Save Rock And Roll

In the past few weeks I was steadily growing more excited, but I was also afraid I was going to be disappointed. But it's finally here, and it was very much worth the wait. Save Rock and Roll is unapologetically loud, fast, passionate...and imperfectly perfect. I think this record has brought them full circle. This IS Fall Out Boy. It feels like they have created a living memorial to all of their previous albums. The unrestrained energy of Take This. The tongue-in-cheek and determination of Cork Tree. The anything-and-everything-could-happen music styles of Infinity. And the soaring vocals of Folie. I can feel them all echoing. If this hadn't come after a hiatus, I would have thought this was meant as a goodbye. But there's undeniably something new and exciting about every song. It's infectious and fun and feels like a natural progression while still keeping everything I've always loved about them. Maybe it is a goodbye to the past, making way for whatever comes in the future. But, if this is the last that we are given from Fall Out Boy... I am content with this. It feels like an end, but somehow also like a beginning. And I am so thankful to Andy, Joe, Patrick, and Pete for creating it. I loved this album. It made me smile uncontrollably. It made me cry. It made me remember. It made me want to jump up and move. It made me want to take a drive and blare it while singing as loud as possible. Every single second was golden to me.

Needless to say, yes, I'm kind of a fanboy (actually I'm a woman, but still). This is a complete album start to finish. There is no song that I dislike. I will admit, that when I first got it, I listened to it constantly for roughly two months straight, as did the people that work with me... If you're a fan of FOB (old school days, I'm pretty sure we're the same age), then yes, you'll enjoy it. If you're a lonely girl... yes you'll love it. If you're a lonely boy... yes you'll love it. If you're having a s***ty time in life... it's kind of positive. It has a little bit of everything in it. Even if you're naughty... there's something in there for you too. The videos are priceless as well, if you enjoy such things (90's kids, we love that s***). I kind of like to re-arrange the songs a bit... make a bit of a story out of it. Like most artistic things, people like to interpret them as to fit the situation they are in. This album is all over my situation, which is why I enjoy it so much I suppose. I do highly suggest it. I can't wait for the summer tour... At least then I'll get to be alone together with my boys, which is how I feel most of the time these days.

I have loved Fall Out Boy since I stumbled upon their first album in an old record shop, "Evening Out With Your Girlfriend". I continued to love them through all of their ups and downs. Infinity on High is my least favorite of their records - it felt less like FOB and more like a record they needed to release to keep their name out there. Don't get me wrong, there are a few great tracks on there but I don't listen to more than half that CD. Folie a Deux really blew my mind and brought them back for me - that's why I was so surprised that they went on a hiatus. I felt like they had found their vibe, found what made them love music. I was wrong. This is their best yet. I can't skip any track. the wonderful lyrics are back and they've grown up. They play their instruments like it is a part of them, Patrick's voice is always amazing and you can't help but rock along with each song. Each song brings something different and shows a new way that the band has grown. THese aren't the same boys from From Under The Cork Tree - these are men who are now a rock band that are ready to remind you why you fell in love with them in the first place. Welcome back, guys.

