This surprises me, as American Suitehearts perfectly captures the narcissistic commentary of Folie's lyrics. I wonder if they sat down and decided to build an album around those kind of themes.
Patrick: So, I was looking through our old demos and I found something cool. We should put this song on the new album Pete: Wait a second.... Get this, an ENTIRE ALBUM like it Andy: But I just finished the drum takes... Pete: Okay, next album
This was probably mentioned in this thread somewhere, but Novocaine was a FAD-era song. Can't find the interview.
Folie is so unique to itself and has its own characteristic sound throughout the album that it’s weird for me to imagine any song from it being written for earlier albums... aside from maybe, like, 27. Wild. Have I mentioned I love that album yet?
@Raditz Yo, I'm pretty sure Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea has a reference to Vegeta, "Some princes don't become kings." Or at least that's the only thing I can think of when I hear it haha.
I know I never shut up about Folie but I’m listening to it in headphones for the first time in a long time and *extremely Owen Wilson voice* wooooooooooow. Honestly, y’all who hate on I Don’t Care and America’s Suitehearts are missing out. Neither are the best songs on the album, but there’s some seriously awesome stuff going on throughout both. The guitar interplay in the verses of America’s Suitehearts is *kisses fingers*, and I Don’t Care just has so much frickin swagger it’s unreal. I swear every time I hear this album it moves up my all-time list significantly. I think it’s number 5 right now, idek.
Headfirst Slide is definitely my favorite, I think that song is seriously astounding and just an all-around masterpiece.
I’ll join in on the Headfirst Slide love. Also 20DNB and West Coast Smoker is an amazing finish to the album. Oh, hell yes.
Lol I’ve never really given this lyric much thought but wow. I still think Golden gets an unnecessary amount of shit.
when i stop and thinking about the phrase "loaded god complex cock it and pull it" I'm like wait what did he just say
