Fall Out Boy Folie a Dull...

[originalpckelly]

My god, I've never heard an album of the same exact song played at various minutely different tempos. There is very little difference between their songs on this album, in other words. Only a few songs stand out from the rest, but mostly they all blend together. Shitty corporate pop played with electric guitars. :puke:

1. Nickelback, Jr.

3. It pisses me off...

Very few popular rock bands today that are producing really good music! :grr:

There has got to be a backlash against this shitty stuff someday. I looked at YouTube, and you should see all the negative reactions to the album preview. Everyone seems to agree that this is the same bland shit.

10. Yup. I spent exactly $20 this year on new music.

Because it (almost) all sucks. 2 CDs all year. Pathetic.

20. Almost all the albums I bought in the last two years are on independent labels.

Its cliche to say that the record industry is destroying music but maybe they're doing it more than usual right now.

15. There's tons of good stuff out there today..it's just not popular!

:shrug:

7. Holy shit...

:puke:

We need real music again.

14. What is that? Two songs mashed together?

[originalpckelly]

17. Two different songs...

that have the same chord progression, tempo, similar structure otherwise. I believe the point is to demonstrate how boring and recycled the material of that band is.

[leeroysphitz]

19. Now I get it. LOL. I heard two different sets of lyrics but didn't notice the rest

until the second listen. Wow and the RIAA still boo hoos that they can't sell albums even after pushing this cardboard cut out garbage on people for 18 bucks a disk.

18. That's freakn hilarious

you could do the same thing with ad/dc but at least their two songs don't suck.

2. huh

I heard them on the Jimmy Kimmel show this week and thought about giving them another chance. Maybe not.

8. It's complete crap...

waste your money at your own risk.

[Initech]

4. You expect the "THIS SONG GETS ME PUMPED!!!" band to put out anything worthwhile?

[originalpckelly]

6. Well, such a big deal is being made about it...

it really doesn't deserve it, not one bit at all.

9. they keep the guyliner business going.

not my taste and i just asked my 14 year old what she thought, "ewww, check please". :-)

[originalpckelly]

11. It's not that the way they look that matters, it's the way they sound...

and they sound like boring shit.

Their music is the equivalent of wearing granny panties and a frilly dress.

[AlCzervik]

12. its both for me, i don't care for their music or their poser looks.

but of course i'm not exactly in the demographic they're going for.

13. Not crazy about that CD

Also not crazy about the new All American Rejects CD, which surprised me. Move Along was very good.

Unlike much of DU, though, I have a more positive outlook on today's music. I find lots of stuff both in the mainstream and elsewhere. Critical favorites like Bon Iver, Santogold, Robyn (she can be good, but I find her new CD inconsistent,) Portishead, MGMT, and The Bug were overrated while I liked mainstream releases by Pink, Sheryl Crow, Katy Perry, R.E.M., Taylor Swift, Sugarland, B52s, The Killers, TV On The Radio, Duffy, Jewel, Coldplay, Cyndi Lauper, etc.

16. Your first mistake was listening to Fall Out Boy to begin with.
