Free Music Notes for Infinity on High - Deluxe Limited Edition
Free Music Review: Skip this one..
Hit: 1 Stars
Just buy the singles that you like on the radio. This album is crap. I dont know why they put JayZ in there and most of the critical reviews on amazon pretty much summed it up. I really believe some people are frocing themselves to like this album.Free Music Review: Sellouts?....No. Dissapeared off the radar?....uh no. Follow up to a great debut?....Yes!

What can I say? I love this album to death! I've been a FOB fan since early 2005. Now that's not reeeeally a long time, since that's when they kinda started to get noticed. I wish I was there from the start, but personally, if you didn't live in the Greater Chicago area, I think maybe that would have been a bit hard. (Hey. I might be TOTALLY wrong).
Anyway. Great hooks, Great melodies, Great lyrics (which don't really have a "plot" or "story" to 'em, but hey who cares!). One million out of ten. And will ALWAYS be in my top 3 albums ever.

Ultimately, Each person is going to reflect and choose their reasons, but, Most people I know(spanning from girlfriend, close friends, to own Mother) have enjoyed this CD, even if they think the song This ain't a scene its an arms race, says "This ain't a city, it's a goddamn horse race." Overal The score i chose for this cd is a not a true reflection of my score. The real score i'd give it is a 4.34
I know. It sounds like an odd number, however, I have good reason for it.
To prep you, this album is much more emphasis on the rock than previous albums have. I'd describe it as prevous albums as more punk, with this being the Fallout Rock. As in it's rock but it's filled with that dark adn gloomy yet also cheerfuly sounding lyrics that make FOB just who they are.
While much of the cd is amazing(sans 2 songs) there are 3 that shine above the rest.
First is Your crashing, but your not a wave. It has that feeling of a political messege but at the same time it has this feeling like it's all jsut a joke.
Second is Thnks fr th mmrs which is catchy, dark, and classic FOB. It gives a sense of irony and a sense of FU. It should be noted that some people have objected to the song for it's gay implications that can be interpeted from the lyrics acording to several listeners, However, The song is still quite good,regardless of what a person thinks it implies, and furthermore anyone who listens to FOB should not be expecting something tame in terms of middle class, closeted white, america.
the third song is The Carpal Tunnel of Love. Filled with the classic play on words that makes FOB enjoyable to listen to and in many eyes their trademark sound, There is a feeling that comes along with this song that blows out of the water everything sans the above two.
now while much this review is my own opinion, the following is purely the reason i don't give the cd a perfect five is that i am not fond of golden and Hum hallej.
aLL in all, i consider this cd a very good purchese.
Now onto the Regular vs limited edition talk. unless your a diehard FOB fan and must own every version of each cd or just desperately need some tarot cards that say falloutboy on them and a happy cardboard case as opposed to the plastic jewel case the other version comes in, I'd say buy whichever version is cheaper.
Most certainly a buy.

Fall Out Boy are an alternative punk rock group, if ever they could be classified, and their latest CD "Infinity on high" has already topped the Billboard album charts. The album comprises 14 songs with ambitious titles, averaging 3 minutes each.
Opening with an introduction from Jay Z (yes) as well as on outro, opening cut "Thriller" is an energetic number with machine gun-like guitars.
"The take over, the break's over" is a catchy upbeat song, while lead off single (and US & UK #2 hit) "This aint a scene, it's an arms race" - one of those rare FOB cuts to feature the song title in the song - shifts tempo from plodding to frenetic. It is produced by Babyface, as is "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs" (great jangly guitars).
Other standouts are the hand clap filled "Don't you know who I think I am", the more downtempo "I'm Like A Lawyer With The Way I'm Always Trying To Get You Off (Me & You)", "The (after) life of the party", "The carpal tunnel of love", the sing-a-long "Bang the doldrums" (which is remniscent in parts of The Smiths), and wickedly catchy "Fame infamy" which seems to race at the speed of light.
"You're Crashing, But You're No Wave" is a Killers/Franz Ferdinand-like rocker with lyrics telling the story of a court case. Brilliant!!
Lead singer Patrick Stump, has an earthy, soulful voice, sometimes remniscent of Terence Trent D'arby.
Like the voice says at the end of the disc, "Now, press repeat!"
