Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High - Album Review


So the new Fall Out Boy CD came out 3 weeks ago and since I picked it up it has been in constant rotation in my car and on my ipod. It is very reminisent of their 2005 album "From under the cork tree." This album is put together really well starting with a intro by
Jay-Z and keeps a constant level of energy with songs equipt with really memorable hooks. Some of my favorites are the opening track "thriller," "Hum Hallelujah" and track #3 "Me and You."

According to wikipedia the title is taken from a letter written by Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo in 1888. In the letter, van Gogh describes his renewed health and the vigor it has instilled in his painting. The line that inspired the title is "Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all."

Track Listing:
"Thriller" – 3:29
"'The Take Over, the Breaks Over'" – 3:33
"
This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" – 3:32
"I'm Like a Lawyer with the Way I'm Always Trying to Get You Off (Me + You)" – 3:31
"Hum Hallelujah" – 3:50
"Golden" – 2:32
"
Thnks fr th Mmrs" – 3:23
"Don't You Know Who I Think I Am?" – 2:52
"The (After) Life of the Party" – 3:21
"
The Carpal Tunnel of Love" – 3:23
"Bang the Doldrums" – 3:31
"Fame <>
"I've Got All This Ringing in My Ears and None on My Fingers" – 4:06
