And they begin the disc with something that is found throughout the disc...a title that is probably an inside joke. Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued is far and away one of the longest song titles out there right now, but, then again, so are a lot of the titles on this disc. And many of these songs are similar in other ways as well. On this track, the band manages to mix a very emo vibe (including relatively cryptic references to slitting your wrists) that lead directly into choruses that are meant to make you have a good time. It's a really strange mix, for lack of a better term. And, on this track, it works.
It also works on tracks like I Slept With Someone In Fall Out Boy And All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me and Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends. The former is a complete satire of the band. The latter is yet another title that'll make you think for a second (But hopefully you will notice the simple fact that "sham" and "real" are switched in each phrase ("champagne" (sham pain) and "real pain"). Both songs work decently musically and lyrically with no major issues.
Other tracks do not fare so well. Get Busy Living Or Get Busy Dying (Do Your Part To Save The Scene And Stop Going To Shows) and Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner just seem a bit out of place on this disc. Musically, they're a step above Dance, Dance, but they're simply not to par with the rest of the songs.
On the other hand, A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me" and the lead single from the disc, Sugar, We're Going Down, manage to climb a few steps above the rest of the disc. Sugar is definitely the best track on the disc and was certainly a perfect choice for a single to get buzz about this disc going. Musically and lyrically these two songs beat out the rest of the disc (though, lyrically, that really isn't saying all that much). Dance Dance is one of those tracks that can be very grinding on the nerves at first, but could become one of your favorites if you give it a chance.
Overall, this is a pretty iffy disc. If you're a fan of New Found Glory type music, you might very well enjoy this disc. If you don't like the pop/rock sound that's almost crossing the line to simply pop, you probably won't enjoy this disc. If you're looking for something with any lyrical substance at all, look anywhere else but here. The lyrics are at times unbearably empty. The saving grace of this disc seems to be the lead single. Aside from one or two other tracks, it's just not worth the money.
