I like FOB, but for crying out loud they've only been around a few years. Any greatest hit is going to be "oh look, here's all our singles."

[Admiral Petty]

I have to agree, my dislike of Fall Out Boy aside, it seems to be way to early in their career for a greatest hits album. The Foo Fighters waited until they had six studio albums under their belt, as well as a great deal more hits than Fall Out Boy has. It's annoying when there are tons of greatest hits albums floating around for any given band, and that's the path Fall Out Boy is on by releasing a greatest hits album so soon.

[aocrkid]

they haven't been around long enough. how many of these hits are on the same album?

Whereas Fall Out Boy have released a measly...5?

Come off it.

Checked.

[shreducator]

These guys haven't even been around for 10 years, and they're putting out a greatist hits!? WTF

[FoxBox]

Why do they always have to show Pete...

[sykryk]

Ugh... Greatest hits?

Surely, when an artist puts out a greatest hits album, it needs to be full of songs that were released, and received with critical acclaim - hence GREATEST HITS. I'm no FOB fan, and I can name only 2 of their tracks - "Dance, Dance" and "This aint a scene..."

Almost as redundant as Korn's Greatest Hits.

Still, times are hard, need to make those extra millions...

[Nothingface]

I hate the term "Greatest Hits" should be the "Best Of" anyway these guys havent earnt this yet IMO.

[redhotsexmagic]

I like these guys but yea def not around long enough for this. only thing i could see reasoning it is maybe they had a 5 album contract with their label and this is their way of getting out of it to then release a new record with a new label? otherwise i don't see why they should be releasing this

[wesselbindt]

What? These guys have been around for around 4 years or so... It's way too early for a "greatest hits" record. Then again, I wouldn't ever want them to release something like that.

[Nirvanarien]

What happend to a band being like 25 years old before even considereing to release a Greatest Hits album?

It seems like a populair thing to bring out ''Greatest Hits'' albums....

But like somebody already said, With all the downloaden and the economy of today people need the money

[Andy2k64]

Lots os bands release mid-career greatest hits albums. there's no harm in it. its a good bunch of tracks. lol who dictates how long you have to be performing for to release a greatest hits album?

[bi-ah!]

im pretty sure there first cd came out just like a few years ago...theres no need for a greatest hits cd...they dont even have any greatest hits...they have a few pop hits...big deal, so does everyone else and their dog

Ummm... I think that their first album was released in 2002? They have been around for a while.
And I think it's sort of amusing that people are simultaneously bashing Fall Out Boy for not having enough hits to constitute a greatest hits package, yet are also way too commercial. They've had a fair number of hits. Give them a break.

Though I do agree, it's a little early to be putting out a greatest hits.

[mallen i am]

i don't see why everyone's moaning...they've had quite a few hits, they've released quite a few albums.

my only negative point would be that Folie A Deux or whatever was only released quite recently.
unless theres gonna be like a 5 year wait for another album i cant help but see a teency bit of money grabbing-ness here.
but meh, who am i to complain. i'd probably do the same thing if i'd reached the success they have.

[rocknrolldude43]

I actually do like FOB but they should've held off a another few years before putting this out.

Chances are good they'll get hated even more for this than they ever were before. (Damn elitists.) I'm not saying all their haters are bad, just the ones who say "these guys are ****ing emos and need to ****ing die" are the ones who make themselves. I can respect opinions when it comes to music and all, but do any of you realize how ****ing stupid you look when you wish death on FOB (or any band you hate, for that matter)? For example, I can't stand the Jonas Brothers but you don't you see me wishing death on them, now do you? No, I didn't think so. Grow up.

So if you're here to rip on FOB, at least be constructive about it and don't call them "fags" and other shit like that. (I'm certainly no moderator, if you don't heed my advice, chances are good one of the real mods could have you banned.) So play nice.

[jplay5]

its too early, i have heard of a third of these songs.

