Played in Space - Something Corporate

This was my favorite band in college.  Now they have this compilation album, which seems a little weird since they've only released two full length albums.  In the meantime, Andrew McMahon has been working on his solo project, Jack's Mannequin, and battling leukemia.  Both bands have a great sound.  McMahon hit the keys with the same passion in his voice and songs are melodically well put together.  This album features remakes of songs that were a little raw when they were first leaked on the internet or unofficially released.  Some of these songs including "Wait" and "Letters to Noelle" were my favorites.  Its maybe better to buy this album on Itunes since that is the only way to get "Letters to Noelle" and then go back and buy the rest of the songs on North and Leaving Through the Window.  Ultimately it is the second disc of the set that makes it worth buying.  "Watch the Sky" and "Konstantine" finally make it on an album, where they belong.  It's very exciting that Something Corporate is back on tour, although with very limited dates, but I'm eagerly awaiting new songs from either this band, even with new members, or Jack's Mannequin.
