Fall Out Boy - American Beauty/American Psycho
18:54:00Fall Out Boy have been a huge inspiration for me, throughout all of my teens and up to the present day. They're the only band that I've followed from early on, when no-one really knew who they were. Fall Out Boy definitely take me back to my 'Grebo Days' - oh those days were very good! I first heard this band from an event I went to every weekend called Teen Culture. It's a teen version of a night club & you get given EP's and badges for free to hear about new and up and coming artists. At this point I was at school so I've been a fan of Fall Out Boy for between 12-13 years. Their music throughout their career has been just amazing, I've loved every album - all in different ways. They have a great way of using music to express their emotions unlike some bands that may loose their way, I feel that Fall Out Boy have always stayed true to their music beliefs.
Anyway, I've told you my story. On to the god damn music eh?
American Beauty/American Psycho is a great example of everything Fall Out Boy have previously done. Patrick's voice is so beautiful and he sings with such meaning. I have to be honest, all of Fall Out Boy's albums are catchy, I might be biased but they are!
My favorite tracks from the new album are:
Favorite Record - this is sooo catchy and has a pop beat feeling to it. It has a bit of an electro vibe as well.
Favorite Lyric - And when you ask, you ask me how I'm doing, Like you know, you know how much better off I am
Centuries - I really love this, I feel it's a message saying 'look we've been here a long time - it's our niche' and you know what, they're right!!
Favorite Lyric - We've been here forever, And here's the frozen fruit, I could scream forever
We are the poisoned youth
The Kids Are Alright - This is an example of a good catchy tune, I love this & the meaning behind it so much!
Favorite Lyric - I'm not passive but aggressive, Take note, it's not impressive, Empty your sadness, Like you're dumping your purse On the bedroom floor
What do you think of their new album?
