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. Deep Elm founder John Szuch claims that the original name for the series was intended to be ''The Indie Rock Diaries'', but this was ruled out by the fact that the first volume included Jimmy Eat World and Samiam, who were both signed to major record labels. ''The Emo Diaries'' was chosen because ''The Emotional Diaries'' was too long to fit on the album cover. 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 ...

As with the rest of the series, ''The Hope I Hide Inside'' features mostly unsigned bands contributing songs that were previously unreleased. Reviewer Rob Theakston of Allmusic reviewed the album negatively, remarking that "the collection also exposes emo's greatest weakness right from the get-go: no matter where you are from, it all still sounds strangely the same": There's no real risk-taking involved, as all of the overly glossed productions feature the same lyrical topics ''du jour'' as the previous nine volumes. There are still glimpses of originality, especially in the album's closing moments provided by Richmond's Silent Type. ''Emo ...

As with the rest of the series, ''Sad Songs Remind Me'' features mostly unsigned bands contributing songs that were previously unreleased. Reviewer Tim Sendra of Allmusic reviewed the album negatively, remarking that "overall this is a disappointing collection that seems to hint that emo has run out of gas": Each of the 12 tracks sounds professional and accomplished. Also, apart from the anguished vocals and sad lyrics, the bands are strangely emotionless. The glossy production values and lack of exciting moments will most likely leave listeners cold. The bands here sound like the wave of groups that popped up during the heyday of the alternat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Reception Reviewer Johnny Loftus of Allmusic remarks that the album "features some of the most melodic and tightly arranged material that the series has seen": That is the thing about the ''Emo Diaries'', you always have a pretty good idea about what each new page will bring, but that doesn't make it any less exciting to read. There are a few spots that some might view as experimentation overtaking good sense (the sax solo in the Colour Blue's "Of Our Disregard"), but overall, ''My Very Last Breath'' prov ...

He calls the album "Just as worthy as its ''Emo Diaries'' brethren yet filled with refreshing moments of instrumental or melodic experimentation, Vol. 7 is sure to please the Deep Elm faithful and is a good introductory calling card for many of its participants."

As with the rest of the series, ''I Guess This Is Goodbye'' features mostly unsigned bands contributing songs that were previously unreleased. Reviewer Johnny Loftus of Allmusic remarks that "Sonically, this volume of the series doesn't tread too far from the emo feedbag. The set vacillates between a rawer, post-hardcore sound (Cast Aside) and the drifting and/or driving traditional emo of groups like erithRavine and Benji. This is not the strongest chapter of the ''Emo Diaries'', but it will certainly offer enough thrills and chills for Deep Elm faithful."
