Motion City Soundtrack is one of the greatest bands on the planet. This is an undeniable fact. What can I say about My Dinosaur Life that every other lesser news outlet hasn’t already said?
Here goes…
When I was a Sophomore in college, Emo was hot… unfortunately. Every band sounded like a whiny, girly, bitch, complete with hook-less melodies and non-sensical lyrics that made Kurt Cobain seem cognizant and clear. I bring this up because I had made the unfortunate blunder of living with a kid that was very into the genre. Every morning at 9 AM sharp, I would awake to the hell of a blaring Saves The Day song.
One day, as I sat at my computer, I heard something strange coming from the other room… Music I actually liked! My roommate had been playing “Indoor Living” on blast, I ran into his room, and we danced around in our boxers like a couple of stupid emo kids. It was the best experience in music ever! Every time Motion City Soundtrack puts out an album, I listen to it for 3-4 weeks straight, causing my friends to hate me, but I don’t care!!!
The whole world should buy a copy of My Dinosaur Life, a catchy, well-crafted album. Now, this album isn’t any better or worse than any other album before it, which means MCS is consistently good, but…
My only complaint is the lack of moog. What the fuck, MCS? Bring back the moog, goddammit!!!!!!
For My Dinosaur Life, I basically agree with these ass-necks below:
