I really feel like this album is going to be a complete dud. Champion is worse than Y&M, but both songs are just so bad. Ill have to see myself out of this one. SR&R is my second favorite FOB album and I liked about 3/4 of ABAP, so this makes me sad that this will most likely be the first FOB album I do not like at all.
Excited for this new one tomorrow. I still love Young and Menace when I hear it, even if I don't go back to it a ton. Champions does nothing for me, and I'm just a little concerned that they don't seem to know what direction to head, but hopefully the delay to January helped with that. I have a hard time imagining them releasing an album that completely disappoints me.
I get what you are saying, but I think it is somewhat fair to think that based off the vibe they seem to be going for this time around, as well as sound, I could probably assume I am not going to be into it. I haven't heard the whole Neck Deep album, but based off the sound of the lead singles they released and not liking that style of the genre, I could probably assume I won't like it. Granted, I could be wrong and I could be missing out. As I said before, I hope I am wrong.
But if you picked any Fall Out Boy album after their debut you would have been pretty wrong about the albums as a whole based on the lead singles.
Fair enough. Then I will pull back and say that they have at least reduced my hype for the album. I will have to check back on the 14th.
I really disliked Centuries and hated the title track for AB/AP but then the album came out and I loved pretty much every thing else on there and now it's my second favourite FOB album. I'm interested to hear what else they have for this album, I was really into Y&M but Champion's kind of bored me.
If this continues the trend of the last few, I'll LOVE a few select songs and not like the album overall... we'll see!
just realized the tenth anniversary of folie is coming up next year and it's fucking me up ngl also i thought everyone comparing 451 to fob was crazy but listening to i don't care for the first time since sf was released...i hear it
Not looking forward to the endless flood of people asking about a 10 year Folie tour that won't ever happen. And I'm glad you came around, I Don't Care is a great example of one of the songs that 451 sounds like.
Haha I'm not saying I wouldn't be excited as hell if it happened, especially because a lot of those songs never got their due. It's just going to be a long year hearing about it. Actually though it hasn't really been like that this year for Infinity, so I guess that was more for the first 2 albums.
I haven't bothered with their last album yet, so I can't say which their best is. But it's absolutely not FAD. It has some great songs, but as an album it's a mess.
Folie is overrated IMO. I will never understand how some people think it is their best one. Album was a dud when it was released and doesn't hold up now. However it gets a lot of support in this forum.
Yea I think you haven't been paying much attention over the last years. The fanbase has pretty much done a complete 180 on that album, or it's at least more 50/50 these days. I think most FOB fans I know consider it one of their best.
Is it a complete 180 or 50/50? Those are very different. Still doesn't make the album good either way though, tbf.
