I was a much bigger fan of their EP (even though, yes, it sounded like it was recorded under water). Jason leaving the band definitely left a hole they haven't filled yet.
I would recommend it. It is a great CD I feel all the tracks are pretty solid. Before you buy the album you should probably check their myspace out. myspace.com/maydayparade Catchy tunes, good vocals. All the songs on their myspace are really good, and what you can expect on their album. (except Three cheers, which is on the ep, but one of my favorite tracks.)
