Zack looks like he has something in his mouth but I am pumped for this album.

More importantly, what's the point of using co-writers on EVERY fucking song on the record?

eh, some people aren't so naturally inclined to write lyrics. if you look on alex's myspace he wrote something that was similiar to weightless, but more... thought provoking? poetic? (along those lines) so they probably took that writing, used a cowriter, and kind of transitioned his writing into pop punk lyrics. lol

Actually, more importantly (and now relevant), what's the point in lying on message boards?

Awe, I am so stoked for this to come out! That asian at the end is great.

the band wrote the majority of the songs in the studio, and the producers def had some input. They just credited them with co-writing credits if anything. Almost every band gets input from the producers and have them help them out here and there, it just isn't always cited.

Was the writing process for this album different from your first?


Actually, the writing process for this album was a lot different. Rather than writing it as a full band I went and wrote the songs with the producers at the time, and then the band came in and we all went over the songs and changed what the band didn't dig and stuff like that. It was a really good time. There's a lot to learn from people who have been doing it for a really long time.


Alex pretty much wrote the songs, got input from the producers, and wrote with the band some more. It isn't like they hired a writer and got them to write a bunch of songs that they didn't have anything to do with.

He just read on AP(Alternative Press) that the reviewer said the band didn't write any of the songs

God I'm stoked for this record. I so saw Portland Maine's venue The Station in that vid. So awesome.

So stoked. I'm definitely going to buy this, but did it leak yet?
