 moderen rock Feb 20, 2010
I ordered this disc primeraly on the stranth of track 7, thanks for the memories. I enjoyed the entire album and to put a few songs on my ipod. While every song is listenable, I do have issue with track 6, golden. while it is enjoyable, it seemed out of place because it is a laid-back, easy listening song. I think it would been better put at the end of the disc or not put on at all.
The liner notes have the song lyrics, witch is a plus.
Infinity on High Nov 17, 2009
I love this CD. I've barely taken it out of my CD player since I got it.
 Did I just Listen To The Same Song 14 Times? Jun 19, 2009
I was reading through reviews of this album on Lastfm, and I was shocked at what I found. It was a bunch of people praising Fall Out Boy has managed to produce the "best album eva". So, its better than anything the Beatles, or Bob Dylan ever put out. Its better than Weezer's Blue Album? Its better than Counting Crows' "August and Everything After/
I just do not understand what this band does to drawl in so many people. Teenage girls and boys flock to them in the masses. Do people find them all that original? Do people just love to dance to something? Is it there charming good looks?
"From Under the Cork Tree" was a decent album, but "Infinity On High" left a bitter taste in my mouth. Many of the songs all just sort of blend together because the vocalist sounds like he is singing each of them in the same way. Furthermore, the vocalist sounds just like five other punk pop bands including Panic! At the Disco (a band I consider to be better than Fall Out Boy) The flat and uninteresting vocals are not helped by very dull and generic rock music.
I think this album is a huge regression from "From Under the Cork Tree". There are no acoustic songs, no slow songs, nothing different to show that they have real range And for frak's sake, stop screaming into the microphone. Its just distracting.
This album does have a good songs. "This Ain't A Scene, Its a Arm Race" is without a doubt the best song on this album. "Golden" is another great song with a different style that I want to see more of in the future. "You're Crashing, But You're No Wave" is another great one.
Fall Out Boy really needs to evolve. It needs to take a risk. Otherwise, they just become tiresome, and unoriginal.

 AWFUL Jan 03, 2009
You know what I want to know? Why is todays music so horrible? I am 17 and I just don't get it. Why can't music be like it was between the 40's and early 60's? Now that is what I call music. Nowadays all the teen girls wanna wear pitch black makeup and dress like punks and listen to this awful rock music. I used to listen to all of this music and then I heard Dean Martin and I fell in love. I thought to myself "how did I ever listen to Fall Out Boy?" It's just not music at all. After the 60's music just went downhill....and so far it's not coming up! Don't waste your precious time listening to this junk. It;s just not worth it.

In The Shadow Of The Cork Tree Sep 12, 2008
I liked about 2/3 of this album. I think "This Ain't A Scene" is a joke, just a reason to say "G** D***" as much as Panic did in "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." And I make the traditional mention of song title length...which has no effect on my opinion whatsoever, it's just tradition. The lyrics are very catchy and most of the songs have great sing-a-long quality. I think Fallout Boy paid too much attention to the critic heat and lost a bit of the flare they had on The Cork Tree. But this album will not be forgotten. Standout for me is "Hum Hallelujah"
