It hasn't been a wasy road for lead singer of Jack's Mannequin (Andrew McMahon). He was diagnosed with ALL (Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia) just after finished their debut album "Everything In Transit". Once I heard about all of the very positive reviews. I was very curious. And yes it is as good as some say.
It seems like the band has perfected the art of piano-rock. Especially catchy chorus' which is never a bad thing. Some of the album even sounds like Death Cab for Cutie. But even better.
Some may not like their type of music. But give it a chance. It really is something beautiful to hear. (Choice Cuts: "Spinning", "Crashin" and "American Love")
Rating: 90/100 (An album that tugs at you and never lets go)
