Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 149

I used to have a CD that was half Infinity and half Folie that I called Folie On High, it really made a great album when you cut off the terrible stuff from both those albums

 

uhm excuse you, there's nothing terrible on Folie.

 

Nothing terrible on Infinity either.

 

There most certainly is

 

It's too early to be drinking Steve.

 

there are no rules anymore

 

BIG facts here

What songs would that be from each? Just curious to hear your take.

 

While I have had this same conversation at least a million times on AP, I'll play along again haha

I think The Take Over is absolutely boring, monotonous and unengaging, especially after Thriller. Always takes away any excitement I had when starting the album. Never liked This Ain't A Scene, could cut I'm Like A Lawyer but it's not terrible. A few others in the back half that I could give or take but they aren't terrible.

Folie though, Winona and Tiffany are maybe my least favorite songs from them of all time, wams isn't good, I think Disloyal Order is their single most overrated song and West Coast Smoker is bad.

 

........ hating on "the take over".... now i've seen everything

 

WE DO IT IN THE DARK
WITH SMILES ON OUR FACES

 

"she's my winona" is sometimes my favorite fob song too ("never the same person when i got to sleep / as when i wake up"!!!!!!!!!) but like... really?? "the take over"????

 

Zzzzzz
Zzzzzzzzzz

oh sorry, didn't see you there, I guess The Take Over was playing and I must have dozed off

 

Those Folie opinions make my brain hurt

 

IT'S ONE OF THEIR MOST DYNAMIC AND MELODICALLY INTERESTING SONGS STEVE

 

It's funny, in 2008 they were pretty common thoughts when the album came out, it was always divisive among fans, particularly wams and Tiffany

 

Ok fine, you people want me to jam out to Fall Out Boy all day? You got it. Stop twisting my arm.

 

history has borne out that a lot of fans were wrong about folie

i knew folie was their best record when i heard it lol

 

and I knew it wasn't

 

"tiffany blews": one of their best choruses, incredible
"w.a.m.s.": is this actually the best song on folie????

 

look, i'm glad you enjoy them

 

it helps that i think folie has pete's best lyrics. fame magnifying all the depression and paranoia that was already there

 

Folie is great if for no other reason than it's got Coffee and Cooperstown.

 

i'm not a crybaby
i'm THE crybaby

 

I don't have a desire to do a definitive ranking.

But I feel comfortable saying that FAD is my favorite by a country mile. And the records that I seem to have the biggest soft spots for are IOH and Mania.

 

Coopestown-Gold Standard-Coffee-What A Catch is an amazing string of songs
