Fall Out Boy Streaming New Album On Myspace

Fall Out Boy’s new record, "Folie À Deux", won’t be released until December 16, but fans can check it out in it’s entirety on the band’s Myspace until December 15.

The album was pushed back a month from its original release date of November 4. The band opted to delay the release so that it wouldn’t coincide with the November 4 U.S. General Election, saying that this wasn’t the election to be "cute". The album will feature guest spots from rapper Lil’ Wayne and Blondie singer Debbie Harry.

Fall Out Boy’s previous album, "Infinity On High", was released in 2007 and debuted at number one on the Billboard charts.

In other news, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and singer Ashlee Simpson just gave birth their first child together, whom they’ve named Bronx Mowgli Wentz. They just announced that they have asked Gym Class Heroes vocalist Travis McCoy to be the boy’s godfather.

seriously, they have some good songs, for what they are... I just can't stand all the hype that surrounds them...

[Drummer182]

Take this to your grave was a great cd but after that things went downhill very quickly.

[Sonny_sam]

I maintain that patrick stump has one of the best rock music voices out there at the moment. Even if they are over hyped and the only reason anyone has heard of the bassist is because he got his cock out on the internet, they still have some good music.

But he did have a really tine cock

Im suck at spelling and meant to say very tiny cock, im sorry community

[BlindS!ght]

They would be an ok band if pete wentz wasn't in it...

lol, wentz looks like fezz from that 70's show in the picture on the front page

[superunknown4]

I find it halarious that every time a Fall Out Boy article comes on this website, its always a picture of Pete Wentz.

[Dave Hoppus]

It's already released here in Japan.
Check the iTunes Japan Store ^^

[redhotsexmagic]

what a stupid name for a kid..i feel bad for his future girlfriend/boyfriend(might end up bein gay)that has to say "oh I love you bronx mowgli!" like seriously wtf?..anyway i like their music tho i'll probably get the album

[acade365]

fall out boy + lil wayne = world destruction

[ctb]

Woo! I'll have something to listen too tonight, thank you.

[RachelRC]

Whatever, you guys don't HAVE to like them, obviously, but denying that there's something there in their music is ridiculous. They're hardworking, great to their fans, and unlike almost everyone else in the business, they evolve with their records instead of running in place. I love TTTYG too, it came out while I was in highschool and I will never forget my first FOB show with like 15-25 people there, but they've progressed so much musically, and I super respect them for that. It's hard to change and keep your sound, but they do it, and they do it well.

Their new album is really awesome and Patrick is one of the best vocalists in rock music right now, his voice is amazing.

[mothmarwan]

terrible band man, terrible

[CaptainJack666]

egh they keep getting worse, i really wish theyd go back to a TTTYG style album

[QuantumMechanix]

^wow metal elitist. Get a life. I liked 'Take this to your grave' and 'From under the cork tree' was ok. They're not a bad band, it just sucks that Pete Wentz turned into a fashion icon rather than just be a normal musician. I think thats the reason they get so much crap.

[sebbsmith]

I read that this album is actually really good.

I mean.. YEH METUL 4EVA!!11!

checked

no more FOB bashing. don't like them? don't post.

their new album is a step further back for a band that started off strong with Take This To Your Grave. Every album has been a step closer to being pure pop, cookie cutter music. they need to record an album that sounds like shit, because then, i can be sure that they wrote it.

[r3conmarine90]

Wow wtf are yall talkin about? The only hype around them is negative hype cuz all of the insecure people who jump on the bandwagon against FOB. Their music is music, whether you like it or not, and if the can still survive and thrive even with people hatin on em then they obviously have somethin goin.

[pattslash]

i'll admit, their early stuff was very good.
now their just too poppy

[stradivari310]

Everybody who hates FOB should read the interview with Patrick on AbsolutePunk... he's a really down-to-earth guy, and he clears up all the stupid rumors about the band.

It's not Fall Out Boy or Patrick Stump that most people hate, its just that attention seeking primadona pete wentz.

[dobby240]

pete wentz gets too much attention for being in this band... i bet he does **** all for them the singer is really good though

[axejam123]

dude i kind of like fob. from a guy who really only plays gnr, aerosmith, and stuff like that, i think its cool how they dont give a s*** about what people flame them for. they have me convinced that they really just write what they think is good rock music, and frankly, i enjoy it. not to mention their songs are catchier than the flu.

