Cobra Starship: ¡Viva La Cobra!

Cobra Starship: ¡Viva La Cobra! Midtown's last album Forget What You Know was released in June of 2004. Shortly after they disbanded and lead singer Gabe Saporta started Cobra Starship. Viva La Cobra is their sophomore effort. Released on Fall Out Boy's Decaydance label, the type of music should not be a surprise to anyone. I must admit I was a fan of Midtown's first two albums. They created brilliant power pop with air tight harmonies. Cobra Starship is a little less like Midtown and more like Head Automatica. They use a lot of synthesizers and electronic beats. They also mix in hip hop elements not unlike their label mates Gym Class Heroes. I'm sure for high schoolers in tight pants and thrift store track jackets, this album will be the party album of the year. For me, I'm sure I would dance to it at a party but this isn't something I'm gonna jam to in my car. I have to say I like this than a lot of the other stuff released on Decaydance.
