(you only get 1 vote, so choose wisely!)
I'm pretty sure I'm in the minority but I'm going for Even If It Kills Me. I still haven't given IATM many listens though so that could become my favourite in time.

IATM but this is very tough. CTTM and MDL were very solid.

CTTM > IATM > EIKM. Haven't listened to MDL. And since we're doing MCS acronyms, LG FUAD > everything else.

All of them...
Okay, voted for EIIKM and I know I'll be in the minority here. CTTM and IATM are great records too obviously. Still trying to get into My Dinosaur Life.
It was Commit... until I got ahold of My Dinosaur Life. As they grow older, so do I. Therefore it's time to move on from Commit no matter how good it was to me when it came out, and understand how good My Dinosaur Life is for where I'm at in life now.

i never got into this song until a few months ago, and now it's tied for my favorite MCS song (with time turned fragile). everything about it is just completely perfect, I can't believe it took me so long to realize that.
also, CTTM>IAMT>MDL>EIKM, but i still really like EIKM. just not their best work, i don't think.

Don't worry you're not completely alone there.
Though I thoroughly enjoyed every MCS album but I gotta say Even If It Kills Me takes the cake.
It's just beautiful, start to finish.

Commit. No song will ever hit me as hard as "Together We'll Ring In The New Year" did the first time I heard it. It's my all-time favorite song. All three of their other albums are extremely close behind though. They're 4 for 4 with four homers in my book.

ohh i didn't get into them until commit had already came out, make out kids is what got me into them, since it was on the warped tour 2005 compilation album. i didn't actually get into IATM until the last year or so.

Commit This To Memory. I have so many memories tied in with that album, and the nostalgia of listening to it brings me back everytime.
CTTM>IATM>EIIKM=MDL
I enjoyed Even If It Kills Me a hell of alot, it was my favorite for awhile and i never really understood the hate for it. And i really like My Dinosaur Life, but i feel like they've definitely done better, not as many songs struck me as particularly memorable but still an amazing album all in all.

Really? History Lesson is probably my least favorite MCS song ever.
This poll is pretty tough. EIIKM contains my favorite MCS songs (It Had To Be You, Last Night, The Conversation), but I feel like the album isn't consistent. I love CTTM but it's grown old. MDL is still too new to tell if it is my favorite.
So I guess it would go a little something like this:
CTTM>EIIKM>MDL>IATM

That seems to be what every MCS fan is saying.
Since I'm not a fan of them it would make sense I like it so much.

Even if it Kills Me. It's like they're on a bell curve for me. IATM < CTTM < EIKM > MDL. Last Night on EIIKM is absolutely incredible songwriting. It's like an orchestra slowly building into brilliance and then it all comes together so perfectly.
That being said, A-OK on IATM is one of my favorite album enders, and My Favorite Accident is one of the best live songs to be a part of.

Commit this to Memeory is the most amazing album written about modern life. Ever. Every single note echoes something tragic real and meaningful. And if you have ever relied on self medication Justin is your fucking hero. The vocals will never be duplicated again. And the synth is fucking beautiful. I spin that album religiously and every single time I discover more and more things in my existence that relate to that album. Best album ever.
