On their most adventurous album, Def Jam president Jay-Z introduces quot;Thriller,quot; while Kenneth quot;Babyfacequot; Edmonds produces groove-heavy hit quot;This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Racequot; and quot;Thnks fr th Mmrs.quot; with this album the band remains true to their punk-pop roots. Whether spicing up their recipe with R&B swagger or playing it straight, FOB are at their best when they crank up the volume.
