"I'm Only a Man" is the third album released by the post-hardcore band Emery.

Release

Emery debuted some tracks from "I'm Only a Man" while touring with Underoath in summer 2007, and on July 29, 2007, they released "The Party Song," which was followed by "Rock-N-Rule" on August 16, "After the Devil Beats His Wife" on September 17, and "Don't Bore Us, Get to the Chorus" on September 24, 2007. Four days later the album was leaked onto the internet in its entirety.

tyle changes

Emery's style shifted even further from their debut than had ""The Question"". The sound of "I'm Only a Man" is much more accessible and less aggressive than their past records.

Due to bassist Joel Green's departure from Emery prior to the making of "I'm Only a Man", guitarist Matt Carter decided to maintain simple guitar parts in comparison to prior releases, instead having the album rely mainly on the bass and keyboard to be the musical focus.Fact|date=March 2008
