Review/ Update: The Glass Passenger

First off I would like to express the fact that I am completely disappointed in one of my Favorite bands, JACK'S MANNEQUIN, for pushing the release date of their sophomore album. The Glass Passenger, which previously had a release date, set for April 22nd, pushed their album release date to August or September of this year. Personally this fan is highly disappointed in the southern California band considering the band hasn't released an album since August of 2005. This is taking into full consideration that Andrew McMahon had a battle with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, from which he successfully recovered after a bone marrow transplant. But after nearly three years without an album release and almost a year of being in the studio, JM has left their "Passengers" wanting more. This puts an unfair weight on JM's shoulders to create an album that is expected to be of mythical proportion due to the length of time it has spent in talks, the idea of which honestly seems implausible. This especially when being compared to JM's first album "Everything in Transit" a classic that obtained both a steady following and great reviews. At this point, Jack's Mannequin would have to pull another classic out of their hat much like their first release in order to not dissapoint their fans. Does "The Glass Passenger" have the ability to leave fans in awe and completely forgetting the wait that they made to purchase this album? The answer to this question will be found in August or september, in hopes that the date isn't pushed back another time.
