Rating:  - Love it!
This was the first I had heard of Fall Out Boy, and I loved it! I've been a fan since, and the songs are great on this CD. They're all catchy, and they get stuck in your head constantly (in a good way!). I love the CD, you should check it out.
Rating: - some guy wrote a review of this FOB record and he thought it was pretty cool
Despite the sophomoric song titles and the generally snotty attitude throughout "Under The Cork Tree," the super catchy songs strike right to the heart of the best pop-punk. "Sugar We're Going Down" is instantly singable, and the final "XO" set the stage for the surprisingly funky Infinity on High.
What this album doesn't quite have yet is an identity. At times, the vocals can't seem to decide if they want to be pop or Linkin Park ("Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying"). But when they concentrate on their strengths, like "Dance Dance," Fall Out Boy show what made them into superstars two years later. There's a tendency to mix their pop with classic rock hooks, which also makes for interesting songs ("I've Got a Dark Alley..."). Better than average, but Infinity On High is the better album.
Rating:  - WARNING: Fall Out Boy Makes Your Ears Bleed
Patrick or whatever his name is, the lead singer, his voice is awful. I've listened to it and it's just horrible. I don't know how some people say he sounds like Panic! at the Disco's Brendon Urie, because this guy has no talent. Panic! at the Disco kills them in everything, vocals and music. Panic at the Disco used to be awesome, well, they still are, its just they need to put the ! back in their name and write and perform songs like they did on their first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. They are amazing! But these guys, oh no. Please, help yourself out by not buying this cd. Buy Panic! at the Disco's music!!!
Rating:  - i'm not ashamed. ok yes i am.
I'm not ashamed to say i think this is one of the best major-label rock albums to come along since, well, since Nirvana.
...
well, actually, i am a little bit ashamed. because my punk rock friends mock me so. but i can't help it. i just love this album.
Rating:  - Would have been better had the radio not overplayed the songs
I really like some of the songs on here, and it's the kind of cd that I'll still have when I'm 40 that my kids will listen and shake their heads at. The good songs that are on it made the radio, not really any hidden gems on it.