[rocknrolldude43]

*make themselves look foolish*

typo, my bad

[lord_abyssium]

the title made me lol

[smackjack29]

It seems odd that any band from the 2000's would have a greatest hits CD. They didn't even get a label until a few years into the 2000's too. Bands like the White Stripes, The Hives, Rise Against, The Strokes, and Muse all have about the same amount of albums and no greatest hits because they constantly produce new music. I'd give it at least another three albums or so before taking a break and releasing a greatest hits CD.

[NoInnerKind]

How many albums do they have? How many years have they been out? Get a career that spands atleast a decade, then release a greatest hits. They're just throwing all their singles and some bonus tracks on it. Big whoop.

[l)ragonForce]

their record label probably did it to make money not them, btw i dont like FOB

[AdemaOnYourHead]

Milking the cash cow. Interest in Fall Out Boy has been waning as of late, and as far as I've heard, most people didn't like their new CD all that much, so this is just an attempt to say, "Hey kids? Remember all those classic Fall Out Boy songs you bought? Buy them again! But TOGETHER! Fun times for all!"

I agree.

[DeathCube]

This is stupid, their first album was released in 03, along with the second one, and they want a "Greatest Hits" !? They should call it "Songs that a bunch of girls and emo scene boys liked". Also they butchered Beat It, horrible cover.

[Co&Ca11]

People should stop bitching about this band, their first two albums are actually pretty solid in my opinion, though the new stuff is impossible to listen to. Still, it's far too early in their career for this.

[The-Red-Sky]

What hits?

[mike_biro727]

I miss when Fall Out Boy made music, I quit listenung to them after Infinity On High came out. That album was crap,but i did like the first two.

Dude, you whine too much, and are obviously oversensitive, which is why people rip on this band, to make people like you upset. If you can't stand it, just ignore it really.

Not only is it too early to put out a Greatest Hits, but their hits are certainly not great. Production is terrible, the song layout and style also hanus...and I'm not even going into that cover of Beat It, which wholly defines what FOB is truly capable of...not much.

The only hits they've had was due to a commercial success thanks to angsty teens who want to make a statement, and make it less about the music.

This is my opinion. If you don't like it, tough crap. At least I'm not conceptualizing murderous hate thoughts, I just really think they poorly define music.

Deal with it.

So I'm a whiner for expressing my opinion? Obviously you failed to see the part where I said I was fully 100% respectable of opinions when it comes to music. If someone hates FOB, I'm perfectly OK with that, it's just the elitist haters who harbor murderous thoughts and call them fags are the ones I have a problem with (I don't rip on said haters individually, I just let them do their thing, unless they rip on me first.)

But hey, at least YOU don't harbor murderous thoughts about them, I'll give you that. Always nice to see a FOB hater who is actually constructive in their criticism.

[24Hammett24]

Why is this news? I think the majority of people that go on this site dislike Fall Out Boy.

[i_am_metalhead]

FoB have not been around long enough to have a "Greatest Hits" album. They could have released a thousand albums over the past 6 years or so and that still wouldn't constitute a "Greatest Hits" album.

"Greatest Hits" are suppose to be a collection of the best songs from a LENGTHY career (i.e. 15 or 20 years or more). Its not that they don't have enough good material or they aren't a good band, they just haven't been in the game long enough to release one of these yet imo.

[AEnima18]

This is why I'm glad there's no Metallica Greatest Hits... (yet)

[Cosmia]

No one besides the media is calling this a greatest hits album. The band themselves aren't even doing that, at most they think it's a best of collection of singles.

Everyone needs to shut the **** up.

[thedude97]

Whereas Fall Out Boy have released a measly...5?

Come off it.

Checked.

Not only were their first two albums released less than half a year apart, and not only is there only one song from the first album on this cd, but nobody but the most hardcore fans give a sh!t about their first TWO albums. They've really only practically been around four years. One album that actually mattered. And now the Foo Fighters are releasing a greatest hits album after releasing six ALL SOLID albums over FIFTEEN YEARS. Fall Out Boy are not a band. They are a corporation.

[loganpwns]

Fall Out Boy have had enough hits to release a greatest hits? My god, what has the music business turned into?

Wait, i just answered my own question, it has indeed become, just another business.

