From Under The Cork Tree - Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy formed back in 2001 and to date the band has released a total of four studio albums. 'From Under The Cork Tree' was the third and emerged in 2005, bringing with it the hit singles of 'Sugar We're Goin' Down' and 'Dance, Dance'. The album is incredibly strong, and whilst I had not been a fan of the bands previous album 'Take This To Your Grave', I most certainly have a great amount of love for this one. This album saw the band develop and mature into something far greater than ever before, and Fall Out Boy here produced a truly incredible album in the form of 'From Under The Cork Tree'. There are thirteen tracks on display on this album and not a ...  Read the complete review

While this album opens with the typical bombastic flair of Fall Out Boy's better offerings, the anthemic choruses and memorable hooks seem to be lacking just a little something. The heartfelt passion of their first album (Take this to your Grave) seems to be lacking a little and the almost mechanical silliness of the clever titles can be a little bit annoying (although it doesn't detract from the quality of the songs). In brief, an excellent pop punk offering with more than enough heartache and vim to keep fans of the genre interested, with spangly guitars-a-plenty and no song too long that you have to take it as any more than a good fire and forget ...  Read the complete review

Released in 2005 "From Under The Cork Tree" came as the third album from the Emo, Pop Punk band Fall Out Boy. Consisting of the likes of Pete Wentz, Patrick Stump and Joe Troughman, they finally found mainstream success when the brought out with album and managed to get some of their singles out to the masses, and it even led to their lead singer and guitarist, Stump, being used on projects from acts which aren't even directly linked to his genre of music with Lupe Fiasco, the Roots and Tyga all getting some kind of input from him on their albums around this time due to this breakthrough. 1.

One day a colleague of mine had a new CD delivered to the office by a band I had never heard of. I wouldn’t have paid it much attention except that the song titles on the album were some of the longest and funniest I had seen since Less Than Jake released “All My Best Friends Are Metalheads”. But not knowing who the band was, I merely chuckled and gave the CD back to him, vaguely impressed that they had named themselves after a minor character from “The Simpsons”. A short while after, I heard a very catchy song on the music channels and, again not knowing who the band was, looked them up on Amazon. It wasn’t until I saw the titles on the album that I ...  Read the complete review

Ok Fall Out Boy are a band I really like, some of you who are into your music may have known them for a while but those who are not so into their music will probably just have heard of them recently. Fall Out Boy got their name from a Simpson's character which doesn't sound like much but they asked the crowd at a show what they should be called, a fan said it and it stuck. The band are made up of four members. they are Patrick Stump, he sings and plays guitar, Pete Wentz bassist and lyricist, Andrew Hurley (Andy mostly), drums and Joe Trohman on guitar. They are out of the Chicago music scene and a few members had been playing in more hardcore bands for a ...  Read the complete review
