Released in August 2006, the self-titled debut "Boys Like Girls" was a masterclass in radio-ready emo-pop. While MP3s of this era often sound thin and compressed, the FLAC version reveals the depth of the twin-guitar attacks and Martin Johnson’s distinctive vocal range. The album is anchored by "The Great Escape," a high-octane anthem that peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100.
