Fall Out Boy: Ranking Every Album From Worst To Best

Nostalgia carries a lot of weight with pop-punk albums, and since this was most die-hard fans' entry point to the band, it's tough to shake the feelings you get listening to a song as passionate and blissfully naive as 'Homesick at Space Camp'. When you get into your car on a summer day and roll the windows down, the teenager inside you doesn't want to hear a deep cut from American Beauty/American Psycho.

Hell no, it wants to hear 'Dead On Arrival'. And you know what? There's definitely nothing wrong with that instinct.

Because at its heart, Take This To Your Grave is the sound of teenagers pressing as hard as they can on the gas pedal, even as they swerve around sharp corners, narrowly avoiding head-on collisions that would blow up the whole damn car. The energy is infectious, even if the second half of the album does start to feel a little same-y at times.

There's an air of romanticism around these songs that will likely never fade. Fall Out Boy fans are well aware there are better songs in their discography than 'Saturday', but do you get the same kind of pleasure from them as you do when you belt out 'Two more weeks / My foot is in the door, yeah'? Do you get goosebumps the same way you do during the opening riff of 'Grand Theft Autumn'?

Probably not.
