There is some truth in what Motion City Soundtrack say. Plenty, in fact. It's ridiculously easy to relate to the offbeat musings of Justin Pierre, especially considering it's even easier to write him and his band off as a bunch of sensitive science-class geeks making songs that most bands could only dream of writing. The vocal production on this record was deliberately left a lot more raw than on the band's first three full-length albums, and this adds to the slightly quirky take on honesty that makes Motion City Soundtrack so appealing to anyone who likes their music ballsy without taking it too far and having beatdowns, or whatever the kids are calling them these days.

This song doesn't exactly sum up the record - so you'd better give the whole thing a spin - but it's my favourite and the first one to trigger a blog post.
