a pretty decent return to form for Emery - even if it's a grower and not their best work, I can't deny it's nice to hear Devin's voice again

We may have never been alone during their hiatus, but Emery are only men and they seem to have reverted to their boring post The Question days. Save for a few memorable moments this album is the most bland thing they've put out since I'm Only a Man. Hopefully it's a grower, but it seems pretty shallow to me.

The first Emery album I ever listened to in its entirety. It is also my absolute favorite; nothing else even comes close.

To be honest, this is my first full stint with Emery, but I'd be lying if I said I hadn't heard a few songs off of their polarizing 2009 LP In Shallow Seas We Sail. Everything from "post-hardcore's finest" to "the death of post-hardcore" was said about that record. I've never heard it fully, so I can't say. But if what was said echoes any sentiment as to how Emery is as a band, I'd be more inclined to agree with the former statement. Granted, there are a few moments on You Were Never Alone that are cringeworthy, but for the most part, this is some solid and occasionally wonderful post-hardcore/emo, staying within the modern sound of those respective genres. There's a decent lot of experimentation, and while sometimes it isn't exactly great ("Go Wrong Young Man"), other times it can be very tasteful and enjoyable ("Thrash"). The end result of Emery's first independent LP is quite nice, and the high points definitely outweigh the lows.

Rock, Pebble, and Stone may be one of the greatest Emery songs ever

"The Less You Say" is definitely one of the best Emery songs of all time - all around a solid record. It might grow off of me a little bit, but after two listens it sounds exactly what you'd expect from a new Emery record.

Has a lot of good songs but some seem to bland. Thrash is my favorite seems to be all over the place solid effort

Quite enjoyable, but not as good as We do what we want or shallow seas. The less you say is one of their best songs ever imo.
