Pink Slip

Compact Disc
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

The proverbial sophomore, matured, focused effort. If the history books speak fondly of our time on this earth, they will no doubt recount that this, PunkNews.org's #1 Album of 2005, was our most universally acclaimed album. Fourteen songs composed in the midst of a hurricane of divorce, work, death, gentrification, war, sex and W. We still play most of these songs, which means they are still great! Recorded by the greatest human being we know, J. Robbins, at Phase at the end of 2004. A rough year.

lyrics

I've got war on my mind all the time. I'm such a slave to the bottom line. Do you recognize that sound? That's your little white lie breaking down. It's coming back around. Selling us shit, hand over fist, we're sitting ducks and I'm sick of it. Do you really think you know what's up? I'll turn it upside down. I'm a guillotine waiting for the head that wears the crown. (Just don't look down.) Remain oblivious, and rest assured they’ll take our silence as permission. Is it still called "control" when it’s for our own protection?

A pop-punk album full of both angst and maturity. A lot of this album is about growing up, but I've been consistently coming back to this album for over 5 years and it never gets old. evan_burman
