The Return of Fall Out Boy

yassssss

so far astounding in how it seems to engage with modern pop whoa-whoa bullshit and make it actually great

hahaha holy shit this is great

"Alone Together" first semi-dud imo, children chorus makes it worse not better, but even that sounds so glossy and huge and explosive that it's easy to forgive the retreading. "Phoenix" so insanely good.

i basically pretend this album starts at "alone together" which is prob the most fall out boy thing on here

omg yesyesyes

i will take my fangirl ears off one I get over the excitment of omg a new FOB album imo

this album is just so good

Patrick's voice just gets better and better - he's like the little engine that could

i'm gonna tough it out til next week, ya'll have fun

HOLY SHIT COURTNEY LOVE

hoping that the love cameo is like marilynne faithful on metallica

marilynne faithful lol

i've not heard anything by her outside of her work with metallica, markers where u at

my heart is like a stallion fyi

this hews a lil close to green day for me, terrance malick will prob like it

the title track is prob the most fascinating thing they've ever written

like they wrote a track called "save rock and roll" and not only got elton john to sing on it but also had him sing one of their old lines

so much fist pumping and woo in this I'm loving it

"phoenix" is so massive

otm

never listened to "phoenix" and "my songs" in sequence but man everything is pitched at 100 percent for the first six minutes of this record

i love that run of the final 3 tracks at the end -- especially RatTatTat fkn courtney fuck yeah

i love when elton john pronounces "love" as "LUFF"

though I kinda wish this was 70's elton, his oldman elton low voice is a bit jarring at first

i never think of pete wentz as a bass player but that's a great bass line in "where did the party go" (a realization i come to whenever i listen to "w.a.m.s" also)

"where did the party go" and esp "miss missing you" are full prom dance

lol yes

it is with out a doubt the first record in a new chapter of fall out boy. we made this music for ourselves and no one else at the end of the day. this is meant be played loud, with the windows down on summer nights. four friends with our backs to each other fighting in the darkness against anything and everything that is out there. we bowed our heads, took a knee and plugged back in.

haha god dammit i love this band so much

got nothing but extremely entertained lols for "the mighty fall"

good simple plan bite, big sean

"oh how the mighty fall / in love" is such a classic wentz lyric

the 'took a knee and plugged in' line made me irl lol so hard

"young volcanoes" is so good, i hear so many singles on this record

my girlfriend likened "young volcanoes" to train which has momentarily ruined the song for me

like they wrote a track called "save rock and roll" and not only got elton john to sing on it but also had him sing one of their old lines

i guess i don't know whether to roll my eyes or to fist pump and cheer at somebody writing a song about the state of rock n roll in... 2013

nb without having heard the actual song, obv

lol i was re-reading the infinity on high thread this weekend and i compared "what a catch" to train u_u

"young volcanoes" sounds like the most blatant fun. rip on the record tho

dudes you should've seen the way my eyes glimmered at the start of "miss missing you"

yeah the first time i heard that i was like "ah man brad's gonna die when he hears this"

love young volcanoes so much

I'll take a FOB fun. ripoff every single time over hearing fun. soulessly whoaohhhh ever again

I WANNA SEE YOUR ANIMAAAAALLLL SIDE
LET IT ALL OUUUUUUUT

Not sure if this is outside the scope of the conversation, but has anybody written anything about how FOB became such a critically respected, "important" band? I don't really understand that POV, but I'm interesting in learning how the consensus changed so drastically

don't worry, they really haven't

the answer is Dom xp

critics have always mostly liked them ime

meanwhile, it's courtney bitch

omg the sample of "chicago is so two years ago" on the title track.

oh shi I didn't even notice

Wow @ this record. Up to Just One Yesterday...

i think the biggest roadblock for me w/ this record is how much i loved Stump's solo album and his lyric writing that going back to hearing him as the mouthpiece for rmde Wentz witticisms feels like a downgrade
