Album of the Week - American Beauty/American Psycho - Fall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy keeps to their promise and continues to make music that is relative to our time and still makes it hard to sit still. It's constantly progressing and keeping up with what is cool. Or maybe anything they make is just cool at any time. They do a wonderful job of using old music samples such as the Munsters theme in Uma Thurman. Their music easily gets itself stuck in your head but the good part is that you're not going to be all that pissed or annoyed about it replaying in your head. While this album isn't exactly rainbows and sunshine, it still has the energy to lift you up out of the dumps. Even on those days where your catch phrase seems to become a sarcastic "smooth" that you say after all twenty times of dropping your phone, and on those days when your friend stops answering your texts but keeps reading them because apparently their phone had been stolen and you've just been texting their robber this week. For particular songs in the album to listen to besides the singles that had been released earlier, I suggest listening to Novocaine, Fourth Of July, and Jet Pack Blues.
