\"\"Modern Baseball<\/strong>\u2019s \u2018Sports\u2019<\/em> has been a mainstay on my iPod\/Laptop\/Phone\/Turntable\/Wherever-I-could-play-it for the last 12 months. I love that record in a way I\u2019ve loved few others. Thus, the anticipation of the follow up was much so that after \u2018You\u2019re Gonna Miss It All\u2019<\/em> arrived in my inbox I didn\u2019t listen to it for two days. Then, having forced myself to hit play, I didn\u2019t listen to anything else for the next four.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a masterpiece. How\u2019s that for cutting to the chase? Somehow every track feels connected. Perhaps it\u2019s Modern Baseball<\/strong>\u2019s relatively unique pop\/punk\/emo\/indie sound that allows this record to feel like one experience rather than twelve separate tracks. Perhaps it\u2019s that each track is so utterly on point that leaves me desperately clinging them as they pour out from the speakers and straight into my god damned soul.<\/p>\n

On the majority of reviews I write I find myself picking a few songs and talking about them for a couple of sentences, maybe a paragraph. Picking out the best songs, maybe writing something about anything outstandingly poor. I can\u2019t do that to this album. The chorus of \u2018Broken Cash Machine\u2019<\/em> \u2013 not even the first time in that particular track I find myself astounded (“The sun explodes. We die. The world ends.\u201d <\/em> – Incase you were wondering). The wonderful lyrics\/guitar of \u2018Apartment\u2019<\/em>, every riff in every song that has ran around in my head since I first heard it; I could write a book about this record and still not fully express my praise.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The first track that was released ahead of the full album, \u2018Your Graduation\u2019<\/em> is magnificent and fully encompasses \u2018You\u2019re Gonna Miss It All\u2019<\/em>: enormous choruses, incredible musicianship, and a truly stunning lyrical ability combined with an implacable ear for melody. Something would be amiss were I not to mention \u2018Going to Bed Now.\u2019 <\/em>The only time I gave a second thought to any track was the first time I heard the first 45 seconds of this one. A soft, walking verse with a story-telling feel had me thinking until it eased into the best chorus of the record and settled all doubts I feel ashamed for having had.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an issue with a relatively short review turnaround that there isn\u2019t time to allow an album of this caliber to settle, and I\u2019m forced to write my raw reaction as I scramble around looking for still missing bits of my blown mind. Ask me to write again in six months and I\u2019m sure I\u2019d rate \u2018You\u2019re Gonna Miss It All\u2019 <\/em>as highly as I do right now. I might just have found a less excitable way to phrase it. That said, I feel the same way about Modern Baseball<\/strong> right now as I did about The Get Up Kids the first time I heard \u2018Something To Write Home About\u2019 <\/em>or The Wonder Years in my horrible first year of University when \u2018The Upsides\u2019<\/em> appeared on Spotify a month early and somehow fixed everything \u2013 and my god can I still go on about those albums.<\/p>\n

All hail Modern Baseball<\/strong>!<\/p>\n
