X-Posed (Interview) - Fall Out Boy

Advantages: Great Track Listing
Disadvantages: -

...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 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. 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... Read review

Advantages: Amazing pop punk, Highly Catchy, Great lyrics, Comical band
Disadvantages: Some may be critical of this CDs high production values

...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.

The other day I reviewed a 5 track sampler of the album, in which I said that if that was anything to judge by then their album was to be 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... Read review

Advantages: pop-punk at it's best
Disadvantages: a little 'same-y'

...Fall Out 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 used post-hardcore influences in this album, the banging drums show 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... Read review
