Though the band originally promised a "late fall" release for their second major label full length, band bassist and spokesman Pete Wentz recently told MTV that a 2007 release is more likely, with a single due out before the end of the year.

The reason for the delay? "There was just too much sh-- going on" says Wentz. He also attributes much of the delay to shakeups at the band's label:

We've been ready to record for about the last three weeks, but there's been, um, if I go into specifics, I'll get into trouble. here have been some changes at our label, a little bit of strangeness there. Half the phone numbers I have for people at the label don't have people on the other end of them anymore. It slowed us slightly, but we're getting back up to speed.

The band is planning to enter the studio with producer Neal Avron (not Babyface) by the end of the week, with 20 songs ready to record. Wentz also promises vocals that are "straight-up Motown."

The album will be the follow up to the band's breakthrough From Under The Cork Tree. And for those keeping track, Matt Groening still hasn't sued as some were predicting back in 2003.
