Fall Out Boy, Save Rock and Roll
"Young Volcanoes"
It's really shocking Fall Out Boy put out a good album in 2013. After all, the original Fall Out Boy run was such a product of the mid-00s. And coming back less than 5 years after their hiatus, it seemed like not enough time had passed for people to really care or miss them. Plus, with the album's especially idiotic art, the announcement of really arrogant cameos from Courtney Love and Elton John, and the completely asinine music videos they put out to promote it, it just seemed like the album was doomed from the get-go. And if you focus on any one particular piece of the album it's completely silly — like the Big Sean guest verse. But even though all of those specific things are really embarrassing, the album is really catchy and a lot of fun. In other words, a great Fall Out Boy album. —Ryan Broderick
