Felony

The term felony, in some common law countries, means a serious crime. The word originates from English common law (from the French medieval word " félonie "), where felonies were originally crimes that involved confiscation of a convicted person's land and goods. Other crimes were called misdemeanors. Many common law countries have now abolished the felony/misdemeanor distinction and replaced it with other distinctions, such as between indictable offences and summary offences. A felony is generally considered a crime of high seriousness, while a misdemeanor is not.

A person convicted in a court of law of a felony crime is known as a felon or convict. In the United States, where the felony/misdemeanor distinction is still widely applied, the federal government defines a felony as a crime punishable by death or imprisonment in excess of one year. If punishable by exactly one year or less, it is classified as a misdemeanor. Note that the actual prison sentence handed out has no effect on this; the decision is based on the maximum sentence possible under law. For example, if a person is sentenced to six months, but the charge can be "up to two years", it counts as a felony, in spite of the actual time served being well under a year. The individual states may differ in this definition, using other categories as seriousness or context.

Felony is the third full-length album by American deathcore band Emmure under the Victory Records label. It was released on August 18th, 2009. The album debuted at #60 on the Billboard Top 200 selling roughly 8,000 copies in its first week. Felony is also the first album to feature new members Mike Mulholland on guitar and Mike Kaabe on drums, replacing founding members Ben and Joe Lionetti, respectively.

Style

The album is the first by Emmure to draw on more of a nu metal influence than their previous albums, evident of more frequent rapped vocals. The band, however, returned to more of their previous sound with the release of Speaker of the Dead, while still keeping elements of nu metal.

Notes

The song title "I <3 EC2" is a reference to the Planet Terror. EC2 is the chemical which is spilled turning everyone into flesh eating zombies.

The song "The Philosophy of Time Travel" is the title to a fictional book from the film, Donnie Darko. The guitar riffs also sound similar to the melody of the song of the same title on the Donnie Darko score. The lyrics of the song also reference the movie heavily.

Space

Space is the boundless three-dimensional extent in which objects and events have relative position and direction. Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum known as spacetime. The concept of space is considered to be of fundamental importance to an understanding of the physical universe. However, disagreement continues between philosophers over whether it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework.
