Some fortunate early tours with Blink-182 led the Minneapolis emo-pop-punk band Motion City Soundtrack to collaborations with Mark Hoppus, who produced their second album, 2005’s Commit This to Memory, as well as their latest record, My Dinosaur Life. Suggesting a heavier version of blue album/Pinkerton-era Weezer, the new album has earned Motion City Soundtrack some of the strongest reviews of their career. It’s also been a commercial success, working its way up to No. 15 on the Billboard 200 chart.
