rdf:langString Leaving Through the Window is the second studio album and major-label debut by rock band Something Corporate. Following the success of the Drive-Thru Records-released Audioboxer (2001) EP, the band signed to their label distributor MCA Records in late 2001 after the EP caught their attention. The three-month recording process for Leaving Through the Window took place in studios across California and Florida, with Jim Wirt acting as producer. A few songs from previous releases were re-recorded for inclusion on the album; the material was anywhere from three months to three years old. A music video was made for "If You C Jordan" in early 2002; the group then embarked on a three-month long US tour. After the tour, Leaving Through the Window was released jointly by Drive-Thru and MCA Records on May 21. The band performed on the Warped Tour in 2002 and supported New Found Glory once on a European trek and again on a US tour through to the end of the year. A DVD single that featured music videos for "I Woke Up in a Car" and "If You C Jordan" was released during the US leg. They co-headlined a three-month US tour with the Juliana Theory, which coincided with the release of a music video for "Punk Rock Princess". It was released as a UK single in early March and was promoted with a tour there; at the end of the month, "If You C Jordan" was released as a single. Leaving Through the Window sold 12,000 copies in its first week, charting at number 101 on the Billboard 200 chart in the process. It appeared on another Billboard chart, Heatseekers Albums, where it reached number one. "Punk Rock Princess" and "If You C Jordan" had some success: "If You C Jordan" charted at number 29 on Billboard's Alternative Songs chart and number 68 in the UK; "Punk Rock Princess" charted only in the UK at number 33. As of mid-2005, the album's sales stood at 291,000 copies. The record received a mixed reception from critics, with negative comments on its length and frontman Andrew McMahon's vocals, and positive comments about his musicianship.
