Chicago band Fall Out Boy's second album marked their leap from cult status into full-blown mainstream, a blast of pop-punk that carried emo's sharp wit and suburban angst into the charts. Remastered and newly pressed to single vinyl, it still bristles with hooks and bratty charm. 'Sugar, We're Goin Down' and 'Dance, Dance' remain the calling cards - both built around Joe Trohman's churning guitars and Patrick Stump's elastic vocals - but the deep cuts underline why this record hit so hard. 'Nobody Puts Baby in the Corner' balances jagged riffs with wounded melodrama, 'Sophomore Slump or Comeback of the Year' sneers with meta self-awareness, and 'A Little Less Sixteen Candles, A Little More "Touch Me"' sharpens the band's knack for theatrical choruses. Revisiting it now, the energy feels undimmed: a brash, hyper-verbal statement of intent that defined mid-2000s pop-punk and set the template for the band's rise beyond the Warped Tour circuit.
