''Ordinary World'' is the second studio album by American band Get Set Go, released on January 17, 2006 through TSR Records. The album marks a shift in sound for the band, going for more of an indie rock approach when compared to the slick pop-punk sound of its predecessor, '' So You've Ruined Your Life''. All of the album's tracks were written during a time in which the band's main songwriter, Michael Torres, was addicted to drugs. Lyrical themes include misanthropy, drugs, alcohol, terrorism, the end of the world, murder, and relationship problems.
