also one of the other voters (not Tim) writes for Pitchfork! but i really think they never would've run a review no matter who pitched it when, that's how they roll for better or worse

Would it be fair to say that this was FOB's Hysteria (in artistic, not commercial, terms)?

voted 'What A Catch' because the hook in that chorus, and Stump's vox...the whole thing still slays me.
and I get such a huge kick out of the arc of those 4 albums. Cork and Infinity kind of blend together for me, and then Grave and Folie are the nice raw/polished bookends. Love me some FOB.

I can't remember if I voted now! I thought I did. (However, I've been playing this almost constantly since I downloaded it. So the thread was definitely not a waste.)
Did two other people vote for "Coffee's for Closers"?
― EveningStar (Sund4r), Saturday, 11 February 2012 02:46 (1 year ago) Permalink

i've been listening to 'cork tree' this week... cool record, def like it less than the two that followed tho. it's funny to hear them so pop punk, like some drum sounds that could be on a blink record, and then there's these two MASSIVE singles. "nobody puts baby in the corner" is my favorite song even tho it has some o__O lyrics all over the place... esp the outro
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 11 February 2012 05:35 (1 year ago) Permalink
or i guess it's a bridge
I really like Infinity the more I listen to it...everything sounds so big & meaty

Yet another album I never would have listened to without ILM.

I still kind of have mixed feelings about it though.

blows my mind that there's a rock song w/ Lil Wayne on it that's actually pretty great

Jay-Z intro to Infinity On High is another awesome/bizarre moment...
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 16 September 2012 12:50 (9 months ago) Permalink
that Jay cameo being so awkward and half-assed is the reason why the Wayne cameo surprised me

Well yeah, the Wayne cameo is obviously far superior.
I only realized this morning that Pharrell produced Folie à Deux.

Pretty great Debbie Harry AND Lil Wayne cameos on this (compared to, I guess, Liza Minnelli turning up on Black Parade?)

Ah, OK. You're right. I was reading an old review of the record this morning that seemed to imply he did the whole thing.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 16 September 2012 13:45 (9 months ago) Permalink
it was an extreme pleasure to discover the two "new" tracks on the believers never die comp, which i had never listened to before, are as good as anything on folie
