Fall Out Boy - MANIA (Jan 19, 2018) Album • Page 158

Easy highlight of the album

 

Hahaha I knowwwww but it's so plodding

 

What A Catch used to be my favorite FOB song but I've had no desire to listen to it in a long time

 

To me, it stops the album dead in its tracks and would be better slotted in after 20 Dollar Nose Bleed. I usually skip it and have felt this way since 2008

 

What a Catch is definitely a highlight, and clearly should've been the album closer instead of West Coast Smoker. I don't care () for that song at all

 

West Coast Smoker indeed sucks

 

"indeed"? bullshit. song rocks

 

I Love every single part about IOH but the song that really makes me wanna burst out into sing-song is The (After) Life of the Party.

Patrick sings the living hell out of that chorus and the ending is just....Chefs kiss!

 

I think Folie was ahead of it’s time. I hated it as a teen when it came out, but have really come to appreciate it the last few years. Think it’s better than IOH even if there’s a few tracks in the back half I don’t love.

 

Just super random, but the fact that Folie A Deux is going to be 15 next year its making my head explode already.

 

folie is one of the best-sequenced albums i can think of, lol, i think "what a catch" is the perfect mid-album ballad dividing up the two halves, and "west coast smoker" is on the level of "xo" for me in terms of leaving the listener with such a scorched-earth banger that you want to start the record all over again. "follow the disorganized religion of my head / and we'll never get through customs, let's just take off again instead" is one of my favorite stump melodies and wentz lyrics

 

Fully agree!

 

I am pro-West Coast Smoker. Probably my fav closer after Save Rock & Roll. XO in third

 

Bishops Knife Trick is one of their top closers imo. The bridge hits me hard each time

 

West Coast Smoker rules

 

Yep. definitely a contender for my favourite FOB song.

 

I’ve Got All This Ringing… is their best closer by a decent margin imo. Folie is far and away their best record tho for me.

 

Yeah, I love West Coast Smoker! One of my favorite closers of theirs.

 

This is the best take. Yes, yes, and YES.

 

Still hate that they didn’t play this live, despite Pete hinting that they would.

 

Listening to The Shipped Gold Standard and I think it might be one of my favorite FOB songs ever. The chorus just hits a chord with me every damn time.

 

That little drum turnaround after the first chorus is so simple but so cool

 

One of my all time favorites by FOB

 

100%
