In my top 100 above all sorts of classics, blah blah blah. These songs, for the most part, are catchy as chlamydia, and even well written most of the time. There are most certainly better albums out there, but this is as sentimental a favorite as it gets for me. "Of All the Gin Joints in All the World," "Champagne for Real Friends, Real Pain for Your Sham Friends," "A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More 'Touch Me,'" and "XO" are all among Fall Out Boy's best songs.

One of the greatest punk-pop albums of all time. The last rock band to rule pop radio stations.

Oh, it is difficult to rate this album, since it's one of the ones that defined my puberty. And damn if this isn't a catchy album, and I'll probably keep listening to it for as long as I like pop punk. BUT there is not very much in terms of variety in the album, and the sound itself, while instantly noticeable thanks to Pete's voice, is not really anything new. Objectively: 3/5. Subjectively: 4/5.

Too often compared with the masterpiece A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. I didn't hate this album. But I didn't love it either. Actually, I quite enjoyed Folie A Deux, which is strange considering that many people hate that album. But oh well. Personal tastes differ.

Of all the pop-punk that stood the test of time, this stands above it all. Insanely catchy, fun, well-written, with great variety front to back. Not to mention one of the best vocalists of the time. Just pure, inoffensive, high-energy pop-punk.

Killer melodies and hooks throughout, and consistent right the way through.

Breakdowns that really capture the raw hormonal energy of the teens it was written for. Makes you feel like you're in a simpler time when your only problem is the girl you like not texting you back.

No boring moments, and I'm never mad if this album comes on. There's better albums out there, sure, but then why am I always reaching for this one?

This is true peak pop-punk. You don't get this anymore. Where did music go that's happy AND makes you want to headbang?? Where are all the GUITARS in pop music? It can be done!

Highlights: XO, Of All the Gin Joints (Edited)
