the title track is prob the most fascinating thing they've ever written
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 April 2013 16:07 (eleven years ago) link
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

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)
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 8 April 2013 16:47 (eleven years ago) link
"where did the party go" and esp "miss missing you" are full prom dance

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

― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 8 April 2013 16:53 (eleven years ago) link
good simple plan bite, big sean
"oh how the mighty fall / in love" is such a classic wentz lyric

"young volcanoes" is so good, i hear so many singles on this record
― J0rdan S., Monday, 8 April 2013 16:54 (eleven years ago) link
my girlfriend likened "young volcanoes" to train which has momentarily ruined the song for me

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"
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 8 April 2013 16:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah the first time i heard that i was like "ah man brad's gonna die when he hears this"

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
― Evan R, Monday, 8 April 2013 17:03 (eleven years ago) link
don't worry, they really haven't

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

Wow @ this record. Up to Just One Yesterday...
― MikoMcha, Monday, 8 April 2013 17:15 (eleven years ago) link
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

Just interviewed Messrs Stump and Wentz for a podcast. Not a band I've ever taken much notice of, but genuinely delightful interviewees.

man, i wish i had your problems. i tried so damn hard with stump solo, really i did. wanted to love it, but could barely manage grudging respect. glad to see FOB back together.

there are ways in which the instrumentation/production doesn't remotely measure up to the band's, but as a showcase for his songwriting/vocals i thought it was pretty stellar.

man almost none of those records conform to the "sent musicians back to their main bands" narrative
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Tuesday, 9 April 2013 13:42 (eleven years ago) link
xxp, yeah that's fair. the production and arrangements sabotage what could (and should) have been a much better album.
