Review for Jack's Mannequin

Jack's Mannequin is from Orange County, California and although the city they come from is massive they don't let their music get lost in all of the bands that have blossomed out of that city. Their alternative rock genre has had there ups and downs over they years and annually participates in "The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk". Remaining to have a positive attitude after their lead singer Andrew McMahon was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, they have put out two albums since the diagnosis, "Everything in Transit" and "The Glass Passenger".

Everything in Transit, went to number #37 on the Billboard 200. Though the album wasn't a huge success, the album was still very good. It has strong vocals, and most of the album is based on McMahon's cancer. It got positive reviews from Maverick Records and has now singed a deal with them. Although the album is only 45:33 minutes long, it is filled with songs that has everyone singing and enjoying.

The Glass Passenger, went to #8 on the Billboard 200. This album was a massive success. It sold 49, 000 albums within the first week. It has strong songs such as "Swim", "Spinning" and "Crashin'" McMahon was back in full force on this album and had had ten songs written and started mixing them in December 2008. Maverick Records produced this CD and made a wonderful choice. They put "Jack's Mannequin" on the map and they won't ever being going back.

The top five things I would take if my house was on fire.

The top five things I would take if my house my on fire would be:

1. My Laptop

There are 1800 songs on my laptop. I couldn't stand loosing them. Especially one of my play lists, one of my best friends made me a CD and I can't find it now, the only way I have it is threw my computer.

2. My VHS Grease.

Grease has been my favorite movie since the fifth grade. It has an extended version in the beginning talking with all of the actors and actresses.

3. My shoes

I would definitely grab my shoes. I have twenty-four pairs. So obviously I would have to throw some of them out of the windows because grabbing my five other things and twenty-four pairs of shoes would be quite a task.

4. My cellular telephone

I would grab my phone to keep in contact with my friends and family. I also text quite frequently so I would have to let everyone know that everyone else and I was okay.

5. My dog Cleo.

I would run back into a burning house to save my dog. If it wasn't on fire that would be a complete bonus as well. We have had Cleo since she was a puppy and she is now fourteen years old. She is a fantastic Lapso Apso and I love her very much. I honestly don't know what I would do without my dog.
