The Return of Fall Out Boy

have to keep reminding myself that i've never liked their pre-album singles as much as the albums or later singles

i'm often down on singles and then like the albums or vice versa if that's what you mean. i like to think i'm willing to change my mind or admit when i've been wrong but i dunno if something like what you're describing actually happens that often! unless jokes i make about artists i like just come off harsh, i guess. examples?

If Panic at the Disco would reform with the same 4 dudes from their first 2 albums I would probably care and listen.

haha well I think I said that in a fit of pique - I don't have somedude.xls open but since I started following your blog a few months ago I def felt p surprised at how highly ranked you had some songs which I had a vague memory of you shitting on here on ILM. I'll let you know if I catch you slippin xp

Yeah it's all good. I'm just curious now if those are apparent inconsistencies I can easily explain or that I'm totally unaware of! Singles tend to change a lot for me from first listen to fiftieth, which is prob how it should be imo.

i feel confident in saying that this will probably be the only album ever to feature both big sean and elton john

last album was probably the only album to ever feature both lil wayne and elvis costello (...nobody really famous to contrast w/ jay-z or babyface on the album before that though)

the producer credits!

that's the wayne/elvis one thoug

pharrell only produced "w.a.m.s."

oh my god i never knew babyface produced "i'm like a lawyer"

i feel confident in saying that this will probably be the only album ever to feature both big sean and elton john

tho it was pointed out to me on twitter that MBDTF had elton john + 15 other guests, but curiously no big sean

lol ppl be adding fake song titles to the save rock and roll wiki

""Every Time I Dye My Hair, the Ladies Say, "Hot Damn!""

i was thinking of a fall out boy-ish poll thread title but couldn't think of anything besides puns involving pole dancing

haha it's a shame FOB didn't announce the tracklist for this well ahead of the release date, could've been a good ILX pre-covers project

there is the offish "all of the lights" remix w/ big sean, which i assume still has elton's piano in the mix although who knows

I kinda dug "My Songs..." so I'm disappointed "The Phoenix" sounds like what I expected (which makes it a comeback after all, I guess).

"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark" doesn't sound all that great on the radio. The goofiness in the chorus stopped being funny somewhere around the 3rd listen, and nothing else in this song has grown into anything especially rewarding.

it sounded good as a 6 second bumper wherever i heard it yesterday, espn maybe

Maybe it's too long.

most songs are

it's only 3 minutes! i think it's ok as a single, no better or worse than, like, "I Don't Care."

my joke was bad. suggesting the song should be edited down to 6 seconds.

ha oh that went over my head

what they do with the instrumental there is pretty cool imo i like it a lot more than the OG track

save for the "trap" drums

hi-hats worked fine on the track, i thought

yeah they sound okay but maybe a bit obvious

yaeh i like the instrumentation on this. 2 chinaz sounds like hes sleepwalking tho

2 chinaz!

haha i typo'd that and immediately regretted having given up display names / not being active enough on twitter to change my name to that

these new synths are some lil' jon synths imo

2 fine chinaz

i dig it

courtney love sounds amazing on this album fyi

i'm harboring a suspicion that big sean is on this album simply to say "fall out...*boyyiyiyyyii*"

lmao

(this album is awesome btw)

i'm kind of getting emotional over the fact that pete wrote the lyric "blood brothers in desperation"

"Young Volcanoes" is pretty great, although it kinda confirms my suspicion that they've spent the last year stewing with Ruess envy

the rest of the album didn't sound very much like fun. to me

basically it sounds like the album that should have come after 'infinity on high'... it almost feels intentionally corrective to me

word

folie a deux is kind of a warm, gloopy mess that i love... these songs sound much sharper

yeah i'm sure the album sounds like Fall Out Boy, i just kinda lolled at the hammy campfire singalong of "we are [like] young [volcanoes]"

i kind of see from under the cork tree and folie a deux being lineal descendants, linking infinity on high and this new one together would make some kind of symmetrical sense

where are ppl hearing this? did it leak or is it just journo-perks

just journo-jerks i think
