As with the rest of the series, ''The Moment of Truth'' features mostly unsigned bands contributing songs that were previously unreleased. Reviewer Kurt Morris of Allmusic remarks that "this third installment of the ''Emo Diaries'' saga is strong from start to finish" and that "Penfold's track should be required listening for all people proclaiming to have a knowledge of what the term emo means." While criticizing some of the songs towards the middle of the compilation as "a bit weak", he notes that "Chase Theory, Epstein, and Last Days of April all contribute dynamic and passionate tracks to help close the album out persuasively.

The Emo Diaries
''The Emo Diaries'' is a series of twelve compilation albums released by Deep Elm Records between 1997 and 2011. The series had an open submissions policy and featured mostly acts that were unsigned at the time of the albums' releases.

Despite the title, the bands featured in the series have a diversity of sounds that do not all necessarily fit into the emo style of rock music.Greenwald, pp. 118-119. Andy Greenwald, in his book '' Nothing Feels Good: Punk Rock, Teenagers, and Emo'', claims that the series "stake a claim for emo as more a shared aesthetic than a genre": e bands included hail from all over the world, and the m ...

It catalogs more than three million album entries and 30 million tracks, as well as information on musicians and bands. Initiated in 1991, the database was first made available on the Internet in 1994. AllMusic is owned by RhythmOne. History AllMusic was launched as ''All Music Guide'' by Michael Erlewine, a "compulsive archivist, noted astrologer, Buddhist scholar and musician". He became interested in using computers for his astrological work in the mid-1970s and founded a software company, Matrix, in 1977. In the early 1990s, as CDs replaced LPs as the dominant format for recorded music, Erlewine purchased what he thought was a CD of early recordings by Little Richard. After buying it he discovered it was a "flaccid latter-day rehash". Frustrated with the labeling, he researched using metadata to create a music guide. In 1990, in Big Rapids, Michigan, he founded ''All Music Guide' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
