Hit: 5 Stars
...14,000 more reasons to love Fall Out Boy. Isn't it refreshing to find an artist that improves consistently with each new album? Starting with Take This To Your Grave, I'd say that FOB wrote great music. However, they somehow added a whole new dimension with From Under the Cork Tree, then again--majorly--with Infinity On High. With this album, there's no more mistaking FOB music for cookie-cutter pop punk. The record title alone--taken from a line in one of Vincent Van Gogh's letters--should give you a good idea of the whole tone of the album. It was this record that introduced me to FOB, and consequently made me want to go back and listen to their older music. Infinity On High is, without exaggeration, the greatest album I've ever heard (my dad thinks it's great too, proving that the sound of this album can appeal to more than just teenagers, where perhaps the earlier albums couldn't). This is not a CD you will quickly grow tired of. I certainly haven't (and trust me, I listen to it a LOT). But more than that...there's something that's almost, inexplicably, comforting about FOB music, as most other diehard fans will attest. FOB has somehow become much more to me than any of the other bands whose music I like. And it's due in no small part to this particular album. I will now try (hopefully consisely) to explain why every single song makes this album worth your money. (By the way, I definitely recommend buying the CD here on Amazon or in a record store-- instead of going to iTunes where you may be tempted to download just a few tracks. This is one record that absolutely must be heard all together. And besides, the album artwork is cool.)
OK! Here are the tracks:
1. Thriller--FOB makes a grand, sweeping entrance. Love the drums at the beginning and the chorus that has literally made me cry. This song does an excellent job of explaining to the world what music should really be all about. "Long live the car crash hearts."
2. "The Take Over, the Break's Over"--One of those multiple-hooks songs. Ryan Ross's guitar solo is brilliant.
3. This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race--How could I ever get tired of Arms Race?
4. I'm Like a Lawyer With the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off--A good sing-along. The fun melody sets off the more serious lyrics.
5. Hum Hallelujah--Fall in love with it for its catchiness and clever lyrics, and remember as you're listening that lyricist Pete Wentz has called it perhaps his most ong on the album. The "Hallelujah" adaption, with the drums as a backdrop, is a definite highlight.
6. Golden--Give it up for Patrick's vocals and keyboard in the one slower, softer song of FOB's whole career.
7. Thnks fr th Mmrs--Who can forget the monkey video? The strings in the beginning are an awesome touch. I love how the verses sound minor and somehow "dark," but then it opens up into that big, get-up-and-dance chorus. This song is catchy, with a "crowd-pleaser" feel (even if you're just listening to it alone).
8. Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?--Cool lyrics, cool song. Reminds you vaguely of the older stuff, only fresher.
9. The (After) Life of the Party--For anyone who still doubts that Patrick is a great vocalist...wow, this song gives me goosebumps every time.
10. The Carpal Tunnel Of Love--The song that went from being my least favorite on the album to probably my very favorite (guess I didn't like the screamo part at first...I came around). The lyrics are exceptionally poetic, even by FOB's standards. You will practically hold your breath all the way through. And at the end, the only thing to say is, "Wow."
11. Bang the Doldrums--An upbeat, feel-good song that, as someone put it on Pete Wentz's blog, "reminds you of sailing."
12. Fame < Infamy--Has that hard, driving beat that FOB does so well. Plus, it contains the line: "Signing off, 'I'm alright in bed, but I'm better with a pen.'"
13. You're Crashing, But You're No Wave--Although I love Pete's lyrics on relationships, it's awesome to see FOB succeed so magnificently on a song that has absolutely nothing to do with relationships. This is "Fall Out Boy Speaks Out." Besides, this song is irresistably catchy.
14. I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears And None On My Fingers--Has a simple but soaring chorus. To me, this song is all about proving that the more basic beats, melodies, and even lyrics can work (in the hands of FOB). And gotta love that weird little voice at the end: "Now press repeat."
Infinity on High - Deluxe Limited Edition 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. Fennessy
