being acknowledged by Wentz on twitter and immediately being like YO PETE FOLIE A DEUX WAS A CLASSIC was one of my shining moments of the last few months

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

i mean lol patrick stump. fuck pete wentz i guess.
Folie A Deux/Soul Punk is probably my favorite pair of back-to-back albums any one person has made in the last decade, it's really heartbreaking to hear the personal toll the reaction to those albums took on Patrick. at least the FOB comeback was kind of a happy conclusion to that period, but it still galls me that the world not only ignored those albums but actively made him miserable about them.

so I know nothing about FOB, but I did d/l this album because ILM, and I had Winamp on shuffle and this bombass awesome rock ballad type song comes on and I'm like what the fuck is this, and it was "What a Catch, Donnie". so different than what I had expected.

Wrong album, but since this is the top FOB thead at the moment - I just heard "Snitches and Talkers..." for he first time today. Good song - new fave, actually - but I was struck by the use of the phrase "why put a new address on the same old loneliness" - doesn't that come from a Songs: Ohia track? I thought at first there was some older common origin they both knicked it from, but some quick googling turned up a thread on a MEC forum where Molina had this to say. Made me a bit sad:
These lyrics were stolen from me. I heard it first on the stereo at the Brown Elephant Charity shop in Chicago. I almost dropped the Elton John records I was buying. It really has hurt my feelings that this band has stolen these lyrics. I am owed.

Err, wrong track, it's at the end of "Get Busy Living..."

pete also borrowed a bunch of lyrics from the cold cave dude on infinity on high

turns out this record is pretty great. think “headfirst slide” is my pick.
― k3vin k., Tuesday, 4 September 2018 04:40 (five years ago) link
Correct choice. I feel like that is perhaps the song on their discography that both captures everything that is archetypally good about this band while also capturing that one of those things is how they're always reaching towards some other archetype (I recognise this is a somewhat paradoxical statement).
― Tim F, Tuesday, 4 September 2018 04:50 (five years ago) link
the build up of "headfirst slide" is one of the best moments on the album
was listening to this again for a few days last week. would still vote "the (shipped) gold standard" & i still love "what a catch, donnie" ... i just really like the big broad sentimental lyrics on this album ("you can only blame your problems on the world for so long / before it all becomes the same old song" and "i've got troubled thoughts and a self-esteem to match"). also other emo vocalists singing back their hooks is oddly affecting to me now.
the one i was loving recently that i never considered a favorite was "she's my winona" ... "the only thing suicidal here is the door" is an all time great wentz lyric & the guitars are really cool throughout
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 4 September 2018 06:05 (five years ago) link
think mine is "winona" too... the band's annotation for the sharp line "we didn't come to compete / this is a demonstration":
"the idea that you are no longer competing. that you believe in yourself so much that its just a demonstration of your will. like a little zen michael jordan."
― lowercase (eric), Tuesday, 4 September 2018 12:33 (five years ago) link
have an esp soft spot for "america's suitehearts" for the way he says "why why why" like it's some sort of scat and elongates "cla-a-a-a-a-assic cars", and "27" the arc of the chorus

We def aren’t hurt about it and weren’t booed off stage ever for it- I wanna set that straight. I think there are ebbs and flows of every creative career... fad is one of my favorite albums of ours. I have the original painting of it I walk by every day ❤️— pw (@petewentz) November 17, 2018

“(coffee’s for closers)” and “disloyal order” are always the peaks for me but this is an album of peaks. “tiffany blews” is an incredible song for instance
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Saturday, 24 November 2018 01:50 (five years ago) link

what is good FOB if you're one of the 10 people on earth who thinks 'young and menace' is p much the best thing he's heard from them

yeah i remember first time i heard it the level of compression made it hard to get into, but the flow p quickly justified that sound for me as an overarching humid atmosphere
