So... I hate it. In all sincerity, I really, really hate it. I hate it more than I hated Golden, and that's saying something.

Elvis Costello sounds EXACTLY like Patrick would sing if he was staggering home after the pub and about eight pints. He sounded so much like Patrick that when Julie heard it this morning she actually thought it WAS Patrick, singing badly.

It's just... tacky. And way overblown. And I honestly think that if people didn't know it was about Patrick, a huge number of them would be much less stoked on it than they're claiming to be.

I'm sure that under all that over-production there are some lovely lyrics, but the lyrics are not the only thing the makes a song, and I physically cringe when I listen to it. It's just... it sounds like something from a really cheesy musical, where all the male cast is singing about the main guy.

America's Suitehearts is the last chance for them to convince me. I think they've at least gotten Lil Wayne out of the way somewhere in the medley on Catch, but if they've fucked with the production on Suitehearts as well, that is truly it for me and this album. I love the guys, still, and I'll continue to go to shows and follow their career in the hope that something awesome will return to their music, but this album will not make it to my shelves.

What a disappointment.

I am not really into DOB and don't know squat about their music but I have this post on my Flist and the one directly after it from somebody else who is saying it is so amazing and it's what is bringing her into FOB Fandom. Wtf. I think I have to go listen, now...

It's certainly different from most of what they've produced. I'm not a big fan of collaborations, unless they are done rather good (Linkin Park with that rapper dude was sort of okay imo).

I'd have liked it better if it was just Patrick, since the Elvis Costello dude indeed sounds a lot like him, but then a bit, or maybe a big bit, worse.

What the hell did I just listen to?

*is confused*

The worst thing they've ever made.

I only listened to it once, and I was WTF-ing the whole time. I can't get over all gushing about it on my flist. I'll have to listen to it a few more times, but wow, it's pretty bad.

I find it disturbing for myself how Fall Out Boy went from being one of my favourite bands to just not reaching the mark. I kinda feel that other bands associated with them have stepped up the bar and Fall Out Boy just cant create the magic anymore. Usually, I would be stoked for everything but after hearing I Don't Care and other songs its like a sucker punch to the gut.... I can't seem to wrap myself around the lyrics or the music....Its like something is missing.....

So disappointed, I turned off their radio interview the other day because I just wasnt interested anymore....

And for me to skip anything Patrick,................. :-(

I feel the same way.

LOL I just got unfriended for posting that I didn't like the song. People take this stuff WAY too seriously. :)

Seriously. I liked the song but hey, that's me. Everyone's different when it comes to music. One person's treasure to the ears is another person's nail on the chalkboard.

This fandom is so made of fail.
