Quite aweful Submitted on: 2009-10-17 |

| I am convinced these guys lost it after the first album. Once again fame, fortune, and MTV destroys a band that had some potential. |

| I bought this album in the store, because I was curious as to what could ever top the last album (Infinity On High, fantastic album btw), I was slightly differnt, I found my self immediately falling in love with "I Don't Care", "Coffees For Closers", and "Tiffany Blews", but this entire album, pieced together was some of their best, with all the chaos, ironclad tight harmonies, it's an album, I can dance to, I can Run to, or just sing out loud, (though quite off key some times). Totally recommend this album to anyone looking for something fun the listen to. |

Subduing the Fall Out Submitted on: 2009-09-08 |

Minus the kinetic energy of Infinity on High but still driving home the massive hooks they're known for, Fall Out Boy goes for the maturity prize on "Folie A Deux." Given that their pals in Panic At the Disco couldn't survive the change that created Pretty. Odd., it's interesting to note that the maturity seems tentative. There's the glammy lead off single "I Don't Care" and a string laden power ballad, "What a Catch, Donnie," but the sounds you'd expect come through on the harmony laden "America's Sweethearts" and the semi-pretentious song titles.
What's missing is that funky sense of exuberance that marked "Infinity" and From Under the Cork Tree. Just because you can get Elvis Costello to sing a line on one of your better songs and get the Neptunes to produce a track (the otherwise un-memorable "w.a.m.s.") singles more a shark jump than capturing artistic cred. Just ask The Hives, who made the great Black And White Album with Pharrel Williams only to see it vanish like their previous albums did. FoB are big enough to not worry, yet, but the somewhat subdued nature of "Folie A Deux" begins to raise the questions. |

By far their best Submitted on: 2009-07-26 |

| I'm confused at the other reviews stating that there's nothing new on this album. It's much different than other Fall Out Boy music. After making the same album (TTTYG) two more times (FUTCT, IOH), Fall Out Boy finally makes something different. Folie A Deux explores different ranges of emotion, is immensely personal, and a lot more fun. Folie A Deux basically means "shared delusion," which is alludes to Pete and Patrick: Pete writes the lyrics and Patrick writes the music and sings, and he sings passionately words that aren't about him. I'm happy Fall Out Boy did not try to write Take This To Your Grave again and instead came out with something much different, and much better. |
