Biography

Fall Out Boy is an American rock band formed in Wilmette, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago in 2001. The band consists of vocalist/guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley. The band originated from Chicago's hardcore punk scene, with which Wentz was heavily involved. The group was formed by Wentz and Trohman as a pop punk side project of their respective hardcore bands, and Stump joined shortly thereafter. The group went through a succession of drummers before landing Hurley and recording their debut album, Take This to Your Grave (2003), which became an underground success and helped the band gain a dedicated fanbase through heavy touring, as well as some moderate commercial success.

 

With Wentz as the band's lyricist and Stump as the primary composer, the band's 2005 major-label breakthrough, From Under the Cork Tree, produced two hit singles, "Sugar, We're Goin Down" and "Dance, Dance", and went double platinum, transforming the group into superstars and making Wentz a celebrity and tabloid fixture. Fall Out Boy received a Best New Artist nomination at the 2006 Grammy Awards. Their 2007 follow-up, Infinity on High, landed at number one on the Billboard 200 with 260,000 first week sales. It produced several worldwide hit singles, "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "Thnks fr th Mmrs". Folie à Deux, the band's fourth album, created a mixed response from fans and commercially undersold expectations. Following the release of Believers Never Die - Greatest Hits, the band took a hiatus from 2009 to 2012 to "decompress", exploring various side projects. They regrouped and recorded Save Rock and Roll (2013), which gave the band their second career number one and produced the top 20 single "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)".

 

While Fall Out Boy's music has been typically described as pop punk and pop rock, the band were generally seen in the mid-2000s at the forefront of the "emo pop" explosion. Take This to Your Grave has often been cited as a vital blueprint for pop punk music in the 2000s. - Wikipedia

Why whenever any given slow song comes up, there must be a commentary in this thread of how "boring" and "nauseating" it is? Not all songs can be midtempo or uptempo, you know.

I like a lot of Fall Out Boy's stuff, but not this. So whiny it's unpleasant.

Fall Out Boy are a bit hit and miss with me (I find Pete's voice grating on the whole) but 'This Ain't a Scene..', 'Thnks Fr Th Mmrs' & 'My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark' are fantastic. This'll be my first listen of this.

So good for Fall Out Boy. "Centuries" is growing on me :)

I actually prefer their earlier material, its not that bad, its just pretty average.

Eh I'm not too keen on this so far. But I'm pretty sure I heard the melody of 'Tom's Diner' in there somewhere. *.*

I quite like Centuries :kink:

You mean Patrick? ;)

Good to see Fall Out Boy get another Top 40 hit. The jury's still out on 'Centuries' for me though!

You mean Patrick's voice, right?

 

EDIT: Beaten to it!

 

EDIT 2: I love Fall Out Boy and am glad to see they can still achieve hits but this song really doesn't do anything for me. :/

There are also usually positive comments about such songs. BuzzJack is more than one person and people have different opinions.

 

'Centuries' is quite decent, Fall Out Boy by numbers really but that was only to be expected.

I quite like Centuries :kink:

Yeah, me too! Not as good as 'My Songs...' but still pretty catchy, I like his voice too. Sad this got a midweek release becuse I higher peak would've been nice.

I actually like this a lot on first listen - heaps better than My Songs... which I never got into because of that non-event of a chorus. Sugar, We're Going Down and Dance Dance by FOB remain anthems.

Eh I'm not too keen on this so far. But I'm pretty sure I heard the melody of 'Tom's Diner' in there somewhere. *.*

 

Was about to say exactly the same thing. Wouldn't surprise me if they have to give Suzanne Vega a share of the royalties.

 

Quite low down despite being quite high on Itunes. Obviously they're not a very steam-friendly band.

 

I hope Suzanne Vega is getting songwriter's royalties

Oops yes Patrick, I think Jameela saying Pete's name threw me off. :lol:

Not the first time I've heard "Tom's Diner" sampled.

 

"Ugly Heart" way too low. Especially considering its iTunes position. :(

Ugly Heart :wub: One of the best songs in the chart. Still so so sad about Simone :(.
