Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust (March 24,2023) Band • Page 192

Woke up singing Heaven Iowa in my head this morning and then this thread it updated. Perfectly in sync.

 

Fake Out is still probably my favorite on this album, but man I love this one.

 

Their best post-hiatus album. Pair that with the last couple of tours that have had top tier set-lists, it really was a great album cycle.

 

definitely a few skips on this but the highs are very high

my head is saying it's the best post-hiatus album but my heart says save rock and roll

 

AB/AP for me

 

best post-hiatus and also better than Infinity and Folie

 

Infinity
Stardust
Cork Tree

 

Definitely their best post-hiatus record

 

happy to accept any opinion other than it being better than folie

 

Yeah I think it's pretty easily their best post hiatus album.

 

Stardust is definitely their best post hiatus album. Some days, I think it’s their best period. I crown Folie and IOH as the top dogs most days though

 

Agree. Folie has several moments which, for me, demonstrate how wide a chasm there is between Patrick's as a vocalist, performer and songwriter vs the rest of the scene.

Absolutely.

 

I go back and forth on where I prefer this or MANIA as far as post-hiatus goes. Easily a top 3 album from them, though

 

Alright I'll bite,

1. From Under the Cork Tree
2. Folie a Deux
3. Infinity on High
4. So Much (for) Stardust
5. Save Rock and Roll
6. Take This to Your Grave
7. Mania
8. American Beauty/American Psycho
9. Evening Out with Your Girlfriend

 

Top 3 for me:
Folie a Deux
Infinity on High
So Much (for) Stardust

 

1. Folie
2. Cork Tree
3. Stardust
4. Grave
5. IoH
6. Save RnR

2 and 3 can switch positions on occasion.

 

1. Infinity
2. Folie
3. Cork
4. Stardust
5. SRAR
6. Grave
7. AB
8. MANIA

Stardust is really good, and the rare "let's recreate an older sound on purpose" records that actually works, but I remain convinced it's missing one last coat of songwriting polish to be in that tippy top upper echelon of their stuff. a little too much repetition, a lot of ABABCB, too few fun twists.
