Data Insight

This is where the credits go back to naming people. All eleven tracks list Adam Lazzara, John Nolan, Shaun Cooper, Eddie Reyes and Mark O'Connell, the five-way credit you would expect from a band that had just put its original line-up back together and wanted the paperwork to say so.

The self-titled album, released through Sire and Warner Bros. in June 2011, is the first record from the reunited Tell All Your Friends line-up after John Nolan and Shaun Cooper returned in 2010. It sold 27,000 copies in its first week and charted at number 17 on the Billboard 200.
