Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust (March 24,2023) Band • Page 110

I think Fake Out might be my favorite here. So damn catchy.

 

my first album was so much for stardust

 

This is probably my most listened to part of the album lol

 

definitely not going for the same thing as What a Catch.

 

I was trying to think of an appropriate comparison. My point of reference would be something like All My Friends Are In Bar Bands by The Wonder Years or It's Not Interesting by Spanish Love Songs, but they didn't invent the concept. I picked What A Catch because it's, you know, FOB. My point was it's a reprise.

And reprises can be good, just this one here, the syntax of the line does not work for me in its new context. I think it would be better if they had cut the "I'm not sure" part and just kept "What would you trade the pain for". If it works for others then hey, I'm happy to be in the minority.

 

my first album was either aaron carter "aaron's party," backstreet boys "millennium," or n*sync "no strings attached"

can't say for sure which

 

But “I’m not sure” is a great part.

 

The "I'm not sure" makes the line IMO

 

Millennium for me, but Aaron’s party was close by

 

First self-purchased album was Foo Fighters - The Colour And The Shape... I wanted that, but my mom would only let me get the Toy Story soundtrack for some reason so I went back to Target on my own like a week later and got it myself.

Edit: Toy Story, not the Buzz Lightyear soundtrack lolol

 

Buzz Lightyear soundtrack? Like for the show?

 

lol I meant Toy Story. It's been a long day.

 

I was gonna say, that sounds really weird haha

 

This album has made me realize I'd like to see them take a stab at a Bond song.

Also noticing a lot of Coheed-esque parts in a lot of the songs.

I keep thinking he says "somewhere between Mike Tyson and Leno" in Flu Game

 

The dual guitar riff in the bridge of heaven iowa is extremely coheed

 

this is exactly how I felt regarding this album

 

If you like the gothic orchestral tracks on this album and still think you don’t like Mania, I strongly encourage you to listen to Church, Heaven’s Gate, and Bishop’s Knife Trick. It’s a slightly different production style, but they’re cut from the same cloth.

 

oh good, we're finally ready to talk about how there are MANIA vibes aalllll over this album. i've been waiting

 

this album to me is a love letter to IOH and Mania

 

Nope, got a minute into that and turned it off. Hate that Imagine Dragons sounding production.

 

which one? Church is definitely the weakest of the three and benefits least from the production. I can’t actually imagine Bishop’s Knife Trick in any other style, and I have a soft spot for Heaven’s Gate because I danced to it at my wedding.

 

A local record store has copies of Folie!

Even though I'm not a fan of Mania, I feel like I have to give it another shot.

 

Listened to those three Mania tracks, Bishop's is good but I don't hear an ounce of correlation between those other two songs and this album lol
