Emancipation Day, like most debut albums, was the culmination of years of touring in small vans, playing small shows to small audiences and independently releasing EP's and singles. Emancipation Day succeeded in capturing the essence of the band - this is classic rock, with stone-age guitars, blue-sky melodies and an earth-shifting rhythm section.
In 2005 having already scrapped a previous attempt of the album recorded earlier that year, the band were struggling to survive. But in December, determined to make an album, they reconvened with old studio compadre Paul Burton and work started at his studio G2 in Littlehampton, UK. It seems that the Burton/Cruz combination was meant to be and Metal Hammer praised the album; "Emancipation Day is a fully formed rock opus: 44 minutes of great hard rock songs fired into consciousness. There is definitely something satisfying and filling about Emancipation Day, like suet pudding." Classic Rock said, "This is modern, meaningful rock music, with stadium-sized riffs and serious messages."
