More Info:

For their new album, Gym Class Heroes teamed up with a number of extraordinary collaborators. In addition to the-Dream, producers include Cool&Dre and longtime friend and collaborator, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy. What's more, The Quilt features special guest contributions from Busta Rhymes, U.K. soul sensation Estelle and the legendary Daryl Hall.

Reviews:

Gym Class Heroes are fun. They cover Lamb of God on the Warped Tour. They turned Jermaine Stewart’s quasi-puritanical "We Don’t Have to Take Our Clothes Off" into a salacious, all-inclusive emo club banger, with help from Fall Out Boy wailer Patrick Stump. And frontman Travis McCoy is so obsessed with ’80s soul hit machine Hall & Oates that he had their visages tattooed on his hands. So it was a bummer when McCoy was recently arrested for mic-slapping a concertgoer (also African-American, oddly) who serenaded him from the front row with a racial epithet. Hopefully, that was just a speed bump—this New York quartet is in no way about to let the fun end. The Dream produced and co-stars on adultery-friendly first single "Cookie Jar," and GCH’s diverse guest lineup includes Stump again (duh), Busta Rhymes (whoa) and none other than… Daryl Hall! What a diverse quilt they weave.
