What does /mu/ think about Fall Out Boy? Favorite album? Song? Did they fall off post hiatus?
>>130697260Bwst qlbum is Take This to Your Grave. Cork Tree is OK. They fell off on Infinity On High. If you think the reunion shit sucks but you think Folie a Deux is good, you need to be honest with yourself and realize that it's the same shit.
>>130697325ayo he mad spittin u invited to the FOB cookout my broda. Folie is for fat chicks Tttyg is for the homies who rode at the back of the bus (and the cooler fat chicks who aren't into Harry Potter).
>>130697260Mumble Rockyou cant dissect the lyrics of some of their songsbut the guy has a decent singing voice i like some tunes.
Cork tree was their best albulm, hands down.
>>130697260sounded a lot better when I was 13
>>130697325Pretty much this. TTTYG is their undisputed masterpieces. Cork Tree is good. Infinity has it's moments but you could tell the wheels had fallen off. Everything else sucks ass. Their best song is Patron Saint.
>>130697260Of all the effeminate bands my ex gf was into I found PATD the most listenable. Some genuinely catchy material
>>130697260>What does /mu/ think about Fall Out Boy? big fan. although i wasn't back in their heyday. i was the kind of asshole that would hate stuff just because it was popular. i didn't get into them until about 2009 when they went on hiatus. i bought FUTCT used on CD at my local record store. just because "fuck it, they broke up, might as well see what all the hype was about. they probably suck anyway". that album blew my fuckin mind. TTYG to FaD are all 10/10 albums in their own way.>Favorite album? depends on the day, depends on the mood. i think Follie is their magnum opus. but FUTCT will always be nostalgic for me. i love infinity because it's so experimental.>Song? couldn't even begin to pick one. they're an "album band" for me. when i listen, i usually put on the entire album>Did they fall off post hiatus?yes. but Save RnR had potential. only problem was they over-produced everything to the point where all the instruments sound like a synth/sample. they used real instruments (guitars, bass, drums, vocals, analog synths) to record the songs, but it got over-produced. sounds plastic and sterile. hopefully one day they re-release a more stripped down pop-punk version of Save RnR. all their other albums have sucked ass. they tried to be Maroon 5 with that Centuries/American Psycho bullshit. Stardust was the best thing they've done since Save RnR.
>>130697260they turned to complete and utter shit when they stopped being pop punk
>>130699617i enjoyed their experimental years. they're very talented musicians, and i liked hearing them push the boundaries of what pop and punk exemplified. they turned to shit when they started following status quo and singing like fuckin adam levine
>>130697260This album is an all time great pop rock album, best of its era for sure. I wish nothing they recorded after 2010 happened but it's not up to me
YOU ONLY HOLD ME UP LIKE THIS'CAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHO I REALLY AM
>>130697260OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH
WE'RE MAKING OUT INSIDE CRASHED-CARSWE"RE SLEEPING THROUGH ALL OUR MEMORIES
>>130697260Broooooo what is going on with the master of dance dance on streaming??? did they download an mp3 20 years ago?i remember that song sounding huge and it sounds crazy hollow check it out
>>130699776>doesn't have FUTCT on CDit DOES sound huge, dummy. just not with a shitty streaming mp3 that's compressed to hell and back.
they did fall off but they're picking it up recently
>>130699788you're fukken pants are gonna fall off after i come to your house to rape you, tough guy.
>>130699604I'll defend American Beauty/American Psycho too. There are plenty of outright Rock songs too. Novocaine, Uma Thuman, Twin Skeletons are all great. The album opens with the worst songs but then it's basically SRAR2 with arguably even more riffs.Honestly SRAR and AB/AP both are over produced. But I think at their core they're FOB with a few songs that sound like them chasing trends rather than entire albums, the huge thing AB/AP has over SRAR is the bigger lack of features which put a bad mouth to me in SRAR. I also think guitar is far more in front and center I'm AB/AP
i made not liking this band a huge part of my identity in high school, but i liked them quite a bit actually. still do. anyway this was the go-to band to say you like to make a girl agree to a date. it's insane how easy it was....
>>130700557Nah not me brother I only date chicks of a heavier set.
>>130700805music: it's great for fucking
>>130699781Isn't Apple Music lossless now?
Their best song is actually Get Busy Dying Or Living.
>>130700990that's a lot of fucking data though
>>130699776Streaming is for retards. Buy physical copies and actually own your music
>>130702483what if i don't want to be on the next album?
