Fall Out Boy's 2003 LP stacked sarcasm, wronged romance, and hardcore-derived passion on the head of a punk-pop pin. Take This to Your Grave was urgent at every turn, and though it fit the conventions of its genre, it was bolder and more memorable than the average release on Kung Fu or Drive-Thru. The kids responded -- Fall Out Boy were fast favorites of the online social networks (MySpace, etc.), and an endless tour schedule solidified their rep. With 2005's From Under the Cork Tree, the band fully delivers on their first full-length's promise. Sure, it nods a little more to the standard dynamics and production tweaks of pop-punk and emo in the mid-2000s -- Cork Tree was produced by Neal Avron, who's worked with A New Found Glory. But in many more ways it's the same album as Grave, a youth-intense blast of pop culture reference, pop-punk hyperactivity, and the feeling that we'll never understand life until Patrick Stump or Pete Wentz tells us about it. And we believe them. Stump is Fall Out Boy's vocalist and guitarist, Wentz its bassist and lyricist. Wentz' verbiage can be lengthy -- "I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me," one title goes -- but he has an innate ability to simultaneously acknowledge and deconstruct the mushy emo soliloquy. Temper that with a road-hardened cynicism about band life, superficial love, and the adventure of signing a record contract, and you have lyrics with a point beyond simply acting up or getting sentimental. "Champagne for My Real Friends, Real Pain for my Sham Friends" is blunt. "Yeah we're friends," Stump says, "Just because we move units." But the album also has a current of longing to it, of missing regular life, regular relationships. Musically, Cork Tree's first five tracks are relentless, with razor-sharp melodies that seem familiar but sound totally unique at the same time. The "Oh! Oh!"s and punchy chords of "Of All the Gin Joints in All the World" are a thrill greater than any Jimmy Eat World album ever; "Sugar, We're Goin Down"'s half-time shifts are triumphs of tumbling words; and the opening track meditates wryly on all-ages shows' fame. Further, when Fall Out Boy rip into "Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year," summer 2005 will not be able to ignore them. "We're the therapists pumping through your speakers/Delivering just what you need," they sing. It's obviously time to embrace our inner mall kid. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

  Ayanna from New York, N.y ..........REPRESENT
EXCELLENT
Fall out boy this year is really getting alot of attention this year. After their hit "Sugar We're Going Down" and "Dance,Dance" they gained many fans. This cd shows that they are here to stay and can really produce music that makes you want to rock out!!!! I suggest this cd because I'm not a huge fan of punk-rock, but after listening to their music, I really came to appreciate there style of music...Buy their cd....you won't regret it!!!!
  Taylor from Moscow, ID

The songs are great. Pete does a great job with lyrics and Patrick does a great job singing them and with the music. I really love Fall Out Boy. this is definitely one of my fave cds of 2005.
  A reviewer from Syracuse, NY
So Catchy!
i just love this record. I was never into pop punk before, but ever since I saw these guys on MTV and the "Sugar We're Going Down" video I can't get enough. I even got into Green Day and blink 182 after this one. "Dance, Dance" is awesome and has an even better video. Get this. Album of the year!!!
  Nesa Olvera from McGregor,TX

I never listen to this kinda music because im a "RAP" type but after listening to this cd my taste in music has never been the same. You cant help but lose your self in each song. Fall Out Boy is the first band that ever caught my attention!
