Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust (March 24,2023) Band • Page 14

I say that being a fan of the first two Cobra albums

 

I just woke up from a nap and had a dream that I got to listen to this record in some super swanky vip lounge but only joe was there lol

Fake Out was an absolute heater so you heard it here first. Come back to this in a couple months

 

my recent revisit of save rock and roll revealed to me that "just one yesterday" is a top ten fall out boy song, maybe top five

 

Rat a tat is up there

 

I was joking with my hockey buddies that it’s great news that Fall Out Boy are back because the NHL needs transition music and literally tonight Pete and Patrick showed up on ESPN to announce the rosters for the all-star game and clearly hinted that they're playing at it again lmao.

 

So much for (no) jock jams.

 

where did the party go has always felt spiritually connected to dance dance and that’s why i love it so much (the sick bass lines in both help)

 

Patron Saint
Sixteen Candles
Hum
Headfirst
Alone Together
Uma Thurman
Stay Frosty

 

Calm Before The Storm
Baby
Thriller
Disorder
Party
Kids
Frosty

 

The way he sings “I want to teach you a lesson” elevates the whole thing

 

I might have missed it being discussed, but they released an edit of the single which is the version being added to playlists on Spotify at least, instead of the full version

 

Tell That Mick
Sugar
(After) Life
Disloyal
Phoenix
Fourth of July
Stay Frosty

 

The single release on Spotify is the full version followed by the edit and while I get it I'm already sick of jumping in and pausing it haha

 

New interviews with Patrick:

“If people are expecting a big, loud, 2007 pop-punk… | Kerrang!

Patrick Stump on Fall Out Boy’s ‘So Much (For) Stardust’: “It’s not a throwback record”

 

Tell That Mick
Sugar
GINASFS / Hum Hallelujah / Bang The Doldrums (I genuinely can’t decide)
Disloyal Order
Miss Missing You (I guess)
Fourth of July
Stay Frosty

IOH is their best album front to back, even though my nostalgia for the first two is so strong.

 

I’ve listened to this way more early on than anything since the hiatus. Into it.

 

Hum Hallelujah is top-tier FOB

 

I argue it’s the best “pop-punk” song in their discography. Fun and over dramatic lyrics, a corny interpolation, and long Patrick note - it’s everything I want from them in that style. That last chorus is just *chef’s kiss*

 

Legends

 

if it sounds folie then i'm all on board

 

This NHL all star game > the NBA all star weekend featuring "My Songs Know What You Did"

 

it's really interesting to read that Patrick was the one who fought hard to get Neal on board — I've always kind of really felt that he was the most resistant to any kind of retread/nostalgia trip stuff. knowing that he really wanted to go back to Neal makes me 1) really believe the way he's characterizing the record here and 2) really excited to hear how they keep pushing their sound with a bit more familiarity to that IOH/FAD era

 

After 1 listen of the new song the other day I thought it was good. After a couple more I think it’s great. Man it really is an ear worm of a chorus

 

Didn't know Neal was producing - that's super cool - also didn't realise Neal had mostly been mixing / engineering rather than full-on producing the last few years, so that makes him an ever better get IMO
