If you’re a big Fall Out Boy fan like me, I’m sure you’ve been more than content listening to any of their past albums. Heck, we were even blessed with one early last year, Infinity on High, as it has since gone double platinum, and is their most successful album to date. From Under the Cork Tree was a GREAT album as well. Basically anything FOB produces manages to succeed.
And if you are like me, upon listening through IoH numerous times, identifying with the lyrics, and just singing along when no one’s around, you probably have felt some sort of, well, emptiness. It was such a great album that you wished it never ended. Such a great piece of work is usually not followed up by something for a few years. I am glad that I discovered today that our wait as fans is ALMOST over.
Have I been out of the loop. I stopped looking for info after I had heard rumors that the new album wouldn’t be until early ’09 tops. A 2 year wait is pretty standard and acceptable. But out of curiosity today, I was doing some research only to find that Fall Out Boy’s new album, Folie a Deux, is arriving on Election Day, November 4th! What really sparked my interest was last night on 97X they played the first single off of the album, “I Don’t Care,” and I was instantly hooked. So I was like, so is this off of the live album ****? We had been hearing FOB guest appearances on other records, such as with Timbaland and a cover of Michael Jackson’s “Beat It.” Much to my joy, I found out about the new album! I can’t wait to get it, and of course, vote!
For your enjoyment, I have found the song on Youtube. It’s not a music video, but rather just the song set to a picture (which may be the album cover art!). Enjoy!
Catchy melody, biting lyrics, and a solid, steady beat with the effective drum work… as always. Why change a good thing?
