▐█ RELEASE NOTES: ▐█▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ Featuring unreleased songs by The White Octave (ex-Cursive), █▌
▐█ Slowride, Reubens Accomplice, Benji, Billy, Cast Aside, The End █▌
▐█ of Julia, Eniac, Kerith Ravine, The Others, Sunfactor (England) █▌
▐█ and The Walt Lariat. If you haven't heard these bands yet, you █▌
▐█ soon will. Why not get informed early? Brimming with all the █▌
▐█ best new talent in the underground, this is yet another fine █▌
▐█ chapter in Indie Rock's most talked about and well-regarded █▌
▐█ compilation series. "Outstanding song selection makes this a █▌
▐█ must have..." says Ink Nineteen. █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ REVIEWS: █▌
▐█ "Deep Elm really should be praised for this series of comps. Not █▌
▐█ only do they bring a lot of new bands some much needed █▌
▐█ attention, but all the tracks are previously unreleased. The █▌
▐█ album includes the rather Jawbreaker like Slowride, a great █▌
▐█ track from The White Octave, the screamed anger of Cast Aside █▌
▐█ and expansive soundscape that Benji produce -- all of which get █▌
▐█ the thumbs up from me. Another essential purchase for all you █▌
▐█ emo kids." - Scanner █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "The first two volumes in the Emo Diaries series were █▌
▐█ instrumental in introducing me to the style and so many █▌
▐█ excellent bands. Those two compilations are still some of my █▌
▐█ favorite albums. Deep Elm always manages to pull together some █▌
▐█ great bands for this series. But this time around on Emo Diaries █▌
▐█ Five 'I Guess This is Goodbye,' the batch is probably the most █▌
▐█ diverse we've heard since the first two. Powerful and █▌
▐█ hardcore-powered songs mix with more mellow and quieter songs. █▌
▐█ It's a great group of songs that really showcase the style that █▌
▐█ is emo. The White Octave contribute one of their unique blends █▌
▐█ of indie rock, math rock, and disjointed noise. Slowride's █▌
▐█ "Daydreams of a Future" is one of those post-punk rocking tracks █▌
▐█ with lots of driving guitar and melody. Reubens Accomplice is █▌
▐█ one of my favorite new bands here. The UK's Sunfactor has an █▌
▐█ older Braid-like sound combined with a nice sense of melody and █▌
▐█ precision. Their song, "Frostbite," is another of the gems on █▌
▐█ this release. Kerith Ravine remind me of the softer side of █▌
▐█ Jejune, with a female vocalist and some fantastic guitar. Cast █▌
▐█ Aside's "Racecar Theory" is my favorite track here. Starting off █▌
▐█ quiet and pretty with a female vocalist, suddenly a male singer █▌
▐█ starts screaming as the sound intensifies. The two rip out █▌
▐█ alternating shouted/screamed vocals, interspersed with very █▌
▐█ moody, powerful spoken parts. This track is just so damn cool. █▌
▐█ Chapter Five is probably the best in this series since the █▌
▐█ second volume. Instead of containing twelve similar bands, this █▌
▐█ volume pushes the envelope. This is emo in its traditional and █▌
▐█ more well-known style as well as styles focused on math-rock, █▌
▐█ post-rock, hardcore, and other sounds. And that's why these █▌
▐█ songs are so good, so impressive together. Even better, all but █▌
▐█ a few of these bands were unknown to me." - Delusions of █▌
▐█ Adequacy █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "More quality emo from Deep Elm who prove with this record, yet █▌
▐█ again, how good they are at finding fantastic up-and-coming █▌
▐█ bands before anyone else gets the chance. The twelve tracks here █▌
▐█ are of a consistently high standard with standout tracks from █▌
▐█ Chapel Hill's The White Octave, London's Sunfactor, and █▌
▐█ Houston's Eniac, whose beautiful I'll Never Get Home is probably █▌
▐█ the best of the bunch. Expect dramatic guitars, crashing drums █▌
▐█ and a combination of melody, raw energy and emotion. On the █▌
▐█ whole this is a very strong compilation with the vast majority █▌
▐█ of tracks being a joy to listen to." - Kerrang █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "One of my favorite labels come out tops again with another █▌
▐█ amazing chapter to their ongoing Emo Diaries series. This one's █▌
