post 23 Juliann hyatt i still listen to Fall Out Boy

I’ve realized that my music taste is strange and hard to put into a cohesive playlist that isn’t “songs to punch you in the face” or “songs to commit felonies to” so I bring you the next best thing: “A Tasting Platter of Fall Out Boy Albums over the Last Two Decades”. Please enjoy as I expose my leftover Fall Out Boy obsession from middle school

“The Patron Saint of Liars and Fakes”
Album: Take This to Your Grave, 2003
This song pretty much embodies the main elements of this album; a tangentially related title, the lead singer’s early singing career voice, a “screw you” theme throughout the lyrics, along with a dose of self hate sprinkled in here and there.

 “Our Lawyer Made Us Change the Name of this Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued”
Album: From Under the Cork Tree, 2005
Here we have the long and unrelated titles that Fall Out Boy is notorious for, tied together with a theme of “well, we’re famous, but that’s about it” mixed with a touch of a god complex.
“Hum Hallelujah”
Album: Infinity on High, 2007
In my opinion, this album has a lot to do with realizing that you’re really not all that important, but maybe just enough to those around you, and really tries to put you in your place in the whole scheme of things
“What a Catch, Donnie”
Album: Folie à Deux, 2009
This album I could write an entire dissertation about, but I’ll try to keep it short. Not a single song of this album can capture the feelings of it. It caused the band to go on a hiatus after it was ill received by the fan base and also because of the pressure on them to make music leading to physical altercations and attempted suicide in the band. I chose this song because it’s by far the most emotional of the album and in my opinion represents the state of the band at the time, and also pays tribute to their earlier songs in the bridge.
“Save Rock and Roll” (ft. Elton John)
Album: Save Rock and Roll, 2013
This was their comeback album. This is their song about their comeback. It has a few callbacks to earlier songs they had written, like “going down swinging” in the bridge. This album is also the first and only to include songs featuring other artists. (I refuse to acknowledge the Demi Levato re release of a song on the next album as legitimate)
“Immortals”
 Album: American Beauty/American Psycho, 2015
Some of you might recognize this song as it was in Big Hero 6. This album introduced a new sound for the band, probably as a means of changing music with the times. Also, the titles of the songs on this album correlate to the song itself, which is shocking.
“HOLD ME TIGHT OR DON’T”
Album: M A  N   I    A, 2017
I like this album brings a nice bit of closure to the earlier love themes in earlier
albums, as it has a theme of “I’d like you to be here, but I don’t depend on it”
