I've had this CD for some time now & was reading reviews for curiosity's sake. The other reviewers don't give it eough credit. It of course isn't as good as "Take This To Your Grave" or "From Under The Cork Tree" but something you should have if your a fan. Some one who doesn't love FOB may not appreciate is much but I love it.If you do decide to get it DO NOT BUY IT HERE $14 IS TOO MUCH. GET IT AT FYE OR SAM GOODY IT'S CHEAPER.
I definately recomend it.

i've been a fan of fob for a while, and because of that I decided to shell out 15 bucks for this crap, despite it's bad reviews. well, now that i have it first hand, I can say with full confidence that it blows. I really wanted to like it because it was falloutboy, but damn, it's not good. the production is terrible (seriously, I've heard better from cheap home studio equip.), and the arrangement of the tracks just doesn't flow well at all. with only 8 songs (calm before the storm doesn't count, as it appears on TTTYG), and 24 miuntes of music, it doesn't really feel like a full album either, more like an EP. Don't get me wrong, I really like falloutboy, and their talent is still visible even through the cheap sound, but part of me wishes I had just downloaded instead. Don't listen to mr. uprising either, he's a real a**. It's totally well known the sean keeps ALL the profits from the bands work on "girlfriend", and the fact that he keeps remixing it for re-sale is a joke. STAY AWAY from the new copy released on may 17th, and if you feel you must hear the 8 new tunes, find it for download and save you dough. it's a lose, lose situation, both for the band and for you wallet. 2 stars, but ONLY cuz' it's FOB. not a quality product.

... but this CD was unfortunatly made on a very low budget. All the songs are good, and you can tell they have talent, but it seems as though the production was rushed. My favorite tracks are Honorable Mention and Growing Up. Calm Before the storm is a great song, but there's a much better version on Take This To Your Grave. You should definatly check out Take This to Your Grave. I just got into this band a couple weeks ago, and I can't stop listening to that CD, I must listen to it at least 3 times a day, it's that good.

Fall Out Boy is a great band. These guy have just got on Fueled by ramen which i'm sure is a great move by the band. This cd is well produced and the songs are great. The singer's voice is really clear and he always hits the exact right notes. If you like The Starting Line you will love these guy's. There releasing a new full length this year on Fueled by ramen which i cant wait to hear. Get this cd!!

Here we have Fall Out Boy, the biggest pop-punk band since Yellowcard, with some of their earlier efforts. In one listen it's easy to tell why they didn't get much press with it.

In all honesty it sounds like a demo EP. Production quality is nowhere near their last two albums. Something is really smelly about the harmonies, they clash all over the place (maybe they didn't know exactly how to use them back then), and the lead guitar lines are pretty rank.

Only recommended for the most devoted Fall Out Boy fans. For the average listener, pick up 'Take This To Your Grave', or their latest CD, 'From Under The Cork Tree', instead of this. You'll thank yourself for it.

It's a great cd. Fall Out Boy is an amazing band and has so much talent. However, I must say that this CD is more than likely only good to the die hard fans. Get take this to your grave first and then come back to this CD and you'll be impressed with how much they have grown musically. Enjoy!

lyrics, sound, tunes this cd has it all and if you dont check this cd out be sure to check out "Take This To Your Grave" because if you dont the 200 thousand other people that get it will be making you jealous...

I bought this cd thinking it would be like their new stuff (take this to your grave/from under the cork tree), but i was in for a suprise! It's not touched up by the studio as much, so you hear the true band. Still talented, but they sound very young and the lyrics are less involved. They were able to turn a phrase from the beginning though! Fall Out Boy is my favorite band, so I absolutely love this cd. 'Calm Before The Storm' is not the same as on Take This To Your Grave, so it's worth buying. 'Pretty in Punk' is amazing and so is 'Parker Lewis can't Lose'. Five stars, and I would recommend buying this, it's going to be a classic one day.

I saw Fall Out Boy in Philidelphia when they opened for Allister. They have great live energy and put on a great show. I think that they upstaged Allister and Don't Look Down. After seeing them I had to buy their CD and I wasn't disappointed at all. Every song is great!

strange when people talk about things they have no knowledge of. fact is, fall out boy recorded this album when they were a brand new group, and looking for a label to help them get it out (not to fullfil some "crippling contract"). After the record was done, they got our good friend hurley to play drums, and really refined their sound for their second follow up LP. The group had always wished this record sounded better, so we finally had the bands friend Jared Logan (of 7 angels 7 plagues) take the time to remix the album, and bring the best out of what was really an energetic, fun session the first time around. This record never had the major label budget of the last 2 fall out boy records - but it does represent a vital time period in the bands history, and for many fans, is a cool record to have - both for the music and the great conceptual photo shoot the band did for the insert. For those who wanna fault us indie labels for being the ones to help get such bands debut LP's out in the first place - maybe you should leave the underground, and just buy major label records. We get records out on the budgets we have to work with, and so far, its allowed us to expose kids to alot of amazing bands - many of whom would of never gotten that chance.
