“And today was a day just like any other…”
…until I played my new Jack’s Mannequin CD. Jack’s Mannequin is the brainchild of Something Corporate front man Andrew McMahon. The much anticipated release, Everything In Transit released on August 23, 2005 on Maverick Records has been teasing listeners with demos and Warped Tour tents and pre-sales since early this year. Fueled by Andrew’s recent diagnosis of Acute Lymphatic Leukemia an outreach of support from fans and fellow artists alike sent Andrew’s mission skyrocketing.
Not to mention the sheer beauty of the album itself. I waited a full four days past to release date to receive my copy in the mail. But it was well worth the wait. The piano-driven melodies work their way into your head and into your feet as you can’t help but tap (or dance in my case) to the music. And Andrew’s wonderful imagery in his lyrics just give the album an aura all of its own.

The first two tracks, Holiday From Real and The Mixed Tape along with Track 10 MFEO were available for listen/download on JM’s MySpace, purevolume, iTunes, and pretty much everywhere else you could think of. MFEO (Made For Each Other) is actually two songs, Part 1: Made For Each Other and Part 2: You Can Breathe crammed into one track, which I didn’t understand but went along with anyway.
The dialogue found throughout the album between tracks and as white noise, juxtaposed to a smooth melody, provide for an interesting negative space with the music. Andrew sounds as if he’s offering up his advice or his wisdom, of which I happen to agree. Just before Track 4 I’m Ready, Andrew chimes in with “And today was a day just like any other.” The song itself is filled with dialogue that inspires and piques the imagination. Andrew preaches, “I put on the same clothes I wore yesterday. When did society decide that we must wash a t-shirt after each individual use. If it’s not dirty, I’m gonna wear it,” a philosophy I’ve lived by, myself, for years now. “My life has become a boring pop song and everyone is singing along,” Andrew exclaims. He’s right, we are all singing along by this point. And there’s still 8 more songs left on the CD. And not a single one of them are boring.
I find it hard to feature one or a few tracks because each has is entitled to something more than a blurb to do the album any justice at all.
Standout Tracks: “Holiday From Real”, “The Mixed Tape”, “I’m Ready”, “Kill the Messenger”.
