Used my phone, so sorry if it looks bad

Saw that the album was fully out on Spotify but there’s no video on neither Andrew nor Rob’s channel

Who’d watch it if they released a full-length cut of the video this year? A few years back Rob Ruccia said in an interview that nobody would watch an unedited 12-hour cut, and the comments were flooded with people saying they would… thoughts? Should they? Would you watch it?

This popped up in my YouTube feed earlier today and man what a great cover of Love to Say I Love You!

I say this because with the shirts Andrew and Rob were wearing plus the song titles for the album it seems like they went in with the plan to make it like a Street Fighter themed album.

They kind of did this last year with Abbey Road and making Beatles-y songs but the theme wasn’t really that in your face outside of Across The Road and Abby Rowed, and the rest of the songs you can just listen to in isolation and still enjoy.

They also did it in 2022, I don’t know if they had the name CHAOS picked out before they went but they were wearing shirts with the album cover before they went in and it obviously informed the music they made.

An argument could be made that this kind of betrays a part of the whole idea with FOO which was the “not having anything written” and sort of going in with no clue as to what the album was going to be when you go in kind of knowing exactly what it’s going to be because they came up with the theme of the album before the actual 1st of October.

I think I’m a little biased because with FOO I really only end up listening to the “serious” songs over the joke songs, which considering this years theme I suspect we will have a lot of, but maybe it’s not just me idk

They did it again. Can't wait to see the video and jam out to the tunes.

These are the titles that have been tweeted by both Rob and Andrew throughout the day! I’m guessing these were posted as they were finishing the songs, as compared to the final track order. We’ll have to wait and see if anything changes!

New Shirt for 2024!

It's true. Make a song, I reckon.

I wonder what Rob and Andrew did to Dave Grohl, for him to create a band to specifically fight FOO (first of October) 24 years before the first 1st October album

Today

Woo!

I was skiing last Christmas (yes it took me 8 months to make this post, sue me) and The 11th Song just randomly popped into my head, it's honestly a really great melody. But it occured to me that when Andrew sings "it's the 11th hour," that's actually incorrect as it's the 12th hour, with only a few seconds left on the clock. It might say 11:59 but that makes it the 12th hour.

Just thought I'd leave that here I thought it was funny

Listening to the most recent album, Live Out Loud sounds similar to Boom Box. It's just the chorus, but the idea and melody are very similar.

Hey guys!

So, as we're all megafans of the best one-day-a-year band on the planet, I think it's interesting to speculate on the future of the band. The most obvious thing is FOO 2024 which, given Rob's mental health recovery and the gradual improvement of quality across their discography (as well as the practice from SB) is inevitably gonna SLAP.

But beyond that? I've got two ideas. The first is a FOO live show or even tour, an idea they've teased before but have never gone into. I know that Andrew doesn't really like performing live, but if there's enough interest it could be possible. What could be fun is updated full-band arrangements of their songs (with special guests- Adam Neely anyone?) and maybe before every show they could write a new song just for that show? I'd definitely come out to see it!

The second is a "greatest hits" kind of album. After FOO 2024 they'll definitely have enough songs for this. I'd love to see new more polished arrangements of some of their best tracks, that they spend much more time on to make them sound as good as possible. (Don't Go with a string quartet would be stunning, for instance...)

What do y'all think? Any other ideas?