[Strato-Massacre]

ahh, i remember the "take this to your grave" days. you know, before they got over hyped, and their egos swelled? i wish they still sounded like that. plus, wtf is lil' wayne doing on this album?

[chrisdazzo]

Love Fall Out Boy so much. Well, in a semi-dedicated fan way, not a 12 year-old girl way... lol This album was a nice surprise, especially after how almost-mediocre Infinity on High was. It's a funny thing: Every single time an album leaks onto the internet two weeks early, within a week from that point it premiers on Myspace. Same thing happened with the new AAR record, which is surprisingly good. Either way, kudos for a really amazing record, FOB. I listened to it 3 days straight (literally) after I first got it last weekend.

[mikko 9119]

Higgs, I thought the same.

I like the new record. I think if pete wasn't the frontman, there wouldn't be so much hate for them.
but I really do like the new one.

[stackedxactor]

so like...why is that one dude pete wentz like...the main focus...it's not like he's good at bass. everything i've heard by them he follows the guitar note for note. this band wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for that wentz faggot.

it's far from cookie cutter music. the arrangements and harmonies are well above what's on the radio.
yes, yes, we all enjoyed TTTYG. Get over it. I don't want to hear them make the same self-deprecating album with fast 4/4 guitar rhythms every 2 years.
artists have to evolve.

and these guys are really nice. i met them before they got famous. they're hard working musicians, and spent a lot of time out on the road to build the fanbase that got them famous. that's more than you can say for a lot of musicians today.

[DStobbs]

Pete Wentz has come far too far. It's remarkable. The man cannot play a bass guitar properly, what on earth do prodcers say or think when he does his bit on a record? His lyrics are written backwards and with titles that are far too long and uneccessery in most cases. For a so-called A&R man he has a complete and utter inability to find anyone fresh, exciting or talented, most certainly far too one dimensional in any case. He takes marketing and promotion to stupid and very pathetic levels (fancy allowing your cock to end up online for christ sake). And why and how is he always the star of his band videos when HE CANT PLAY HIS INSTRUMENT PROPERLY. IT IS A F***ING OUTRAGE AND WE SHOULD NOT BE GIVING HIM THE TIME OF DAY

[DStobbs]

And also...Bronx Mowgli? A dirty scrout like Travis McCoy as godfather? Either Wentz and the Mrs are completely f***ing disillusioned or it's once again bulls*** markerting...pathetic

[DStobbs]

*marketing

[Soozy]

hahaha how does it feel to be named after a cartoon character?

[atthedrive-thru]

take this to your grave is not that great, i think their cds got consecutively better starting with that cd. but the only reason everyone says that's their best is because they're jumping on critic bandwagons like rate your music. yeah, you're all true fans cuz you were listening to them before they got big and now you only listen to tttyg, ok, sounds elitist to me

[Alltimeanything]

The people on this site are unbelievable. I can't stand the way you guys bash this band so much. They're actually a pretty good band. If you don't like them then don't post. Sorry they're not metal because that seems to be the only thing liked by people on this site.

[tona_107]

gotta love the pic haha.
it seemms like UG always has the best pictures to post... or the worst depending on if you're pete wentz.
and i don't see why everyone gets their panties in a bunch and bashes these guys at every given moment... i am not fond of them either but it's getting pretty annoying..keep it to yourselves.

do any of you fans even consider the fact that maybe some people genuinely don't like their music?
u always seem to be insulting those who don't like fob even when they're not insulting you...

[Cobra Strike]

what has the world come to when fall out boy makes the front page.... :facepalm:

[.:!j.man!:.]