[Amito]

hopefully this is a sign of the end of emo

[TheLifeguard]

Too soon for this.

[Metallichemical]

Just like mostly everybody else said, I thing it's too early for a greatest hits collection right now since their first album came out in 2002 or 2003 and they only have a total of four albums released.Also, just a few of the singles became really big hits.I think it would have been better if they released two or three more albums before a greatest hits.

On a side note, even though I don't care for Fall Out Boy and never really listen to them, their first couple of albums had some fairly good songs.

[Hamish15]

wouldn't their greatest hits jus be a blank CD?
on topic: its way too early to put out a greatest hits. they only really have one fanbase & their all 12-14 year old girls who jus scream "I LOVE YOU PETE!!" even when he's on the other side of the world!!

[Sid McCall]

I know nobody is gonna read this, but usually a greatest hits CD means the band is releasing it just to fulfill their contract with their label, to get out of it asap.

[rocker222]

lmao lmao lmao what!!!!! my mouth dropped and i was stupefied while reading this article. the only thing thought while reading this is, "satin is realy alive, this cant be happining!!!!!"

No, hardcore fans care about their second one, but whatever.

[chronman23]

you have got to be kidding! Music is going down hill because of bands like this

[Msu_Man04]

Just to shut up the ridiculous people who make outrageous claims (some of you FoB haters aren't idiots)

I am a 16, almost 17 year old, straight male. I am not emo, I am not scene, I am totally normal and in the middle. Fall Out Boy is one of my favorite bands. All of their albums. Pete Wentz writes amazing lyrics [which makes up for his totally "meh" bass], they are amazing live, and they are not afraid to do new things with their music. And usually they do it well. Infinity on High and Folie a Deux show that.

Their fan base is much larger than a dozen emo girls.

Fall Out Boy does make music. People with grills don't make music.

I'm not angry, so you're not getting a rise out of me, either. I'm just proving why you're idiots.

READ: Not ALL FoB haters. Just the idiot ones.

Now... Yeah, it's a little early for a Greatest Hits, but let the record company milk it and diss them, not FoB.

The 18-track album, "Believers Never Die", will include two rarities and two new songs, including next single "Alpha Dog", as well as their cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It".

"Beat It" already was released as a single .. abput two years ago

Great post!

[RukiaTH]

I consider myself a Fall Out Boy fan but yet I agree with those saying that the amount of "hits" they've had don't really warrant a Greatest Hits album yet. I kind of think that band needs to have "non-fans" be able to list an albums worth of songs before being able to release something like this. Most people can only name 2-3 FoB songs, even with the heavy amount of singles that they've had.

[tommyg_99]

Msu_Man04 wrote:

I guess on other sites this would be relevant, but not on a guitar site. We're comparing Fall Out Boy to other bands that make similar, if not the same style of 'music'; definitely not rap or R&B.

And for one, I really don't care if they release a Greatest Hits. I mean really, does it actually affect anyone in here besides the fans who are one cd away from keeping their collection intact?

No. I don't like them at all, but there are people in here complaining about how it makes them 'just hate them all the more' and whatever. Grow up and stop acting like morons. It's a Greatest Hits cd, Jesus.

[Cornpuff]

Their first big hit "Sugar We're Going Down" came out back in 2005...someone tell the label folk that "hits" is not synonmous with "singles".

Anyone else think this is just coming out for the sake of new FOB material for the holidays?

[JayLacelle]

they are going down and they just want one last money grab from the hard-core fans. believe me, give it five years and they will be completely forgoten

[kamjam7]

ok. great for the first 11 songs.

[murdoc66]

Sillyness!

[jestsumguy]

No carpal tunnel of love?! This album fails! Still buying it though.

[mitchrosko]

They should just re-release take this to your grave instead..

[.:!j.man!:.]

Any greatist hits should come out after a band have disenbandoned.
Thats my view anyway.

