    Motion City have deftly filled that space between emotional adolescence and responsible adulthood with this set of near-perfect pop. [Oct 2007, p.112]

    The best songs on the new Motion City Soundtrack album arrive like mousetraps, baited and primed and ready to snap.

    I've always loved MCSm and I've got both of their earlier cd's, but this one is definitely my favorite. They've manged to mature and evolve without abandoning their trademark sound and isolating even their most devoted fans.… Expand
