the chorus on this
essentially imo this song is "death valley" but 1000000000000x better

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".

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

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

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
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Sunday, 18 January 2015 03:33 (nine years ago) link
Right now it feels to me like Folie > SRNR = AB/AP > Infinity >> Cork Tree
― Simon H., Sunday, 18 January 2015 03:43 (nine years ago) link
Cork Tree is definitely not all killer no filler, but it holds up imo. Infinity always felt like a missed opportunity to me.

this is def the best non-folie FOB album, brad otm
pretty much all of their records have either failed experiments (rat a tat) or egregious filler (l slept with FOB and all I got..., fame<infamy, etc), and this album just...doesn't. even something like immortals is just "not as good as everything else," rather than a throwaway or failure

maybe "the mighty fall" is a more agreed upon example of a failed experiment? not so much for the rap verse but for the fact that the rap verse is by big sean.

SRNR is perfect all the way through tho
― uberweiss, Sunday, 18 January 2015 16:14 (nine years ago) link
^ This is correct
― 龜, Sunday, 18 January 2015 16:14 (nine years ago) link
"Rat a Tat" and "Fame < Infamy" are both top tier, wtf
I will probably never like any of the guest-rapper tracks or recent singles tho (save for the lovably bonkers AB/AP title track)
― Simon H., Sunday, 18 January 2015 16:32 (nine years ago) link
The Mighty Fall is one of the favorite FOB songs among my kid and his friends.
― how's life, Sunday, 18 January 2015 18:00 (nine years ago) link
Although they thought the line before the Big Sean rap was "I want to lock you up inside and swallow, swallow the cheese!"
Anyway, I haven't heard this full album yet. I've been listening to the tracks that have been available via itunes and I'm not all that into them. Hoping this changes once I get some context.
My ranking of albums is probably like:
IOH=FAD>SRAR>>FUCT>>>>>TTTYG

If I had discovered it after In Reverie came out, it would have saved my day.

Basically a repeat of my experience with 1989. Album that I've been looking forward to basically since the last one came out, been dreading since the first awful single, and landed in my iTunes on release day, probably never to be listened to again. A halfhearted attempt at radio-friendluness that leaves behind all the stuff that that made them melodically and lyrically interesting. They did it so well on the last record! Everything on that one felt like a single. Everything here feels like a b side.
New S-K today takes away some of the sting, but this record is a bummer.

Just realized that this is the first album since FUCT to not feature any stunt casting.

Eh, I dunno. I'm giving it a second chance on the trip home. Not as bad as I thought this morning. Still feels a little awkward in places. Gonna load it up on my kid's ipod when I get home. He'll probably love the hell out of it.