The title of the album pretty clearly gives away the meaning of this album to "Save Rock N Roll" in a society that is so concentrated on synthesized and electronic music, this albums gives a good combination of the traditional instrumental with the new fad of what I'm going to call remixing. Although there is tonalities to the electronic the sound is, at the core, a rock album. As a fan of the older Fall Out Boy music, I must admit I was skeptical about this new album after time away, and I was afraid they would loose what, at the core, I felt was Fall Out Boy. I am happy to say that I was wrong. Each song on the album has a sound that is different from their original stuff, but at the same time sounds like Fall Out Boy should. The album is catchy, up beat, and the song will get stuck in your head. The music itself has, dare I say, matured from the agnsty emo music of the younger days of the band, and has almost an R&B feel with Patrick's voice but the rock feel with the music and the band. But now on to each of the songs themselves. The Phoenix: I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it when they released the music video. It is clearly a "single", catch in an almost epic manner. The juxtaposition of the loud rock parts that are in your face and the calmer that are more understated parts just make the song work. My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em' Up): The other "single" on the record, as made evident by the single status. It is by far one of the catchiest songs on the album, with a hook that draws you in, then makes you want to start thrashing around like a wild child. The strong beat just begs for listener to sing along with. Alone Together: This song is more like the "Old" Fall Out Boy than the first two songs on the album. It feels like an anthem song with the cheering in the back ground and the "oh-oh-oh-ing" and the lyrics that really doesn't make much sense "My heart is like a stallion they love it more when it's broken". But then again, when has lyrics in any music made sense when taken out of context? However, when I listened to the album the first time, this song was the song I liked the most at first because of how simple it is. Where Did the Party Go?: Another song that sounds more like the "Old" Fall Out Boy, at first, but as it progresses has more a mature vibe. There is a clear beat constantly thought the song, and Patrick's voice has the opportunity to show off his range going from higher pitched, to a lower pitch within seconds of each other. Just One Yesterday: This song features the female singer Foxes. The song is slower than the other ones thus far on the record. It relies mostly on the vocals and the harmonizing between Foxes and Patrick is something that the first time I head made me fall in love with the song. To be honest, the first half of the album I could not deny was great and worthy of my money the first time listening to. The same could not be said about the second half. The Mighty Fall: This song features Big Sean. And I must say, it took me about five or six times listening to the song before it started to grow on me. My first though on the song was "Big Sean? Really? What are you guys thinking?" It's not a rock song, at all. I actually have a hard time categorizing where exactly this song falls in the music radar. In the middle there is a rap, with the beats of what could be a rock song, with hip-hop undertones at one point. It's hard to categorize it. It took me a while to like it because of all the confusion on what exactly it is, but it is certainly unique. Miss Missing You: Now that we've walked away from Big Sean you get Miss Missing You which right off the back sounds like we took a train back to the 1980's and picked up a synthesizer and started playing it next to Wham! And that tone is throughout the entire song. It's a drastic change from the previous song, and confused me even more the first time listening to it because of how it goes from a hip-hop/rock/rap to the 1980's pop. Not bad, defiantly diverse and unexpected, and shows just how different the band is. Death Valley: Now we get back to the "Rock N Roll" part of the album after take a side trip to Big Sean's house and the 1980's. It's not a bad song, but, in my opinion, one of the more forgettable ones on the album. Not forgettable as in "I can't remember the lyrics" but more in the aspect of "I forgot this one was on here even though I listened to the albums a million times because there are defiantly better songs on here that I love". If you get what I mean. Young Volcanoes: There is no question as to why Fall Out Boy decided to make this the third music video in their epic story that involves chopping off Patrick's hand and dancing around a table drugged up with naked women. It is one of the most catchy songs on the album that is bound to get stuck in your head, so beware. The raw sound of the acoustics brings the song fully around and gives it a fun vibe, with the unscripted laughing inserted it's a song about being young and living life to the fullest while you can. Rat A Tat: *Before reading the review for this song please beware of my extreme bias of dislike, I ask you go into each song with an open mind and I will try to be fair to the music despite this being my least favorite song on the album* To begin with Courtney Love. Actually, that's all I can really say, this feature on the album really made me cringe when the first words were "It's Courtney B****" It feels out of place in the song, and the song is rather repetitive. And I think it best to leave it at that before I begin ranting. Save Rock and Roll: This song features Elton John. At first, you think Elton John is playing the piano and not singing, like John Meyer playing their cover of Beat It, but then he starts singing. I will admit the first time I heard it, much like all the people I shared the song with, I was really freaked out when hearing Elton John singing about halfway onto the song. It's not something that I was expecting, but after the initial shock of Elton John (go figure) the song began to grow on me, to the point where I feel like I'm rocking out with Elton John going "You go Elton John you save rock and roll!" It's not what you would expect from fall Out Boy and the only song of theirs that this is even slightly comparable to is "What a Catch Donnie" and that is simply because it's a slower tempo with a piano accompaniment. After that, this is, in my opinion, like no other Fall Out Boy song, and is worthy of finishing the album off.

