For me there was an air of apathy, especially when it came to those of us (young as we may have been,) that got started on this journey due to radio play. "I Don't Care" was fine, I still don't love "America's Suitehearts" and it all just seemed too big. The mall-punk scene caught up to FOB right around that time and the kids that felt as though "their" band had shanghai'd the mainstream radio between '04 and '08 started to overcorrect and shout "Nah, Fall Out Boy sold out." I explained this to a co-worker today in terms of Marvel Movies. It got so big that even the people that cared felt inclined to tear it down. Unrelated, but happy to be here joining the conversation on my first new laptop in almost 15 years and with a little more life and sobriety. Missed this site.

In 2008, it took a while for Folie to grow on me. Honestly for me that year, The 59 Sound by The Gaslight Anthem overshadowed everything. I wanted more of that straight up Springsteen-punk sound, so by the time Folie came out, I was lukewarm toward it. When the band went on hiatus that gave me more time to sit with Folie and appreciate it more with each listen over time.

dunno how to articulate my thoughts on pavlove. i guess i would have to hear a version that feels finished to decide whether it should be on the album or not lol

i would say that west coast smoker is the only total dud for me sequencing-wise, it doesn't feel to me that they were massively intentional about that sort of thing until save rock and roll (bar the opening tracks). obvs just perception but i certainly don't feel that most of their albums have a particular flow

cosmickid liked Carrow's post in the thread Band Fall Out Boy.
I barely remember but yeah the fanbase in general was cold toward it. It hit right around the time I was convalescing after surgery and this was one of the albums I wore out over that long and painful winter. Carried me through and I vibed with it so hard that I just didn't get why people were so down on it. Still hold up (Coffee's For Closers) as their best song

Interesting post and curious. Having rediscovered it a few years ago I think it is an absolute scene high and Patrick's performances are incredible (Donnie and Coffee as just 2 examples), and while a huge leap in songwriting it sounds like an organic development so I too can't understand that this would have received hate, retrospectively.

can someone who was in this fandom in 2008 describe what the vibe was like when folie came out? going through my annual obsessive FOB phase atm and it’s hard to envision this album being as maligned as the stories say