Has anyone else noticed how the 'checkers' have to nicely say 'leave MCR and FOB alone'

Its quite clear there hated as hell ... atleast let the contraversy run, its good entirtainmeant for readers like myself ^^

[seveninsign]

i am amazed at the low ratio of people professing their hatred of the band. personally, i feel like they have been taking more and more risks with each and every album. not necessarily in terms of radio singles, but over the course of whole albums. the first album was pretty straightforward, although a good listen for those of us who like punk-based pop music. from under the cork tree (like many, my first exposure to the band) perfected this style, with even catchier lyrics/instrumentation. infinity on high showed them straying away from their previous formula, with more ambitious songs, with more complex vocal arrangements and even some piano parts. thus far, i've heard i don't care (a reasonable single that goes back to their roots somewhat while still incorporating their newer, bluesier sound) and headfirst slide into cooperstown (which is so unlike anything i have ever heard on the radio, and at the same time more infectious than any song in recent memory). these two songs are both very enjoyable, and if the rest of the album is anything similar (i suspect there will be even more variation), this album could be their best, and most likely one of the best this year.

also: although pete is much too far into the spotlight considering his duties in the band, he did try to bring music videos back to mtv, and i have to applaud him for that.

[seveninsign]

sorry for the double post, but the appeal to patrick stump's voice comes from his incredible range and control. although in the past i had seen him fail at transferring his skill into the live performance, the live cd/dvd showcases his abilities very well. although he may not be the best singer around today (i consider stephen christian from anberlin to hold that title), he does have an incredible voice, and is better than most.

[Mapex21]

What's up with "if you don't like this band then you can't post" crap that comes up in nearly every article for certain bands? Perhaps it's saying something when nearly every comment is about how much people dislike the band.

[Deezlink]

do any of you fans even consider the fact that maybe some people genuinely don't like their music?
u always seem to be insulting those who don't like fob even when they're not insulting you...

They don't need to complain about not liking them. I mean complain, as in "
God help us...they're BREEDING." I'm neutral about the band, and seriously. If you don't like the music then that's fine. Making up witty remarks about "no, everyone knows they have a common vagina..." is acting like a 5 year old. Seriously.

[Roge23]

I'm impressed they have Weezy on the album

[customisbetter]

This album sounds like FOB decided to make a Panic at the disco record... but better. And i like Panic.
I applaud them for this fine piece of music and i wish them luck in their future musical endeavors into various other genres.

all you people who say we hopped the bandwagon are hypocrites. you all say we hop the bandwagon and tell us to get our own opinions. guess what some of us genuinely dont like the band. everyone does this on the guitar hero arcticles too, they complain how everyone is just saying they the game and tell them they are just hopping the bandwagon. reality is that more people say that we are hopping the bandwagon than actual flamers

get over yourselves

[Raizer Sabre]

they’ve named Bronx Mowgli Wentz.

what the hell kinda of name is that? if that were me, i'd rather just simply be referred to by the initials, at least that sounds better than the actual name and makes it sound like he was named after a car XD

[David_Bowie=GOD]

i loved their first album
second album was okay
third album was pretty bad
this one will probably be terrible(maybe they will suprise us though)

then again, if lil wayne's forever laughing ass is on this album, im not getting my hopes up.

also, who names their kid bronx mowgli wentz? thats like one of those african tribal names.

OH YEAH FALL OUT BOY WOOT

This new album > their other albums.

I don't understand why lots of people like TTTYG so much compared to their other stuff.

Pete wentz loves cream in his coffee...from his grandpa's flesh arrow.
I should know... because I'm pete wentz's daddy.

Why does UG insist on putting up Fallout Boy articles when they know the mass majority of users hate them.
And when people flame, as they will, the mods try to keep everyone from knocking the band. It's irritang and hypocritical on UG's behalf, and it's turning this site into something akin to those trashy gossip mags.

Honestly, to me, its not about being metal, cause being metal is just something that suddenly became the in-thing since Dethklok spoke of such an expression on Metalocalypse. The reason I can't stand fall out boy, or any other "emo" band is simply because they say they have punk roots ... that is not true. Anyone with a true understanding of punk music grasps the concept that it's not about making radio friendly unit shifters, or poppy love songs, or even emotional songs in the form of pop. It's about going against the mainstream mentality that music has to have a formula and that it has to be on MTV to be "good music". Thats why I hate emo bands and that's why i hate fall out boy. that is my humble opinion and I stand by it till I die.

[RentACar]

Take This to Your Grave and From Under the Cork Tree were good. Even Infinity On High had a few good ones. But the new album is weak. This is a case of trying to "elaborate" musically,but instead coming out with empty songs with more complex arrangements. Bands need to start realizing that it's possible to take four power chords and make a master piece out of them.

