Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust (March 24,2023) Band • Page 51

great closer too! very happy with this overall. already their most consistent for me since FUTCT.

 

Reality Bites soundbite is good, I should rewatch that. "I Am My Own Muse" is nuts, very mid-aughts emo-pop ("Thnks Fr Th Mmrs," "I Write Sins Not Tragedies," "Bird From a Worm").

Last time I'll harp on it, but Queen was not the vibe I was expecting going into this record, and there's not a bad thing.

 

834.194

one of my favorite rock records of the decade - Japanese band but incredible, pop funk fusion with orchestral elements

 

why does it sound like their Jungle Book cover

 

"Baby Annihilation" lol

I'm just melting wax on a birthday cake...

 

Joe shreds all over this. King shit really.

 

Don't love the lyrics on "What a Time to Be Alive" but the Earth, Wind, and Fire vibes are pretty immaculate

 

I think people use VPNs? I don’t know.I usually just wait these days. But I wouldn’t be against someone pointing me to where in a DM.

 

Secretly a little bummed Baby Annihilation wasn’t like a grindcore song or something lol but overall this is the most I’ve liked a FOB record on first listen since FAD

 

Yes, NZ time zone goes live with albums on YT at 7am EST Thursday mornings

 

Their best hit:miss ratio since...Folie?

Biggest "holy shit" moments for me are "Grudge", "Heaven, Iowa" and "I Am My Own Muse" (which along w Queen most obviously reminds me of....Muse, lol)

 

The singles are still so good

About to start the rest of the album

 

Damn, title track is so good. Yeah, a few songs I'm hoping will grow on me (mostly stretch of "Hold Me Like a Grudge" through "Heaven, Iowa") but I really, really enjoyed the rest of this. The arrangements (and not just the orchestral moments) really give it a weight this band hasn't had since Folie. Good stuff.

 

Samesies! I can't wait til tonight!!

 

There's moments on this that are pure delicious. Some songs sound straight out of a Broadway production and I mean this in a great way.

 

Love From the Other Side's intro is still just SO good. fuck.

 

I used to be an internet sleuth in my teenage years, and now i’m too dumb to find a link. I guess i’ll just wait til tomorrow haha.

 

i used to just use kingdom leaks. is that not a thing anymore?

 

shut down last year I think?

 

gottcha. rip to a legend.

 

Soul Punk heads losing their minds over Hold Me Like A Grudge rn

 

I discovered so much terrible music that shaped my high school/college years from downloading anything and everything on that site

 

Holy shit “Fake Out”.

 

Also a strong IOH meets MANIA vibe on that song.

 

That was What a Time for me
