Folie a Deux Set
Description
For their third major label release, Fall Out Boy return as twice-minted multi-platinum celebrities and deftly deliver what they came to: A huge rock album by a huge rock band. Having already lost any shred of punkdom that the '00s strand of emo ever had, the Illinois quartet seems unfettered by their chosen genre's boundaries and dive headlong into a loud stew of affecting power pop, glam, and classic rock hooks. The debut single, "I Don't Care," reimagines "Spirit in the Sky" as an anthem for the skinny- jeans-and-guyliner set with scathing bon mots like "I don't care what you think as long as it's about me" courtesy of bassist-lyricist Pete Wentz. Singer-guitarist Patrick Stimp adds newly soulful and loose vocal phrasing to his usual arsenal of open-throated choruses-with particular strength on cuts such as "Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" and "What a Catch, Donnie," a stringed power ballad that features guest appearances by Elvis Costello and Travis McCoy of the Gym Class Heroes. Also featuring guest appearances by Pharrell Williams and Debbie Harry, FOLIE a DEUX doesn't break the mold, but will remind everyone of why Fall Out Boy conquered the world in the first place. Review "But it's certainly no delusion that he and the rest of Fall Out Boy display more depth here than they ever have before." -- Hartford Courant "Vocalist Patrick Stump continues to be one of the sharpest, smoothest vocalists in the game" -- Fort Worth Star Telegram"Fall Out Boy conquered a segment of the world with pop songs that everyone can shout in their cars, and the band should be applauded for wanting more out of their music as they mature" -- Chicago Tribune"Mr. Stump's vocals are the soul of the band. He's able to sustain unusually rich timbres on very high notes. It's the sort of effect typically added by studio technicians in post-production, but Mr. Stump comes by it honestly." -- Washington Times"Wentz may be the face of Fall Out Boy, but Stump is the band's not-so-secret weapon, and together, they're fast becoming one of the slickest, most formidable tag teams in modern rock." -- Detroit News
