   I liked this album simply because nobody but Fall Out Boy can create this awesomeness.

   A major turning point in Fall Out Boy's work. The band has matured endlessly from From Under The Cork Tree, with the band's musicianship andA major turning point in Fall Out Boy's work. The band has matured endlessly from From Under The Cork Tree, with the band's musicianship and Pete's lyrics better than ever, though the most noticeable difference at first being Patrick's voice. He sounds more like a soul singer now and the likeness to his whining on Evening Out With Your Girlfriend is practically non-existent. Fall Out Boy draw in a lot more influences here, mainly from hip-hop, as evident in the albums opening four songs, but also expand their instrumentation for much more powerful song-writing than the album's predecessor. Wentz's lyrics are a puzzle wrapped in an enigma but he genuinely does have a lot to say. 'This is a love song in my own way' Patrick croons during one of the albums most tender moments. Patrick has claimed that he had the most creative influence out of the four on this album and from the result it's evident that's how it should always be. The man's a genius. The album's first seven songs are easily enjoyable and the second half takes the band's sound in an interesting and awesome new direction. There's still enough on here to please old fan's though - the Cork Tree reminiscent The Carpal Tunnel Of Love springs to mind, and not too much of a departure to completely alienate listeners. And one of the albums best songs comes in the bonus track G.I.N.A.S.F.S (gay is not a synonym for **** for anyone searching the internet in dismay)
   Innovative with big hooks and one of the years most essential albums.
   
   Standout tracks: "The Take Over, the Breaks Over", This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race, Golden, Thnks Fr Th Mmrs, The (After) Life Of The Party, You're Crashing But You're No Wave, I've Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers… Expand

   Fall Out Boy's songs are undeniably catchy. I'm not sure anyone can deny the power of their hooks. I like to call them pop punk Fall Out Boy's songs are undeniably catchy. I'm not sure anyone can deny the power of their hooks. I like to call them pop punk motown. But for me one problem is that 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 (yes, I've heard them claim that they're smart). This is not a case of people misunderstanding their genius, they just make no coherent sense. And I must admit I would feel better about defending their music to my elitist friends if Pete Wentz were not such a royal douche.… Expand

   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 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.… Expand
