best by a mile.

 

I don't really have anything bad to say about CTTM, but when the topic of favorite MCS record comes up, I tend to go for EIIKM or MDL (more often the former). I just love the tone of EIIKM, and the MDL release was the height of my MCS fandom.

 

I think I lean towards CTTM being my favorite, but I understand it absolutely is to most fans. However, IATM is what got me into the band and I have a certain attachment to that one.

 

I loved those shows. They are such a great live band.

 

EIIM just sounds like their most well-crafted songs to me. It felt like they really knew what they wanted to say and how they wanted to say it.

 

The title track is untouchable

 

I can agree with that. I think "The Conversation" is a career highlight as far as Justin's writing goes. I thought he nailed the storytelling aspect best on this album. "Last Night" is written in such a great steady rise. He gets you to that last chorus of "I can't compete with all your damn ideas" so masterfully that by the time it gets there it packs a very tough punch. And I really do think they earn the closer. The whole album in general builds to that moment of "Yeah, okay, this is it, I'm gonna get better"

 

Last Night is definitely one of my favorite MCS songs

 

Oh totally, The Coversation is A+ and heartbreaking, there is a ton of perfection on that album.

 

the last minute of Calling All Cops is wonderful but the title track is pretty standout as well.

 

Yeah, last night is probably a top 5 mcs song. Up there with even if it kills me, everyone will die, and happy anniversary. Not sure what my fifth would be

 

That first night, ending with one of my favorite songs ever, was so special.

 

there it is:

So Long, Farewell | Motion City Soundtrack

 

Damn, that's upsetting. Can't say I didn't see it coming though, they have been quite leading up to that album and in the months after it. RIP, such an amazing band.

 

This day just became awful

 

:(

 

Nice to see Tony's name on there again. I really hope he does the farewell tour with them. My first MCS show was also their first without Tony, so I've never seen him drum live.

 

How will I break the news to you?

:,(

 

I've cried every time I've seen them play that song. I'll be bawling at the last Chicago show.

 

Never got a chance to see them live. Definitely going out of my way to make sure I see them on this tour.

 

I'll never forget you MCS!!!!!!! Final Tour here I come

 

Crushing news. Damn.

 

You unconscionable bastard.

 

Just saw them last year but might have to go to this if it's convenient. Really good to see Tony's name.

 

Yeah seeing Tony's name there basically cements my need to be at one of these farewell shows
