Data Insight
Jesse Valenzuela writes on ten of the twelve, the highest share any member has on any album. Half the tracks bring in an outside writer, which had not happened before: Danny Wilde produces and co-writes, and the closed writing of the first three albums is gone.
Major Lodge Victory came out on Hybrid in August 2006, ten years after Congratulations I'm Sorry and the first album since the band reformed. It runs 49 minutes across twelve tracks.
