Negative Positive
Title: On their way
Review: While I won't collapse into the hysterical blind adoration of some of the other reviewers here, I have to say Fall Out Boy certainly doesn't deserve the skewering some of the "old school" complainers have thrown at them.Is Fall Out Boy the next Sex Pistols, or Ramones? No, they do trend more towards the pop/angst end of the punk spectrum, but if you can open your mind wide enough to realize that music will always continue to evolve, then the CD is very enjoyable.The group is clearly talented, and while they could do more to stand out from the crowd (personally, I hear a lot of cues from Green Day and Weezer), that talent alone makes the CD a good listen. The improvement over their first album seems to indicate not only their commitment to growing their sound, but also to making the music that matters to them instead of being ruled by producers trying to simply recreate their very strong debut CD.
Is the review positive or negative?
