Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High
Fall Out Boy's fourth studio album, Infinity on High.
Living in a world with thousands of striving artists who endeavor to create the most inimitable, extensive song titles, bassist and lyricist of the Indie band Fall Out Boy, Pete Wentz doesn't make Infinity on High (Released February 6, 2007) an exception to the competition.
Many critics have dumped on this striking fourth album release; nevertheless, Fall Out Boy fans say that the added musicians and random musical choreography makes this one of the best Indie emo albums of this time. With song titles such as I’m Like a Lawyer with the Way I’m Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You), with the addition of Babyface performing on the organ, and even I've Got All This Ringing In My Ears and None on My Fingers, gives FOB a sense of both creativity and individuality.
Unlike their other albums, Infinity on High has invited numerous featuring artist to mix things up, such as rapper Jay-Z for the intro and outtro to “Thriller”. Aside from the exceptionally meaningful and intertwined lyrics, statements such as, "At night we're painting your trash gold while you sleep, crashing not like hips or cars, no, more like parties...” from hit single “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race” may throw you for a loop with much confusion.
The intensive meaning inside the skillfully crafted lyrics gives us that feeling of security and pride in music. FOB doesn’t make direct references to previous life situations, yet they craftily places them into this album at a more furtive level. Having many complaints about inappropriate song titles and incorrect release dates, Fall Out Boy still executed an astonishing accumulation of lyrical and musical wonders.
