"when Fall Out Boy released their debut album Take This to Your Grave in 2003, pop punk was alternative while also gaining mainstream popularity. Some of the most widely-loved albums of the genre were all released in the early 2000s. However the Chicago lads debut was a different pop punk album. Under-appreciated on first release, Take This To Your Grave is now considered a mainstay of the genre; in part for the things that made it hard for critics and audiences to get their head round in the first place."
