Though, I have been following them since the beginning, your connotation implies that it is a negative thing to have started following them later in their career. It doesn't matter who started following them when as long as they like them. I apologize if you didn't mean this as a bad thing, but I just never understand why this would matter and I've heard a lot of people saying it about Fall Out Boy and other bands.
Surprised to see so many people place Grave at the very bottom. I guess it's just a nostalgia thing for me. I was 17 when that album came out and it just totally took the scene by storm. I remember going to shows at that time with FOB as the opener and the place would just clear out when they finished.
Nah... I know lots of people (myself included) who have followed them for a decade or more who still think TTTYG is their worst album, and that they've had a cool progression since. Even though I don't love every single song on the newer stuff, I always respect and admire how much they experiment and change it up.
I genuinely love AB/AP. And Twin Skeleton's. Folie might take the top spot but it is so close as time goes on. Regardless, I will always look forward to what they put out. Also, I started listening to them in 2003 and still prefer their more recent efforts. So unless that user meant the opposite, you can't really tell who got into them post-haitus.
Definitely haven't gotten progressively worse, hard to do that when your first two albums suck. FAD > IOH > SRAR > ABAP > FUCT > TTTYG
It's not just nostalgia, I just has some of their best songs like Pros and Cons of Breathing, Calm Before the Storm and The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes on it. They also had an energy that they lost and are now boring live.
I'm kind of torn between their live shows pre-hiatus/post-hiatus. I saw them live a couple of times way back in the day before FUCT even came out and those shows were a blast, but I was also a lot younger and had it in me to really get in the crowd and go crazy. I've seen them once post-hiatus (a little after AB/AP came out) and it was great to just go and enjoy the show from a seat and enjoy the show without all the chaos. Maybe we have all just become old guys, but it was just as much fun seeing them recently as it was 10 years ago, but just in a different way.
Just because I get old and want to sit and enjoy the show, doesn't mean I want the band to do the same lol. I paid for a show damn it!
Sound of a band that sucks, just terrible, awful, bad musicians, bad songwriting, just not very good at all, amirite boys?
Thank you, this has got me pretty excited. Hopefully, it's just dropped out of nowhere like sometime next week. (wishful thinking)
Folie > Cork > Infinity > Rock > AB/AP > TTYG Hum Hallelujah is their best song. Golden is their worst.
WOW... I can't imagine how crazy we all must look to each other, cuz those are two of my favorite songs of theirs, and the transition between them is one of my favorite things on that record! Speaking of which, fuck it, this song NEVER gets enough love...
Didn't mean it for it to come across as it's bad if you found out about them later! That whole argument is nonsense. My comment was aimed towards me not understanding how AB/AP could be ranked higher than pre-hiatus releases such as Folie or IOH. The only reasoning I can come up with is AB/AP or SRAR must have been the album that got them into Fall Out Boy. Hence my original comment
as much as i liked that, I'd much rather keep the original ab/ap untouched as far as the actual band performing it. the remix album sucked too
