Infinity on High is the fourth studio album of Fall Out Boy. It is the follow up to 2005's From Under the Cork Tree. The title is taken from a letter written by Vincent van Gogh to his brother Theo in 1888. In the letter, van Gogh describes his renewed health and the vigor it has instilled in his painting. The line that inspired the title is "Be clearly aware of the stars and infinity on high. Then life seems almost enchanted after all." [1]
The album was originally planned for release at the end of 2006, but lead singer Patrick Stump said, in an interview with Kerrang!, that the album's European release date had been pushed back to February 5, 2007, meaning that the United States release date would be February 6, 2007.
On November 9, 2006, the first clip from the album surfaced. The song "The Carpal Tunnel of Love" was added as a stream on the Fall Out Boy artist profile at AbsolutePunk.net. The song was given to the site by Fall Out Boy, themselves, as part of their promise to the site to give them the first clip from the album. On December 12 2006 the song "The Carpal Tunnel Of Love" was added on iTunes for download as a single, despite the fact that "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" is the first single off of the album.
