Album Review: Fall Out Boy, ‘Save Rock and Roll’
Tuesday marks Fall Out Boy’s long-awaited return to the music world. We must have missed all the cries for more watered down pop-rock, but, alas, here we are. The band chose to title its comeback album Save Rock and Roll. We have a few ideas how to accomplish that task, none of which involve Fall Out Boy or this album.
Apparently this band has never heard the adage, “Less is more.” Every song on the album is so huge and over-produced that any sign of human touch has been erased from the album. Seriously, there is more grit in Taylor Swift’s latest album than you will find on Save Rock and Roll.
Fall Out Boy Is Back
Pop-punk juggernaut, Fall Out Boy, has announced a full-fledged comeback: New single, new tour dates and a release date for the band’s next album.
The new single, “My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light ‘Em Up),” reminds us that Patrick Stump loves catchy hooks and ridiculously long song titles. The video features the ubiquitous 2 Chainz lighting shit on fire, and it is kind of awesome.
The band released the following statement Monday morning:
When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. It’s why we started Fall Out Boy in the first place. This isn’t a reunion because we never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us.The future of Fall Out Boy starts now.
Save Rock And Roll…
Fall Out Boy will release Save Rock and Roll on May 7 and has a date with D.C. at the 9:30 Club on May 31.
