Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 27

I know ... nothing!

 

Has this even leaked? I find it hard to believe it hasn't. Is it even finished?

 

no, yes.

 

Speaking of leaks, I had a facebook memory from 2 days ago in 2015 talking about listening to the leak of AB/AP on a train to visit my girlfriend and her family in St Louis for the first time. I think that album was all I listened to on the train ride and that weekend.

 

Albums rarely leak more than a couple days before release nowadays

 

Albums not leaking anymore is proof that we live in a godless universe haha

 

On one hand I don't think this is true but I can't think of any examples to prove you wrong so I probably have an antiquated view of leaks

 

There’s exceptions obviously, but I think there’s just less means/incentive to leak albums early with streaming being so dominant now.

 

im almost certain if i made a dupe/parody account jason would ban it and then give me a stern talking to like a dad

"ken youre better than this keep the shitposting on your main account"

 

Real Ones has been stuck in my head all week. I guess I'm excited for this album now?

 

I’m glad that Wilson is gonna be a single

 

Not necessarily. Every song has had a video so far.

 

albums not leaking is a good thing and you'd have to be a bad person to think otherwise

 

Leaking sux and I'm sure I'd be mad as hell if I was an artist

 

That was a fun thread. Haha.

 

"I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me ....?"

Is the new "Does your husband know the way that the sunshine gleams from your wedding band?" in my head.

 

Tie-ins like that are awesome, keep 'em coming if you find 'em folks

 

as arbitrary as it is, do FOB pass the 5 album test? id say yeah. FUTCT is a blast of nostalgia but i think its a genuinely good pop rock emo w/e album. Infinity, Folie, SRAR, and AB/AP are all varying degrees of brilliant.

TTTYG is good its just difficult to listen to at time.

 

I agree with everything you’re saying here

 

the only other ones i can think of are

XO referencing Tell That Mick
SRAR referencing Sugar and Chicago Is So Two Years Ago
Novacaine references The Phoenix sort of
Favorite Record kind of references Dead On Arrival

 

Novacaine IS the Phoenix as far as I'm concerned.

But yeah, all good call backs. And I think the 4 album test is better than the 5 but if this album is as good as it's looking they'll pass the 5 easy money

 

What a Catch, Donnie is the most on-the-nose in terms of callbacks, but still counts!

 

i had no idea What A Catch, Donnie was referencing past songs thats wild

 

what makes you prefer 4 albums to 5? just curious if theres any particular reason

 

TTYG is musically and arrangement wise the best pop punk album of its time. Too bad the lyrics are as bad as they are. Cork tree has amazing lyrics and so many amazing songs and the nostalgia makes it my favorite. Funny enough over time I think infinity has become their most underrated. Their "mainstream super star" record, you can tell Pete was really struggling to find his place in mainstream pop culture. Folie obv the best. SRAR was an incredible come back in which they kept up with the sound of modern pop and pop rock even after being on hiatus. AB/AP pushed that further with more experiments which paid off more than not.