▐█ just as good as the last one but has The White Octave on it who █▌
▐█ are absolutely stunning. Other bands rocking my world and this █▌
▐█ comp are Sunfactor, who always amazes me how better they seem to █▌
▐█ get, Eniac, who play the emo thing for a while before jumping up █▌
▐█ and grabbing you with an absolute stunner of a hook, and Cast █▌
▐█ Aside, who manage to sound emo yet scary at the same time with █▌
▐█ dueling male and female vocals with screams and growls popping █▌
▐█ up all over. As you should already know these comps feature █▌
▐█ exclusively unreleased tracks and are well worth your money. I █▌
▐█ should say something bad about this, otherwise everyone's going █▌
▐█ to think I'm on the Deep Elm payroll!" - Waxface █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "Chapter Five of The Emo Diaries is an excellent compilation of █▌
▐█ passionately committed, challenging and genre defying music. I █▌
▐█ Guess This Is Goodbye contains twelve very fine bands from █▌
▐█ America, not a bad one amongst them and all worthy of further █▌
▐█ investigation. Thoughtful, creative songwriting, this is how a █▌
▐█ compilation should be - compiled with a love for genuinely █▌
▐█ moving music and a desire to share those bands with anyone who █▌
▐█ cares. A fine documentation of some very fine bands, each with █▌
▐█ the ability to stir emotion and the desire to challenge █▌
▐█ themselves musically rather than just wanting to sound like █▌
▐█ their heroes. It's difficult to single out any of the bands but █▌
▐█ I do need to go and find out more about the post rock sound of █▌
▐█ The Walt Lariat, the pure emotion of Eniac and the delicate █▌
▐█ fragile edginess of Karith Ravine...everyone of these bands are █▌
▐█ in need of further investigation with their passionately █▌
▐█ stirring guitar-based emo delight. This is an excellent █▌
▐█ compilation that shall be played again and again. A big thanks █▌
▐█ to those excellent people at Deep Elm for taking the time and █▌
▐█ caring so much. One of the finest albums of the year in a year █▌
▐█ that's throwing up some treasures. Very highly recommended." - █▌
▐█ Organart █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "The Emo Diaries is probably one of the best series of all time. █▌
▐█ It documents the progression of a movement. All songs are █▌
▐█ previously unreleased which makes the Diaries even more special. █▌
▐█ Each chapter in the series concentrates on new bands, not hype, █▌
▐█ just music. On I Guess This Is Goodbye: Chapter 5, The White █▌
▐█ Octave is amazing, Sunfactor and The Walt Lariat are quality █▌
▐█ bands as well. There is already a Chapter 6 in the works, and I █▌
▐█ see no reason to stop. If it ain't broke, don't fix it." - █▌
▐█ Interference █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "Any one of the songs on The Emo Diaries Chapter 5: I Guess This █▌
▐█ Is Goodbye would prove to be an excellent background score for █▌
▐█ any motion picture about failed relationships. You can almost █▌
▐█ see the doors being slammed in faces, or the quintessential two █▌
▐█ in the morning, drunk and screaming in the front yard final █▌
▐█ argument. All of the bands are undeniably punchy, strong and █▌
▐█ drenched in emotional sweat. Most are a brilliant coupling of █▌
▐█ intensity and pain and are strongly fueled by suggestively heart █▌
▐█ felt lyrical content. Standouts include Sunfactor with an almost █▌
▐█ perfectly crafted power pop anthem, The White Octave's Looking █▌
▐█ Past Sky and its crushingly compact anger driven bass riff and █▌
▐█ stabbingly strong guitars and The Walt Lariat with one of the █▌
▐█ greatest insomnia songs ever written." - Salt For Slugs █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "One of the longest-running compilation series just keeps on █▌
▐█ chugging along. As the Deep Elm line-up shows, the definition of █▌
▐█ emo keeps changing. The songs on this set bear a familiar █▌
▐█ resemblance to the ones on the first, but the lines of descent █▌
▐█ aren't exactly clear. Which is what makes this series so █▌
▐█ valuable from a historical standpoint. This disc is also █▌
▐█ valuable simply from the musical standpoint. The songs, as █▌
