I've been spinning From Under The Cork Tree and have been thinking the same things. Such a superbly executed piece of pop. "The Music Or The Misery" should have been included as more than just a b-side though. That song fit far too well with the rest and was one of the highlights of the album.

So weird since I just revisited this album yesterday. One of the best released from the scene by far. In my opinion it's actually the best FOB release, even though TTTYG is a solid album. Lyrically it was just spot on. I remember getting it when it was first released and just spinning it all the time and never, ever, getting sick of it. I never got into the later releases and wasn't so sad to see FOB disband.. but this album always reminds me of how good a pop punk album could be. This is what other bands need to aspire too, such a cornerstone of the scene.