First of all, Fall Out Boy has punk roots. They also aren't emo. They were a staple of the Chicago scene. All band members were in local hardcore bands. The band did their share of shitty legion shows. They did their summer tour vans. Although it's a shame how they turned out now, you can't deny these guys started off with punk roots.

Because they're not shit and have written some of the best singing melodies I've ever heard.

Okay, the lyrics are mostly crap (seeing as I hate poetry, I don't care), the guitar riffs are too simplistic (but it's a pop-rock band, what can you expect) and the vocal tone is too mainstream for some people (imo a shitty reason not to like them).

But whatever, the awesome vocal melodies make up for it (in any song, the vocal melodies are ALWAYS the most important). If you are serious about writing music, you will study their vocal melodies and ask yourself why they're so awesome and why so many people have them stuck in their heads.

Now, all the haters, gtfo and go back to your *core crap

For that comment, you should not be allowed to post anymore.

I hate FOB because they are in EVERY since a portrayal of what we've come to hate as far as TODAY's music world: overhyped, overplayed, all about the spotlight, barely musicians, and going with the trend because it's what everyone wants them to do.

not to mention what everyone else on here has so expertly put it: They SUCK.

i think they post FOB news just to watch everyone go nuts over it.
its just funny now

HERES why alot of people dislike the band and like metal

THIS IS A GUITAR WEBSITE!!!!

falloutboy doesnt even need tabs, just powerchords you can figure yourself, we dislike their lack of, not necesarily songwriting talents, but rather instrumental talent

[seanlovesguitar]

i bet people would hate fall out boy if their bassist left... in other words... they do not appreciate better talent

[masterohumans]

So, lots of bands do that.

Checked.

Wow Debbie Harry? Impressive.

Also, Band Flaming results in a warning, so keep 'em clean.

[MS_Mosher]

Meh... I'm not the biggest fan. My girlfriend loves the f*** out of them, though. Congrats for Pete, though.

He used to be in a hardcore band with the old guitarist from Rise Against(Mr. Precision, I think). They sounded pretty agressive.

[tonedeafidiot]

OK, I had stood up for FOB for a long time, but LIL' WANYE!?! WTF?!?

[SOADriff]

so like...why is that one dude pete wentz like...the main focus...it's not like he's good at bass. everything i've heard by them he follows the guitar note for note. this band wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for that wentz faggot.

+1

[B.do]

why do people not like the band because of wentz ? the bass melodydosnt ruin the songs, you can barely hear it if ever. the hype that a band gets shouldnt affect you liking it or not : if you stop listening to them or dont like them because everybody loves them , its the exact same thing than listening to them because others like them, you shouldnt change your opinion because of fads (could not find a better word than fad)but seriously fallout boy have a few decent songs.

ps : if somebody replaces fads by "fags" saying fixed.....

[harpcicle]

its not the music he plays, its the attention seeking attitude he abuses around the media. wentz's kid probably wouldnt have gotten such a shit name if his dad and mum werent famous

[ZakkRox90]

awesome cant wait to check it out
great band

[shooshi123]

i think the new album is awesome, sure its different but its better than infinity on high by a long shot.

About that....

They kinda did their own thing and it just stuck. Not because anybody wanted them to. Look for their interviews they deny having anybody tell them to change their music, they went there of their own accord.

It's okay to not like music, but don't accuse bands of being trend followers when they just got swept up in it and MTV overplays them, The Beatles were on TV all the time and they were the most hyped band in history.

BTW Patrick (the singer) is a really good writer. I bet you haven't heard a single FOB song that isn't a single.

And the everybody else comment... well, hate to break it to you... but that means you're also going with the trend because it's what everyone does. Where have I heard a line similar to that hmm?

Lastly, for your ignorance, I just wanna say **** you.

Punk's about doing what you want. They want to write catchy tunes, that's cool.

Emo is just a word without a meaning, hyped by the music industry, a lot like grunge.

It's cool if you don't like 'em because you don't like how it sounds, but when it's because of what their 'roots' are, you're one very narrow-minded individual.

[sashki]

I'm listening now. The first song is pretty good.

[musefanatic]

I really like the new album. I wasn't sure the first time I heard it, but it grew on me.

For that comment, you should not be allowed to post anymore.

