Great album, seriously November 19, 2004 11 out of 11 found this review helpful
Every song on this album is fantastic. Not a single track that you'd want to skip. pThe songs are technically sound, filled with guitar harmonies and underlying riffs, but still remains amazingly original. The vocals have excellent harmonies too, and often two part vocals doing crazy things keep you interested.pThe lyrics to the songs are clever and well thought out, but what is really amazing is patrick (frontman's) singing voice. He is one of the best pop-punk vocalists ive heard in a long time. Every song has a new hook or harmony to keep you listening.pThe album's only weak point is that the songs are all very similar sounding, and that the album is a little short, but when they're produced such a punchy, catchy, to-the-point record, what else can i do but give them 5 stars.pGood job Fall Out Boy. I think any pop-punk or even emo fans should definitly check this out.
Better than their other one June 13, 2006 J. Batabyal (Caterham, Surrey United Kingdom) 7 out of 8 found this review helpful
I actually bought this album AFTER having bought From Under The Cork Tree, as I really enjoyed that album, and wanted to see where FOB had come from. I have to say, I prefer this one. Being a fan of deeper, meaningful lyrics that I can relate to, TTTYG's theme of teen life hits the spot. From the repetetive but immense 'GTA/Where is Your Boy' and my personal favourite 'Saturday' down to 'Calm Before the Storm', each track catches you, sucks you in, and leaves you thinking about the inspiration for such clever lyrics (esp. Grenade Jumper)

tell that mick... that this album is the best of 2004 so far May 5, 2004 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Fall out boy seem to be tagged as the next big thing in the states for this genre at the moment, and with take this to your grave as there debut its not hard to see why, full of great lyrics and great long song titles! It is probably the best new album of 2004 that i have perchased. stand out tracks: chicago is so two years ago, Grand theft autumn/where is your boy? and homesick at space camp. i would recommend this to any fans of Dashboard confessional, taking back sunday, finch, starting line ect....
