Fall Out Boy is bringing a more urban feel to pop-punk and Tyrone Wells has got soul-power. We're checking out both albums to find out if they're worth your hard-earned allowance!

Fall Out Boy - Infinity on High

Fall Out Boy's pop-punk sound heads much more towards the "pop" end of the spectrum on their latest album Infinity on High. While many of the lyrics can be a bit too earnest and full of celebrity-induced self-importance, the band's sweet-meets-reckless sound is hard to pass over. Infinity on High is a must-have album for anyone who likes their pop-punk served with a healthy portion of hip-hop.

If you can't get enough of bands like Maroon 5 and Counting Crows, Hold On is sure to please.