I hate FOB because they are in EVERY since a portrayal of what we've come to hate as far as TODAY's music world: overhyped, overplayed, all about the spotlight, barely musicians, and going with the trend because it's what everyone wants them to do.

not to mention what everyone else on here has so expertly put it: They SUCK.
About that....

They kinda did their own thing and it just stuck. Not because anybody wanted them to. Look for their interviews they deny having anybody tell them to change their music, they went there of their own accord.

It's okay to not like music, but don't accuse bands of being trend followers when they just got swept up in it and MTV overplays them, The Beatles were on TV all the time and they were the most hyped band in history.

BTW Patrick (the singer) is a really good writer. I bet you haven't heard a single FOB song that isn't a single.

And the everybody else comment... well, hate to break it to you... but that means you're also going with the trend because it's what everyone does. Where have I heard a line similar to that hmm?

Lastly, for your ignorance, I just wanna say **** you.

i thought pete wentz wrote the lyrics.

[manutd4lyf]

In other news, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz and singer Ashlee Simpson just gave birth their first child together, whom they’ve named Bronx Mowgli Wentz.

Child abusers

[whitestrat279]

For all the people who say"fob would be better without pete" without pete, there is no fob.

Im pretty sure he's the lyricist of the band. Plus he is the posterboy of the band, but I bet you already knew that.

[str84ever]

Probably one of the only comments actually on topic.

Yeah this album just sounds like everything else they have released.

[josilyn]

they should have stopped after fuct.

[G0dzilla]

They just keep getting worse with each album. TTTYG and FUTCT were really good, IOH had it's moments and this one there's a couple good songs but it's not very good >_

[darrenjables]

You know what I don't get. Artist are always complaining about not getting enough money or people illegally downloading their songs, but still people like GN'R, Prince (released his in a UK news paper, not sure about other countries but) and now FOB release it online for free. Some artist need to wise up to themselves.

[new_age_reject]

Whilst I utterly despise this band I think the whole streaming thing is a good idea.
However it is nothing new and doesn't prevent pirating.

[new_age_reject]

Also, Bronx Mowgli Wentz is a hideous name, the child will get a lot of stick from having a name like that.

[Dead Ringer]

they're all good musicians, except for pete wentz, and even their music's good for what it is, but there is FAR too much hype around them

I want to say **** you too, due to:

1. I have their whole debut album Under The Cork Tree, to try them out...I picked up on them to SEE how they were, like I did with all bands. So ignornace? No. but you...

The BAND interviews and they deny it, the band says this, the band says that.....Yeah, well, they also said that Anna Nicole married out of love, that America wasn't involved with 9/11, and that justice is blind and unbiased.

Don't believe EVERYTHING you hear...just because Pete Wentz says it doesn't mean it's true...Remember, he DID name his kid after a Jungle Book character. Pretty sure that makes him credible...wait, wut?

Oh, and just because I said everyone else says it doesn't mean I agree/disagree with everything they say. Lrn 2 detail, you majoritarianist.

[Chafmere]

I got the album yesterday. It's not as bad as Infintiy on high but jesus christ why are they doing all these slow songs all of a sudden? I mean every great band has a ballad or two but I don't need 13. Anyway. I am a mega obsessed fan. I'm not a 13 year-old teenage girl who hates her parents for no reason. Hmph, who would have thought that possible?

I have a problem with those fans anyway. I was at a concert and this one chick starts telling me how good they were coming out of their first album. I almost shot her right there. lol. But seriously are there any "Fall Out Boy's evening out with your girlfriend" fans. I liked that album quite a bit.

[l)ragonForce]

FOB There fine and all i used to be a fan and respect them im just pissed that they have lil wayne in a song he's the worst rapper out there who for some reason is the most popular and just writes hit's not songs, w/e this is just my opinion

[Kear Bear]

Hey guy's listen to 27! A SOLO!!! lol, but seriously they aren't that bad. i love their old stuff too, but it's not like it got up and walked away. YOU CAN STILL LISTEN TO IT!!! and if you need something new, i have it in my right mind that most of the responders are MUSICIANS!!! DO IT YOURSELF AND MAKE YOUR OWN!!!! i honestly think that their song I Don't Care still keeps their punk attitude so their influence isn't ENTIRELY poppy.

