Pete Wentz On Infinity On High: “This One Was Strange”

Pete Wentz has posted a short blog reflecting on Fall Out Boy’s Infinity On High.

The pop-rock titans celebrated the 10th anniversary of their third album’s release, and Pete has admitted “it was odd how everything was changing but it felt like we were in a time capsule…” and how the full-length reminds him of night time.

Check out the full post below, and let us know your Infinity On High memories in the comments!

this one was strange. it was transitional. If FUCT was the caterpillar album- Infinity On High was the cocoon one. we had been on tour around the world nonstop but hadn’t really seen any of the magazine covers we were on or had any perspective of seeing our videos on TRL- it was odd how everything was changing but it felt like we were in a time capsule… this record would bring so many ideas from jay z doing the intro to working with baby face on “thnks fr th mmrs” to the flight 101 saga (3 shows in a day in ny, chicago, and la)… but first and foremost it documented this blur that had become our lives. this record more than any of the others has always reminded me of night time- both the anxiety of insomnia and the peace of being awake when everyone else is asleep. i remember before we released it i used like a security blanket listening and trying to fall asleep. i really appreciate everyone who gave this one a chance.
