This was the first album that I listened to from them, and I instantly fell in love with it. I love the lyrics and the instrumental's on the album.

This album was a grower. Emery has their own unique sound, and a puzzling vibe. When I first heard it, I thought it was weird. But now that I've listened to it probably over 100 times, The Question is one of the most beautiful albums ever made by Emery.

After their emotionally charged debut, Emery decided to show their softer sides on their sophomore effort. Their is decidedly less screamed vocals on this record, with the emphasis being on the vocal harmonies that enriches their songs so well. The songwriting here is pretty good, but unlike The Weak's End, becomes somewhat homogenous by the end of the album. That's not to say the album is in any way bad, because the catchiness, especially of the guitars, and the vocal dynamics add a lot to what is otherwise a simple post-hardcore formula. As with all of their records, the opener is a great song, and in this case, really sets the tone for the rest of of the album with its simple-yet-effective approach to post-hardcore. It does drag a bit in the middle, unfortunately, but the ending duo of "In A Lose/Lose Situation" and "In A Win/Win Situation" does a great job of helping cancel that out. Basically, this is Emery at their most uncomplicated, and for the most part, it's pretty decent.

Emery presents The Question: an album that tell of tales of sex, heartbreak, drugs, violence, religion etc. Album stay rather ambiguous with it's variety of vices and struggles till it all ties in together at the mournful ending of "In A Win, Win Situation" where Toby and Devin come to their conclusions about the matter(s). An interesting and compelling listen, and one that is highly recommended.

After their impressive debut LP, Emery unsurprisingly concentrate on their melodic strengths here on follow-up 'The Question'... The aggression has been cut back & the rougher edges have been polished up. This assists the energetic & catchy tracks (especially the hooky 'Studying Politics' & offbeat 'Listening to Freddie Mercury'), yet leaves other moments feeling a little sterile. Overall however, there is a likeable consistency evident, while the dual (sometimes tri) vocal attack is always an attraction. Recommended Tracks: Studying Politics, Listening to Freddie Mercury, Playing With Fire & The Terrible Secret.
