Album Of The Day: I'm Only A Man by Emery

Album Art of Emery's I'm Only A Man album - In what looks like a bathroom with no paint on the walls, just sheetrock, there is an old, white sink with two taps, one on each corner of the sink, and a metal soap holder in the middle. Above it is a mirror with a wood frame which is kinda frosted so you cannot see the reflection. In the top left, the band name is in white and the album's name is below in orangish-red.

Emery is a band that's hard to explain for me. They have a wide variety of sounds. There's definitely some screaming and lots of guitars, but it's also "emo" in parts and I think the sung vocals kinda remind me of a musical in the way they're sung for some reason. I'm Only A Man is their third album and it talks about the humanity of us and the struggles with relationships and ego. Honestly, the first time or two I listen to an Emery album, I usually am not sure I like it, but on subsequent listens I find more depth musically and lyrically, plus the unexpected turns it takes don't throw me off so much. This album is maybe not for everyone, but it's a musical roller coaster of rock, metal, emo, electronic pop, and many other things.
