Totally disappointing.
It's not bad, I just don't like their change in style.
From Under the Cork Tree was amazing, I loved that pure rock essense. And they had the best one-liners.
Then Infinity on High was pretty great, but again, it was a different style.
Folie A Deux is okaaaay. Some really good songs, but they're no longer in my highest praises. It's so... pop-ish. The lyrics are still good though, just not fantastic. Oh, and I hate the staccato singing! It's like "You. Can. Bow. And. Pretend...". The songs where Patrick sings all low is so.. ugh. I did notice that his voice dramatically improved since Take This To Your Grave; it's waaaay more stable. But now he's trying all these jazzy techniques and now it's not the Patrick voice I love. Dearest Mr. Andy Hurley's drumming is still amazing though.
I like Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes; What a Catch, Donnie; Coffee's For Closers; 20 Dollar Nosebleed.
Coffee's For Closers is the song closest to their old style so naturally, I love it. Patrick sang in his high range for this song, so I love it even more. And the violin ending is different, but cute.
Oh, 20 Dollar Nosebleed actually made me laugh at the beginning. It's just sooo different! So indie. It's such an adorable song.
Oh well, overall, I would say this album is a 7. Unless compared to From Under the Cork Tree, cause then it would be a 1. I still love you Fall Out Boy :)
I'll be your best kept secret, and your biggest mistake.
