Marcy Playground
John Woz is a smooth singer, the lyrics are thoughtful and the music just feels good. These guys are an awesome band, their first two records are some of my favorite music. . . Nick.


Another Masterpiece!
You can't really find sound like this with any other band. This is another album full of fresh and original sound. Wozniak has a phenomenal voice, full of charm and longing and a relaxation. If you enjoyed Shapeshifter (I don't know how you couldn't), you will love Mp3. The sound is quite a bit different from their first album, but it has a larger scope in the style, I feel. Every track has a place.


Wish they had more coming...
MP3 is a great album. . if you like Marcy Playground. Fortunately, they are one of my all-time favorites. Way cool sound, nice mix of electric and acoustic and subjects that everyone relates to at one point or another in their lives. John Wozniak is a musical genius! "Jesse Went To War" is probably my favorite track on this album. . . not just for the lyrical content, but for the music behind John as well. So far, John Wozniak is working to release a solo effort of sorts, so I think that's the metamorphasis of MP for us fans still playing these albums over and over again. I had this album on my old HD and just had to buy it again since the crash. . . start every good collection with MP!MP3.


MP3 ROCKS!
The album is creative, poetic and grooooooves!!!! I have sinced listened to the previous albums and they are quite different. MP3 is my first Marcy album. Maybe Marcy grew up a little more in this one??.


Lame. Trite. Unoriginal. Cliched. But Alphabet Soup was good.
MP3, as a whole, stinks. Being a longtime fan, and after waiting for 5 years for this album to come out, I was expecting something good, not as great as the first two albums, but good. This nowere near as good as the 1st 2 albums, and it isnt even that good when compared to other music besides previous marcy playground CDs. Summary:

1. Spoonfed
Annoying and stupid. "Spoonfed mush and jam / Spoonfed peas and ham" ??? How retarded is that? These lyrics are terrble and dont say anything.

2. Blood in the Alphabet Soup
Good song. This is why I gave this 2 stars instead of just 1.

3. No One's Boy.
Stupid and annoying. How many good songs talk about wet dreams and jerking off, anyway? Not many, that's how many.

4. I cant remember the name of this one
This one is stupid, too. It has a nice beat, but the whole rock-god thing is dumb. THis band had 1 hit and they think they're all that.

5. Rock n Roll Heroes
This is the worst song on the whole album cause its annoying. Dumb lyrics, annoying, and its sounds like something that a 13 year old grrl would like.

6. Jesse Went to War
Touchy-feely rubbish. Get over it, man.

7. Flag and Finger
Another song that is almost good but not really cause its annoying. Whats with the "shove it where the sun dont shine" lyrics? Is that not the cheesiest stupidest lyrics in the world? I think so.

8. Deadly Handsome Man
More stupid lyrics. "Deadly, bruce lee, deadly handsome man" ? This reminds me of when Barenaked LAdies sang the song One Week and talked about Aqua Man. LAME.

9. Punk Rock Suptertar
I like this song.

10. Paper Dolls
This is lame cause they put 3 up-tempo songs in a row. Good energy, but childish and boring.

11. Death of a Chearleader
This is dumb and overly emotional. The violins are lame. Does Wozniak (it's JOHN not STEVe) he's gone all green day ala time of your life or somethin? Just dumb.

12. Brand New Day
Not bad, not great.

13. Sleepy Eyes
Boo hoo hoo your girlfriend left you. Need a hanky, ya baby? Rilly, though, havent we herd enough songs abot breakups?

14. Barfly
Ohhh isnt he cool he's a barfly guy or whatever. That joke at the end is messed up.
