Advantages: A brilliant album feauturing some fantastic Pop Punk anthems Disadvantages: One track fails to impress
Fall Out Boy are an American Pop Punk band hailing from the suburbs of Chicago. Consisting of four members, the band have been going since 2002 and have in this time released three albums and an eight track mini-album. Currently residing on Island Records, their home since 2003 - 'Infinity On High' is the bands third album and saw a commercial release back in the February of 2007. Featuring fourteen tracks (15 including the UK Bonus Track), 'Infinity ... ...date.
I have always had somewhat of a soft spot for Pop Punk, and as such the music of Fall Out Boy is perfect for my liking. It is fantastically fun pop music which is excellent to dance to, and with the exception of a few - the tracks on display on this album are meticulously well created and crafted. Opening with 'Thriller', the album instantly grabs you and garners your full undivided attention. A perfect opening anthem, 'Thriller' features ...

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 ... ...scratch! However, I gave the album a chance, and came to know and love is as much as I do the other Fall Out Boy albums.
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 typical style of lyrics and music, but the album has a different edge to it. When compared to their first album (Evening Out With Your Girlfriend) it’s clear to see how far they’ve come. This album sounds so ...

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 ... ...Patrick Stump (vocals and guitar), Pete Wentz (songwriter and bassist), Joe Trohman (guitarist) and Andy Hurley (drums). The four are a band that I have now liked for quite a while and I have followed them through their career and am glad they are finally getting the recognition they deserve. It's either a love or hate thing with this band, many like me do like them and some are just getting to know them still where as some people liked them at the ...

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, ... ...the ones I listened to the least, which is quite unusual. Therefore meaning to me, that the quality of tracks on this album is so good that they do not need to get buy just on the already famous songs. I love all different sorts of music, but this album pretty much converted me into more punk rocker-ish types of music. I am now proud to say that I am a converted Fall Out Boy fan.

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 their ... ...some.
So this album wasn't quite what i expected, but in other ways it's better!
Track Listing:
THRILLER - feat. Jay-Z this track has an excellent ring to it and makes you want to sing along!
THE TAKE OVER, THE BREAKS OVER - one of my favorite tracks from this album, it has quite a funky rhythm to it and puts you in a fully energetic mood!
THIS AIN'T A SCENE, IT'S AN ARMS RACE - The first single to be released from this new album, showing a ...

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 ... ...a different edge to it.
When compared to their first album (Evening Out With Your Girlfriend) it’s clear to see how far they’ve come. Infinty On High sounds so much more advanced and professional. The general quality of the music is completely different (in a good way) but they still sound like the same Fall Out Boy that all their fans love.
Against their other albums I would say I like this one more, it's hard to compare them as they're so different. ...

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 this ... ...heart out, dance, and throw your arms about like a loon all at the same time, Infinity On High is one of those albums which makes you remember why you love music so much in the first place. Four bright and shining stars out of five - buy this album! ...

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 ... ...how refreshing his music is to listen to. I am still enjoying it right now as I listen to it I was really glad to of bought this album after the dilapidation. The way that the music is played is much different too many other bands that I have listened to in a good way the only bad thing I would say is that there are some bad connections among tracks like their's a track which is really amazing but then after that their's a track which really sucks ...

■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 ... ...started listening to them just before the realease of the second album 'From Under The Cork Tree' just before the explosion of popularity while hearing them from a friend. Their previous album was very pop/rock alternative based and most of the album was quite similar and stuck to the same sort of style in each song. This is not a bad thing as clever lyrics weaved in keep the album interesting.

Advantages: Appealing cover, great band, well known wordwide Disadvantages: The different sound of this album may not appeal to everyone
This album is certainly quite different to "From Under The Cork Tree" but it is different in a good way. I think that they have developed a lot between the two albums and that resulted in the change in their overall sound. These changes are likely to have only made things better for the band by increases their fans and I believe that it was still certainly worth buying. I love the majority of the songs on the album and I believe that anyone who is ... ...rock in general, would probably like "Infinity On High". The cover art is quite interesting because it is an unusual mix of things in a place where they arent expected to be and for this reason, I believe it is more appealing to a wider audience. All in all, a great album! ...

Fall out boy: Infinity on High
This is a brilliant album I love it! Fall out boy are an amazing band have produced some really good work.
Thriller: This song is a great start song and I love the lyrics! The Take Over, Breaks Over: This song has a great video you can see it n you tube just type in the name of the song and who it's by. The dog in the video is so cute I want one. The wat that Patrick sung the lyrics of these songs are amazing I don't ... ...Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race: this was the first song I heard off this album I loved it but it was repeated a lot on the TV so I eventually got bored of it but thankfully its not on much any more so when it comes on I can listen to it with out moaning.
Im like a Lawyer with the Way Im Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You): Great lyrics but I reckon there could be a better tune to it than what there is.

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

The CD is a great buy and value for money. Any punk rocker fan would approve and Im sure anyone in the right frame of mind would be converted. I love the unique sound of Fall Out Boy's singer that fits perfectly with superb guitar and drum backing. Everything down to the lyrics and artwork are brill. Not sure what the sheep is about but who cares... its original. As a matter of fact im listening to this album right now. Recommended ...
