I got this Cd the day it came put, patiently waited to put in the Cd player at home (since my car doesn't have one), and was completely blown away. The Intro by Jay-Z followed by the brutal chugging, double bass drum riff caught me completely off guard. It baffles me that people say the Fall Out Boy sold out. This album is the opposite of selling out, If they really wanted to sell records they could have just recorded another F.U.C.T. and would have sold just as well, it's clear to me that these guys want to be hear for the long haul, which is why they keep tweaking and experimenting with their sound.
I'll admit that I didn't like all the songs right away, but that's the thing with music it grows on you. IF you play the cd first time and expect to love it then don't be suprised if your dissappointed. They got rid of their sugar-poppyt choruses and replaced them with substance, it may take you a while to really get into it, but if you give this Cd a chance you will love it, I've listened to it 6 times in aproximatly 24 hours and each time I like it a little more.