>>130702515You should quit Fall Out Boy then
>>130702521i actually get their albums for cheap
>>130697260I think it's interesting that their drummer used to play in a racist metalcore band
>>130697260Love everything from Cork Tree through Folie. Take This to Your Grave and American Beauty/Psycho are decent but not albums I go back to a lot. Don't care for the rest of their oeuvre.
>>130697260Objectively better than MCR, but they don't get circlejerked like them today because they don't do enough heckin valid as fuck LGBTQIABCDEFMAP stuff. Great band, tight impactful economic songwriting, excellent lyricism, fun sense of humor, Stump is obviously a great vocalist. They fell off when they started doing brostep or whatever. No thank you. But the guys were all married and only cared about buying their wives shit by then.
>>130703130They stopped Brostep with Stardust which was a great return album
>>130702059Well duh. It's not for you anymore, tech stuff is for millionaires now.
>>130702977i thought they were vegan hardcore or some shit. like earth crisis
Their only bad album really is MANIA.
>>130703130>excellent lyricismLiterally some of the worst lyrics in pop punk and were hard carried by Patrick
>>130703367I disagree I adore FOB's lyricism I love every line on Cork Tree.
>>130703367you're fucking retarded. FOB had some of the best lyrics of the genre.
>>130703575>>130703609They're fine when Patrick is singing them but when you sit down and read them it feels like a pastiche but I don't think Pete is smart enough for it. I like the band just fine but Pete doesn't bring much to the table.
>>130703638I don't know. When I read them I love them even more. I thought Cork Tree initially was just a silly self aware album but then realized how depressing it is. I adore every line on XO. One of the few bands where the lyricism really improves my experience with their music.
Post Hiatus FOB needs love too, except for Mania.
>>130697260>What does /mu/ think about Fall Out Boy? Not anything amazing, but they were enjoyable at their prime. Their quality varied even then, but we still got a lot of good hits out of then.>Favorite album? Folie is their best. Their first two albums are respectable contenders too.>Song?(Coffee's For Closers)>Did they fall off post hiatus?Save Rock and Roll is an objectively good album with a few mishaps. Everything after can be considered a fall off due to their corny renditions and painstakingly horrible mixing. I haven't listened to that dog album though, so that can be exempt. MANIA was the dogshit that made me not want to check them out any further though.
>>130697325>>130697753One could easily point out that Take This To Your Grave is more immature and stock than From Under The Cork Tree. From Under The Cork Tree essentially defined the next generation of pop punk. TTTYG followed footsteps.
>>130703638Do you know the definition of "pastiche", pseudy?
>>130703367Worst bait of all-day.
>>130703130Why are you comparing MCR and FOB, tardo?
>>130699604>i think Follie is their magnum opusthen you do hate Fall Out Boy
>>130697770P!ATD wasn't even effeminate.
>>130706156Do you? Because that's exactly what they come across as. Some rich kid pretending to be a part of something which is Pete in a nutshell. Not sure why you fags are getting so worked up about. I like the band but Pete is a no talent dumbass>>130706164Name a single FOB lyric that isn't embarrassing when it's not sung by Patrick. There's no way you can be this stupid. Pete's writing sucks and he lifted lines from Songs Ohia and Nirvana. Get real.
>>130706192Young Veins mogs
>>130706176Same genre
>>130706552What, "emo"? That move is the one that makes the term meaningless.
>>130706493>Some rich kid pretending to be a part of somethingthat is not even close to what "pastiche" meansalso, you're clearly suffering from ressentiment if this is your critique>Pete is a no talent dumbassyou only think that because you're a dimwitted anti-intellectual, and a pseud on top of that somehow from trying to use words outside of your vocabulary to attempt to make a point>Name a single FOB lyric that isn't embarrassing when it's not sung by PatrickBrendon could easily sing the entirety of "Dance Dance" compellingly. In fact, he could probably sing everything they have well and convincingly.>There's no way you can be this stupid.Your preemptive ad hominem has fallen flat on its face.>Pete's writing sucksIt doesn't. He's easily one of the greatest lyrical writers of the 2000s, of alternative rock history, of his generation, of his race, whatever category you want to go with.
>>130706184how bout i rape you?
>>130706552They aren't the same genre AT All, FOB is what MCR became on their last (Danger Days) album, the only MCR albums with genuine claim for emo are the first 2. Fall Out Boy has more in common with Jeff Rosenstock and Blink-182, than with early MCR.
