Fall Out Boy Albums - Punks Got Away With Platinum
Many would consider Fall Out Boy albums to be quite young
. After all, the group that generated them only came together in 2001. In music years, that would indeed be considered pretty young. Some would say the group is also short lived.It was only roughly ten years ago when friends Pete Wentz and Joe Trohman, both of whom had some experience with local punk bands, made the decision to form their own group. An opportune meeting with Patrick Stump in a bookstore gave them their third member. T.J. Kunasch and Mike Pareskuwicz were later recruited to complete the original band line up.
The group had no name when it first started playing. Its current name came to light however when an audience member in one of their performances suggested it. The name is in reference to a character in The Simpsons. From here, the story of the punks that got away with platinum officially began. The following year, the group began modestly with the release of a demo, EP and LP. This was to be the start of the makings of a full Fall Out Boy album.
In 2003, Kunasch and Pareskuwicz left the group and Andrew John Hurley came in. This was the year that their first album Take This to Your Grave was released. The album became certified gold but only at a much later date. The band's first real break only came with its second album From Under the Cork Tree in 2005. By this time, the boys had already waited too long for success but the wait was well worth it. The album took the 9th spot in the Billboard 200 and sold more than 60,000 copies in its initial week of release. It didn't take long for it to eventually reach platinum and double platinum status.
The band members followed through on their outstanding success producing more chart topping albums and singles in the succeeding years. Infinity on High came out in 2007 and sold even more copies than their second release. This was followed by Folie a Deux in 2008 and then a greatest hits compilation Believers Never Die in 2009.
For a group that wasn't even a decade old the release of a greatest hits collection seemed premature and fans started to worry about the group's direction. Indeed, the distress that band members felt was not wholly unfounded. Near the end of 2009, the group announced that they would be going on a break. This spurred a huge number of speculative discussions that only added to the confusion as to the group's official status. The mixed messages sent out by band members in social networking sites online did not help ease the apprehension of fans. What was made certain was that the group was not sure what would happen or where it would go.
There may no longer be any Fall Out Boy albums in the making. This is unfortunate considering that the group has the makings of future pop punk legends. For whatever it's worth though, it's obvious that their music will remain relevant at least to one generation of punk music lovers who grew up to their music.
