5.0 out of 5 stars Secret of an Emo Pop Prince, Jan 24 2005

By

FizzWiz (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Slow Down Kid (Audio CD)

How many artists can call themselves "an emo pop prince" as publisher Village Voice has suggested? Probably only the likes of Val Emmich. Emmich's album, "Slow Down Kid (SDK)", reflects his remarkable past success with events such as the 2003 Asbury Music Awards and his video, "Privacy Attracts a Crowd," rotating through MTV's Advance Warning as an unsigned major label artist at the time. SDK is not simply "just indie emo," but its grunginess and piano and xylophone ballads add a wide range with complete flow musically and lyrically. Emmich questions his own existence "I could care less if my brakes fail" (Bury Me) and frustrations with significant others "My love for you or a lifestyle" (Separate Things) to admitting that life is difficult but we can move on "It's hard to get your foot on the brake." (title track) With such forthright song lyrics to a band he respects as "The Rescue Effort" to even thanking "the message-boarders and the street teamers," Val Emmich is truly emo. The natural talent and fresh personal concern placed into the making of the album are what make SDK an indelible keeper.

This review is from: Slow Down Kid (Audio CD)

This cd has so much to offer. Val's voice comes as soothing yet disturbing at times. The lyrics really reach out the listener and I just get lost in the guitar riffs every time I hear their songs. This cd is highly recommended to all emo listeners out there.
