Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 156

Tell Mick is my favorite song of theirs, favorite opener. Not sure how it "rates" in their discography.

 

idk how popular it is but ive been a big fan of Calm Before The Storm lately. the "between your smiles and regrets" section has no right to be as good as it is. i didnt like TTTYG that much growing up but ive been revisiting it lately and a lot more is sticking with me, that song especially

 

If they don't drop an album in 2022 then the same amount of time since the last album will have passed as between Folie and SR&R

 

i remember reading an interview around 2019 while joe was promoting the most recent album from the damned things that made me think some of his pre-hiatus dissatisfaction with the band was creeping back in. something to the effect of 'fall out boy is mostly just about hearing patrick's voice now'.

that was obviously years ago, but that combined with COVID, all their other projects, maybe focussing on getting the hella mega tour out of the way - it wouldn't surprise me if they haven't worked on anything together at all over the last few years.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if their next album sounds more like their older stuff now that that sound is back in fashion again

 

Had to google what HMT was, it didn't register what that was an acronym for

 

IOH is 15 today. Jeez. Still a great, great album.

 

I hope the next album they make some dad rock

 

IOH and AB/AP are like weird transitional albums that each have their moments but aren't as good as the two they serve as the bridge between. Their discography feels like TTTYG followed by two trilogies

 

That’s what makes me excited for the next record.

 

yeah idk whether to expect a natural progression from Mania or something entirely different

 

I want a FUCT sounding album. Cliche to say but I think it's due, not sure if they have that in them.

 

I want a PAX AM style album

 

Given that's literally the only album of theirs I never listen to, ever, please god no.

 

I think PAX AM is hideous. Literally anything else but that. Give me 10 "Young & Menace"s over that.

 

album full of Lake Effect Kids please

 

Yeah Lake Effect Kid made me believe they can pull off that sound still (know it was an old song rerecorded)

 

I just don't want a retread, and I doubt they do, either

 

new lake effect kid sounds like a natural evolution of their old style though, not a retread, i would be all in with an exploration of that style. or whatever it is they want to do, i did enjoy the majority of mania a lot. its just that the low points were reeeeaaaaal low. still, one of the stronger front halves of an album in their discog

 

Such a damn good front half that falls completely apart in the second half

 

I still listen to MANIA in the incorrect order, I think opening with Young & Menace and Champion works much better.

I also think MANIA is really strong which doesn’t seem to be a popular opinion so

 

MANIA is probably the album of theirs I go back to the most. Don't think a lot of people really gave it the chance it deserved after Young & Menace wasn't received too well

 

MANIA>>Save Rock and Roll>>>AB/AP

 

i can't believe anyone would wanna hear fall out boy make pop punk in 2022

 

I certainly would rather hear that than another album of outdated stadium pop-rock

I love SR&R and MANIA but weirdly those albums already sound more dated to me than their first four
