Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 55

Arms Race still kinda blows my mind.

 

because it's a fall out boy it'll immediately get radio play. and i think that song is the closest to an accessible megahit on there. there was still some rock music on the radio at that point

 

That music video was incredible

 

Headfirst is the best song of FAD with Coffee being a close second

 

I feel like it's the middle child of FOB's discography, but Infinity on High bangs

 

easily my favorite tbh

 

Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes is the best FAD song, come on now. DETOX JUST TO RETOX

 

Jellyfish are such a great band. I heard them a few years back, and have been a fan since.
If anyone hasn't heard them here's a link to a great song by them.

The keyboardist/Singer in that band, Roger Joseph Manning Jr., has actually worked with a ton of bands in this scene. He worked with Jerry Finn and did keyboards on every Blink album except the last it seems, did stuff with The Format, Fun., JEW, The Mars Volta, and Paramore, to name a few. I always thought that was cool/interesting how I found this band, Jellyfish, that was really cool from the early 90's, and that one of its members was also a part of so many great modern records.

Anyways, yeah, Jellyfish are great if anyone wants to check em out.

 

Thought about it a while back and I'd still have no qualms about calling (Coffee's For Closers) their best fucking song full stop.

 

Water Buffaloes is their best song

 

I Don’t Care is good

 

Wow, I am IMPRESSED with this. A lot of great tracks and the vocals are insanely good.

 

let's not turn this into a list thread

(pssst, someone start a list thread)

 

did someone say bracket?


*please no

 

First review is already discredited (wrong tracklist):
Fall Out Boy M A N I A

 

i mean, if they got the original tracklist the review was probably done before any knowledge of a new one so

 

The electronic whistle that floats through "Hold Me Tight or Don't" and the sing-song verses of "Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)" both sound like the band are chasing trends that were beaten to death back in 2016.

omg all the way back in 2016!?

Hah, that review's not that bad actually. Surface level as expected, but yeah.

 

Review basically summarizes that they're the best of the worst haha

 

Threw FAD in my car and damn that's a good album. Agree that West Coast Smoker is one of their most underrated song. I used to not like it when the album came out.
I wonder if W.A.M.S. could have made a run at radio.

EDIT: I JUST realized that Justin Pierre is the person singing in the bridge of Chicago Is So Two Years Ago.

 

Haha, this is funny.

 

The base sample in that one drives me nuts and I don’t care much for the chorus. I say this as someone who has seen the band live 12 times and would give my left arm for FOB, but if I have to pick a least favorite song, it’s Favorite Record. I also love Save Rock And Roll. Post-hiatus FOB is just as good as pre-hiatus for me, it’s just very, very different.

 

I'm not even sure I could pick a least favorite FOB song. Something from TTYG, surely.

Maybe Golden? The Mighty Fall? idk

 

All time favorite song off my all time favorite album by my all time favorite band.

 

GOAT comment.

Yes. “Out In The Cold”. MTV heard it and wrote about it. Still waiting for this one to surface.

 

That run of Stay Frosty through Heaven's Gate is just otherworldly. Very comfortable calling this the best post-hiatus album
