Writing and development

After Owl City's previous album, All Things Bright and Beautiful (2011), sold 143,000 copies in the United States, Adam Young began working on demo tracks for The Midsummer Station in January 2012. [3] Unlike his previous albums, Young worked with different songwriters and producers for the first time, including Stargate and Emily Wright. [3] However, Young again collaborated with Matthew Thiessen for his third album in a row along with Ocean Eyes and All Things Bright and Beautiful . Young was initially scared of the thought of collaborating with others, "I've never worked with anybody before. I've done everything myself except for mastering. It's a big job for one guy, especially a perfectionist, so I knew I wanted to try to experiment with other people." [3] The song "Dementia", which features Blink-182 singer Mark Hoppus, was mixed by Chris Lord-Alge. [4] During the All Things Bright and Beautiful Tour in 2011, Young performed a new song entitled "I Hope You Think of Me", a track he was unsure would make the final track listing on the album. [5] The song eventually appeared on his 2013 acoustic EP, The Midsummer Station - Acoustic . [6]

On May 15, 2012, Young released the Shooting Star extended play, which consisted of four songs that would be featured on The Midsummer Station. Many criticized the EP, saying it was very different from Young's previous works. On his blog, Young defended his choice for the new sound of the extended play and the album, stating that he believes "it's a bummer for an artist of any kind to hear, 'Yeah it's great but it's a lot like your previous work.' (...) Creativity is all about pushing boundaries and pressing onward". [7] In an interview with PureVolume, Young stated that the tracks on this record are much darker, with more influence of his own dreams, nightmares and self-reflection. [8]

The album was originally planned to have a release date of August 14, 2012, worldwide, apart from the United Kingdom where it would be released on September 17, 2012. [9] On June 21, 2012, it was announced that the worldwide release date would be pushed back to August 21, 2012, "due to some exciting developments," according to Young. [10] On July 12, 2012, Young announced that the UK release date would be brought forward to August 20, 2012. [11] The album was released on August 17 in other countries including Australia. [12]

Artwork

The artwork was created by Gediminas Pranckevicius in 2009. Pranckevicius' artwork often explores the struggle between man and nature by combining man-made structures with flora and fauna, all coexisting in a forced, urban manner. In Time, there are multiple juxtapositions at work. Beneath the surface is the vertical, wooden shantytown, neatly residing next to a vertical lake in which a very large fish swims. The shanty is illuminated, detailed and clear. By contrast, the waters are dark and murky. Above the busy shanty town is a solitary tree on a serene grassland and a solitary man in a boat on the lake. Everything surrounding the shanty is simple and peaceful. The shanty, though great to look at, is chaotic and saturated. It is only a matter of time before the human settlement expands above the surface or invades the water.

Around February–March 2012, Young discovered the artwork while browsing Tumblr and e-mailed his manager to assist in tracking down the original artist. After a short discussion regarding the usage of the artwork, Pranckevicius allowed Young to use the artwork on the front cover of the album.

Release

Singles

The EP's title track, "Shooting Star" was released on May 15, 2012. [13] The song was intended to be the lead single from The Midsummer Station, but the Carly Rae Jepsen collaboration "Good Time" was chosen instead, due to the success of Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe". [3]

"Good Time" was released on June 26, 2012. [14] The song was met with commercial success peaking at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100. [15] The song reached No. 1 in Canada, New Zealand and South Korea. [16] [17] [18] The song was certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA in December 2012. [19]

Promotional singles

"I'm Coming After You" was released as the first promotional single from the album on August 13, 2012. [20] The song was made available for streaming via Seventeen magazine. [21]

On August 20, 2012, "Metropolis" was made available for streaming through Idolator as the second promotional single from the album. [22]

The album received mixed reviews from music critics upon its release. As of December 9, 2013, the album received an average score of 52 based on 11 reviews at Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, which indicates "mixed or average reviews". [23] Fred Thomas of AllMusic gave a mixed review on the album. He stated that the album, "is the most transparent bid for mainstream airplay imaginable, with each of its 11 tracks so tailored for pop radio, teen movie soundtracks, and soft drink commercials." He criticized the album for how "recycled" it feels. However, he praised the songs, "Metropolis" and "Dementia" as one of the album's redeeming tracks. [24] Scott Fryberger of Jesus Freak Hideout also gave a mixed review criticizing the first track "Dreams and Disasters" as "empty and bland." He did however complimented the songs "I'm Coming After You" and "Speed of Love" as "the better tracks" musically. He ended off calling the album "a severe misstep" for Owl City. [28] Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone gave a negative review remarking that, "he delivers universally annoying synth-pop pep talks" on the tracks "Shooting Star" and "Dreams and Disasters". [30] Nekesa Mumbi Moody of the Associated Press stated that the album "sounds like the soundtrack for one of those Nickelodeon or Disney TV movies you either enjoyed as a tween or endured as an adult." She called the tracks "generic," and are "formulaic and forgettable." [33]

Glenn Gamboa of Newsday gave a positive review for the album calling it a "streamlined dance pop" album that is "deceptively simple." [29] Alternative Press also gave a positive review stating, "Almost half of the album is bolstered by huge beats and pulsating bass. Even so, the disc's best tracks are the ones that don't employ this formula." [23] The A.V. Club stated that the album is "paired with a more expansive, diverse sound." [26] Billboard stated, "Young oozes frothy positivity through the urgent thump of 'Dreams and Disasters', the energetic bounce of the Stargate-produced single 'Shooting Star', the stuttering chorus of 'Gold' and the effervescent sweep of 'Metropolis'." They also added, "'I'm Coming After You” and 'Speed of Love' are driven by a more contemporary brand of club thump." [34] Tony Cummings of Cross Rhythms praised the collaboration on "Dementia" stating, "It's something you wouldn't expect would work but with Mr Hopus bellowing across the thudding rhythms it sounds great." He also complimented the track, "Speed of Love" for its lyrics that, "reflects on the transient nature of human existence." [35]
