, As Cities Burn, Pierce the Veil and Cry of the Afflicted.
Strong critical praise has been pouring in for I’M ONLY A MAN: Blender magazine gave the album a three-and-a-half star review, stating ”From the quietly disaffected seething ‘World Away’ to the faux-disco beats on ‘Don’t Bore Us, Get To the Chorus,’ this is screamo worth shouting about” (December 2007). Alternative Press magazine hailed: “Blessed today with confidence and new creativity, their third album, I’M ONLY A MAN, is effortless…” (December 2007). Produced by Ryan Boesch, who previously engineered discs by The Cure, Foo Fighters, Eels, Ozomatli and From First To Last, I’M ONLY A MAN takes the band further into territory glimpsed at in their prior releases: 2004’s self-financed The Weaks End and 2005’s The Question, which have now sold over 250,000 copies combined. For the new album, EMERY--TOBY MORELL (vocals/bass), DEVIN SHELTON (vocals/bass), MATT CARTER (guitar), JOSH HEAD (keyboards) and DAVE POWELL (drums)--expanded their melodic side with songs that resonate long after the first listen including the first single “The Party Song,” “Story About A Man With A Bad Heart” and “Don't Bore Us, Get To The Chorus.” Expect the group, known for their frenetic and undeniably infectious live shows, to tour throughout 2008 and beyond.

Check out some of the early critical reaction for I’M ONLY A MAN: “Behind the lighthearted, optimistic and rocking hooks of the band's lead single [“The Party Song”], off its new third album I'm Only a Man, lies a cautionary tale about the hazards of self-destructive behavior, inspired by lead singer Toby Morrell's friends and wife's personal experiences with making bad choices.” –Maxine Shen, NEW YORK POST, October 2, 2007 --DRUM!, CD review (January 2008). --SAN ANTONIO EXPRESS-NEWS, November 2, 2007 --Corey Matchem, CAMPUS CIRCLE (Los Angeles), November 7, 2007 --Triston Staddon, ALTERNATIVE PRESS, November 2007 --Jo-Ann Greene, ALL MUSIC GUIDE.COM, November 2007 --Elliot Butay, TULSA WORLD (Tulsa, OK), October 5, 2007
