Poll: NEW FALL OUT BOY vs. OLD FALL OUT BOY

[SECRETBULLET]

OLD. lyrics and style wise.
NEW. i'ld say the catchy rhythm

[Helpless]

New.
I like the new, mature, musically experimental style of their newer albums, IoH especially.

I went with the old stuff. TTTYG is so awesome and better than anything they have done since then in my opinion. Grand Theft Autum is still one of my favorite pop-punk songs ever.

i agree completely

where is your boy tonight i hope he is a gentleman

[SteffRyanFail]

I like both.
I like the old Fall Out Boy a little more. But only because I wasn't too big of a fan of IOH

[Bruised26]

Old. FAD is better than IOH, but TTTYG and FUCT beat them all.
But I really love new also, FAD is catchy as hell

[liveloud4life]

Um, let's see: old - some of the best pop-punk ever made, new - total sell-out, radio bull-shit. Tough call.

[Machu505]

lolololololol.

Old Fall Out Boy was great.

[11:11]

While TTTYG is my favorite album of theirs, I have no problem with any of their material.

[Machu505]

Why is this a multiple choice poll?

[SingleDoubt]

Why is this a multiple choice poll?

ha, agreed. it should just be a discussion about why TTTYG is lightyears better than anything else theyve done

[lonelysuperstar]

Ttyg>fad>fuct>ioh

[PopPunkKid]

I honestly enjoy both pretty much equally.

If you want pop-punk with sincere, angsty lyrics that you can really get into, then Take This To Your Grave is where it's at. If you want catchy-as-balls pop-rock songs that are unique and with each song having it's own musical diversity, then Folie a Deux is the album.

I fail to see how they drastically changed or "sold out". Everything they've done has seemed like a natural progression, to me.


TTTYG > FAD > IOH > FUCT (imo)

[phil19]

old fall out boy is the only answer

[undonesweater93]

Take This to Your Grave is their best work, no doubt. I like the new stuff too though.

[fadedmemories]

I still love them, but I love old FOB more than anything. Everything they did from EOWYG to FUCT is golden.

[xBrandNew]

take this to your grave is their best cd. they get progressively worse as they go. i wish they'd go back to the tttyg sound.

[xJesusFreakx]

FAD is easily their best album, so I voted for "New," but IOH was mostly boring, and I also enjoy TTTYG.

[Shin Akuma]

progress is always a good thing!

[_><_]

Old.

[Oddpac87]

You people do know they made an album before TTTYG, right? Regardless, anyone who voted new fob, is just...ugh, nevermind.

[notoaststereo]

old

[PopPunkKid]

Evening Out With Your Girlfriend is easily their worst, without a doubt... I don't even really consider it a full album, it's basically just 9 demos, one of which ended up being re-worked and made better for TTTYG anyways. FOB themselves have even said they consider that album to be their worst, if I remember correctly.

[unwritten_law9]

Take This To Your Grave is their best cd.

[Un'Aria Ancora]

progress is always a good thing!

except they got worse.

[AussieBoy]

where does FUCT fit in???

i like grave n Fuct the best.. so old???

[Nerdy91]

old...the new doesn't even begin to be as awesome

[AussieBoy]

while i picked old FOB, i agree, this album is fucking horrendous, i too dont even count it as an album, i got straight to grave as their debut. ur right i heard Stumpy saying they hate it too

[jwicklun]

i voted for old fall out boy, but despite my vote, I understand why fall out boy has to evolve their sound. take this to your grave is a great cd and all, but continueing that sound for every record would be like blink 182 continueing their same immature highschool lyrics till they were in their 30's. i like blink 182, but they really needed to grow up with their sound. i am still optimistic about fall out boy. it's not they're new style thats alienating fans, but rather fangirls/ scene kids that make going to their concerts embarrassing.

[just.Starla.]

Old FOB for sure.

[poppunkgrl23]

I like the lyrics from the more recent album better but over all i say the old fal lout boy wins

[Indoor Living]

so vote.

He probably did.

As for myself, I enjoy Folie a Deux the most out of their material. Their old stuff is great too, but I enjoy their newer material much more.

[Alex DiVincenzo]

Anytime TTTYG is in a FOB poll it's going to win.

[Metal Now]

I voted new, because I love the way they've evolved. And while take this to your rave is still one of my favourite albums of all time I love FAD like Pete love hair straighteners.

[pegu66]

From Under The Cork Tree should be included with the old stuff because it is good in the same way.

[billyboatkid]

Both.

I take them for what they are worth individually.

Doesn't mean it didn't exist.

Also why EOWYG and FUCT should both be included into this poll.

I voted old because I enjoy the more pop punk/faster songs more than the other stuff they've done.

[cscwell107]

Old FOB is the obvious answer

[SECRETBULLET]

I love TTTYG & AEOWYG...i dont think it was their worst album, badly recorded and mixed YES but if it wasn't so harsh sounding it would have been better. I still love it!

