I love "Uma Thurman" so much, off-brand "Misirlou" guitar line and coke-snorting sound and all

incidentally SRNR had my personal highest hit:miss rato of any FOB album, which I suspect I'm alone on --Simon H.
I agree almost 100 percent actually - last time I listened I was like "are only the odd numbered tracks good on this?"

on first spin "The Kids Aren't Alright" sounds like the towering standout, though I like the "Pastime Paradise"ish outro on "Twin Skeletons." definitely their most streamlined record, not sure if that's a good thng or not yet
― Simon H., Sunday, 4 January 2015 16:44 (nine years ago) link
really bombastic but in a way that seems much more...confident than SRAR. like they know definitely what type of band they want to be now, which i don't necessarily think was the case with comeback FOB v 1.0 on the last record.

the leak is kinda terrible quality which normally doesn't bother me much but i imagine this album in particular will sound fuller w/ higher quality files?

the sample is the munsters theme yeah but stylistically the call-and-answer horn parts remind me of "chick habit"

I was just listening to this bit (on my second listen-through) and thinking how sharply this record captures what has become perhaps Fall Out Boy's primary aesthetic preoccupation: the way they take bombast, typically a mode of delivery, and turn it into a concentrated property in itself. These songs feel simultaneously structured and destructured by bombast, or maybe I should reverse those verbs - more like, they added too much bombast to ordinary songs until they exploded, and then they pieced together new songs out of the shards.
Particularly telling how the broken delivery of the refrain here immediately gets repeated at the start of "Favorite Record".
