It sounds like watered down MTV crapola. But it's the Get Up Kids playing
complex watered down MTV crapola (with a member of coalesce) and I love
it. Except Mass Pike...that song makes me want to kill people.

If you didn't like the EP, the new album probably doesn't have a whole lot
to offer you. I think it sounds like Weezer (whom I also love).

I saw a band last night with the Get Up Kids who do the old skool emo
thang...watch out for them, they're called Letdown. Apparently they were
together for a while as Phoenix, AZ and then got a new drummer or
something and wrote new songs. That was about a month and a half ago, so
they didn't sound very polished, but they were real good.
I think Christie Front Drive is still keepin it real...At The Drive In for
slightly punkier stuff...And it's a little different, but the new Juno
album is amazing.
