![]() Infinity On High received positive critical response and achieved great commercial success with singles like “This Ain’t A Scene, It’s An Arms Race” and “Thnks fr th Mmrs.” However, many critics wondered if this deviation from their typical sound in favor of something slightly more digestible would deter fans. Fans and critics alike were anxious to see what Fall Out Boy would come up with next, considering the great success they achieved with their sophomore album, including a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. Two months after their tour ended for From Under The Cork Tree, the band was already back in the studio working on their next album. It signified a turning point for Fall Out Boy, giving fans a glimpse of what’s to come in their genre-defying career. Sixth grade me was right, Infinity On High is important. As I sit here and write this article, I can honestly say that I have listened to this album roughly twelve times within the past week. Even though I couldn’t quite articulate it back then, something in my sixth grade brain was telling me this was an important album.Īfter giving into the fangirl urge to buy a commemorative Infinity On High t-shirt, I decided to revisit the album since I couldn’t remember the last time I had listened to it in full. Folie à Deux was the one they always attached themselves to, since it was the last album before their hiatus and more obvious departure from the pop-punk genre. ![]() I have a huge soft spot for Infinity On High, mostly because it never got enough love from my middle school friend group. I was only 4 years old when it first came out and wasn’t yet drooling over young Pete Wentz and his eyeliner, but this album turning 15 years old still feels like a huge deal to me. I was lazily scrolling through the promotions tab of my email and procrastinating when I see it: an email from Fall Out Boy (yes, I am still on their mailing list back from when I was twelve and desperate for tour presale codes) announcing limited edition merch for Infinity On High’s 15th anniversary. ![]() ![]() Panic! At The Disco and My Chemical Romance were iconic, but Fall Out Boy has always been my favorite. I have never been a religious person, but all throughout middle school, I worshiped the Holy Emo Trinity. ![]()
