From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

...Out Boy got their name from a Simpson's character which doesn't sound like much but they asked the crowd at a show what they should be called, a fan said it and it stuck. The band are made up of four members. they are Patrick Stump, he sings and plays guitar, Pete Wentz bassist and lyricist, Andrew Hurley (Andy mostly), drums and Joe Trohman on guitar. They are out of the Chicago music scene and a few members had been playing in more hardcore bands ...
...an album given good reviews from the critics. Last year they releast From Under The Cork Tree and ever since the release of the single Sugar We're Goin Down have been big in America. So From Under The Cork Tree their latest is still a pop punk type album but with a more mainstream sound. Take This To Your Grave was more real pop punk and I loved it. I don't like this album as much but I do like the fact that every song is so different from the next. ...

Review of From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

...bassist Pete Wentz' humorous ideals from the get-go - "We're only liars, but we're the best (we're the best), We're only good for the latest trends, We're only good cause you can have almost famous friends, Besides, we've got such good fashion sense". Wentz has always been the strength behind the band, lyrically gifted like no other, his mix of humour and self-bashing holds the strength to each and every one of the bands songs since the success of ...
...first single to be released from the record, 'Sugar, We're Going Down' garnered massive airplay in the bands native US, as well as taking up residence on some of London's little known rock stations. A firm favourite amongst fans, it's the epitome of a great punk-rock song - "We're going down, down in an earlier round, And Sugar, we're going down swinging. I'll be your number one with a bullet, A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it". 'From Under ...

Review of From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

...themselves after a minor character from “The Simpsons”. A short while after, I heard a very catchy song on the music channels and, again not knowing who the band was, looked them up on Amazon. It wasn’t until I saw the titles on the album that I realised the bands were one and the same and armed with the knowledge that at least one track was very good and an assurance from my colleague that the rest were just as good, I decided to give the album ...
...line than you would expect from a song of this type and a catchy chorus. This song makes me feel that if Rooster were the next step up from Busted, then Fall Out Boy are the natural next link in that chain. There’s a nice rock guitar riff opening “Of All the Gin Joints in All the World” before the song goes into the same territory of the previous track. It’s another faced paced rock-pop song with a driving riff that blasts past and a chorus that ...

Review of From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy's last full length release was 'Take This To Your Grave,' and although a lot of people liked this album - I was definitely not one to be considered a fan. This album sees the band develop and mature into something far greater than they were back then, and in developing and maturing their sound, Fall Out Boy have produced a truly incredible album. The other day I reviewed a 5 track sampler of the album, in which I said that if that was ...
...truly something special. It really is something special and I am glad to have gotten hold of a copy before its release this coming Monday. There are 13 tracks on display on this new album and not a single one of them disappoints. I had a feeling that the label may have put all the good material on the sampler and then the album was going to have 5 good tracks, with a load of average ones. This is definitely not the case and in 'From Under The Cork ...

Review of From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

...Boy are a pop-punk group. From Under The Cork Tree is their third main-stream release, and follows the vein of so many current bands. If you're looking for upbeat, guitar-centred music, with emo, slightly angsty lyrics, then this is the album for you. Includes the massive hits 'Sugar, we're going down' 'Dance, dance' and 'A little less sixteen candles...'. Each song is melodic, with pleasant guitar riffs, and great vocal talent. Fall Out Boy obviously ...
...this! There are 'emo' influences throughout, particularly in the lyrics. However, Fall Out Boy have thankfully missed a lot of the self-pitying lyrics associated with the genre. There's a lot more metaphor in here than most people realise. For me, the highlights of the album are 'nobody puts baby in the corner' and 'i've got a dark alley...'. There aren't really any filler songs on the album, though i found that i got a litte sick of 'sugar, we're ...

...annoying (although it doesn't detract from the quality of the songs). In brief, an excellent pop punk offering with more than enough heartache and vim to keep fans of the genre interested, with spangly guitars-a-plenty and no song too long that you have to take it as any more than a good fire and forget anthem. Unfortunately I suspect that this release polarised fans somewhat, between the mentalities of 'I liked them better when they were a little ...

Review of From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

This has to be one of the most original and best albums i have ever heard! The lyrics are nothing like anything i have ever heard before. If you like other punk rock bands such as Simple Plan, Green Day and The All American Rejects then this is definately something you need in your music collection. However some of the beats on the tracks do sound repetitive but this is made up for by the originality of the lyrics. they truely are superb! Threre ...

Review of From Under the Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

...this album, the follow up from 'Take This To Your Grave', a mix of really unique songs. An album of catchy lyrics and amazing guitar playing from 'heart throb' Pete Wentz. Alternative rock at its best, and a must have album for anyone who considers themselves having a diverse taste in music. This is one of the very few albums I own that I can listen to the whole way through without skipping a track, with favourites being 'XO' and 'A Little Less 16 ...
