No more than their other albums in the "misses" category.

 

I can respect this. I'd say Folie, AB/AP, and FUCT are the top tier albums, then Infinity On High & SRAR, and then TTYG.

I couldn't really narrow it down any better than that though.

 

I think FAD has more and they took bigger swing and therefore bigger misses. But, I agree overall. They have misses on all their albums, that I've listened to. From what I've read it sounds like the last one fits that patterns

 

I think FAD is my favorite, with Save Rock & Roll behind it, but you know what's a song I haven't listened to since probably 2010? America's Suitehearts.

 

Kind of interesting thing I noticed when talking about these albums is that they are separated into stylistic pairs. TTYG/FUCT, IOH/Folie, SRAR/ABAP all very much belong together, but the second in each pair gives a pretty big hint towards what they will be going for next.

There was TTYG, then half step towards their more R&B influence sound on FUCT.
Then on IOH they fully went for that sound, and took a half step towards a more arena rock approach on Folie.
Then SRAR was the full step into the arena rock sound, and AB/AP was a half step to a more modern/electronic infused sound.
Now - and granted there's very little to go on, but based basically on Y+M - they seem to be more fully embracing that sound now.

 

IOH is their best, right?

 

Disloyal Order is probably my favorite opener though

 

I still really hate Winona, Tiffany, wams and West Coast. Especially those middle two

 

Wrong.

Right.

(In all seriousness, it's a respectable choice, but it doesn't even crack my top 3).

 

I don't think Folie has a bad song, though I'm pretty indifferent to IDC and Americas Suitehearts.

 

Thanks for hurting me, Steve :(

 

Can confirm FAD is their best. Listened today. West Coast Smoker kills it with that Debbie Harry feature, 20 Dollar Nose Bleed kills it with the Brendon Urie feature. Plus that little bluesy bit at the end is so good.
Only song I skip is America's Suitehearts.

But man oh man, headfirst slide, coffee for closers, (shipped) gold standard are all killer.

 

I probably go

FUTCT
IOH
FAD
TTTYG
SR&R




AB/AP

 

FAD
SRAR
IOH
AB/AP


FUCT


TTTYG

 

I'm not even going to do my ranking, it'd just piss people off

 

IOH
SR&R = FAD
FUCT
TTTYG
ABAP

 

I Don't Care is FOB's best lead single. Music video is one of their best too. FAD is their best album.

 

IDC, wams, and America's Suitehearts are the only weak points on FAD, IMO. For a Pharrell production, wams falls flat but looking back it sounds like something that would fit in their sound today.

America's Suitehearts bugs me because I remember being so hyped for it when the CFOB demo came out. The rest of the song just doesn't mesh well I think. Great harmonies and guitars, though.

 

I'm kind of interested in the ranking of the openers that's going on right now, they have great ones usually

Disloyal
Thriller
Phoenix
Tell That Mick
Lawyers
Irresistible

 

FAD is 100% their best album. Only song I don't love on there is I Don't Care.

 

Those are the two I don't like on there.

I think it has less bad songs than any other FOB album though and has their best songs.

 

QFT

 

The run of songs 1-5 and 10-13 confirm it as their best. I'm not huge on Shipped Gold Standard's lyrics so that is probably my least favorite, but the rest of the record is good. IOH might be close to being my favorite because it was the first one I heard, but there's no dispute FAD is best

 

Openers:

Disloyal
Thriller
The Phoenix
Lawyers
Irresistible
Tell That Mick

They're all pretty good though.
