Fall Out Boy has been causing an arms race a scene since they skyrocketed into emo rock band infamy in during the summer of 2005, with their legendary hits “Sugar, We’re Goin Down” and “Dance, Dance” endlessly playing on repeat across every rock and pop radio station throughout the country until they released their third album, Infinity on High in 2007. If I could capture time in a bottle, it would have Invisible Kids t-shirts, Paul Wall, scene hair, and “Sweet Pea” scented fragrance sprays. Alas, the era of the edgy mullet may be over, but the music from this prime millennial time lives on… and Fall Out Boy was a HUGE part of it.

Take This to Your Grave, their debut studio album, was released on May 6, 2003. It was recorded at Smart Studios in Madison, WI. It became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase through heavy touring, including a five-day stint on Warped Tour 2004. Take This to Your Grave is often cited as influential on pop-punk music in the 2000s.

From Under the Cork Tree, their second album, was released on May 3, 2005 through Island Records, and became the source of mainstream success. It went 2x Platinum, transforming the group into superstars and making their bassist, Pete Wentz, a celebrity and tabloid fixture. Fall Out Boy ultimately received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2006 Grammy Awards.

Infinity on High, their third album, was released on February 6, 2007. The album features collaborations with new producers and guest artists, such as Babyface and Jay-Z. The band experimented with a wide variety of genres, including R&B, soul, and flamenco, utilizing instruments such as horns, violins, and pianos, which had not been used on previous releases. It exploded around the world, topping more charts than any other album, reaching #1 on the US Billboard 200, US Billboard Rock Albums, US Billboard Digital Albums, and US Tastemaker Albums.

Folie à Deux, their fourth album, was released on December 10, 2008. They collaborated with William Beckett, Elvis Costello, Travis McCoy, Doug Neumann, Gabe Saporta, Brendon Urie, Alexander DeLon, Lil Wayne, Pharrell Williams, and Debbie Harry of Blondie. For the Australian/New Zealand Deluxe edition, they released a cover of the Michael Jackson hit song, “Beat It” featuring John Mayer, which had an accompanying music video. Following multiple touring stints, the band decided to take a break at the end of 2009.

Save Rock and Roll, their fifth studio album, was released on April 12, 2013 by Island Records and Decaydance. It features guest vocals from Foxes, Big Sean, Courtney Love, and Elton John (who sings on the album’s title track). The band filmed music videos for every song on the album, which were compiled and released as The Young Blood Chronicles in 2014. ts top 20 lead single, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)”, has achieved triple-platinum certification in the U.S. and charted worldwide.

American Beauty/American Psycho, their sixth studio album, was released on January 16, 2015 by Island Records and DCD2. The album’s release was preceded by the 4× Platinum top 10 lead single “Centuries”, released September 9, 2014 while the album was still being completed. The album peaked at #1 on the US Billboard 200, US Billboard Top Alternative Albums, US Billboard Top Rock Albums, Billboard Canadian Albums, and OCC Scottish Albums charts.

MANIA, their seventh studio album, was released on January 19, 2018 by Island Records and DCD2, marking an end of their contract with Island Records. Somehow, this incredible collection of musical art became the band’s first album since Take This to Your Grave to not produce a Billboard Hot 100 single on the chart. The album was nominated for the category of Best Rock Album at the 61st Annual Grammy Award; at least they recognized the potential.

So Much (for) Stardust, their most recent and eighth studio album, was released on March 24, 2023 through multiple labels, including Fueled by Ramen, Elektra, and DCD2. It was produced by Neal Avron. In an interview with NME, Patrick Stump talked about the development of the record, stating, “Technology has made it really easy to make records much more quickly these days. There’s nothing wrong with that, and that spontaneity can be exciting… But we wanted to get back to the way we used to work. We wanted to make a record that was really lovingly crafted and deliberate and patiently guided – like someone cooked you a delicate meal. I’m not a very proud guy, but I’m pretty proud of this record.”

As Fall Out Boy has officially surpassed 20 years in the industry, and they’ve blessed us with some seriously creative music videos over the years. From dancing llamas to Kim Kardashian to surreal art installations, these guys sure know how to bring their songs to life on screen.
