I got this Cd the day it came put, patiently waited to put in the Cd player at home (since my car doesn't have one), and was completely blown away. The Intro by Jay-Z followed by the brutal chugging, double bass drum riff caught me completely off guard. It baffles me that people say the Fall Out Boy sold out. THis album is the opposite of selling out, If they really wanted to sell records they could have just recorded another F.U.C.T. and would have sold just as well, it's clear to me that these guys want to be hear for the long haul, which is why they keep tweaking and experimenting with their sound. I'll admit that I didn't like all the songs right away, but that's the thing with music it grows on you. IF you play the cd first time and expect to love it then don't be suprised if your dissappointed. They got rid of their sugar-poppyt choruses and replaced them with substance, it may take you a while to really get into it, but if you give this Cd a chance you will love it, I've listened to it 6 times in aproximatly 24 hours and each time I like it a little more.
Ok, lot's of the the reviewers on here are saying that you should just download the singles, but DON'T!!! Get the whole thing! Every song on the album basically IS a single! They all are catchy, and they all will get stuck in your head! They keep getting better and better with every album! But I will tell you this.... If you do buy it, listen to it at least four times before you give your final judgement. And just TRY not to like it! It's impossible!
I bought this CD based on the tracks that had significant air play, "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race" and "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs." After listening to this CD for a couple weeks now, it's become one of those few I really want to play every day. Usually, new CDs I really like get played a few times the first week then only get played every few weeks after that.
Just about any of the tracks on Infinity on High could have been singles; it's a shame that more of them didn't make on the air. What's interesting about them is the differences between them. They are all Fall Out Boy tunes to be sure, but each has different arrangements and instruments - even more so than their other releases. There's just an amazing range here. It's definitely not fourteen tracks of the same stuff using different cords. After buying this one and worried I must have missed some great music, I went back and got the releases I was missing. Most people tout the debut album, which was very good, but I've got to say, this one's my favorite of them all.
This cd is great and is an improvement over their last album. The best songs are Hum Hallelujah, Arms Race, Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, and Thriller. I think what makes this cd better than the last is the consistency of the material. From start to finish, this cd keeps you entertained and has enough variety to make each song sound fresh.
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!"
