"Well, since the only kind of this cd at the store when I bought it was the edited one, I'll happily comment on the edited version.



1. Holiday From Real - First off, this is only one of two songs on this cd that cusses. This is a good one. Great intro. Good bass. Catchy chorus. 9/10



2. The Mixed Tape - First single. Good choice. It has the emotion behind it and hits home with a rocking beat and addicting guitar throughout the whole thing. And as always, the trademark Andrew McMahon piano solo, which in this song reminds me of the one in "Hurricane" by Something Corporate, (Andrew's other band of course.)10/10



3. Bruised - Catchy. Almost a techno beat to it with piano. Very good chorus that stays in your head. 9/10



4. I'm Ready - One of the best songs on the cd. First, the intro is awesome. I've never heard a song begin like that and be so intruiging. Deep lyrics on this one. I love the spoken part that Andrew offers in the middle of it. 10/10



5. La La Lie - I like the lyrics on this one. Very real. You can tell these things really happened to McMahon. And the "la la's" in the back add a good element to it. 9/10



6. Dark Blue - The beginning of this song reminds me of something you'd hear in at a piano recital. Maybe I'm weird, but that's what I thought of right off. Other than that, it's one of the only iffy tracks on the cd for me. Good, not great. 7/10



7. Miss Delaney - This one says the word f--- in it somewhere, thus being edited. Great lyrics. The chorus is interesting and straight forward. 8/10



8. Kill The Messenger - Good one. It's a bit more melancholy and angst-filled. Still has some great piano parts and keeps your ears tuned. I love the part "I'm gonna send the rain your way." It's awesome. Everyone's felt that way to someone. 9/10



9. Rescued - Very very mellow song. This one has some lyrics that tell a good story. The whole mood of the song reminds me of "Ruthless" by Something Corporate. Same mood, although Ruthless is much better. This one still is totally incredible. 9/10



10. MFEO:

Part 1: We Were Made For Each Other - Great stuff. Catchy and a universal collection of feelings that we've all felt to a special someone. And questions all of us have asked ourselves about that perfect relationship. 9/10



Part 2: You Can Breath Now - Favorite part of the album for me. The lyrics are mind-blowing. The piano intro is the better that anything I've heard from Andrew/Something Corporate. Simply a fantastic song. Tommy Lee's drum work is incredible as well on this one. Catchy and meaningful. 10/10



11. Into The Airwaves - Another song I love. The piano in this one is beautiful. And it's a unstoppable chorus. The lyrics and almost cryptic yet are clear as a bell. Very real feeling to this song. 10/10



Overall, 10/10 for the whole CD. This was something I was looking forward to for a long time since the day I heard about Jack's Mannequin. I love Something Corporate. And the very fact that this CD has so much emotion and memory of Andrew McMahon's lukemia fight. Best wishes to him and God bless. Buy this cd. It's a perfect story of the broad spectrum of human emotion."
