Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 127

Uma aggravates the fuck out of me for whatever reason.

 

THANK YOU

 

uma was their best post-hiatus song until wilson and hold me tight came out

 

Save Rock And Roll is the only track that I'd argue bests Uma in that category

 

Relistening to Uma now... and I think it's just the pre-chorus that bothers me.

SR&R is definitely my favorite post-hiatus track.

 

Agreed. I thing "Alone Together" was my favorite before that. That melody is so good.

 

alone together > save rock and roll

 

ABAP is still easily my second favourite by them and isn't far off Folie for me. It's probably their most consistent for me, only really two songs I don't like.

 

ty @sophos34 for reminding me to play "Hold Me Tight or Don't" for the first time in TOO long


b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-banger

 

ayyyy!!!!! yep alone together is literal pop perfection

 

"Miss Missing You" is my fav off SRAR for the 80s synthpop romanticism

 

Likewise.

 

Young Volcanoes was an earworm.


I think I was just bigger on the band than I ever have been in the SR&R cycle which is why I enjoy it so much more than Mania and AB/AP

 

the Phoenix can't be excluded from this discussion.

 

The Phoenix was an excellent track to announce a return with

 

the mania album cycle was the most ive been into this band since cork tree tbh. and ive always loved them throughout the years for every album but mania struck a chord in me i havent felt since cork tree when i was super young and excited about everything

 

"Young Volcanoes" is good but it reminds me of Train's "Hey Soul Sister" too much for it to be one of my favorites for that association alone

which maybe isn't fair to the song on its own but ya

 

Why'd you do this to me?

 

does anyone else think patrick sounds like mr urie on the opening line of stay frosty or is that just me

 

I feel like I've posted this before/probably on AP but did they ever acknowledge how a bunch of the SRAR songs seemed to consciously acknowledge and like invert current pop songs ('11 to like '13)

i.e.

"Young Volcanoes" being a lot like "Hey Soul Sister"
"Alone Together" evoking "Replay" by Iyaz
"Just One Yesterday" having an intro very "Rolling in the Deep"-esque

or was it just kinda a coincidence

 

the way he uses his low register is very similar to urie and different from the way he usually employs his

they've always been similar sounding at times but I can see this

 

i mean i think it's pretty clear without them having to come out and say it that save rock and roll was an attempt to put together all the big pop sounds during their hiatus with their own fall out boy spin on it all.

 

i love both and think both have great voices but thats the only time where it's been almost confusing to me it was so similar haha

 

i mean i dont love panic at the disco besides fever and some of pretty odd but i love brendon as a person and wish nothing but great things for him
