2.0 poor | LifeAsAChipmunk | June 12th 12 | I'm not really sure what's up with all these high scores. I've never heard of their older (and supposedly better) work but I'm well aware that these guys are considered pop punk legends. The opener "Circuit and Wires" is incredibly underwhelming with a weak chorus and absolutely nothing special about it. Many of the other songs are not too different than the opener but at least "Timelines" has an incredible delivery and tangible emotion. "Everyone Will Die" is surprisingly optimistic and beautiful. The lyrics are actually pretty good but the vocals are odd yet seemingly flimsy and nondescript. Recommended tracks: Timelines, Everyone Will Die

4.0 excellent | 3waycrash | September 4th 16 | My second favorite album from Motion City Soundtrack behind My Dinosaur Life. While Go is not as snappy as MDL was, the band still manages to maintain the same level of songwriting here. Instead of being in your face all the time with densely-packed songs, the album has a sense of levity with somewhat lighter moments. This allows for more room for the songs to breathe and to have a punch when needed. The band also "experiment" a small bit with different sounds rather than the usual guitar + synth riff songs. While it may not have the same defining moments and songs from their earlier material, this album is more consistently enjoyable throughout with the same quirks and qualities of previous MCS albums.
