Summary: In The Shadow Of The Cork Tree
Comment: I liked about 2/3 of this album. I think "This Ain't A Scene" is a joke, just a reason to say "G** D***" as much as Panic did in "I Write Sins Not Tragedies." And I make the traditional mention of song title length...which has no effect on my opinion whatsoever, it's just tradition. The lyrics are very catchy and most of the songs have great sing-a-long quality. I think Fallout Boy paid too much attention to the critic heat and lost a bit of the flare they had on The Cork Tree. But this album will not be forgotten. Standout for me is "Hum Hallelujah"

Customer Rating: Summary: Eh not bad but not that great
Comment: Fall Out Boy has really sold themselves out with this CD. I loved "Take This To Your Grave" and "From Under the Cork Tree" but this is definitely a tier below their previous CDs. For one thing, I don't like the way the singers voice sounds on this CD. His voice is deeper and less expressive, which doesn't go as well with this style of music. Overall the CD sounds much more produced and aimed at the mainstream, yet another thing I don't like. That being said, this CD does have a few stand-out tracks including "Hum Hallelujah", "Thanks for the Memories" and "The Life After the Party". If you're a huge fan I'd suggest buying it but if you're not it's probably not worth the buy.
Another thing I want to point out is how incredibly bad this band is live. They sound completely different. You can really tell how much editing goes into the singers voice because live he sounds nothing like he does on the CDs. I saw them at the UIC Pavilion which is definitely not made for concerts because the acoustics are terrible. Another important thing to note is that 90% of the audience is 14 year old girls screaming for Pete Wentz's weeny. The other 10%- 14 year old confused boys wearing eye liner... and also screaming for Pete Wentz's weeny. I was seriously embarrassed to be at that concert.

Comment: i was realllly upset to realize how sucky this cd was. i used to love FOB and i'll always listen to their old stuff, but this is TO much. i hate how much their music changed and now the only ppl it appeals to is little teeniebopping fan girls. ewwwww. maybe if they come back with something that sounds a little along the lines of take this to ur grave or from under the corktree i'll listen again. i mean i can understand that they want to change their sound but jesus this sucks!
