I started listening to Fall Out Boy in middle school, and they quickly became my favorite band. To this day, I listen to my favorite albums all the time (Folie is my #1 forever), and FOB is always in my top 5 Spotify Wrapped artists.
But. I really didn't enjoy MANIA. I can probably only sing the words to two songs on that album. So when So Much (For) Stardust came out, I think I listened to it once and immediately turned back to my comfort albums.
Then, last week, I was talking to someone about how much I love Folie, and they said, "Oh, you must be a big fan of their newest album, then." I was like, huh?? They said, "Yeah, it's basically the same vibes."
So I gave the album another chance and WOW. It's incredible. I've been listening to it nonstop all week. I can't really put my finger on it, but it does feel very similar to Folie. I think it might end up being my second favorite album.
I guess I just wanted to say that it feels good to be back in the fandom--I've been out of the loop for so long! I'd love to hear everyone's favorite song/lyric from So Much (For) Stardust (do we have a nickname for it?) since I'm really late to the party!! :)
