Great music.

FYI, my mac computer (iMac running Leopard, purchased Nov'07) had a real problem ejecting this cd. (I did successfully add the music to iTunes). There is some video file on the disc that confused the computer. I've imported over a thousand music cd's into this computer, this is the first one that had such a problem.

I ended up needing to power off the mac, and then power back on while holding the eject button. CD popped out.

Great music, though.

was recommended to me by roommate but i did not enjoy this. sounds too emo i think.

This album is the way Motion City is supposed to sound. it's a perfect display of their Minnesota emo-scene influence. Their best album by far. If you have the other albums and not this one, you must get it!!!

How often do you see rock albums that have all stars? I don't mean my own rating, but at the time I am writing this MCS I am the Movie has a perfect review, and there's some meaning to that.
MCS is a totally new sound, creativity, and engaging style that is FINALLY breathing some new life into rock bands. Rock bands are a dime a dozen, and every one of them thinks they have what it takes- but the problem is they all sound the same, and most are not pushing forward with a new sound,but copycating all the old bands we love. This CD is a totally new experience and fun, and in the tradition of old rock with a new flair....Wait can you say the word flair in a rock album review? This CD has something that most everyone will like. Very good quality music, songs, and sound.

Motion City soundtrack is a band that never fails to impress me, no matter how many times I hear each song. They get better with each listen, rather than becoming tired and overdone. I would reccomend this cd to almost anyone. The album doesnt have abad song on it.

"Cambridge"- 7/10- Good first track, but not perfect. Catchy without being too poppy, and with a slight edge.

"Shiver"- 10/10- Amazing song. Definately in my top 3 MCS songs of all time. Once again catchy without being too poppy, and it has a great chorus and interesting lyrics.

"The Future Freaks Me Out"- 9/10- This song is the big hit. Yes it is catchy and an interesting song as well, but there are better songs on the disc. But make no mistake, this is still a very good song.

"Indoor Living"- 9/10- Good song, slow intro that builds into a great chorus. This song keeps the vibe going, and is one of the better tracks.

"My Favorite Accident"- 10/10- Another Great song. Catchy, fast, intriguing lyrics, and a great sing a long chorus.

"Perfect Teeth"- 10/10- The great songs keep coming with this track. Perfect soundtrack to highschool life in general, a fun song with good drums.

"Boombox Generation"- 9/10- Great song- this is a perfect example of what MCS is- Pop-punk with a slight edge, some of which was lost after this album (not to say 'Commite...' isnt a great album, just different).

"Dont Call it a Comeback"- 7/10- a Faster song, good intro, but overall not one of my favs on the cd. Slightly heavier than the rest. Still a well done song.

"Modern Chemistry"- 8/10- Good song, more emotional than the others. But not as good as...

"Capital H"- 10/10- What a great song. What can be said? Some songs are just amazing. Great lyrics, nice music, good drums(as always), and one of the best sing-a-long choruses they have ever achieved.

"Red Dress"- 8/10- Good song. Quick, catchy, and a fun. Another nice effort by MCS.

"Mary Without Sound"- 9/10- Another somewhat edgy song. Faster intro. Emotional, and well executed, this song works well towards the end of the record.

"Autographs and Apologies"- 8/10- Good pre-closer song, slow and well written, this song is not one of my favorites, but is still good.

"A-Ok"- 9/10- A risky closer, this song works. Although "Autographs and Apoligies" seems a more obvious choice for the closer, this song sounds similar to the rest of the record, but has a tone of finality to it, partly aided by the lyrics, and partly by the music, which conveys a bitter attitude towards the subject.

Overall just a superb record. Slightly edgier than the follow up, but I still have a hard time choosing a favorite. I would reccomend both cds. MCS is simply an amazing band.
