    oh one of the worse albums of the year by far. Although track 2 is a guilty pleasure the rest of the album is so bad that it is absolutely appalling. Everything from the production to the song writing is horrid.

    Backstreet Boys meets Bon Jovi is a perfect description of this band. I would also like to throw in a Sammy Hagar fronted Van Halen for good measure with some Good Charlotte influences on the last 2 tracks. Keep up the good work, slaves.

    After their first album Fall Out Boy took a turn for the worst. They went from being a new and out coming band with catchy beats and lyrics to a sell out, and this album only proves that even more. It's not even worth buying.

    What is this! I though I was listening to Maroon 5 for at least half of this disk. 'This Aint A Scene' best it gets. Its so cheesy and not cool, and not punk and not clever. Its not nice to your ears, not catchy, not funky and Id leave the room if this came on. I came in with an open mind too.

    It sounds like a Hanna Montana sound if she very a men, also the songs are very similar, there aren´t hard work.

    Well, at least this album starts off okay. The Jay-Z introduction is, admittedly, pretty cool. But the first dozen or so seconds of non-suckage are easily the high point of the entire album; a fucking smorgasbord of stupid lyrics, boring instrumentals, and completely worthless singing. Look at the cover, it's fucking retarded. Read the song titles, they're fucking retarded. Do Well, at least this album starts off okay. The Jay-Z introduction is, admittedly, pretty cool.

    I dont know what happend with this album but for me is like when Good Charlotte came up with "Chronicles Of Life And Death" after the success album young and hopeless it was a boring and empty album, is almost the same with the new FOB, maybe one good song and the rest is just crap

    No matter how old you are, it's not okay to own this CD. Andrew W.K. is right on the money with how hilariously bad the artwork and the song titles are. Another flash in the pan band that will flicker away and become The Partridge Family of the 2000s. Their lead singer already looks like a fat Danny Bonaduce as it is.

    Did anyone really expect a masterpiece from last year's flavor-of-the-month? Get real. This band is going right in the same garbage pile as every other Emo band. It's over. This sound is tired.

    FOB, much like MCR, are merely the flavor of the moment and are highly touted by the mainstream media primarily because they're so popular with the kids. This isn't terrible music, for sure, but it hues so close to the bland pop punk formula that it barely makes an impression. FOB is not a musical abomination, but they surely don't deserve all the critical acclaim.

Honestly, a few okay songs; the only problem is that after the first few, they all sound the exact same.

    I never really have liked Fall Out Boy, as they've spawned a train of even more terrible imitators and sissified followers at my high school. Could it get any worse than the last CD? Well, yes, if you blended in a little bit of the Backstreet Boys, as evidenced by "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race," quite possibly the most annoying single released this year, not to I never really have liked Fall Out Boy, as they've spawned a train of even more terrible imitators and sissified followers at my high school.

    Fall Out Boy is somewhat similar to crack cocaine when it was first became mainstream. It's addicting, horrible, and spreads like wildfire. The band is an absolute joke and are showing hopeful musicians around the world that you don't need to be skilled (or talented) to be famous.

    Fall out boy WAS good before they made Infinity on high...why do they had to put the soft satan worship in their music. I speak for myself and a lot of other people when I say that fallout boy is just heading down hill. They need to make an album that doesnt have any of the dissing god stuff.

The lead singer can't sing for his life and the only thing keeping this band alive is their drummer, who is barely par.

    their lyrics are so ridiculously convoluted that it's clear they have little to say. It's easy to right a bunch of jabberwocky and claim to be smart . This is not a case of people misunderstanding their genius, they just make no coherent sense.
