Title: a superb album with great guitar, vocals
Review: i didn't expect much from this album because i bought it only for the band's name. but as other albums come and go in my stereo, songs for emma stays. the gruff vocals have so much emotion, and the chiming guitars rock. i especially like "Ludlow," based on a Howard Zinn essay that moved me too. it's about an event in 1914 (i think) where national guardsmen fired into the tents of the families of striking miners in ludlow, colo., and killed a bunch of people. but don't get the idea that the album is preachy. the songs don't get bogged down in politics. they're just very passionate and addictive with actual melodies. if you like politics with rock, this is a must.
