Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 22

this is a good and probably the correct take for any post-reunion FOB albums

 

I've been listening to these songs way more than I would've expected. Like I can't stop. And apparently Young + Menace was the song I listened to the most on Spotify last year. Im really really excited for this album. Could easily be my favorite post hiatus.

 

Champions still sucks though but I'll forgive it.

 

This is out in like 26 days...

 

Let's hope for the best

 

I feel like there hasn't been as much hype this time around still, but that being said the singles have been good so far. They definitely don't NEED a massive radio hit this album cycle, it'll sell well at this point regardless.

 

Prediction time: this will have kinda disappointing first week sales, but not that bad. Just under 100k. But it’ll be a consistent seller and there will be a hit on it that isn’t released yet

 

I second this prediction. It'll sell less than their last two first week, but will have a sleeper hit and will do well over time.

 

A nine or ten-month album rollout can only take you so far I guess

 

I’ve already heard half the album, they better give us bonus tracks

 

Don't hold your breath.

 

Never expect bonus tracks.

 

I really like "Hold Me Tight or Don't" too.

 

what are your sales expectations for this?

 

I really could see that being a big hit for them. I'm not sure if it's officially a single or just a pre-release track, but I think it could really take off if they push it to radio.

 

75k? No idea. I'm very uninterested in record sales.

 

I don't think it's been pushed to radio, but yeah, it's got a huge cross over feel to it. I like it more every time I hear it.

 

Even "Champion" grew on me. Which makes tracks 1-6 a great little run since I already liked "Y&M" and love tracks four and five. (And we've heard "Wilson" live -- very Folie-like.)

 

Same here. It's unmistakably FOB, but it also seems like it'd fit right in with the current top 40 climate. It's so much fun I think you'd have to really try not to like it.

 

Yeah, that little chorus thing Patrick does with his voice is perfect. Extremely infectious.

 

Honestly trying to picture someone other than Patrick Stump pulling off Hold Me Tight and I'm not sure it would work if he wasn't singing it.

 

I am so excited for this to drop, love the song released so far.

 

I have high hopes for this

 

Where do you see it standing with the other 2010FOB records?

 

Up their with their last two for sure.
