Vacation is the sixth full-length album by Bomb the Music Industry!, released on July 26, 2011.[1] It was announced in September 2010.[2]
Much of the music was written while Jeff Rosenstock was on a free trip to Belize,[3] and unlike the band's previous albums, it is "about trying to build a home."[4] In 2015 Rosenstock chose Vacation as his favorite BTMI album.[5]
There are guest contributions from members of Fake Problems, Bayside, Andrew Jackson Jihad, and Good Luck.[3]