[Jacksabbath_44]

This is so stupid and pretentious... they really think they're that important? they're still a new band... a compilation is cool, and they're truly a hitmaker band, but... Greatest Hits?... is stupid as hell, and very i can only forgive this if they split up... FOREVER

[klynch]

what a oxymoron, fall out boy greatest hits. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[Lagunaguitar]

i dont think its that bad. i like some FOB songs, but i dont own any songs or an album. i might buy. i dont like buying singles very much, so i would rather buy this instead of 2 or 3 regular albums. but thats just me

[Buraac]

I tried so hard to hate this band... and just couldn't. Can't help but like the music, but I agree this is too early.

[falloutevan]

of course it's too early. however, it's because they're going on an indefinate hatius (spelling?) it's to hold the fans over. the new ones, and the die hards. it's basically the greatest hits with the fans, not the full mainstream radio listeners. not like they're a ridiclous international sensation or anything.

[guitarbutt1]

WHY ARE THEY PUTTING OUT A BLANK CD????

[falloutevan]

doesn't this lack of talent band only have like 2-3 albums? these guys suck, they know it, and they need one more cash grab. what a bunch of ****s!

they've got 5, 6 if you count their split ep with project rocket back in..2001..i think that was the year. so what if they just want more money? the fans want it, we enjoy their music, and want more to add to our collections..as stupid as that sounds.

[fiftysteps]

The FOB greatest hits, featuring 18 songs, in other words, 1/3 of their songs. Greatest hits is a lazy excuse for a band to take a year off. You pull off a greatest hits album after 6 or more, not 3. Pink, Britney Spears, have already after only 2 or 3. watch Justin Timberlake and Panic at the disco will all drop one once they drop their third efforts too.

[ShadesOfNight]

Oh dear...such a bad grammar error TS...
Fall Out Boy...Greatest Hits...is a blatent oxymoron

What's this "Fall Out Boy" you're all going on about???

[pwninator123]

They are old enough, Steve Miller had a greatest hits that spanned 4 years, and he was just as poppy

They are not Emo, Emo is a subgenre of Hardcore Punk from the 80s

They are angsty, yes, but most genres are, Grunge, Nu-Metal, Hardcore, even Blues could be considered angsty

Just be nice, they've worked hard, and people like them, that's more than you guys can say

[pwninator123]

And they've been around for 8 years, I'd say that's a pretty good amount of time.

Yeah, i hate trying to educate people on Emotive Hardcore it just seems that no one listens so when its times like these the only way i can get my point across is by using the modern "fasion trend" term of emo.

but yeah, its nice to see someone who is educated about music

[NCHEoin]

all the hating and "they haven't been around long enough" aside this is actually pretty intresting to listen to them. Hearing them go from heavy teenage angst pop-punk to a very calm rock

I ****ing hate this band. That aside, this should be awesome for the Fall Out Boy fans. Good for them.

Could've been a way better track listing... sucks they're going on hiatus... and it should've had a studio version of their of cover of "Don't Stop Believing"... I guess this is proof the trend is dying...

Speaking completely objectively, this band does not deserve a greatest hits album when they haven't even been around a whole decade. Brittney Spears is more deserving of one ffs.

There is gonna be a long wait for another album. They are now on an infinate hiatus. So it will probably be a while before we hear from them again. Im just excited about the dvd with every one of their music videos. I got all the cd's, but the music videos are what i'm getting this for.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was the case, Atreyu released their "Best Of..." in 2007 after only having released 3 albums and you're all bashing Fall Out Boy for releasing a Greatest Hits after 5... They've achieved commercial sucess and even if they are only doing it to get out of a contract or whatever I think that Greatest Hits and Best Of... album's are a great way for potential new fans to get a good idea of what the band sounds like before choosing which album to go out and buy.

[Its_Rock77]

ummm, they've released five albums as well as plenty of other songs here and there and everywhere. I think they are justified in selling a greatest hits.

however, all I really wanted to say was that I think it's awesome that they're closing it with Growing Up.

