Customer Reviews Funny Story... I just knew that I saw these guys play on some crappy side stage and they deserved further listening. About 2 years ago when I came into possession of this fine CD I had no idea that it was the special edition. So when I saw the CD in my local Sam Goody I picked it up. When I got home I saw the sticker that said only 5,000 copies were produced. The first thing I thought was not, "Oh, I'm so lucky. " No, I thought, "How did this CD end up in some crappy little town whose only claim to fame is a Super Wal-Mart?" Needless to say, I had no idea these guys would blow up as big as they did. Now, onto the CD itself. Take This To Your Grave is a solid piece of work. Nothing particularly original, but sounds pretty great for cruising around during the summer. I personally enjoyed listening to it in my garage. It is battle scarred from dropping it outside many times. The extra features are what I really like though. I don't care what band it is, I love listening to breakdowns of the songs, and Fall Out Boy's explainations are quite entertaining to say the least. The "Saturday" music video is pretty nice too. Probably my favorite of all their videos to date. Regardless of theses extra features it still isn't worth paying more than $20 for. I can't see why you would even want to hunt down this version unless you are a hardcore fan. I guess it is sort of ironic that a casual fan has a hold of this and so many die-hard fans don't. . Take This To Your Grave Again in 2005 With that said, if you liked the original release of the CD you'll probably enjoy this version, along with the 12 original songs there are two bonus songs. Before you run out & attempt to buy this CD read first, this is a re-mastering of Fall Out Boy's first major label release under Fueled By Ramen "Take This To Your Grave" it isn't their upcomming album slated to come out sometime this yr. . . a dance remix of "Grand Theft Autumn" (which a snipet of can also be heard on the DVD of their last EP) and a cover of the song "Roxanne" by The Police. . . the cover is very good and the remix is just an upbeat dance in your car kinda song. . . If you're a big Fall Out Boy fan you'll probably buy this album to support them or for the extra features, because on the enhanced portion of the CD Pete, Patrick, Joe, and Andy break down the songs word by word and note for note. . . also included is the music video for track 4 "Saturday" and a few other humerous snipets. . . Along with the CD you'll recieve Fueled By Ramen's 04/05 Summer sampler featuring other great acts like Punchline, The Academy Is, and Gym Class heroes. . . as well as a few FOB tracks. . . Overall even if you're not a huge fan you'll probably enjoy it. Maybe. Other than that, the remix is found on the previous EP. It's OK if you're a true Fall Out Boy fan. It is interesting to hear about the songs, though, I must admit. As for the other review. She doesn't know a thing what she's talking about. Fueled By Ramen is under Island Records, which Fall Out Boy signed to. Their first record on the label "Take This To Your Grave" was to be on Fueld By Ramen and if they succeeded they would be moved to Island Records. That's how it's going for their new release. .
