Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 97

it's insane how Patrick made Soul Punk so close after they did Folie

my mans was on one fr

 

He was drinking a lot, according to the lyrics on Run Day (X Heart X Fingers) hahaha

 

The correct order isn't drastically different. It solves some issues I had with the incorrect order: Young and Menace shouldn't be the opener, Stay Frosty Milk Tea should be the opener, Young and Menace shouldn't be followed be Champion, and Sunshine Riptide shouldn't be the penultimate track. The Last of the Real Ones coming before instead of after Hold Me Tight or Don't didn't throw me out of the loop as much as I expected. Probably my only gripe--a minor one--is I think now that Young and Menace and Champion are pushed into the second half of the album, the first half is now even more energetic in comparison to the second than it already was.

tl;dr This is good. I can get used to this.

 

I do think the correct order makes the album top heavy but I think that's worth it to not have such a sloggy start the other way

 

It's just not the time or place but if I see him come around the Yellowcard thread we're gonna have a discussion.

 

The correct order makes Champion sound even better, and I initially didn’t like that song

 

I’m giving Soul Punk a legit chance for maybe the first time??? and some of this is cool af and more up my alley than most post-hiatus FOB. Everybody Wants Somebody is

 

Champion has grown so much on me - my bottom three tracks are Sunshine Riptide, Hold Me Tight or Don't, and Young and Menace (although I don't necessarily dislike any of those three)

 

it's really an incredible achievement

 

Church, Sunshine and Real Ones are my current favs

 

You really would think so.

 

It's hard for me to fairly rank these all since the pre-release tracks are so much more familiar to me still.

Top three right now is probably: Wilson, Church, and Young + Menace.

Bottom three: Stay Frosty, Sunshine Riptide, Champion. That's in order from favorite to least favorite, even though I have definitely come around to Champion now. I wish I liked Stay Frosty as much as everyone. Sunshine would probably be lower than Champion if it weren't for the Burna Boy verse.

Best moment on the album is the Bishops Knife Trick bridge.

 

Wilson church and hold me tight are the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth

 

soul punk is the best album, i love it when people get excited about soul punk

 

I bought my mom soul punk for Christmas in 2011

 

the Prince production on Soul Punk >>>>>>>>>>>

specifically "The 'I' in Lie"

 

The only Soul Punk track I liked was Spotlight and even then I prefer the alternative (oh nostalgia) version

 

I've never heard Soul Punk. Guess I should fix that, huh?

 

So happy to see an appreciation for Soul Punk here. The album was largely ignored and written off. from a vocal perspective, he gained so much confidence in that era. his falsetto all over the album is to die for. The bass and groggy guitar in Allie make me so happy. I based my clothing off his style during this era.

 

This is definitely growing on me with each listen.

 

I’m still shocked how much I like this. I remember hearing Young and Menace when they dropped it last year and then Champion and I really thought this was gonna be awful

 

"You said you were protected...I thought you meant you had a guuuUuUuUun."

Allie is a jam.

 

Champion was typical mediocre single fare but young and menace was so weird and out there that even though I didn't like it at first I was intrigued about what this album would be like from the start. once hold me tight dropped and I saw Wilson clips live I knew they'd come through

 

Re: TTTYG, it's hard for me to get excited about it when Cork Tree does its best parts way better. Also Patron Saint chorus has the same vocal melody as Cute Without The E

 

jason got mad at me once on ap for saying soul punk was better than jimmy eat world's futures

i stand by my (good and correct) take