[conroy91]

Oh finally i can buy the greatest hits, get all the singles and not have to worry about the rest of their albums and songs.
No offense, their singles have a good hook, i like them but most the other tracks are duds : \

And they've been around for 8 years, I'd say that's a pretty good amount of time.

pfft, foo fighters waited 15 years, chili peppers waited like 20 years, metallica have never released a greatest hits. 8 years is not a good amount of time, its not really even an accurate amount of time given they only become a commercial success like 4 years ago. commercially its good move for them, it will no doubt gain them more fans and more money, but it certainly is too soon for it to have any real credibility

almost all greatest hits ever have been exactly that.
plus their SECOND album came out in 2002, so the first one obviously didn't come out in 2003.

Greatest Hits? maybe it's the "we're out of ideas" cd.
or the "one hit wonder years" cd. C'mon people!

i'm pretty sure one hit wonders don't have 14 hits. all the singles from grand theft autumn onwards were big hits, just becuz you don't like FOB doesn't mean they weren't hits

Fag Out Boy : Greatest Hits

[Feel bad inc.]

Seems like alot of bands do this after 3-4 albums, just seems kinda like wanting money from all of them

[Tom Martin]

Personally I think it's a great idea for bands to do this nowadays.
Fewer and fewer people are buying albums these days and are just downloading the singles from iTunes. So it figures if you get all the bands singles and compile them together - regardless of how long the band have been going - you get an album that is much more attractive for your casual downloading listeners.

[SOADriff]

Seriously, what is this? Don't you acutally have to be a great and much loved band with a decent catalogue to release a greatest hits?

[kfong03]

hmmmmm "fallout boy" and "greatest hits" don't really go together in my book...

[Tomamo5]

agrees completely with SOADriff.

[Bimal]

lol what a crack

Just to shut up the ridiculous people who make outrageous claims (some of you FoB haters aren't idiots)

I am a 16, almost 17 year old, straight male. I am not emo, I am not scene, I am totally normal and in the middle. Fall Out Boy is one of my favorite bands. All of their albums. Pete Wentz writes amazing lyrics [which makes up for his totally "meh" bass], they are amazing live, and they are not afraid to do new things with their music. And usually they do it well. Infinity on High and Folie a Deux show that.

Their fan base is much larger than a dozen emo girls.

Fall Out Boy does make music. People with grills don't make music.

I'm not angry, so you're not getting a rise out of me, either. I'm just proving why you're idiots.

READ: Not ALL FoB haters. Just the idiot ones.

Now... Yeah, it's a little early for a Greatest Hits, but let the record company milk it and diss them, not FoB.

You, my friend, deserve a gold medal for that statement. Bravo.

Checked.

[niejel]

I agree. It could be "The Best Of", not "The Greatest Hits".

[archangelseren]

sell the videos by themself for halfthe price and ile think about it...

[Rhubarm]

Lol metallica have never done greatest hits album and they should
But fall out boy making a greatest hits album? My god

[Admiral Petty]

duncang m
Whereas Fall Out Boy have released a measly...5?

Come off it.

Checked.

Maybe you should come off it, they still haven't had nearly the hits that the Foos have, nor the DVDs and other live output the foos have, don't forget, Grohl is always collaborating on other projects as well. Plus the Foos have been around since the mid 90s. They have definitely earned it, Fall Out Boy hasn't.

[demondown666]

which hit would that be? lol srry cant stand em.

i gotta agree. i'm a huge fan of fall out boy, but i think there are much greater songs by them than their singles.
but 'm really glad to see "Growing Up" on there.
they should have let the ooooold fans, true fall out boy fans picked the list for this.
if they had a choice, you'd be looking at a totally different list.

[Longhairedrockr]

This is possibly the dumbest thing i've ever seen a band do. I mean, they released their first album maybe 6 years ago? This is basically a desperate attempt at making money (on BOTH Fall Out Boy and the record label's part) without them having to go through the process of writing and recording an entire new album. Whats next? Guess they'll try getting the waiting time changed for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame so they can get in...

[henkka_potku]

I have never understood any of the love for this band. They are really generic. And they're releasing a GREATEST HITS? WTF. They got like, 0 decent songs to be exact.

is EMO alive or not?

Wrong. Take This to Your Grave was their 2nd album.

I don't agree with the "Greatest Hits" being singles, but yeah, I agree that it's a marketing scheme.