▐█ always, are great, which is enough of a reason for me." - Aiding █▌
▐█ & Abetting █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "Deep Elm has managed to put together yet another strong █▌
▐█ collection on this, the fifth instalment in its very dependable █▌
▐█ series The Emo Diaries. Does this album rock? Yes, it does. It █▌
▐█ opens with a couple of great hook-driven tunes, the █▌
▐█ Pavement-esque 'Looking Past Sky' from The White Octave and the █▌
▐█ full throttle punk of 'Daydream of a Future' by Slowride. The █▌
▐█ sophomore fun of 'You Do It Awfully' by Reubens Accomplice █▌
▐█ (warning: this song will get stuck in your head) slides █▌
▐█ seamlessly into the moody instrumental jam, '6:00 AM In Cortona' █▌
▐█ by The Walt Lariat. There's raw emotion all over these tracks █▌
▐█ and the tempo shifts of fast/slow, build/release are well █▌
▐█ utilized. Fans won't be disappointed." - Jagged █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "Whatever it is that Deep elm has tapped into, they consistently █▌
▐█ put out quality music. Chapter Five offers twelve unreleased █▌
▐█ tracks of solid music by some great bands. Deep Elm has managed █▌
▐█ to assemble a strong assembly of quality music throughout their █▌
▐█ Emo Diaries series, and this is chapter is no exception." - █▌
▐█ Media Reader █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "This is the fifth installment in Deep Elm's Emo Diaries series █▌
▐█ that documents an extraordinary and powerful style of music that █▌
▐█ possesses the ability to stir strong emotions like no other. █▌
▐█ Consider it a success because, for the FIFTH time in a row, Deep █▌
▐█ Elm has released an excellent compilation of bands. But these █▌
▐█ aren't just emo bands. There's indie rock and punk and hardcore █▌
▐█ and experimental all thrown in, all emotionally charged." - █▌
▐█ Impact Press █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "I had no idea The Emo Diaries were up to Chapter Five. I █▌
▐█ remember Chapter Two so well. And who can forget Chapter Three? █▌
▐█ Chapter Five is as good as any of the others. If I had to pick █▌
▐█ favorite tracks from this collection I'd have to say that Walt █▌
▐█ Lariat's five plus minute instrumental '6:00am in Cortona' is █▌
▐█ quite nice, as is Eniac's 'I'll Never Get Home.' - Splendid █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "I Guess This Is Goodbye: The Emo Diaries Chapter Five captures █▌
▐█ all of the best sub genres of emo, somehow managing to save the █▌
▐█ brightest young talent in the pool from drowning. From Reubens █▌
▐█ Accomplice's geekiness, The Walt Lariat's instrumentation, █▌
▐█ Sunfactor's radio friendly sad pop, to Eniac's arpeggios, these █▌
▐█ bands set themselves apart by doing something different. We can █▌
▐█ still count on The Emo Diaries to provide the newest sparks in █▌
▐█ the genre." - Lollipop █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "Moving along in a continuing series, Deep Elm is doing a █▌
▐█ remarkable job at capturing and documenting the essence of emo █▌
▐█ music. Chapter 5: I Guess This Is Goodbye features The White █▌
▐█ Octave beginning the comp, immediately followed by the powerful █▌
▐█ Slowride. Reubens Accomplice takes a more down-to-earth █▌
▐█ Superchunk approach, continuing down the line with a dimming █▌
▐█ song by Eniac. Of course, this is the tip of the iceberg, but █▌
▐█ what you get are some powerfully creative tunes that are worth █▌
▐█ sifting through." - Readyset...Aesthetic █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "This compilation does exactly what compilation are supposed to █▌
▐█ do...introduce you to new bands. The Emo Dairies Chapter Five █▌
▐█ fills you with a fluidity like passion that stirs in your █▌
▐█ stomach and attempts to leap out of your throat." - Wonka Vision █▌
▐█ █▌
▐█ "In my humble opinion these compilations are the best around. █▌
▐█ All unreleased tracks from the likes of The White Octave, █▌
▐█ Sunfactor, Cast Aside and The Walt Lariat. This is really worth █▌
▐█ investing some money in, as they really are top quality. What █▌
▐█ else would you expect from the ever dependable Deep Elm?" - Mass █▌
