fall out boy - folie à deux poll

are we gonna have some kind of Monumentour fap or multi-show ilx road trip?

omg

as soon as we hit the hospital i know we're gonna leave this town
and get new passports and get, get, get, get, get out now

wish i didn't i didn't i didn't i didn't i didn't i didn't i didn't i don't
just want to be a footnote
in someone else's happiness

little girl, you got me staring odd
or was that just a telescopic camera nod

the fact that disloyal order of water buffaloes didn't win this is blasphemous, even if coffee for closers is also pretty fuckin great

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.

it's a jam! that's my favorite song on the album

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

really tender detail about the elton john records there. dang

head like a steel trap
wish i didn't
i didn't
i didn't
i didn't
i didn't
i didn't
i didn't
i don't

...just want to be a footNOTE in someone else's happinesssss

def the best FOB song

the only thing suicidal here is the door

turns out this record is pretty great. think “headfirst slide” is my pick.

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).

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

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."

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

("too" as in also recent appreciation)

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 ❤️

“(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

aw

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

i'm not
a crybaby
i'm

legendary

lj you may like this album? the instrumentation is very traditionally rock but the songs are all weird and extremely catchy

will listen tomorrow ty

it’s such a good album in the classic sense ie you can listen all the way through & the songs all flow together well etc

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

was listening to this recently... still really holds up

still crazy to me "she's my winona" got 0 votes

the high hopes song that is on the radio 24/7 now sounds like it could be on this album imo

you could have knocked

come together
come apart

never the same person when i go to sleep
