Fall Out Boy Band • Page 86

hard to listen to it in general

 

PAX AM is awful awful awful.

 

PAX AM is Fall Out Boy's FOAM?

 

Yea, Pax Am is not great

 

Gold.

 

Wtf. PAX AM is fucking awesome.

 

Of course you like it

 

Honestly it’s probably equal with AB/AP for my favorite.

 

What a match! I'm half-doomed and you're semi-sweet

 

Caffeine Cold is good. nothing else really is imo but different strokes and all

 

I also only liked 1 song from Mania.

I hope this next album is a little bit old school FOB.

 

hopefully they lean into the nostalgia stuff that's been going on lately in this scene. that would be awesome. not holding my breath though since it kinda seems like they're just over being a pop punk band, or whatever they were/are.

 

I seem to remember Folie a Deux getting a fair amount of hate on this site. I think that was likely due to Fall Out Boy exhaustion at the time (they were everywhere and ALWAYS being talked about here). At the time, I felt the album was strongly under-rated but nowadays, I feel it's a little bit over-revered amongst the stans (the back half has a few duds). Curious how they're received when they come back as I think Paramore may have surpassed them in terms of ticket draws.

 

Definitely revisit MANIA if you haven't in a while, the whole thing is awesome.


Also, FOB is a sneaky good winter band. IOH, FAD, AB/AP, and MANIA are all winter albums, plus the Lake Effect Kid single.

 

FOB hasn't been a pop-punk band for nearly 20 years.

 

the TTTYG years

 

I've tried many times. I even went to the Mania Tour and thankfully they played a lot of old songs.

I was in a weird place personally when Mania came out so I never connected to it.

 

2003-2008 were the only years I was really a fan of this band. PAX AM Days was a really fun and cool one-off thing.

 

AB/AP wasn't my favorite album, but I will die on the "Jet pack blues" and "Fourth of July" hill.

 

My prediction is new material sounds like Lake Effect Kid

 

I thought Pax AM was fun for a little bit. It helps that I saw them play the whole thing at the Metro though. Such a cool show

 

So when are we thinking they drop a song, next week?
