[ 2 / 5 ]
Relativity was a fantastic album that really showcased how amazing Johnny Craig's vocals can be, especially accompanied and backed up by technical instrumentals. Sadly, their latest self-titled effort proves to fall far froms the heights that they achieved with Relativity. Replacing the technical and always intriguing guitar work are droning, muddied, simply uninteresting guitars that only go so far as to create background noise and make no attempt to strive any further. This in turn, to a degree, casts a negative light on Johnny Craig's vocals, which come off for the most part as lack luster when in comparison to his performance in Relativity and his efforts with Dance Gavin Dance. Make no mistake, it's still Johnny Craig and even degraded and dragged down as they are here he still never fails to impress me. I sincerely hope that this isn't a sign of what is to come from Emarosa, because if it is I'm afraid that I find little reason to follow these guys any longer.
