Fall Out Boy recently spoke to Billboard about their new album, Infinity on High. The record is the follow up to their multi-platinum major label debut, From Under The Cork Tree.

Guitarist Patrick Stump explained:

From song to song there's a completely different feel, but they all make sense in context. They've got a few common points, but overall there's a lot of different voices and perspectives and styles. It would be dishonest for us to hold back any of these elements.

Stump described the album's first single "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" as "a hip-hop/R&B song, but written as a punk song.." Beyond that, he mentions a "borderline classic rock" as well as a greater use of piano, as well as strings and horns, though he claims that "we were really restrained about it. " Guests confirmed so far include hip hop producer Jay-Z, Panic! At the Disco's Ryan Ross and New Found Glory's Chad Gilbert.

The record is due out on February 6th, 2007.
