Five Score and Seven Years Ago

Polished piano-rock and intricate vocal harmonies meet existential searching. A transition from pop-punk energy to ambitious, narrative-driven alternative rock.

March 6, 2007 · Capitol Records

A bright, polished exterior masking deep, bittersweet reflections on grace and growth.

Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden transition from the pristine barbershop harmonies of the intro into the driving guitar riff of track two.

The way the eleven-minute finale 'Deathbed' shifts through multiple musical movements to tell a complete life story.

The twelve-second joke track 'Crayons Can Melt on Us for All I Care' providing a brief moment of levity before the heavy closing stretch.
