The Get Up Kids - On a Wire (2002)


Something to Write Home About may be the Get Up Kids' most popular release, but their best is this, its follow up; while that album was mostly fun pop-punk, this is a mellow, downkey indie rock/emo album that feels a lot more mature than their earlier material; a lot of fans and critics panned this album because it didn't stick to the formula that the band had set up for themselves, but it was a progression they needed to make, and one that paid off artistically, if not financially; whether or not you're a fan of this band, you should listen to this, because you might hear some things you wouldn't expect