[Ryzenfall]

The new has more soul which I am all about.

Fall Out Boy lyrics are always so hard for me to describe. I feel like they sound so much like they want to have meaning, but at their core, they don't have much substance, new or old. The songs usually have a message(s), but often I don't get much out of that message.

[superichie]

so what does Cork Tree fall under? new or old?

[superichie]

I love TTTYG & AEOWYG...i dont think it was their worst album, badly recorded and mixed YES but if it wasn't so harsh sounding it would have been better. I still love it!

AEOWYG is definitely their worst album. Wentz even admits that.

I definitely agree with the more soul part. I don't care what anyone says, I like new FOB. You can only do so much with that pure pop punk sound. I feel like they did all they could with it on TTTYG.

TTTYG will always be my fav just because it was the first time I hear them, but I can still appreciate everything they have released since.

[MickShamrock]

New.

[DarkOne]

infinity on high

[Holly HoX!]

ha, agreed. it should just be a discussion about why TTTYG is lightyears better than anything else theyve done

I don't really give a fuck about Fall Out Boy...I just had to say 'what up?!' for having one of my favorite bands as your avatar.

[SECRETBULLET]

AEOWYG is definitely their worst album. Wentz even admits that.
i dont care what pete thinks. im talking my opinion. i could care less what a band thinks about a song, an album theirs or not if i like it, i like it and theres no changing that. sorry.

[superichie]

I guess I can understand liking a decidely bad record if it was the first time I heard a band that I really grew to like. New Found Glory's Nothing Gold Can Stay is a good example of that. I know that and the It's All About the Girls EP are definitely NFG's worst records, but a lot of the songs on NGCS bring back tons of memories.

yeh basically.

[kaylaalovee]

I voted for both.
Its still Fall Out Boy at the end of the day so I don't think this "change" matters. Most bands change their sound a bit over the years and they know they will lose some fans for it but they will also gain new ones. So the whole "old" and "new" thing is irrelevant in my mind. I still view them the same. But if you really want to know which albums I perfer it would be the earlier stuff. But then again a lot of songs off of Infinity On High were just as good. UGHH this is still kinda hard. bahaha

[VIVALAMATT]

I'm going to say old because they haven't done anything decent since Cork Tree.

[Zippedychick]

I had listened to some of their old stuff but I really got into the new. So I vote new.

[patdnfobfan]

I chose new, although I love their old stuff, too.

[DejaNew]

Where's From Under The Cork Tree?

[SingleDoubt]

I don't really give a fuck about Fall Out Boy...I just had to say 'what up?!' for having one of my favorite bands as your avatar.

amen, brotha. love the user title btw

[alexiamaria]

Take This To Your Grave is by far one of the best pop-punk albums ever.The lyrics are more raw and angsty,more relatable.The sound overall is so much more organic compared to their other records.However,FUCT,IOH,and FAD all are very great albums too.Especially with FAD,the lyrics are great,though nearly impossible to understand.The music is huge,over-the-top and extremely poppy.(But they do it amazingly well). I really couldnt pick a favorite because all of Fall Out Boys records are so distinct and have different aspects that make each one so enjoyable.Fall Out Boy is one of the few bands that have successfully progressed their sound with each new album,without compromising their lyrical ability.

It's all about if the change is good or bad though. Like Brand New, or Midtown totally changed their sound, and it did nothing but good for them. Fall Out Boy lost a lot of fans because their change in sound was quite sub-par. Folie A Deux is doing an alright job at regaining all the ground they lost, in my personal opinion.

TTTYG > FAD > IOH > FUCT (imo)

This, especially the bolded.
Except for me, it's definitely FAD > TTTYG > FUCT > IOH > EOWYG.
I actually like EOWYG, despite the fact that it's not a very good album. I still listen to Pretty In Punk all the time.

Yeah, Pretty In Punk is definetly the best song from EOWYG... I still give that song a listen every now and then.

[tttygxlove]

All of this.

[Theseventhson]

Old.

[bladerdude360]

I don't think one is vastly better than the other. They've definitely changed but I don't think they've sold out. I just love Fall Out Boy in general-and I'm actually seeing them again live next Saturday, so that should be fun.

[more heart]

Old FOB ftw!

[BozzBlonde]

I know this poll is closed but I'm going to add a comment anyway.
I like all of their albums in different ways but all equally.
Old because of their musical style and their stage appearance. Also, Pete did a bit more screaming on those albums.
The new albums because they're really innovative, especially the lyrics. The choruses are extremely catchy. Patrick's musicianship is amazing as well.

Final decision would probably be with the old. A factor being nostalgia too to push old ftw.

[mike'smannequin]

old...duh

[eriatarka24]

the heck?
