With their second album, Infinity on High, Fall Out Boy walk a fine line between emo darlings and American rock gods. The clever, angst-ridden outcast lyrics are still there (as on "I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off"), but this time around they display a cockiness that unusual for the scene that gave birth to them. And it's not just in the borderline godlike hubris of album title Infinity on High, it's also present in the surly album-opening statement from Jay-Z ("We dedicate this album to anybody who said we couldn't make it..."). But often, this self-assuredness works to their advantage. Musically, this is a much heavier and punchier album than its predecessor, and vocalist Patrick Stump sounds better than ever (aside from those rare, ill-advised uses of a vocoder). And they're willing to play around with their sound, as when a string section and mandolin add a dark-edged atmosphere to "Thks fr th Mmrs", or the horn arrangements on the album's epic highlight "The (After)Life of the Party" and "I've Got All This Ringing in my Ears and None in my Fingers". All this grandeur may not be in keeping within the punk ethic, but Fall Out Boy have left most of their punkier roots behind on Infinity on High and taken the first steps towards becoming a great American rock band. --Ted Kord

This is one the first albums that I can listen to completetly and say I love each and every song. I had to buy a second copy as I played my original too much that I became worn. This album was the perfect length for my drive from home to university each day. Can't wait for the next album to be released next month.

I don't usually review anything, but love this so much I had to...

I have to admit I am a little out of touch with modern music, I like what I know and that does me fine. However on a random trip to my local record store I couldn't help but tap my feet as I walked round. I didn't know who it was playing through the store speakers but loved their upbeat cheeky sound so curiousity got the better of me and I had to go ask a shop assistant. "Fall Out Boy" she said. Nope, sorry never heard of them, but I still went directly to the shelf and bought this album. I absolutely love it, can't stop playing it, it's on my ipod and accompanies me to work, I have it on in the background when I'm doing the housework and I even play it when I'm working out.
A great album, loads of catchy tunes and even better songs you can sing along to whilst you imagine yourself being a groupie at a concert.
Buy it....... you won't regret it!!!!!

God it is the best album i brought in ages. anyone who has heard fall out boy should buy this album !!!! rock ON

I heard a few of Fall Out Boy's singles on Kerrang Radio and suddenly knew that I would love the new album infinity on high, and it tured out that I did.

I like the way each song has a story and a special meaning to it. The way Patric Stump sings the songs and the way the song lyrics are written makes you think much more about what the song means.

One of the things I like about Fall Out Boy is the names they choose for their songs for example: "I've Got All This Ringing In Ears But None On My Fingers." Just by hearing the name of a song like that would most definitly make me want to listen to the song or maybe find out about the artist. I think the best song on the Album is Thriller because I like the lyrics and the tune of the song.

I Think That Fall Out Boys Album is very good album and I think that you should buy it.

There are some very, very good songs on this album. Especially at the beginning, but I feel the end of the album is kind of a let down. I loved Thriller; The Take Over, The Breaks Over; This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race; and Thnks fr th Mmrs. But nearing the end I felt a little disapointed. They were okay, but not nearly as good as some of the others. One song near the end, I've Got All This Ringing in my Ears and One on my Finger (I'd swear it was "and None on my Fingers") struck me as being very different from the other songs, and is the only song I liked at the end.

If you listen to this album and find you love each and every song, then buy it! If you find you don't like some, like I did, then buy it anyway, the other songs are so good they are worth paying for.
