fall out boy  | | | | fall out boy used to be my favourite band ever a few years ago, and i listened to their music all the time. as time went on and i got older, i kinda just grew out of them a bit, but now i'm starting to get into them all over again. my query is, i really liked their last album, Infinity On High, but alot of people i know hated it, and said they'd gone all commercial. this happened with Green Day too, when they bought out American Idiot. i thought that album was really good, but alot of people hated it. what did you guys think (if you've heard these two albums, of course) were they too commercial or were they simply just..growing up? | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

| | I am also a fan of Fall Out Boy and Green Day, and I did like both of the albums that you mentioned, although I did not like Infinity on High as much as I had liked previous albums. I did not think that the album was too commercial, as I felt that From Under the Cork Tree sounded much more pop-friendly than Infinity on High. I don't think that the disappointment stems completely from the music itself, but from a slight letdown after the anticipation of the new album. From Under the Cork Tree was an entire album of songs that I absolutely LOVED, a major progression from Fall Out Boy's previous albums, and so I expected the same from Infinity on High. While it did have some songs that I really loved, I found myself regularly skipping 3-4 songs on the album. To me, that was a disappointment as I was waiting for an amazing album, and I didn't feel that it had delivered. However, after some time had passed and I listened to it again, with lower expectations, I found myself enjoying it much more than I had before. I think all of the build up to the album just set people up for disappointment. Same with the Green Day album, I am sure. | | | | | | | xsammiex (2510)

| | yeah i completely agree with you, people build things up to much, setting really high standards for everything, so buy the time it actually gets there you're so hyped up thinking it will blow your mind and then it's just.. really good, rather than amazing. one album i did absolutely love though, no matter how much it was bigged up, was Paramore's Riot album. there is not one song on that album that i don't much like. it's brilliant!!! | | | | | | | Carpal Tunnel Treatment 75% cancelled their surgery, C TRAC stops CTS symptoms $149 www.carpaldoctors.com | add comment | | | |

| | We have the same taste because I freaking love fall out boy and Green day. Their song are very catchy and nice to hear. Been listening to them since they first came out. Some of the songs played by them are really stupid but cool :D | | | | | | | xsammiex (2510)

| | yeah, they are definitely very good writers! and they've got really good voices too. i used to be obsessed with billy joe, then i was obsessed with pete wentz lol. i love patrick stump's voice, but i wasn't obsessed with him so much.. | | | | | | | Playtex® Sport® Sample Step Up To Sport-Level Protection®.

| | I've been listening to Fall Out Boy since their first album and I have to say that Infinity on High is not their greatest album, in my opinion. Some of the songs on it are just okay, it's not a cd that I can listen to over and over again while liking every song like From Under the Cork Tree. Infinity isn't bad album, they just changed their sound a little bit which is normal because it's a different album and was a different time in their life. | | | | | | | xsammiex (2510)

| | yeah i agree, it's a good thing to change the sound a little bit, alot of artists do it. lily allen, avril lavigne, blink 182 to name a few. it's true that it isn't the best one, but i still think it is an amazing album, and i do like every song on it, there isn't one i'd skip while listening to the whole album. | | | | | | | Green Day 2012 Concerts Find Green Day shows.