[pyritmann]

they shouldnt be on this site anymore... They just OFFICIAL took the punk out of pop/punk... They can no longer be Classified as anything related to rock... They are POP... Next album will be a total hip hop album guarenteed... seriously i just listened to album (give me kudos for giving it a chance?) but it sucked miserably... save your ears and dont follow the link.

I really dont understand how people who love the band in said article are allowed to post, but those who disagree are supposed to read the article and sit in the corner.

I'm gonna blame UG for placing this up. In my opinion, they are building a fire, drenching it in gasoline, and then handing a lit match to the flamers...THEN they say..."Dont start the fire!"

I could never get into the band, nor does that mean I'm into metal! FOB just isnt my style. Oh wait....I shouldnt say that...

I am not the biggest fan of Fob, but i dont mind listening to them, ill have a listen to the new albim at some point. but, i read a comment earlier saying without wentz there is no Fob, does this mean they only like Fob because of wentz, and not the musical talent they have?

You don't need technicality to make great sounding music, they've sold millions of records, and you've sold none. They have millions of fans, and you're just a nobody. So stop slagging off Fall Out Boy if you don't like their music, no one cares about your bad opinion of them.

He's a receiver, but he's having sex with a woman who is now bearing his child. That makes sense.

Anyways, checked.

Or should I say has already had his child.

And according to what I've read (which isn't much, since I am not a fan of Fall Out Boy), Pete has only kissed other men, and has had not engaged in sexual intercourse with any.

[inferi596]

it's a weird album, i'll say that. not necessarily bad, just...strange. probably not my favorite though. i just ignore all the hype and their egoes and the music's really not that bad. i like all the other albums about equally because they each have something different to offer.

[the_bear_shark]

I don't like Fall Out Boy, but I suppose this is a kind way to give fans the option of seeing whether or not they like the music beforehand to help them decided whether or not they will choose to purchase the album.

[GrandeAcure]

Why do mods give FoB this kind of protection when bands like GnR (or Axl only) are bashed as much?

[Mexican]

All you SOBs who keep bitching about how FOB sucks need to just STFU. They have enough balls to try new things, and stop producing the same old stuff with new lyrics like a lot of people.

pop music is popular amoung the younger generation. just take a look at Paramore, Hey Monday, We The Kings, Metro Station. they're all popular that age group. how can you blame someone for something that's a positive step for his band. I don't think Pete meant to be the front mand of the band. Girls find him attractive, and i'm sure all the gay photographers, and wardrobe people think so too. if you want your music and merch sales to prosper, you have to promote, and give what the people want. it's not all about the musicians in the band. without fans, a band is just a group of people, but with them, they're everything.

musicians are allowed to have whatever kind of influence suits them. take lil wayne for example. he adores Kid Rock. he's his idol, and he even got to perform with him. he does a song with FOB and everyone flips a bitch.

just chill out, accept people for their differences, and like it or don't. there's no need to hate on people. damn you're all stupid...

[Its_Rock77]

new album's okay in my eyes. all of the albums have been "okay." FUCT was the best IMO, and TTTYG was a close 2nd. first album was a bit too "unproduced" and the rest were way overproduced. the new pop sound is good for a couple listens but it definitely won't stick like the old songs.

Anyone with a true understanding of punk music grasps the concept that it's not about making radio friendly unit shifters, or poppy love songs, or even emotional songs in the form of pop. It's about going against the mainstream mentality that music has to have a formula and that it has to be on MTV to be "good music". Thats why I hate emo bands and that's why i hate fall out boy. that is my humble opinion and I stand by it till I die.

isn't punk more about not giving a shit about what other people think and playing what you want? and if that just so happens to be what people like.... good for you

I'm not saying they're punk (they're definately not), but fitting punk into some cookie cutter "don't be mainstream to be different" isn't being any different when everyone's doing it.

That being said, my friend made me listen to one of the new FoB songs, and like I predicted, it was just terrible. Yet, it will sell millions and they will get more money while legit musicians still struggle.

Ok, well I have listened to Fall Out Boy, and its just watered down, generic pop-punk. One thing I really don't get is why is Pete Wentz the most famous one? You can't even hear his bass (except on the beginning of songs like Dance, Dance) but that is so generic its horrid! He only plays one string and mutes the top three! His bass has a freaking bat with a heart on it! WHAT THE HELL???