When I bought the album I had already been hooked on "My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark (Light Em Up)" its a catchy tune with an interesting music video. From track one (The Phoenix) the strong hook of the instrumental element of this song is amazing especially when you're playing it in the car with all windows down. Track six (The Mighty Fall, feat. Big Sean) is in my top three favorite from this album. The lyrics and the added versus from Big Sean makes this song great. Track 11 (Save Rock and Roll, feat Elton John) is my top favorite. Come on!! An awesome band like Fall Out Boy with the added greatness that is Sir Elton is just mind blowing. Save Rock N Roll in its entirety is a new revamped sound for Fall Out Boy. They've evolved as have their fans but with tracks like "Where did the Party Go" reminding me of the early days of the band. This isn't a departure from who they are, just evolving into greatness. I'm just glad Fall Out Boy is back again with an awesome album. This album is meant to be listening in a large open space or as previously stated in your car with the windows down.

Loved every song and listened to it multiple times. If your a FOB fan its definitely a must buy.

EXCELLENT MUSIC WOW! THIS IS TALENT IN SONGWRITTING ! But I want to say this: Who reads 464 reviews? Ok.. now... I am writing only to try to find out if PAUL STANLEY (from Kiss, of course) did background vocals on " Save Rock n Roll"? (it is NOT credited!) I SWEAR I hear him! And THAT was the reason I gave this song a chance (besides Sir Elton John! Excelent) (Although I did not like the videos... all of them) . His vocals (Stanley's) made my song, and is the VOICE I look forward to ... (in the last chorus). He's got a real Rock n Roll voice.... under appreciated! Anyone noticed???? If not, then... wow who it is? (Now... about the rating, this is a GREAT, EXCELLENT album, but I can't compete to get my message across if I rate it 5 stars ( which IT IS), so, I thought, If I wanted to be read by smart people (curious people on why anybody would rate this excellent album one star! sorry m my trick), I have a chance to get attention!) Thanks for reading

Aunque no soy fan de FOB desde hace muchos años, reconozco que el cambio de sonido les ha sentado genial. Era un cambio necesario después de tantos discos orientados al rock. A nivel de composición y ejecución este disco es una joya. Lástima que la voz pase a ser tan aguda, ya que le cuesta mucho a Patrick mantenerlas en los conciertos. A este precio es una compra obligatoria.

Me llegó en un muy buen estado, excelente calidad, esperaba me llegará el Vinyl rojo, pero llegó el tradicional

Very timely delivered by Amazon. The CD comes with a little booklet with lyrics of all the songs. The album itself, of course, is a work of art. Fall out boy never disappoints me.

L'acquisto dell'album, in versione digitale, vale davvero la pena: - file audio mp3 di ottima qualità; - prezzo conveniente; - piacevole anche il booklet digitale. Insomma, Amazon efficiente come sempre! I Fall Out Boy hanno sempre fatto della buona musica (per amanti del genere pop-punk-rock) e anche se questo ultimo loro album si discosta un po' dal loro sound, devo dire che mi ha stupito assai positivamente! Canzoni rapide, fresche, a tratti allegre e a tratti malinconiche ma sempre in grado di trascinare con il loro ritmo incalzante. Alcuni pezzi (quasi tutti in realtà) sembrano essere fatti apposta per essere ascoltati a tutto volume! Una cosa che vi farà (a mio parere) apprezzare ancora di più l'ultimo lavoro dei Fall Out Boy sono i video delle canzoni, pubblicati con una certa cadenza e tutti collegati tra loro mediante una trama avvincente come voler formare una sorta di lungometraggio unico. Geniale! Consigliato a tutti i fan dei Fall Out Boy non troppo tradizionalisti, agli amanti del genere e a chi vuole ascoltare qualcosa di diverso dalle solite canzoni che ultimamente passano le radio (purtroppo come numerosi altri artisti o gruppi talentuosi e una volta apprezzati, anche loro ultimamente sono assai sottovalutati e non considerati dai media nostrani... what a shame!)

とても素晴らしく聴き応え有りのオリジナルアルバム。クルマで、自宅で楽しんでいます。一曲目から最高にノリの良いので素晴らしい。
