Just when you think these pop-punk kids are never gonna grow up, Motion City Soundtrack supply the reality check. The Minneapolis quintet enlisted production and composition help for their third full-length from a squad of all-star veterans: Fountains of Wayne mainman Adam Schlesinger, Girls Against Boys lothario Eli Janney and the ultimate pop-rock god, Ric Ocasek. The resulting LP is a perky combination of all three, naturally, combined with MCS' own signature chug.
