Review

"From Under the Cork Tree," Fall Out Boy's sophomore masterpiece, is the thunderbolt that shot the band straight into the limelight. Dropping on May 3, 2005, this major label debut polished up their sound while keeping that raw emotional edge. Pete Wentz's lyrics cut deep into themes of anxiety and depression, laying bare his personal battles, while Patrick Stump's musical composition matured like a fine punk rock wine. With tracks like "Sugar, We’re Goin Down" and "Dance, Dance" cracking the Billboard Hot 100's top ten, these anthems hammered Fall Out Boy's mark into mainstream territory.

This album truly ripped through both hearts and charts, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and UK Albums Chart. It’s not just a commercial juggernaut—selling over two million copies in the US and seven million globally—but a defining moment in the emo-punk and pop-punk scenes. *Rolling Stone* even hailed it as one of the "40 Greatest Emo Albums of All Time." This record has more staying power than a cockroach in a nuclear apocalypse, constantly resurfacing on the charts and proving that "From Under the Cork Tree" is a cornerstone of the genre. Still feeling its tremors today, this album is a bona fide classic. - Sydney
