if anyone's holding off on the leak

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?

Too many sharks not enough blood in the waves.

haha ESPN used "favorite record" as bumper music for the rockets-cavs game

fuck cancer.

Technically not cancer but actually worse than most.

But I came here to say "OMG Uma Thurman".

when will brad nelson, maura johnson and tim finney review this record? the world needs it.

A joint review, you mean?

maybe a roundtable

or a karaoke night

all of the above

down

"I'll spin for you like your favourite records used to"

oh yeah btw this is the song that "uma thurman" reminds me of [april march - "chick habit"]

...which is definitely intentional

haven't heard the whole thing yet, but the tracks linked itt are fantastic

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

probably the track that on first listen tipped my opinion of this record from "really good" to "holy shit"

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".

otm

I fucking hate you people with no principles

:)

I will def be buying a copy of this - if only because the sound quality on the leak is awful.

Haha wasn't even a dig at buying vs. not buying - I'm only gonna listen when there's a proper iTunes or CDQ quality versh out there

I think FOB is generally very well produced, No Scik Mouthy, so I'd rather be a good lil' boy and wait

shh dayo

I have listened to this album like 5 times in a row.

It's like Hesistant Alien all over again.

they're going on tour with wiz khalifa this summer!

this excites me for some reason

oh hey "fourth of july" sample source

finally listening to this in high quality and man what a record

new release days are on mondays now, right?

signs suggest this is out in the us on tues but idk

I like this pretty much exactly the same as Save Rock and Roll tbh - almost exactly the same number of hits + clunkers.

iiii might think this is their best after folie? reserving right to reverse that opinion

the second half is so great that i like "immortals" now by proxy

for some reason Stump singing "Uuuuuuma Thurman!" is just a step too far for me

"Novocaine" is probably my fave, awesomely weird chorus vocal line

i like everything i've heard off this album but i can't imagine anything displacing Cork Tree from my #2 ranking xp

idg cork tree stans, i don't care about at least half of that record

previous #2 was a tie between infinity and take this to your grave

Right now it feels to me like Folie > SRNR = AB/AP > Infinity >> Cork Tree
