FALL OUT BOY / Save Rock and Roll (2013)

"You are what you love, not who loves you."

Fall Out Boy return with a pair of singles that’d make you think they’ve finally figured it out, that they've made their best album.  They may very well have. Even if I eventually decide otherwise, this’ll still stand unparalleled as their most consistent effort.  Patrick has managed to sprinkle Pete’s best nuggets across all of these tracks, even in the face of a couple superfluous guest appearances. More than anything this is a sonically ambitious album that has brought more joy with each passing listen.

Wait, this was an experiment? It’s a smashing success, boys.
