Commit This to Memory is the second studio album by American pop punk band Motion City Soundtrack. The album was produced by Blink-182 and +44 singer-bassist Mark Hoppus. It was released through Epitaph Records on June 7, 2005.[4] A deluxe edition of the album was released on June 20, 2006, including an additional track and a DVD which contained five music videos, a live show and "Hooray for the Madness," a documentary directed by Shane Nelson. The original release peaked at #72 on the Billboard 200,[5] after leaking months before, just a day after final mixing.[6] The album title comes from a lyric in the song "Hangman".
