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 (twelve years ago) link
i voted 'coffees 4 closers'
couldve easily voted 'headfirst slide' & cant blieve it got 0 votes
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 11 February 2012 02:54 (twelve years ago) link

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 (twelve years ago) link
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.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 16 September 2012 12:45 (eleven years ago) link
I still kind of have mixed feelings about it though.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 16 September 2012 12:46 (eleven years ago) link
blows my mind that there's a rock song w/ Lil Wayne on it that's actually pretty great
― nutrition aziz (some dude), Sunday, 16 September 2012 12:47 (eleven years ago) link
Jay-Z intro to Infinity On High is another awesome/bizarre moment...
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 16 September 2012 12:50 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― MikoMcha, Sunday, 16 September 2012 13:04 (eleven years ago) link
he only did "w.a.m.s."

Pretty great Debbie Harry AND Lil Wayne cameos on this (compared to, I guess, Liza Minnelli turning up on Black Parade?)
― etc, Sunday, 16 September 2012 13:30 (eleven years ago) link
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 (eleven years ago) link
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

haha i can never keep the titles on cork tree straight; is this the one that goes SO WEAR ME LIKE A LOCKET AROUND YOUR THROAT / I'LL WEIGH YOU DOWN I'LL WATCH YOU CHOKE / YOU LOOK SO GOOD IN BLUE / YOU LOOK SOOOOO GOOD IN BLUUUUUUUUUUUUUUE cuz yeah
i prefer cork to infinity (i don't blame you / for being you / but you can't blame me / for HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATING it) but folie is another thing entirely. singing along to this band is The Most Fun, Ever
