    Pros: nice rapid,fluid music such as "7 minutes in heaven" and "Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner"

    I first heard Fall Out Boy on my friend's i-pod and from that day on started lovin it! And believe it from a guy who hates all this punk rock stuff, it's totally rocks !

Pro Reviews: From Under The Cork Tree

  • All Music Guide

    Fall Out Boy's 2003 LP stacked sarcasm, wronged romance, and hardcorederived passion on the head of a punkpop pin. Take This to Your Grave was urgent at every turn, and though it fit the conventions of its genre, it was bolder and more memorable than the average release on Kung Fu or DriveThru. The kids responded Fall Out Boy were fast favorites of the online social networks (MySpace, etc.), and an endless tour schedule solidified their rep. With 2005's From Under the Cork Tree, the band fully delivers on their first fulllength's promise. Sure, it nods a little more to the standard dynamics and production tweaks of poppunk and emo in the mid2000s Cork Tree was produced by Neal Avron, who's worked with A New Found Glory. But in many more ways it's the same album as Grave, a youthintense blast of pop culture reference, poppunk hyperactivity, and the feeling that we'll never understand life until Patrick Stump or Pete Wentz tells us about it. And we believe them. Stump is Fall Out Boy's... vocalist and guitarist, Wentz its bassist and lyricist. Wentz' verbiage can be lengthy "I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me," one title goes but he has an innate ability to simultaneously acknowledge and deconstruct the mushy emo soliloquy. Temper that with a roadhardened cynicism about band life, superficial love, and the adventure of signing a record contract, and you have lyrics with a point beyond simply acting up or getting sentimental. "Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for my Sham Friends" is blunt. "Yeah we're friends," Stump says, "Just because we move units." But the album also has a current of longing to it, of missing regular life, regular relationships. Musically, Cork Tree's first five tracks are relentless, with razorsharp melodies that seem familiar but sound totally unique at the same time. The "Oh Oh"s and punchy chords of "Of All the Gin Joints in All the World" are a thrill greater than any Jimmy Eat World album ever; "Sugar, We're Goin Down"'s halftime shifts are triumphs of tumbling words; and the opening track meditates wryly on allages shows' fame. Further, when Fall Out Boy rip into "Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year," summer 2005 will not be able to ignore them. "We're the therapists pumping through your speakers/Delivering just what you need," they sing. It's obviously time to embrace our inner mall kid. - Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide Read more Less
