I wasn't sure what to expect from the ever-evolving F.O.B., but despite the fact that they got huge out from under me, I still think they're doing innovative stuff. Patrick isn't afraid to go out there and write genre-breaching music, and Pete keeps the music catchy with good sing-a-long lyrics. I've liked this band since the split with Project Rocket and I can honestly say I don't feel that Fall Out Boy has "sold out" like many people think. They continue to write catchy music that makes you want to sing and dance and go to a show. I think people should overlook the band's popularity and focus on the music which is the whole point anyway. Give this record a chance, listen to the music behind it and you'll find out how much work has gone into it. The songs speak to you and really, the band is a lot more down-to-earth and personally revealing than a lot of people realize. It's not just a bunch of songs strewn together to spin endlessly on radio stations. The songs are actually worth listening to.

Definitely different than what I was expecting, but I ended up loving this CD. Chris has really written some beautiful songs on this CD and seemed to make the acoustic genre a lot more interesting. I'm a die-hard Broadways/Lawrence Arms/Chris&Brendan fan anyway, so in my opinion this is an essential album. Buy it now!!

When I first bought the CD I was more into Brandston, and while the CD is decent, it lacks replay value. I barely ever listen to it anymore. If you're a serious fan, buy it. If not, download it 'cause you'll be sick of it in a year or so.

I loved this CD, but then I'm a big Against Me! fan anyway. If you're into the rawer sounding stuff, you might be a bit thrown off by some of the softer, more experimental tracks like "Borne on the FM Waves of the Heart". The CD mostly sounds like a mix of raw punk, alt-country and 80's (i.e. "Stop!"). My favorite songs are on the first half of the CD, but overall it's a solid release. I love "Thrash Unreal". :)

I wasn't sure if I would like this CD when I bought and I'm sure a lot of people felt the same way. But, after listening to each CD I fell in love with it. Don't be scared away by any of the opening tracks (which often don't depict Ace's voice at its best). I loved "The Path" which felt like a Broadway musical all the way through. The other two CDs feel a bit more like standard TEN, but still bring something new and fresh to the table. In an age where everything sounds the same, this CD is worth a listen just to feel the refreshing hope that people are still out there experimenting with music and trying to develop as artists. And the story/plot behind the concept album, while a bit cliche' on the surface, actually has some deeper substance to it. It's really powerful to listen to "The Path" with headphones. So good sometimes it gives you goosebumps. Buy this CD!

The CD is a blend of all the previous Rise Against releases with a little bit more experimentation and major label touching up. I suppose only time will tell if Rise Against sells their sound (and their souls) to a major label, but it didn't happen this time, so pick this one up.

This is a decent CD. There are some good covers on here (and some really bad ones). After I listened to the whole thing, it made me feel like I didn't like the Smashing Pumpkins as much as I thought I did, which is total bullshit. It's just that some of the bands really ruin TSP for me. I would suggest downloading the good ones and skipping this CD.

I have listened to this CD probably 3 or 4 times since I bought it. I was really disappointed. If you like Action Action, buy the old CD. But, if I were you, I'd skip this one altogether unless you're a diehard.

This CD is so good I can't even describe it. It's only five songs, but they're five of the best songs you'll ever buy. Think The Lawrence Arms meets Guns'n'Roses with backups by Dan Andriano. Now that I think about it, even that description doesn't do it justice. While this isn't as good as Unicornography, it fucking rules! Buy it!!!!

This CD wasn't horrible, but nothing stand out either. It is reminiscent of the Queers and sounds exactly like the Lillingtons. So, if you like either of those bands, you'll love this CD. Personally, it was a bit too repetitive for me which made me like it a whole lot less.
