Fall Out Boy

I enjoyed all three of those albums. Folie a Deux tried to capitalize on a rather large amount of star power, there's a featured credit every other song or so. Despite that, it's a bit heavier than their other efforts, and I'd put it very close to Cork Tree for my favorite album of theirs.

I do still have a special spot in my musical-cavity for Fall Out Boy, especially the older albums. I think their newer cd's have pushed out from the teenage angst and melodrama that launched them to deal with the issues in their lives now that they're successful rock stars and music executives. While normally I'm all for artistic growth and development, in this case... I've come to realize my attachment to their earlier stuff is mostly emotional, it brings to mind mindless high school melodrama. It reminds me of ex-girlfriends and how complicated I thought my life was. I like their earlier cd's because they're angsty and emotional just like I was as a teenager.

ya know what's really sad is that last post there just reminded me that i still listen to basically the same music as i did in high school for the most part. namely: jagjaguwar and k records stuff. (i graduated about 6 years ago)
David_Dovey:
Fall Out Boy make such excellent excellent pop music and honestly it's pretty obtuse to suggest otherwise. The fact that I've never seen a band more eager to sell out and cram their entire existence full of product placement makes hard for me personally to support them in any way but that's my hang-up and I can't begrudge anyone else for liking them. Besides, everybody in the band who isn't Pete Wentz seem like genuinely nice and humble people and total music-lovers besides.
I heard they broke up last last year/early this year, though. Is that true?
Professor Snuggles:
Like Blink-182 before them, yes, they are on "Indefinite Hiatus."
