Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 69

Only thing that comes to mind:

 

Jock Jams - Volume 1 - YouTube

 

What's so weird to me is guitars are extremely prominently featured on both After Laughter and Mania.

I think people just think if a guitar doesn't have a traditional tone that it must be a synthesizer or something.

 

Def had that record.

 

Also, can all of these publications please drop the fucking "emo" tag from discussion of Fall Out Boy. They've never been emo, and yes their music is emotional, but all fucking music is emotional.

 

I didn't even know that Stump had released a solo album. I should definitely check that out.

Respectfully, please tell me how I am mishearing things?

EDIT: I see that you are an audio engineer so I am genuinely asking with respect to your experience.

 

If it’s not distorted power chords, it’s not a guitar

 

That's a perfect example of reading a review and thinking..."I don't believe this person actually sat down and listened to this full album".

 

In what world is cork tree not emo at all

 

In our, current world. It's pop punk/pop rock. Always has been, always will be.

 

are we really gonna have the emo discussion right now jesus christ

 

It's pretty damn emo but okay

 

"FROM DAY ONE I TALKED ABOUT GETTING OUT...."
c'mon

 

FOB better be on the SPACE JAM 2 soundtrack if they're Jock Jams

 

I honest to god think Heaven's Gate might be my new favorite Fall Out Boy song of all time. Also, maybe it'll need to grow on me, but I didn't really care for Stay Frosty.

 

WHY PUT A NEW ADDRESS ON THE SAME OLD LONELINESS
WHEN BREATHING JUST PASSES THE TIME

Oh god I loved being so edgy during my junior year of high school

 

I don't understand this comment. Since when do bad spoken word interludes = emo?

 

Music for sporting events. It's not a totally outlandish comparison at this point in their career, but I'd argue outside of "Champion" there's very little of that here compared to SRAR and AB/AP.

 

I’ll forever be mad that I don’t have Patrick’s voice

 

Melodramatic lyrics + pop punk/rock was literally the definition of emo in the mid 00s

 

Jock jams? Fall Out Boy bringing the next level party emo.

 

Just because the word was (mis)appropriated by mainstream press to describe those bands in that way (because emo was suddenly a buzzword that garnered those publications attention) doesn't mean it was ever accurate.

 

was playing this in the car on the way to work and "Last of the Real Ones" came on

tried to sing the opening few lines

hahahahhahahahah never again

 

Yes it does lol genres change over time
