They really buried a gem at track 11 for Point of Extinction. Top 10 MCS song for me.

 

That is a pretty solid track NGL

 

Antonia is really good

 

One of my favorite love songs ever. Amazing lyrics on this one.

 

I just listened to I Am the Movie, I'm drunk but I think id rank it 2nd best right now

 

It’s so good

 

Like obviously it’s not polished like the rest of their output but it’s so quirky and moody and fun and sad at the same time

 

"Indoor Living" is undeniable

 

The stretch from Cambridge to Indoor Living is possibly my favorite part of any of their albums

 

And shout out Modern Chemistry too, so underrated

 

Some days I Am The Movie is my favorite due to its post-hardcore-ish undertones here and there.

 

Modern Chemistry is absolutely one of my all time favorite MCS songs. It’s still amazing all these years later.

Also yeah; I Am The Movie is absolutely my 2nd favorite release of theirs right behind Commit This To Memory

 

!!!!

 

I never got the hype around cassettes making a comeback.

Does it sound just as good as vinyl? Genuinely asking.

 

Yeah what're y'all playing cassettes on. Idk that I have a way to even listen to a CD anymore.

 

Cassettes sound worse than vinyl, but they're cheap to produce. I really only buy them when it's a tape-only release. I picked up a tape deck at a yard sale for like five dollars years ago and have it hooked up but I hardly ever use it.

 

Collectibles

 

Cassettes are actually the worst quality medium for music. They are sonically worse than CD and vinyl.

I will say that they’ve caught on in terms of collecting again. Riding that vinyl resurgence.

 

Ahhh that make sense. I figured it would be terrible quality and that it’s more for sentimental reasons.

 

i love tapes. put go on tape and i will buy it

 

The teacher across the hall from me is a total 90s head and plays cassette tapes for his students during work time

 

My band’s sold more tapes than anything else I’ve ever tried selling at shows and whatnot. Haha.

Definitely getting IATM and CTTM!

 

Have no interest in cassettes really, but I did see Popaganda on vinyl for the cheapest I've ever seen so I had to snag it lol

 

I think that's a nice collectible item for sure, I do still have my walkman, but I don't by tapes anymore - have some left from the 90s and 00s, maybe got gifted a few by befriended bands over here, that's it. The quality is fine at first, but the cassettes I've got from the old days just sound like total shit now.

 

Sometimes I think the sound of a cassette actually can help.

For example, I’m in a lofi pop punk band, so the lower audio quality of a tape actually fits the aesthetic I’m going for. Old 80s and 90s bands, it feels right to listen to them on cassette too.

But like, I’d never choose to listen to something like Sigur Ros on cassette. That’d be like downloading a 128 kbps MP3 of “Hoppipola.” Makes me shudder. Haha.
