From Under the Cork Tree Songwriting Credits by Fall Out Boy

From Under the Cork Tree is the second studio album by Fall Out Boy, released in May 2005 on Island Records and produced by Neal Avron. It was the commercial breakthrough that made emo-pop punk a mainstream chart genre and established Stump's vocal range and Wentz's confessional lyrical compression as the defining dual voice of mid-2000s alternative rock. Stump and Wentz wrote all material; 'Sugar, We're Goin Down' and 'Dance, Dance' were the dual commercial singles, both reaching the top twenty on the Billboard Hot 100, the former spending 12 weeks in the top ten; together they made Fall Out Boy the first emo band to have multiple simultaneous major pop crossover hits. From Under the Cork Tree has been certified four-times platinum in the United States, reached number nine on the Billboard 200, and spent over two years on the chart; it won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Group Video. The album is widely regarded as the definitive emo-pop album and the record that demonstrated the genre's mainstream commercial viability. The album's enduring commercial and critical legacy reflects its role as the document that demonstrated emo-pop punk could operate at the scale of mainstream rock radio without sacrificing the emotional authenticity that distinguished the genre from conventional pop, and its influence on subsequent alternative rock and pop production is audible across a decade of commercial music.
