After the success of From Under the Cork Tree, Fall Out Boy earned the right to indulge their whims. Fortunately, their instincts tend to serve them well (not counting those infamous cell-phone photos). On their most adventurous album, Def Jam prez Jay-Z introduces "Thriller," while Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds produces groove-heavy hit "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs." A few new flourishes aside, however, like guitarist Joe Trohman's Metallica moves on "Thriller," the Chicago-bred band remains true to their punk-pop roots, even if vocalist Patrick Stump sounds like Mr. Sexyback on "This Ain't a Scene" and "I'm like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You)." You can thank bass player/songwriter Pete Wentz for the unwieldy song titles. As he explains in "Fame < Infamy," "I am God's gift / Why would he bless me with such wit without a conscience." Whether spicing up their recipe with R&B swagger or playing it straight, FOB are at their best when they crank up the volume. Hence, the piano-based "Golden" is the weakest track on an otherwise solid outing. Hey, maybe they just wanted to see what a stadium looks like bathed in the glow of a thousand lighters. Taking its title from a letter Vincent Van Gogh sent to his brother Theo ("Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high"), Fall Out Boy's fourth seems likely to follow its predecessor into the platinum stratosphere. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

 I don't know what they are talking about! August 6, 2007

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 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.

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.

Studio album number four from FOB is an easy-on-the-ears collection of pop punk/rock tracks sure to please any fan of popular music. Devoid of filler material, the tracks change rhythms and tempo effectively to keep it interesting, showcasing the smooth vocals and clever lyrics of Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz.
The album opens with a spoken intro by Jay-Z on the song "Thriller", which has a catchy chorus and some nice drum work by Andrew Hurley, said drumming prowess continuing into the second track "The Take Over, The Break's Over". Next comes the BIG single and my favorite track, the anthemic "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race", produced by Babyface. The other singles are "The Carpal Tunnel of Love" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs" (also produced by Babyface).
Another great track is "I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You)" (which sounds a little like Oasis' Champagne Supernova); and then there's "Hum Hallelujah" and the ballads "Golden" and "The (After) Life Of The Party".
A well put together album, and sure to be a hit with fans of popular music and radio deejays everywhere.

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!"
