Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 50

I mean, "pop" is right there in the name of the genre...

 

that’s what i said but he won’t let me have this lmao

 

Favorite Record is such an awesome song though wtf

 

Yeah wow this record is hit after hit after hit

Best FOB LP ever fight me

 

So yeah if this was a debut record from a new band P4K would give it at least a 7.2 right?

 

I'm already strongly considering it being their best post-hiatus album for me.

 

Yeah you know that shit is good when it ends and you smash that play button again

 

Your friend knows nothing. You win.

 

Looked through the lyric book pics online, looks like Neal Avron finally returns to an FOB record post-hiatus. Mixed a bunch of tracks. Butch Walker also had his hand in this again, of course.

I love it like I love anything from fob, but that one drives me bananas more than any other one.

 

Seriously, Pete’s best bass work is from the second verse on in this song.

 

this is dumb

 

I guess it would've been pop back then but... By today's standards it's straight up rock. Like, pop is short for "popular" and to be fair pop punk isn't popular anymore.

Sure, it incorporates elements of poppy production and melody into it, but it doesn't blend in that scene anymore.

Like back in the mid-2000's Emo-scene music was the big trend in pop, and now dull moaning soundcloud rap is the big trend in pop.

But as someone who grew up in the early 2010's, if I played "A Little Less Sixteen Candles..." to a group of friends nowadays, even ones that like modern FOB, they'd recognize it as some weird underground alt stuff. Hell, when a friend who "*likes* them heard me play Homesick At Space Camp, they were freaked the hell out.

 

In what world does this album not switch up the sound

 

I love being dumb

 

lol i can't really speak to this for....reasons, but i will say that most of my fellow critics hate "young and menace" with way more intensity than any other fob song

 

So basically Y&M takes this album down from BNM to a 7.2 right?

 

Really? That was one of the handful of post hiatus songs I loved before all this Mania stuff, and not one I think would drive someone bananas like the really inyourface singles.

 

lol

 

Agreed, Favorite Record, Jet Pack Blues, and 4th of July are my favorites off AB/AP

 

I don't listen to leaks but I've been going through the albums in order to get ready for the new one and holy shit I forgot how much I fucking love everything from FUTCT-FAD. It's been a while since I listened to anything from them but I just fell in love with those records all over again

Doing SR&R tonight, which I've always liked, and hoping against hope that AB/AP will somehow grow on me tomorrow night. New one sounds really interesting/different judging from reactions so I'm excited

 

Also, isn't it weird that if SR&R was their debut, they'd be releasing IOH right now?

 

Ayyyyy

 

I can’t believe SR&R came out 5 years ago. That soundtracked a very strange period of my life

 

As that time in my life is put more in context, so is that record. I don't really like a lot of it, but I don't hate it like I did when it came out. Probably like a 5 or 6/10 from me with 3, almost 4 songs I adore.

Still hate the cover though

 

Finding something new on each listen through. Church absolutely rips, especially the last 90 seconds
