Time for serious questions...
...what the fuck is up with FALL OUT BOY??
I'm not really sure what to think about the new album "Save Rock 'n' Roll".
I mean they got great musicians working with them on this album. Courtney Love, Elton John and so on.
Maybe most of the fans think, it is a great album. Sure it is, otherwise it wouldn't be that successful but I have to admit, that I'm a bit disappointed.
Fall Out Boy was a pretty good pop punk band to my mind. Nice melodies that stuck into your ears, charming lyrics that you can sing along and of course good looking guys.
Talking of outward appearances...did you notice, that Patrick Stump lost weight? Before I knew, that Fall Out Boy will release "Save Rock 'n' Roll" I thought about them and wanted to listen again to some stuff. So I searched on youtube and found out, that Patrick Stump looks like some years younger now because he got sooo thin.
Okay back to their new album:
"My Songs know what you did in the dark (light em up)" is the first single release from that album. I play it very often at the radio station. On the one hand I like it very very much. It raises me up with it's drum beats and sing-alongs. Moreover Patrick Stomp has this strong, catching voice. You can't ignore him, when he's singing

(listen to this guitar sound in the background!)
I love when he sings "in the dark, dark!"
ON THE OTHER HAND it is a pretty easily written pop song. The song only consists of chorus, singalongs and bridges. Actually I'm not a fan of unsubtantial songs. The whole album to me sounds sooo different than that, what I know from Fall Out Boy. I even couldn't listen to the songs completely because I didn't like, what I heard.
Maybe I should give it one more try.
Look here for their new single "My songs know what you did in the dark (light em up)
