The Return of Fall Out Boy

the corrected tracklist makes sense to me "stay frosty" is kinda weird as track 3 but is a storming opener

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kqSj_BKuUc

for some reason they only uploaded the clean version of this song to youtube

anyway as usual with nu-FOB album tracks >>>>>> singles, thank god (speaking of which, lol at all the religious sounds/imagery)

"bishop's knife trick" is mayyyyyyybe their best closer

enhhhh the closer was the best thing on the last one so I'm not at all ready to say that

i'm right simon

Man this is reaaaaally good! Excitingly so

Like it’s not Folie ~amazing~ but there’s really no skippable tracks on this for me so far. American Psycho was v patchy & took me a while to warm up, so it’s good to be hooked in from the get go again. Maybe closer to Saves Rock N Roll?
anyway i’ve gone through this twice already today, no signs of stopping

Love Patrick’s singing on Heaven’s Gate

why is it rearranged on streaming services? i noticed a similar thing happened with 21 savage's album last year, but then it seemed like it was because of which songs were getting the most plays right off the bat to inflate full-album playthroughs. is this going to start becoming a thing?

hmm, never mind, i found this tweet from pete.

No no. It’s a long story why it’s going to be wrong in iTunes for a few weeks- it’s just how their system ingested the songs we already put out.

it is extremely frustrating trying to tell anyone that this band is good

(audience: "well brad then they should make better music")

i am totally obsessed with this record and i think it's def their best since folie, someone pls talk to me about it lol

I wish I liked it as much. I do think it's better than AB/AP but I kinda long for the (relatively) spacious sound of SRAR. and I still hate "Champion" and "Hold Me Tight Or Don't" a lot. and "Wilson" sounds a bit like "YOLO" to me lol

"Heaven's Gate" and "Church" make a v nice pairing and are definitely right up there with their best material

thinking Stump should do a devotional r&b followup to Soul Punk

yeah I would love him to an album of slow soul covers

Gave into this despite actively disliking all the pre-release songs. Skipped to the first track I hadn't heard, supposed album opener Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea (track listing still not updated on Spotify). "Are you smelling that shit? Are you smelling that shit?" I don't want to smell that shit, Patrick.

eau de resistance

ew de resistance

EAU
DEH
RESIS
TOWNCE

it is a v corny chorus

don't do this much anymore but ahem

WOKE UP ON THE WRONG SIDE
OF P-PARADISE
WHEN I SAY I'M SORRY I'M LATE
I WASN'T SHOWING UP AT ALL

I REALLY MEAN I DIDN'T PLAN ON SHOWING UP AT ALL

(also hope there is some ilx fall out boy/gene wolfe fandom overlap btw cuz I'LL STOP WEARING BLACK WHEN THEY MAKE A DARKER COLOR)

having a very belated moment with this song

speaking of belated, Brad was right and I was wrong about "Bishops Knife Trick"

i'm always right

^^^

they surprise dropped an ep today, one of the tracks is a reworking of a folie-era track, "lake effect kid"

fall out boy are back baby

tim f and j0rdan s. to thread

pretty solid! I like the title track a lot.

remind me to put this song on my ballot for the ilm 77

fuuuuck yes

Patrick sounds so fucking good, it’s crazy that he keeps getting incrementally better, like idk where the ceiling is but yay everbody wins

Love From The Other Side out everywhere January 18th ✨ lots more to come soon ✨ pic.twitter.com/i2mnFYbZ57

:D

encouraging that the clip sounds infinity on high-vintage but also like one of the post-hiatus firehoses of hooks a la "the phoenix"/"novocaine"... i guess what i'm saying is i hope the new album sounds like their discog collapsing on itself

lol! yeah the clip def gave me throwback vibes and I am not mad about that at all!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBrkbWSB3Ls

song is awesome

prepared to call it their best lead single since ... idk, "arms race"?

i'll never go
i just want to be invited - oh!

Good listen, it's true.

1. Love From the Other Side
2. Heartbreak Feels So Good
3. Hold Me Like A Grudge
4. Fake Out
5. Heaven, Iowa
6. So Good Right Now
7. The Pink Seashell ft. Ethan Hawke
8. I Am My Own Muse
9. Flu Game
10. Baby Annihilation
11. The Kintsugi Kid (Ten Years)
12. What A Time To Be Alive
13. So Much (For) Stardust

I hope number 7 is a dramatic recitation of the tour rider

2. Heartbreak Feels So Good

ft. Nicole Kidman

A lot of the even numbered song titles seem like the upshots of the preceding odd numbered song titles.

“I didn’t want to go back to a specific style, but I wanted to imagine what would it have sounded like if we had made a record right after ‘Folie à Deux’ [Fall Out Boy’s divisive 2009 album] instead of taking a break for a few years,” said Stump. “It was like exploring the multiverse. It was an experiment in seeing what we would have done.”

genuinely can’t believe this is happening

are we being blessed w a miracle?

new song rules btw

new song deserves all the acclaim it seems to be getting, but it's also a bittersweet reminder to me of how badly the world failed their last lead single, aka the sickest song ever written

the one second of guitar at 3:15 ripped open the gates of hell and smothered me
