The Return of Fall Out Boy

it's all high school kids from the suburbs, same as wiz

Rock band Fall Out Boy earns its third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, as American Beauty/American Psycho arrives atop the tally. The Island Records album, which was released on Jan. 20, moved 218,000 equivalent album units in the week ending Jan. 25, according to Nielsen Music.

not too shabby at all

I mean, it was kinda made for that, so I dunno why they feel the need to apologize

are they also gonna apologize for kids aren't all right and favorite record being NBA bumper music on ESPN?

Pete, you wrote recently, “Rock should not be relegated to a quaint little corner of Guitar Center for dads to find.” How do you get kids interested again?

Wentz The only way to do it is for kids to be able to see bands that are playing in arenas and amphitheaters that also have current songs being played on the radio. I can think of 10 bands that can sell out arenas, but I’m not sure if kids are buying their music. The future of rock is going to come from kids that listen to Skrillex and to Kanye West. Hopefully they also listen to Fall Out Boy or bands that are playing instruments as well.

Where do you go online to find new music?

Wentz You know how when you were into punk rock you would look at a band’s “thank you” list, and that’s how you would find new bands? The Internet version of that is like, “Who does this person follow on SoundCloud?” or “Who is this D.J. talking to online?” One of my favorite songs of last year was iLoveMakonnen’s “Tuesday,” and I followed it down this rabbit hole to this other remix he did [for “Down 4 So Long”]. Ezra [Koenig] from Vampire Weekend does a verse on it that’s probably one of the funniest and best verses that I’ve heard recently.

I like the interview with them better than songs like "Centuries"

imo the most important thing about that article is the revelation that the "American Beauty" in their album's title refers to the Grateful Dead and not the movie

FALL OUT BOY TO PERFORM ON-FIELD AT WRIGLEY FIELD
AS PART OF MLB OPENING NIGHT ON APRIL 5

Platinum single “Centuries” to be broadcast live on ESPN2

ok, so, this whole version of american beauty/american psycho with tacked-on rap verses is really weird to everyone else, right

zaytoven!

the remix of the title track with ferg is i guess an attempt at an actual remix rather than just adding a verse to the song but i mean, do they really think everyone's favorite track on SRAR was "the mighty fall?"

i suppose i cant complain about a zaytoven beat on that irresistible one; also the demi lovato version of that song is interesting

keep forgetting to update this thread with whatever this is http://twitter.com/falloutboy/status/855801666658021378

i'm actually 100 percent thrilled that ilx doesn't activate twitter links anymore

Woah! I was just wondering about them.

The first time I noticed the twitter links thing was when I posted one this morning. I have no idea what's up with that.

anyway whatever this purple thing is i'm hyped enough to have been listening to folie a deux on repeat today

I don't listen to much of AB/AP anymore beyond "Twin Skeletons" tbh

New song 'Young & Menace' out today. In the interview below, Pete says it's really weird. Album 'Mania' expected this fall.

Matty from the 1975 is going on Zane Lowe's show today and Zane is hinting on his Twitter that it might have something to do with the new FOB single

i'm even more "idk how to feel about this" than i was when "centuries" dropped

Well, that was definitely a song.

weirdly attracted to how bizarre this song is

Yeah, this was not made for me.

it may be stuck in my head forever tho

idk what's up w/ that music video but i like the song

well everybody - this is definitely a fall out boy song

it's really bad

heard 'young and menace' without knowing what it was or who it was by, and liked it

here endeth my confession

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/features/pete-wentz-on-new-fall-out-boy-lp-mania-fall-tour-w494845

Where did you record it? Who is the producer?
We recorded in Burbank, the valley [in L.A.] and the suburbs of Chicago... we worked with Jesse Shatkins, Jake Sinclair; we are working with one of my favorites of all time: The Dream...
