The first two tracks have grown on me but so far, this does not click with me anywhere near as much as Folie a Deux. No "Disloyal Order" or "Coffee's for Closers" here. (Admittedly, Folie took a little while to grow on me too.)

that album was super immediate for me. happy to give this one time, though.

i like how it sounds like she's doing the token Pete screamo rant of the album

it kinda reminds me of the distorted PA shouting off of danger days

This album kinda reminds me of Marilyn Manson's Mechanical Animals, in a good way.

the drum outro on 'young volcanoes' makes me wish that fall out boy would cover 'monk chant' ... the thought of which is exploding my brain

I missed out on the brief emo canon tangent above, but I would nominate Midtown's debut as a dark horse candidate

OK, I'm pretty hooked right now. "Young Volcanoes" is the only one I skip. "Alone Together" is pretty great. I'm not sure which R&B artist it reminds me of.

"Alone Together" is pretty great but WTF at skipping "Young Volcanoes".

Updated thoughts now that I am the proud owner of this album
a)Young Volcanoes is proof that fun. should be fired. Go peddle yr lameass whoa hoa hoas elsewhere, fun. FOB OWNS U
b)Miss Missing You makes me want to go to prom. who wants to take me to prom

i was driving from NY to Philly yesterday and falling asleep at the wheel -- blasting this album really loud and singing along surely saved my life

yes but next is even better: "you know time crawls on while you're waiting for the song to start, so dance alone to the beat of your heart"

i'm still waiting for this album to click, has not really hooked me.

it took me what seemed forever to love the first half but here we are
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 3 May 2013 23:05 (eleven years ago) link
once "miss missing you" kicked in i saw hearts though (evidence upthread)
yeah i might only like 1/2 of this or so but its def clicked - 'phoenix', 'miss missing you' & 'where did the party go' are undeniable jams
― johnny crunch, Friday, 3 May 2013 23:11 (eleven years ago) link
"the mighty fall": awesome and funny
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 3 May 2013 23:20 (eleven years ago) link
"just one yesterday": was so put off by the adele-isms at first but the chorus is deepened necessarily by foxes
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Friday, 3 May 2013 23:22 (eleven years ago) link
yeah that is prob my favorite song so far
― Ship Lion (some dude), Friday, 3 May 2013 23:22 (eleven years ago) link
the middle hasn't clicked at all yet but first three + last two are all time
― 乒乓, Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:00 (eleven years ago) link
the album feels like both an elegy and a paean to losing their youth
― 乒乓, Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:01 (eleven years ago) link
"where did the party go", "alone together", "miss missing you" and especially "rat a tat" and "save rock and roll" can stand up with the best stuff of IOH & FAD
some of the other tracks aren't as great but i mean this thing bangs front to back in what feels like 20 minutes
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:12 (eleven years ago) link
i'm not really a lyrics guy but the lyrics to both 'rat a tat' and 'save rock n roll' vibrate a chord w/n me so much

i think 'folie a deux' was the former... this album is just really energetic and ecstatic about moving forward imo
― J0rdan S., Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:14 (eleven years ago) link
hmm, maybe i'm just too colored in by 'rat a tat', which seems to be about loving like you're 16 when you're actually 30
― 乒乓, Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:15 (eleven years ago) link
thats the new avril single, which also bangs
― johnny crunch, Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:18 (eleven years ago) link
i definitely like how the album ends -- Elton by far the best stunt casting on an FOB album yet
― Ship Lion (some dude), Saturday, 4 May 2013 00:20 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, am reaaaalllly feeling Save Rock N Roll now, that chorus hook hits like a hammer

imo The Phoenix thru Just One Yesterday is pretty perfect -big sean kills the momentum
