I'm a classic rock fan myself (The Beatles and Styx are my two favorite bands), but this band is my third favorite! They are completely different and original. The song This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race repeats the phrase: 'This ain't a scene It's a godd*mn arms race' And the song Hum Halleluia has the lines 'My words are my faith to h*ll with our good name' and 'Hired a construction crew 'cause it's h*ll on the engine' Another song, Bang the Doldrums I think, says 'This city says come h*ll or high water well I'm feeling hot and wet' That's three uses of h*ll, not one as the review says! Also at some points the lyrics make no sense, except in poetic sense such as Golden's 'Tongues on the sockets of electric dreams where the sewage of youth drowns the spark of my teens' And the song Carpal Tunnel of Love has many, including, but not limited too: 'Stomp out this disaster town' 'We keep the beat with your blistered feet and we bullet the words at the mocking birds singing slept through the weekend and dreamed of sinkin' with the melody of the cliffs of eternity got post cards from my former selves saying how you been? And we might have started saying goodbye just a little soon we're throwing stones at a glass moon Whoah we're so miserable and stunning Whoah love songs for the geniunely cunning' 'It was all ice cream headaches and sweet avalanche but we're the pearls and our shells got up to dance' 'Yawns for fawns on hunters lawns we're the has beens of husbands sharpening the knives of young wives take two years off and call me when your better take tears of mine and find yourself wetter' The song Golden is actually a piano ballad and The(After)Life of the Party has a calm feel. My favorite is Don't You Know Who I Think I Am? 'A penny for your thoughts but a dollar for your insides and a fortune for your disaster I'm just a painter and I'm drawing a blank We only want to sing you to sleep in your bedroom speakers whoah get me just right They say quitters never win but we walk the plank on a sinking ship there's a world out side of my front door that gets off on being down I could learn to pity fools as I'm the worst of all and I can't stop feeling sorry for myself whoah We only want to sing you to sleep in your bedroom speakers whoah get us right They say quitters never win but we walk the plank on a sinking ship there's a world outside of my front door that gets off on being down They say quitters never win but we walk the plank on a sinking ship there's a world outside of my front door that gets off on being down They say quitters never win but we walk the plank and we walk the plank ...' Or something like that. That's almost the end but I'm tired of typing. I hope this review helped!

What Parents Need to Know
About Infinity on High
Parents need to know that this alt rock album contains some mild sexual references such as "conjugal visits" and "one-night stand." There's also some very soft profanity ("goddamed" and "hell") as well as a couple of references to taking pills and passing out.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the pros and cons of fame and success -- a recurring theme throughout the album. Would you be grateful or resentful of the positive and negative attention that goes hand-in-hand with becoming a sudden celebrity? How can you hold on to some sort of normalcy when you're famous? Families can also discuss how this band plays with language to create interesting and clever song titles such as "The Carpal Tunnel of Love" and "Bang the Doldrums."

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!!!
i LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! IT NEVER GETS OLD THIS IS THE BEST CD BY THE BEST BAND EVER! GO BUY IT NOW! seriously the lyrics make me want to cry they're so amazing. every word has some deep meaning you can only get the second or third time you listen to it. hum halleluja (spelling?) is absolutely the awesomest song i have heard in my life. And no, the band is not emo, but it IS considered alternative. Which is not a bad thing! but if u do buy it, look in the cover packet on the Cd and turn to the last page. that is the most amazing picture of Pete Wentz. Ashlee Simpson doest know how lucky she is. LOL anyway...perfect for absolutely anyone who is sick of shallow elementary junk they play these days. i am obsessed with Fall Out Boy.
