5.0 out of 5 stars The Album You've Been Looking For..., August 26, 2003

This review is from: Take This to Your Grave (Audio CD)

I've never written a review for Amazon, but I HAD to recommend this album...

Some things that stand out about Fall Out Boy are:

1. The singer has a very unique voice(a good thing, especially in this genre), and can actually sing, and his voice isn't whiny which is pretty common of the lead singers of groups like this.

2. The music is complex when it needs to be, complements the singing and tunes perfectly...when I like a song, usually it's the singing or the actual music that stands out more than the other, but on "Take This to Your Grave" they meld and neither takes precedent over the other, they just work.

3. The melodies are amazing. About half of the songs have incredible melodies that you've never heard anything close to before, but they don't overuse through the duration of the song(One example being Jason Mraz' "The Remedy", good song but he kills it because he sings that chorus like 15 times).

4. It's really really rare for a CD to have more than maybe 2-3 good songs if you're lucky, but this CD has at LEAST 6 excellent songs, which, most importantly, all sound different from each other.

5. Their music has broad appeal, which is getting harder and harder to do these days, you don't have to be a fan of rock or pop-punk to enjoy this album.

My Favorite Tracks:

1- Tell that Mick He Just Made My List of Things To Do Today
3- Grand Theft Autumn
7- Chicago Is So 2 Years Ago
9- Grenade Jumper
10- Calm Before the Storm
12- The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes

5.0 out of 5 stars As the 203rd Reviewer of this Album..., August 11, 2006

I selfishly pride myself on liking bands no one has heard of and/or bands that aren't on the radio, but these stupid guys made me like a "cool" band. If you've made it this far you know what type of band you are getting yourself into, but unlike most bands that pop up for a year then disappear, these guys have put out good cds back to back. Yes buy this CD you won't be disappointed. The lyrics are great and the music even better. Seriously, I hate to have to write a review like that about a band that is on the radio all the time, but these guys are solid.

Good album. Some of the poor reviewers clearly don't know what they're talking about.

1. The lyrics on this album are sarcastic. That's what makes the lyrics funny and interesting. They often don't take themselves seriously.

2. The band didn't have a name. They got it on one of their first shows from a fan who yelled out the name Fall Out Boy when they asked what their name should be.

If you like anything that's poppy with a polished, barely audible hardcore touch, check these guys out. You'll be hooked.
