About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Midtown's second album and major label debut Living Well Is the Best Revenge picks up more or less where Save the World, Lose the Girl left off, delivering plenty of revved-up, melodic punk-pop. Until the garage rock revival took off, this type of rock seemed to be the only alternative to nu-metal for anyone looking for guitar-driven music. Punk-pop just doesn't

sound quite as fresh as it did in the late '90s, and Living Well Is the Best Revenge's major label sheen adds to the album's slightly dated, constrained sound. However, as far as punk-pop goes, this is an expertly put together collection of songs; tracks like "Become What You Hate," "Get It Together," and "Like a Movie" mix appealingly big, crunchy riffs, close harmonies, and catchy hooks, and the group stretches their range a bit with the ballad "Perfect" and the slightly more aggressive "A Faulty Foundation." Punk-pop diehards will find a lot to like on Living Well Is the Best Revenge, but fans of more adventurous rock might want to look elsewhere. Heather Phares, All Music Guide

July 17, 2003: Midtown themselves are amazing artists. For those who don’t know, their music is a punk rock/pop/emo sound similar to artists like Simple Plan, Sum 41 and Blink 182. So, you’re probably thinking, ‘well, why don’t I just get one of those other groups’ albums.’ Midtown may have a similar sound, but on closer inspection you’ll see that their lyrics set them apart. They aren’t whinny little boys complaining about girls. Instead, their lyrics seem well thought out. The music may still be about love, but in a deeper and more meaningful sense. While Living Well is the Best Revenge has some harder and darker sounds than Midtown’s previous album, overall it has a happy sound to it (even though lyrics are a bit more serious). If you get this album you’ll love it. Not a single song isn’t praiseworthy.

March 03, 2003: Living well is the best revenge, is full of muscial diversity and all of it is good. Midtown's energy and lyrics make this one of the best CD's I own. There is a song for every mood and emotion. Each song is made in the same fashion but has its own combination of style that make it inetersting to listen trhough the whole CD.
