Win FOB Stuff!!
FALL OUT BOY’s latest album ‘Folie A Deux’ is released Monday 15th December and despite the band’s obvious appeal, they refuse to pander to critics. Bassist / lyricist Pete Wentz proclaimed “Honestly, we have never been a critically acclaimed band or ‘cool’ band, but we have always moved the needle because of our fans and we don’t want that to change” shortly before finishing the new record. Despite having developed their sound over the course of their previous albums to get to the point they find themselves at with ‘Folie A Deux’, Fall Out Boy are essentially the same band, full of insanely catchy hooks and choruses. They’ve also diversified their sound to encompass all that they’ve been through in the past seven years.
‘Folie’ features a number of rather famous cameos and the impressive ‘What a Catch, Donnie’ is a slow-building, all-star singalong featuring Elvis Costello, Panic at the Disco’s Brendon Urie, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travis McCoy, Alex deLeon of The Cab and William Beckett of The Academy Is. Other intrinsically cool guest appearances come from Lil Wayne who makes an appearance on the hip-hop tinged ‘Tiffany Blews’ and The Neptunes who take over production duties on ‘w.a.m.s’.
