I think the problem is that a lot of FOB fans are more invested in the people than the music. Because it's FOB they love it; if another band did it, they'd be slagging them off no end.

Too much of it sounds like Panic, to me. It sounds like they've had these huge ideas and missed the mark. Someone once described the Manics as looking like they were trying to be The Clash in a school play, and that's how I feel about this album - it's aimed for something and not quite hit the mark. It's a bit, "Well, at least you tried, bless."

I categorically loathe What a Catch, Donnie. It sounds like Panic at the Disco wrote a musical and cast all of their friends in the finale. That song is the weakest point on the album.

So far, I only actively like 27 and Cooperstown. And that doesn't mean love, either. She's My Winona is alright. But all the best parts of a poor album are in the first half.

On FCF everyone is squeeing and telling Andy how amazing it is. And he's saying it's the one he's most proud of. But Pete said the same thing about IOH, and now he hates it.

I think this is one of the albums they'll look back on and grimace.
