Fall Out Boy – From Under The Cork Tree

Platinum-selling record that made Fall Out Boy the most exciting rock breakthrough act of 2006, spawned two Top 10 smash hits, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Dance Dance." Now available on 2LP 180-gram vinyl.

"Fall Out Boy's second album, From Under the Cork Tree, is a peculiar mix of in-jokes ('Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of This Song So We Wouldn't Get Sued') and romantic dramas that post-adolescents are unlikely to care about. But thanks to a lot of taut grooves and dense hooks, these Chicago kids' near-emo is always kind of charming. The opening cut follows a joke about wrist-slitting with a lively group chorus, and the well-wrought refrain of 'Dance, Dance' suggests a collaboration between Linda Perry and Thursday.

"Singer Patrick Stump's guts-spilling can be cloying. But From Under the Cork Tree is buoyed by its self-deprecating humor; the over-the-top screamo parody 'I Slept With Someone in Fall Out Boy and All I Got Was This Stupid Song Written About Me' proves that in the business of emotional bloodletting, a little misdirection can make a big difference." — Rolling Stone
