For the follow-up to 2007’s smash hit, Infinity on High, Fall Out Boyare looking at a sonic departure, swapping their pop-punk renderingsfor a taste of Brit-pop. “I think the one aspect we’re bringing to therecord is something Oasis did a lot, where they’d play these reallydistorted, awesome riffs, and they’d have an acoustic guitar over theentire song,” bassist Pete Wentz told MTV.com.”It kind of brings this great sense of melody and softness to a songthat would otherwise just totally be a rock song.” Cocaine-fueledegomania optional.
