Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 76

I think ABAP is the worst album in a discography of only great albums

 

A good chunk of my fave fob songs would be post hiatus. The Phoenix, kids aren't all right, save rock n roll, young volcanoes, Wilson, etc etc. Probably more but I haven't listened to their catalog in a while

 

It blows my mind how much hate this band has pretty much always gotten

 

Post-hiatus FOB blows pre-hiatus FOB out of the water IMO

 

Folie is still easily my favorite but ignoring that I’d probably agree with this

 

Well, yeah excluding Folie.

 

Are we about to do a ranking?

 

I did recently listen to Cork Tree for the first time in a while and I appreciated it more than I thought I would. It made me cringe a lil because I remember thinking lines like "you look so good in blue" were super clever and edgy and I still cringe at Pete's speaking parts, but for the most part I liked it more than I thought I would. I appreciated our lawyer made us change the name of this song so we couldn't get sued a lot more. I probably listened to the album a zillion times upon it's release and never noticed the line "Make them dance like we were shooting their feet" which I really enjoy like it's probably a top fob line for me rn.

 

1. FAD
2. IOH
3. SRAR
4. FUTCT
5. TTTYG
6. MANIA
7. AB/AP

 

Generally I think their albums are just consistent. Usually a few songs that I love, a lot that I like, and a couple I don't care for.

 

Also this, even as much as I love folie it's got an inconsistent back half.

 

Yeah that's my favorite one too, probably the only one that I don't think has any duds. But I don't think w.a.m.s. or 27 are particularly great.

 

Probably a controversial ranking, but here's my take:
Take This to Your Grave
From Under the Cork Tree
Infinity on High
Save Rock and Roll
Mania
Folie a Deux
American Beauty / American Psycho

 

It’s gonna fuck me up when Folie is ten years old this year

 

This post just ruined me

 

I can appreciate TTTYG for what it is, but the biggest leap forward this band ever made was from that to Cork Tree.

 

My record was delivered today from Amazon. Started listening to it, and right as Wilson starts it begins skipping. Thought there was a hair on the record- nope. An inch-long scratch... just opened it! I’m pretty damn annoyed.

Also, no digital download included, which is weird.

 

oh F U C K

 

feel like amazon usually comes with autorip?

 

Stay Frosty is my favourite on here right now. I love the Eau de Résistance part. My other favourites would be Church, Last of the Real Ones and Heaven's Gates. But really the only one I'm not sold on yet is Sunshine Riptide.

 

biggest leap this band ever took was either infinity to folie or folie to srar

 

Infinity to Folie was definitely the biggest leap in my opinion.

 

i think i'd add cork tree to infinity to that series lol

 

cork to infinity seemed bigger at the time than it really was imo. lots of infinity songs aren't too far off from cork trees sound

 

Sunshine Riptide is such a jam.
