4.5 months is a little long for an album rollout, but not that much longer than normal, and especially not when 3 of those months are summer, which will fly right by.

 

i lived so much life
lived so much life
i think that god is gonna have to kill me twice

kill me twice
like my name was buffy summers

 

I assume it was intentional, but I guess it worked too well. I don't remember feeling that away about "let's get this party started" in "calm before the storm" though.

 

Do people think Joe just mimes guitar or something? Tweet comes across real bitchy. (Assuming he is talking about FOB here.)

 

That Time Nikki Sixx Was Declared Dead

 

Hi! New song. New tour. Boston Garden? Oh my.

 

I disliked that reference way more since the song was so recent. But it's been 17 years since "Oops I Did It Again", so I'm over it having been overplayed back in 2000.

Edit: I'm not trying to say you're wrong for feeling the way you do, just saying that I don't feel the same way.

 

Its awesome hearing how comfortable they are with taking risks and how they look to create a reaction from people. Made a good argument about Queen too.

"Looks like band, sounds like a squad".

 

loll what a salty guy. when is his headlining show at barclays center and the td garden?

 

Weird thing to say after how bad their last album did, heh, (even though I really liked it).

 

That Nikki Sixx lyric is classic Pete

 

If his next release is the studio version of that god awful DGAF song they were playing on the blink tour then he really shouldn't be talking

 

Not to mention the fact that there's guitar in the goddamn chorus even.

 

I hear you. I'm interested in what the rest of this album is going to sound like.

 

(April 27, 2017) – Following a week of enigmatic posts and buzz across social media, multi-platinum selling, Grammy-nominated Chicago band Fall Out Boy dropped a new song called “Young and Menace” today, which is available NOW on all digital service providers. The band also released the song’s music video – watch HERE.

“Young and Menace” – written and produced by Fall Out Boy – is the first taste of new music off the band’s forthcoming seventh studio album M A N I A, out September 15, 2017 on Island Records/DCD2 Records. M A N I A is available for pre-order now at Fall Out Boy - M A N I A.

“There’s a lyric in the song, ‘trying to send the world a message, I was young and a menace,’ that reminded me of growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. I didn't look like anyone there or feel like anyone – I felt like an outsider in my own town. It wasn't until I discovered punk rock and that community that I realized I did fit in somewhere in this world – with the other people who didn't fit in,” says Fall Out Boy bassist & lyricist Pete Wentz of the reasoning behind the song’s title. “It’s hard to rationalize rage – it’s hard to quantify anxiety... this song does neither, it embraces the wave…”

Of the video, Wentz describes the protagonist’s journey to explore the world outside one she’s previously known. “The concept is the idea of a movie like Elf, where he realizes maybe he isn’t an elf after all, but ours has less comedic elements and more real world implication. She realizes that maybe she is human after all – but maybe the line between us and monsters is blurrier than we think…”

The band will embark on a 20-city North American fall arena tour, kicking off in Cleveland, OH on October 20 and travel through cities such as Detroit, Philadelphia, Boston, Brooklyn, Atlanta, Oakland and San Diego before concluding in Phoenix, AZ on November 18. Pre-sale tickets will be available beginning Monday, May 1. General tickets will be available to the public beginning Friday, May 5 at 10:00 a.m.local time. Special guest for the tour will be announced at a later date. In addition, $1 of every ticket of the tour will go towards the band’s newly launched Fall Out Boy Fund which will support a number of charities in the Chicago area.

M A N I A is the follow-up album to the band’s platinum-certified sixth studio album American Beauty/American Psycho, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 upon its January 2015 release. Hailing from Chicago, Grammy-nominated Fall Out Boy – Patrick Stump (vocals/guitar), Pete Wentz (bass), Joe Trohman (guitar) and Andy Hurley (drums) – has appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone and other prestigious publications. They have performed on Saturday Night Live, The Today Show, America’s Got Talent, The Voice, Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Conan, The Late Show with David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and many more.

Shit, I forgot about that one ... this post was better than mine. Haha.

 

Eh, only song I've really enjoyed post-hiatus was "My Songs Know". I think that was mainly because I was excited to have them back and making music. That being said, I don't hate this song. I think it could be grower. I respect the band for trying something new, but their newer stuff just isn't for me.

 

Serious amounts of salt there haha. Not all my favorite bands play arenas either, but when they do I sure don't fault them for how they got there.

 

After about 10 listens, I get really amped when that chorus is about to drop.

I like how disjointed and unsettling the song feels, given the MANIA album title. The more I take in, the more this feels like a well thought out and executed song to me.

I genuinely do feel like I "get it." And not in a negative exclusionary way, because someone can see the intentions and still be unimpressed, but I do see a method to the madness...the wizard behind the curtains... and it greatly intrigues me. It doesn't have to intrigue anyone else haha.

EDIT: I especially like the shifting perspective album cover, with the words MANIA that are unequally spaced. It is clearly meant to evoke a specific sensation and I think it works really well. Overall, I am just very impressed with the band right now ha.

 

Salty tweet but I get it. Take a song like Hum Hallelujah where it starts off right with the guitars vs this. Actually I thought at first I was hearing a harmonica in the beginning, was kinda disappointed it wasn't ha

Edit: chorus is good

 

I mean, the guitars on this song are huge lol. Just because the production style treats them like synths doesn't mean they aren't there. Tyson must have bad ears

 

This is actually the part I really liked. Then the rest happened.

 

That was awful. Can't ever imagine putting on this song for pure enjoyment

 

Very cool and weird. I love it, to be honest.

 

I'm really looking forward to showing this song to my daughter and step-daughter who have recently become obsessed with Fall Out Boy. This will be the first time they've been anticipating an album from Fall Out Boy, because they have just recently started to enjoy their music. So, to see the reactions from them and to how Fall Out Boy's sound is always evolving with each release will be fun to be a part of.

I love how much they like this band considering they are my favorite. I never thought in a million years me listening to them in the car on the way to school would get them to like it so much, but boy was I wrong. They started screaming and jumping up and down when I told them Fall Out Boy had a big announcement to make that would probably include a new song.
