Free Music Review: An All New Fall Out Boy
Hit: 5 Stars
I admit, it took awhile to get used to "This Ain't a Scene, It's An Arm's Race" because it is very much like a Panic! At the Disco song and I like the difference between Panic! At the Disco and Fall Out Boy. Despite this, I didn't even think twice about buying the album the day it came out and being a college student, $16.00 for a CD is like $100. The money was well worth it. Fall Out Boy is going back to the roots of writing lyrics as well as music. The first thing I did when I got the CD was read the CD jacket and some of the lyrics. One thing you notice about Pete Wentz's approach to writing this time is that, he has some deeper, more poetic writing this time around. The album isn't as peppy as I would have liked it, but I really love that Fall Out Boy is taking a different approach to their music. They're moving from total pop punk kings to more mature laid back young men. Below is a track listing an an individual review of each song;
Thriller- 3:29
A blend of soft meledy and of course, Jay-Z's intro opens this song and gives you a sense of thankfulness from Fall Out Boy to their fans. Thriller really showcases Fall Out Boy's ability to take a somewhat ballot song and give it a punk twist. This tune has a very catchy beat and chorus line.
**** Stars!!
The Take Over, The Break's Over- 3:33
Imagine Jet playing the introduction to this song and having their music following throughout the background empahsizing Fall Out Boy's lead singer's vocals. This is The Take Over, The Break's Over. A piano melody and lead guitar and bass line is the star of this song. The lyrics are charged with energy over the mellow music. **** Stars!!
This Ain'ta Scene, It's an Arm's Race- 3:32
I'm sure anyone reading this has heard this song on the radio, MTV, VH1 etc. The album version is no different than the radio edit version except for the boys add the harmless swear in on the album. This is my least favorite song on the album but, that isn't a bad thing because I'd still give it almost four stars in my rating. It's probably the most upbeat, fast song on the album though. I think this was the hook Fall Out Boy needed for the people who aren't necessarily fans to buy the album or atleast take interest in the band.
*** Stars!!
I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me & You)- 3:31
Fall Out Boy continues with their lengthy and clever titles on this song. I love the singer's voice on this song, it's very innocent. This is a true punk ballot, in my opinion. The vocals are atleast and the music is soft in the background. Everything works on this song.
**** Stars!!
Hum Hallelujah- 3:50
The opening of this song is traditional pop punk. It almost reminds me of some of the older Fall Out Boy. The song is okay, I like to listen to it but, it's not one of my favorites. It is typical Fall Out Boy, vocals shine in this song.
*** Stars!!
Golden- 2:32
Golden starts off very slowly and remains that way. The lyrics are very reflective on something Pete Wentz has probably gone through. It's slow and not as catchy as some of The All-American Rejects' slower songs but, it's a great song within itself. It's a short ballot that is very relaxing.
*** Stars!!
Thanks for the Memories- 3:23
This song reminds me of their old stuff but, the accompanying vocals kind of clash the lead singer's ability to sing. The chrous is catchy and probably could be used in some sort of movie. This song doesn't showcase Fall out Boy's ability as artists.
*** Stars!!
Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?- 2:51
This song is a breath of freash air in the middle of the album. The track has a delightful brust of hand claps, fun lyrics, and a very catchy beat. This is one of my favorite tracks on the album. If ever to perform this song luve, I think it'd definately be one all the kids would jump up and mosh with. This is a new side of Fall Out Boy that I like to see!!
**** Stars!!
The (After) Life of the Party- 3:21
The beginning of the song reminds me of something out of Grease. The singer sounds like a lounge singer/swooner of the 20th century. He often revisits this feel, usually directly after the chorus. It's a fun, fast to slow, slow to fast song with some heart behind it.
*** Stars!!
The Carpal Tunnel of Love- 3:23
The singer's voice is a bit whiney for my liking in this song. I love the guitar in the background. It helps during times when the lyrics may be lacking and the vocals may be a bit annoying. Though I said "This Ain't a Scene" was my least favorite song on this album, I'd have to say this song is least pleasing to me. They also try to do a "scremo" bit toward the end which is not typical of Fall Out Boy and it isn't something I'd like to see them try again.
*** Stars!!
Bang the Doldrums- 3:31
Fall Out Boy masks itself in an almost metal beginning to this song. But, the typical Fall Out Boy lyirics and vocals come through and deliver on this song. This song saves the end of the album from falling into what seems to be a three song slump, chacteristic of this album.
**** Stars!!
Fame < Infamy- 3:06
This song is an energy filled, brand new sound for Fall Out Boy. Not much to say about the song except that the music does most of the talking in the song. I doubt this will be a single of their's but, it is nonetheless enjoyable.
*** Stars!!
You're Crashing, But You're No Wave- 3:42
Helloooooooo, Panic! At the Disco. This song tells a clear story with showy vocals and and music. Not the typical Fall Out Boy sound I like to hear but, it's not exactly like Panic! At the Disco so, I like it!!
*** Stars!!
I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears and None on My Fingers- 4:06
The longest track on the album and a very good song to close with on this brand new album. It's that new sound Fall Out Boy is trying out and it's very enjoyable and fresh. I'm glad they decided to end the album on this song because, it's the new sound I like to hear, it's just enough of the old school Fall Out Boy, and it leaves me wanting more!!
**** Stars!!
Overall, be open to the new sound of Fall Out Boy because it is all over the new album as well as their old style of lyrical magic!! The album should pull in old and new fans of the band alike!!
Infinity on High Poster
US picture disc of Fall Out Boy's much anticipated 2007 album Infinity On High, once more produced by long term collaborator Neal Avron and, on two tracks, Hip-Hop/R&B legend Babyface, is pre-ceded by the hit single 'This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race'. Universal. 2007After the success of From Under the Cork Tree, Fall Out Boy earned the right to indulge their whims. Fortunately, their instincts tend to serve them well (not counting those infamous cell-phone photos). On their most adventurous album, Def Jam prez Jay-Z introduces "Thriller," while Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds produces groove-heavy hit "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs." A few new flourishes aside, however, like guitarist Joe Trohman's Metallica moves on "Thriller," the Chicago-bred band remains true to their punk-pop roots, even if vocalist Patrick Stump sounds like Mr. Sexyback on "This Ain't a Scene" and "I'm like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You)." You can thank bass player/songwriter Pete Wentz for the unwieldy song titles. As he explains in "Fame < Infamy," "I am God's gift / Why would he bless me with such wit without a conscience." Whether spicing up their recipe with R&B swagger or playing it straight, FOB are at their best when they crank up the volume. Hence, the piano-based "Golden" is the weakest track on an otherwise solid outing. Hey, maybe they just wanted to see what a stadium looks like bathed in the glow of a thousand lighters. Taking its title from a letter Vincent Van Gogh sent to his brother Theo ("Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high"), Fall Out Boy's fourth seems likely to follow its predecessor into the platinum stratosphere. --Kathleen C.
