Advantages: Great song after great song..... Disadvantages: Not as good as previous FOB albums
...excited for the release of Infinity On High, and bought it the day it came out. It then went straight into my C.D player, all the songs were ripped onto my laptop, and most of them bluetoothed to my phone.
If I’m honest, after listening to the album a first few times, I wasn’t overly impressed. I of course liked it, but it wasn’t as amazing as I’d geared myself up for it to be. Half the problem was probably that I was expecting something so spectacular ...

Advantages: great songs, catchy Disadvantages: quite pop sounding
I previously reviewed Fall Out Boy's last album 'From Under The Cork Tree' but the band have even come a long way since then. At that time they were just getting famous for the song 'Sugar We're Going Down' but now since getting a bit more mainstream and more recognised there aren't really many people who would not know what I mean if I were to say Fall Out Boy. The band from Chicago, started off so unknown touring in a van to get to where they are ...

Advantages: Immense drumming and guitaring. Great diversity. Disadvantages: Couple of weak tracks, but on the whole, amazing.
To be honest I have never been a massively devoted Fall Out Boy fan. I would say I like them, but I never bought their whole albums and listened indefinitely. Riding the 'sugar we're going down' and 'dance, dance' band-wagon was all I could ever put my name down too. So I thought I would be a bit more adventurous this time and round, and try their whole album. I was amazed. A thing I liked about it was that their most famous songs (this ain't a scene, ...

Advantages: so easy to listen to! Disadvantages: -
Ok so after a few months of waiting, anticipating great things from this album, i finally got my hands on a copy!
I particularly enjoyed Fall out boy's previous album 'From Under the Cork Tree' and couldn't wait to see how this one would follow on from it.
Well i was a bit shocked at first, since the sound of this album is distinctly different, but at the same time it was awesome!
I've always been a fan of FOB's pop-punk sound and think that ...

I love Fall Out Boy, and think their three previous albums (Evening Out With Your Girlfriend, Take This To Your Grave and From Under The Cork Tree) are all fantastic.
Infinty On High is definitely a catchy fun one, but might not be as rock as some would like but if you like Fall Out Boys latest singles you will love this album.
I think that out of the four albums, this is the one that is least like the other three. Fall out Boy still regain their ...

Advantages: Very catchy - oozing promises of top ten hits Disadvantages: Could get a little boring after six months or so
...little help from Jay Z, Infinity On High is much less From Under The Cork Tree-esque than you may expect - but somehow, I mean this in a good way. Whilst still maintaining their knack for ingenious hooks and lyrics filled with so much irony it’s just plain brilliant, Fall Out Boy have brought their music to a whole new level, without resorting to cheesy, tacky lines… unlike some other alternative/pop punk bands these days.
Particular songs on ...

Advantages: Reffeshing, alot of great tracks Disadvantages: Some bad links, Some bad songs
This is the first fall out boy album that I have ever listened to. I was aware that he was around since I Heard his odd single on the radio and people talking about him. I was going to get a Ipod for my birthday and wanted some new music since my music collection is a little out dated and weak. I looked at some reviews and asked around I knew that I should get this album.
I got this album put it on and I did not think that it would be as good as ...

Advantages: Catchy Tunes Disadvantages: Old sceptics won't be won over
■The Band■
This is the third studio album recorded by the now very much mainstream band, Fall Out Boy. They are a now well established band typically seen as 'emo' though they have more of a pop and rock sound to them than what is normally seen as emo. The band has just become very popular in the emo scene. Previous studio albums have been 'Take This to Your Grave' which was a small time success giving them the basis to move onto their ...

Quick review of Infinity On High - Fall Out Boy Review ofInfinity On High - Fall Out Boyby
collegegirl777
Any Fall Out Boy fan will love this album. An Amazing album with the new tunes of 'This Aint a Scene' and 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs'. Different from their last ablums crossing emo with tastes of RnB and this one is 10/10, everyone must buy this album. If you have heard Fall Out Boy's 'Under the Cork Tree' Album you haven't heard nothing yet till you've heard this.

Advantages: Great consistency, it is hard to have favourites. Disadvantages: The sheep. Why?
I have to say that I wasn't a huge fan of Fall Out Boy previous to this album, but still a member of the 'sugar we're going down' and 'dance, dance' bandwaggon. So basically I took a bit of risk in buying this, but what a great risk that turned out to be. I have now been converted into a huge Fall Out Boy fan and am proud to say so. All the songs are brilliant, my 3 favourites being in no particular order:
Hum Hallelujah
Im Like a Lawyer With The ...

Advantages: Lots of different material to suit every fan of Fall Out Boy! Disadvantages: Golden - quite a gloomy track!
All of the tracks on this album are good in their own right, my particular favourites being Take Over The Breaks Over and Thnks Fr Th Mmrs. The mellow sounds of Golden are highly contrasted with those presented in tracks such as Thriller, which offer a more 'rock out' effect. Saying this, being a Fall Out Boy fan myself, all of the tracjs are very cleverly devised, in that they can offer different emotions for listeners who are in a certain mood. ...

Advantages: Brilliant mixture of unique tracks Disadvantages: Thnks fr the mmrs
Being a great Fall Out Boy fan, I wouldn't argue that this is their best album, as I believe that all are so equally good. It is clear to see however, that there are a minority of weaker tracks, one of which is their latest release, but that's just personal opinion. Many people have negatively associated this album as a result of its Backstreet Boy-like content, which I'm guessing is presented in, 'I'm Like A Lawyer...(Me and You)' I can see where ...
