Pete Wentz has compared Fall Out Boy's second album to unprotected sex, recalling 2005 record 'From Under The Cork Tree'. The singer and bassist admits that none of them had a clue at the time what they were doing, so they just made the best record they could.
Speaking to British magazine Kerrang!, Pete explained: "We really had no idea what we were doing at the time. We were kids. Making it was like unprotected sex on a one-night stand, having a kid, and then the kid just happening to run out really awesome."
Fortunately for the group, it was the LP that really changed things.
Pete added: "It was the first time we felt we weren't really rushed into the studio. We were able to explore many more aspects of what we wanted to achieve as a bad, bring in different influence. I absolutely inhabited that record - certain songs, anyway - and it was a time when me and Patrick really cemented our working relationship together.
"We didn't have a massive budget, and no-one from our label was coming in and saying, 'This is going to be about!', but we felt the most comfortable we ever had."
Fall Out Boy are now back after a hiatus and recently released sixth studio album 'American Beauty/American Psycho', which shot to the top of the US charts earlier this year, entering top tens across the globe.
