Customer Reviews

Great album, seriously
Every song on this album is fantastic. Not a single track that you'd want to skip.

The songs are technically sound, filled with guitar harmonies and underlying riffs, but still remains amazingly original. The vocals have excellent harmonies too, and often two part vocals doing crazy things keep you interested.

The lyrics to the songs are clever and well thought out, but what is really amazing is patrick (frontman's) singing voice. He is one of the best pop-punk vocalists ive heard in a long time. Every song has a new hook or harmony to keep you listening.

The album's only weak point is that the songs are all very similar sounding, and that the album is a little short, but when they're produced such a punchy, catchy, to-the-point record, what else can i do but give them 5 stars.

Good job Fall Out Boy. I think any pop-punk or even emo fans should definitly check this out.

Better than their other one
I actually bought this album AFTER having bought From Under The Cork Tree, as I really enjoyed that album, and wanted to see where FOB had come from. I have to say, I prefer this one. Being a fan of deeper, meaningful lyrics that I can relate to, TTTYG's theme of teen life hits the spot. From the repetetive but immense 'GTA/Where is Your Boy' and my personal favourite 'Saturday' down to 'Calm Before the Storm', each track catches you, sucks you in, and leaves you thinking about the inspiration for such clever lyrics (esp. Grenade Jumper)

A storming debut

great album!!
While waiting for the new albums of New Found Glory and Blink 182,etc i needed something to pass the time- i came across this little gem, and im glad i did!!
With fantastic lyrics, vocals and great guitar riffs, the band manage to create a wicked punk/pop/emo sound (or whatever u want to call it) not so differant to the likes of new found glory.
When i first found 'take this to your grave', i thought it was going to be like simple plan/starting line etc- good albums, but nothing great, just pass the time till blinks & NFG's new album- but how wrong i was, i actually prefer this to recent blink albums.
I've had this in my cd changer for about 2 months, and can still listen to it without skipping any tracks.
favourites tracks include: Saturday, chicago is so two years ago,the patron saint of liars and fakes.
This album will have u singing along in no time.
