New FOB Album "Supreme"

Fall Out Boy's new album "Folie A Deaux" may not be transcending musical tastes, but it is very satisfy¬ing for loyal FOB fans. The album is rich with base pounding riffs from Joe Trohman and Pete Wentz, the group's lead guitarist and bassist, respectively. "Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet" is a rock ballad/love song. The upbeat tempo and wildly colorful lyrics are nothing new to Fall Out Boy listeners, but to those who have never been exposed to them, the themes often go over their heads. While the band may not be fully appreciated by many, the albumn "Folie A Deaux" is supreme. "What a Catch, Donnie" takes some lyrics from other FOB songs such as "This Ain't a Scene It's a Goddam Arms Race," "Sugar We're Going Down," and "Thnks Fr th Mmrs" and created a mural of what some would call the growth of a band. The song exhibits the voice talents of lead singer Patrick Stump and the creativity of the band as a whole. This thirteen track album does not disappoint this new FOB fan and is well worth the money paid for it. While finding out what each track means on a personal level, the listener may find out what the band meant by titling the album "Folie A Deaux" too.