>>130708247>They aren't the same genre AT Allcorrect>FOB is what MCR became on their last (Danger Days) albumwildly inaccurate>the only MCR albums with genuine claim for emo are the first 2.you still aren't defining what "emo" is supposed to be
Unlike MCR, FOB has actual Hardcore roots. They're legit. And they still retained a great attitude, used to think they sold out with their new albums but it's not that simple.
FOB hardcore roots : skate punk, pop punk https://www.albumoftheyear.org/album/8796-fall-out-boy-take-this-to-your-grave.php https://youtu.be/oPIuxW2VIRE?si=iJZhH5UucaHjpbzE (kek) VS https://youtu.be/HSAXVVl9BUU?si=IVdjfig9jplPpPHD
why are people even arguing? both bands are in burnout 3 so they're both kino in my book
>>130697260The only thing worth listening to after they reformed is the Pax-Am Days EP where they're doing punk cosplay which is a much more interesting prospect than them chasing the pop trend of the moment. Everything prior to that is worth investigating because it shows a band who evolved their sound in a logical way. I won't ride hard for Folie a Deux cause it very clearly is the precursor to post-hiatus material and has some heinous singles, but that being said it's not completely soulless unlike the post-hiatus shit which is. Folie is like 80% sold out.FUTCK>TTTYG>IOH>FOBEOWYG>FADTo be honest the only band that didn't completely embarrass themselves by going for it were Paramore in my opinion. Their pivot from pop punk to pop was the most seamless. MCR made Danger Days, but the Conventional Weapons EPs set made up for that misstep.
>>130697260OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OHOH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH OH
>>130709658God, I hate ParamoreFOB > MCR > PATD > ParamoreSuch a bad pathetic band.
>>130708724The first album is post-hardcore ninny.
>>130709186I don't understand the point of your post whatsoever.
>>130709658Paramore never made good music to begin with. They're the most overrated band out of these.
I dislike the lead singers voice.
>>130714059>They're the most overrated band out of these.Because they're not even in the same category. Whoever made the image a quatrafecta was tweaking. Those 3 bands are a legitimate collective listening experience Paramore, Evernescence, etc., are not included in.
>>130714126Early Paramore is more "emo" than either FOB or Panic!, the one band that is a "fish out of water" is Panic! they weren't "emo" AT ALL 2 FOB members played in bands of emo 2nd wave in Chicago, were influenced by Green Day, but also by The Get Up Kids and JEW, but quickly became pop-rock/pop-punk. MCR was literally emocore and phxc in their first album, influenced by Misfits (punk, the very genre that birthed emo in the 80s) Fugazi, Thursday... + Iron Maiden/Queen (which took over in TBP) unlike retards like to claim, MCR was never pure pop-punk, phxc -> emo-pop/phxc-> glam/alt-rock/pop-punk... Paramore didn't have any direct link, like FOB or MCR, were influenced by Blink, but also by JEW, Death Cab, SDRE... early albums are textbook examples of emo-pop, more distant from pop-punk than FOB was. Panic! was baroque pop/punk + cabaret + indie from the get go, they were only "scene" with no connections to any actual emo, nor even influences. They're as emo as Ice Nine Kills.
>>130716149Emo is not an aspirational label. It doesn't matter who was more emo than whom, because that's not the point in question.
>>130697260The first time I ever fingered a girl, she put on this album, so it's alright by me.
>>130697260They were very good.Favorite album: American PsychoFavorite Song: Uma Thurmandid they fall off: yes. one might even say they "fell out" but it's not fair to say they fellate.
>>130714126Paramore is more like Fall Out Boy and MCR than Evanescence. Their only similarity is female lead vocalist. That's not grounds for anything other than casual misogyny.
>>130714126evanesence is watered down nu-metal and has nothing to do with the four bands mentioned
>>130716530Paramore sounds NOTHING like Evanescence, which is symphonic/alt metal, Paramore is the closest to MCR, followed by FOB. Panic! shares little in terms of composition style/sound/genre with Paramore or MCR, it is the weakest link out of the 4.
>>130700487thats ok but ywnbaw
>>130716796fingering is lamehandjobs are lame
>>130717077Completely and utterly missing the point.
>>130717124It's not about their genre but about their consumers.
>>130717240All three of you are ninnies with terrible reading comprehension. Who sounds like who does not matter whatsoever at all, because the three distinguished bands in question did not sound like each other at all in the first place, and yet are a category of *something* all the same. Your brain couldn't grasp what that may have been, though.
