It is not often we are presented with an album quite like
Friends Of Emmet's "Coming Apart". This is 5 tracks of
absolute genius. Lets just call a spade a spade here. This is nothing
less than rock heaven. strong vocals, perfectly suiting well thought
out lyrics. Instrumentation is magnificent. Each song taking you
on a different emotion and road.
We have not heard such outstanding and fresh songwriting
since David Bowie. The level of expertise in the songwriting skills
and vocals are a sheer delight to hear.
Mark Leddy and Brian Lyman work that guitar line as only
they can. These two are dynamic and sexy. They have no problem holding
the attention of the listener and those lucky enough to see them
live. These vibrant, strong, guitar lead tracks show the level of
expertise these two possess. With handsome Keith Geraghty's impressive
bass line threading them together, you can't lose. The keyboards
are driven by the gorgeous Paul Dempsey who brings to the table
an ability we could only dream of. And to tie it all together is
the magnificent Lee Boyland on drums. Together these men will have
you in the "F.O.E. Zone" and leave you begging for more.
The 3 tracks I have chosen to single out are:
1) They are coming apart - This song impressed me with
it's spectacular lyrics. I absolutely loved the instrumentation
on this song. The lead in on it is inventive and addictive. Vocals
are sexy, strong and clear. With the guitar holding court in the
most spectacular way, Friends Of Emmet has us hooked on this one.
This cut is smooth and well produced. They have a gift which enables
them to rock your socks off while singing a slower paced song. Definitely
a song that will live in your memory and time stamp your life. Very
well done.
2) 13th Floor - This track has a big sound. The outstanding
guitar led vocals are heart stopping. Once again Friends Of Emmet
show us just how skilled they are with the lyrics and instrumentation.
Strong percussion and drums, not to mention the magnificent bass
line. Keyboard work is exceptional on this piece. This is the kind
of song that touches each of us in it's own way and still has us
humming it long after the CD Player is turned off. What a success.
3) Watching the world - Friends Of Emmet has us wrapped
around their little fingers with "Watching the world".
This song is sophisticated, polished, very well produced and mastered.
Perfect intrumentation and vocals bring life to the lyrics. It paints
a picture for us. I love a song I can feel as well as see. Now thats
an art.
** Special mention has to made of the Remix of Young Americans.
It is over the top good!!!!!!!! Very well done guys!
Not many would try, even fewer would succeed, but Friends
Of Emmet has done this song proud!! Check it out yourself.
