Infinity on High, Fall Out Boy's third album, arrived in February 2007, recorded at Pass Studios in Los Angeles between July and October 2006, with Patrick Stump writing the music and Pete Wentz the words, as ever. What wasn't as ever was everything else: the band that came out of Chicago's hardcore scene brought in new producers and guests like Babyface and Jay-Z, and let horns, violins and piano crash the party alongside flirtations with R&B, soul and even flamenco.
Pop-punk is still the skeleton, but this is a band going big and glossy, Stump belting like a soul man while Joe Trohman and Andy Hurley keep the punch in, and Wentz writing lyrics that critics heard as a reply to the band's own sudden fame. "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs" were the hits. It entered the Billboard 200 at number one, their first chart-topper, with more than 260,000 sold in its first week.
