This CD is a must have for music with substance! It has raw guitar and bass sounds to it which may even seem a bit of a turn off at first, but if you listen to the entire composition and give it a few listens, it may become easier to appreciate the life these songs are made out of. This CD is one of those where the music stands out as something unique, yet it's arranged so well. Some hard rock songs, a few moderate rock songs, and a few slow rock songs with a keyboard ballad thrown in the works.
The songs may be very relatable, as they refer to the usual topics of relationships, drugs, and death, and also other subject matter such as forgiveness, greed, and desire are explored.
What makes this CD special is not just music or what the songs are about, but the way the lyrics are spoken. More frank than one might expect, and to the point.
There is not a single listed track on this CD which doesn't deserve a listen, and I do not say that for too many artists or CDs.

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.

On Val Emmich's "Slow Down Kid," he uses music that expresses a myriad of emotions, ranging from the tender, heartwrenching angst of Ben Folds and others to the impassioned, burgeoning upheaval of so many young artists today with whom the world just doesn't seem to sit correctly. He cleverly satires his television acting career in "Rat Race," sardonically mocking the conflict between earning so much and losing oneself in such a faceless, image-obsessed field. He show his fire burning withing with the first single, "Shock," and wraps the album perfectly with "Slow Down Kid," a moving piano-backed piece with enough vocal power to summarize the entire effort. Val's album is a definite must for any fans of the whole emo scene...or anyone just wanting to catch a glimpse of a new musical power on the rise. Check it out..

Val is emo at it's best. His voice and lyrics are both comforting and disturbing. I lose myself in the music everytime I listen to the album. There's something for everyone. The music is so intimate so you may want to listen to it alone with the stereo turned all the way up. Amazing stuff people, pick it up if you can. Check out Val's website for more great info on the beautiful and sexy Val Emmich!
