Album Intro：
New York's the Movielife cut their teeth as spiky hardcore upstarts, but with Forty Hour Train Back to Penn, they've evolved into a quality pop-punk band. Crushing tight emo intensity, shout-along choruses, and post-hardcore dynamics into a polished package, they provide a fine example of label Drive-Thru Records' skill at nailing the brightly populist side of modern punk. 'Jamestown' displays the kind of heartfelt emo fury that At the Drive-In specialized in; the song chronicles a recent van crash that left frontman Vinnie Carusa 'bruised and broken' and gives the album its name. Elsewhere, emotional pain drives Carusa's lyrics. 'Face and Kneecaps' deals with a relationship nearing the end, while 'Kelly’s Song' strikes a strong chord with the line: 'When Kelly cries / The makeup runs from her eyes / Spilling the truth / Of how she feels inside.' This is a band that plays to its strengths. --Louis Pattison
