When starting to listen to any one of their songs, it’s instantly recognizable that these men have an ear for infectious melodies and catchy choruses. The thing that brings this entire package to a close is the excessive use of auto-tune. Lead singer Nick Esposito uses the tool almost perfectly; he isn’t using it to make his voice better, but to add an effect to his music. That is the right way to pull off auto-tune: for sheer effect, not for corrections.

Although some of the band’s songs come off as a bit morose in their lyrics, such as in “The Last Song” where Nick Esposito sings “You sleep with your heart broken / Both eyes shut and no words spoken.” These lyrics normally come off as the beginning of a bad Good Charlotte song, but due to the electronic glitches and the dancey rhythms, it’s hard to feel sad when the music feels so good.

This is where the band’s greatest strength comes into play: every single song on the album feels good; you can’t help but smile, or feel like singing along to the catchy sounds the record presents. This band has created the best summer-listening album possible, where every song makes you feel upbeat, and doesn’t let you feel like coming down. Something also impressive about the album is the quality of production: even though it was a self-produced album, Making a Scene sounds as if it was done in a large professional studio paid for by a major label.

Pieces
The Title Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've got this piece of you I'm holding onto
I think that it's all I can do
To keep me strong while I'm trying to wind through
The places I'll look till I find you
You've got a piece of me there to remind you
No matter what space or time do
So I'll be here when one day you decide you
Can see if it's me in your heart too

Some things are different now but some haven't changed
Like me still feeling the same
I hear some whispers now of some other name
I know that feeling is strange

I said oh no no don't tell me that
Tell me you let it go
Cause you know know know there is more to that
And I'm just letting it show

I know this time has made it harder to see
But I still see you with me
So now we only have to start to believe
Remember what we could be

So you should know if you feel alone
And you're near a phone you should call me

Cause I'm up all night long writing all these songs
Till the lights go on in the morning
