ARE YOU READY FOR ANOTHER BAD POEM

one of the best FOB moments hands down

 

Mighty Fall and Rat a Tat are both great songs that just unfortunately have features I could do without

 

"Miss Missing You" >>>>>>>

 

Alone Together >>>>>>>>>>>>

 

You get ittttt

was definitely a sonic sequel to Coffees for Closers imo

 

Still can’t believe how much “better” Pat sings after the reunion. He definitely learned how to sing in a much healthier manner. They also mixed his vocals much differently

 

I’ve been listening to Alone Together lately since I’ve been seeing that #AloneTogether campaign a lot lol

 

American Beauty / American Psycho has some jams on it as well!

 

It really does. A lot of the writing reminds me of TTTYG.

 

SRAR #1

 

I love MANIA. That's it.

 

I wanna give this post a BoOoOoOoOoOoOost

 

MANIA has some of my all-time favorite FOB songs - Stay Frosty, Last of the Real Ones, Wilson, and Bishops Knife Trick.

I love the verses of Stay Frosty. And "The only thing that's ever stopping me is me" in the chorus? Awwww yeah. Last of the Real Ones is just a ton of fun. I love the chorus in Wilson too, as well as the line "I became such a strange shape from trying to fit in". BKT is absolutely heartbreaking for me. That bridge ("I know I should walk away, but I just wanna let you break my brain") and the emotion in Patrick's voice when he says "And I can't seem to get a grip!" Nearly brings me to tears every time.

AB/AP has great tracks too. I absolutely LOVE Jet Pack Blues, Novocaine, and Favorite Record. And Twin Skeleton's is a great finale to the album. Kids Aren't Alright is a banger too.

 

Still can’t stand AB/AP outside of like two or three songs

 

I know this is a hot take in other places, probably is here too, but I genuinely think MANIA is the band's best album. I also think AB/AP is highly underrated and is largely made up of some of the band's best songs.

 

I love MANIA overall, but I think Champion and the title track suck. Sunshine Riptide is fine. But for an album with 10 tracks, that leaves me with 7 great tracks, 70% of the album, so that's a C overall, SORRY

 

Unlike wine the bad takes don’t get better with age.

 

FOB is great bc any of their albums can be my favorite at any given time. I’ll go through periods where all I want to do is listen to AB/AP or IOH or whatever. Most recently it was IOH, before that it was Mania. I’m excited for what’s next!

 

Are you talking about Young & Menace? There isn’t a title track on MANIA

 

hah yeah, that one. See how much I care about it?

 

AB/AP is the only FOB album that I really don't care for at all. IOH is probably still my favorite. The frenetic pace is addicting.

 

Sunshine Riptide is the only track I don't love on MANIA. I like it, don't love it.

 

Man that album dropped when I was going to school in San Jose and I would listen to Sunshine Riptide while riding my bike to campus and it'd be hot af and it was just perfect.

 

I've said it before but MANIA is the post-hiatus album that feels the most "FOB" imo. I love SR&R but it could be a different artist a lot of the time besides the lyrics/vocal melodies, but something about the vibe/aesthetic of MANIA feels just like FAD or IOH to me

 

Young and a Menace is underwhelming because they've never really done anything cool with it live.
