othosFeb 17, 2007I know nothing about this band, but I would be inclined to give this record a listen for no other reason than that the absurdly profane, annoyingly unimaginative (Could we say "fuck" and "retarded" a few more times?) Andrew K hates it. Oh, and by the way, Andrew, insult FOB if you must, but let's leave the mentally challenged out of it, shall we?

adsfadsfdafsMar 25, 2007this album is not awful, but it's not stunning either. this album works when they're not overproduced. this ain't a scene is bad because it is overproduced. there's nothing stunning, but there's nothing to hate either. it's not like they set out to make crap music like fergie, black eyed peas, and k-fed

SpongeeeFeb 16, 2007Still growing on me- not as memorable as From Under the Cork Tree- they have for sure gone more a mainstream route

JoeJohnFeb 26, 2007Fall Out Boy is out to prove that they can make good punk songs. They fail miserably.

JasonEFeb 8, 2007Hey, don't let the puppy string you up by the bones on this one: there's a fantastic feast of sound mixes, vast arrays of sharp and punishing poly-dotting-harmonies, and a singular lack of regard in regards to the current lurching state of old new music being toyed out today.

May 26, 2018Overrated. Some good tracks here but overall this album doesn't do much. Some of the singles like Thnks fr th Mmrs, This Ain't a Scene It's an Arms Race and I'm Like a Lawyer, along with some deep cuts Bang the Doldrums and I've Got All This Ringing are the tracks I'd recommend from this release.
Awards & Rankings
-
For a band that was once so self-assured and able to utilize its talents so compellingly, the album is regrettably haphazard.
-
Alternative PressSome of the band's most gut-wrenching and powerful melodies to date. [Mar 2007, p.133]
-
Lo and behold, it turns out these pasty emo boys are a pretty great blue-eyed soul band.
