Yeah, I'll Condense the FOB Posts Tomorrow, Sorry

[Jason Tate]

Fall Out Boy (http://www.absolutepunk.net/falloutboy) have announced (http://www.mtv.com/news/#/news/articles/1550711/20070124/fall_out_boy.jhtml) they will be including a free live EP, titled Leaked in London, with their new album when it hits stores on February 6th. The release date will not change - they'll just be giving away more music.

[Jason Tate]

Should put some (all?) of the the b-sides on the EP too.

I didn't know we'd have so much FOB news posted today -- or I would have put all the news posts together -- sorry about inundating you.

[rhinitus]

i'll take it

[...xcore]

they're just trying to get people to still buy the album, haha.

[ihatecayte]

pete was alluding to something extra with the album in his journal post last night. yay! i'll take it :)

[Drew Beringer]

sweewt

[MikeJames]

"omg! but they suckage live!"

[trindaddy]

hell im still gonna buy it, but this will probably leak too

[Drew Beringer]

I like the title too, and it's a cool way to give something to fans (by having the download code in the cd).

[bradyreier]

good news.

[lukenelson]

somebody post the whole article....mtv is being stupid....in fact whenever you have an mtv article go ahead and post the whole article...many people have the problem of not being able to read the whole thing

[LostSymphonies]

sweet, classy move

[AP_Punk]

Ooo. nice.

Fuck MTV.com. I hate that damn website. It's impossible to use.

[jhennis]

ill just wait until this leaks

[thewk]

[_thethirdeffect]

That's a pretty cool move on their behalf. I'm excited.

By now, you might be aware that Fall Out Boy's new album, Infinity on High, somehow leaked online over the weekend. What you might not know is what FOB's label, Island Records, plans to do about it.
You may have heard that the label was thinking about moving the album's release date up a week, from February 6 to January 30. And you probably read the reports on various message boards that FOB mouthpiece/bassist Pete Wentz all but confirmed that move onstage at a Friends or Enemies Tour stop in Atlanta.
Well, it turns out that none of that information is true, but that doesn't mean Island or the band will sit idly by while the album flows freely through the Internet. Instead, they're planning to sweeten the purchase-ability of Infinity by including access to a special live EP with copies of the album, news the band broke to MTV News International just hours after touching down in London to begin its European tour.
"We wanted to dispel a few rumors for everyone who's out there on the Internet and maybe has come to the conclusion that our record is coming out on January 30. It's not. The release date is still February 6," Wentz said. "And we're going to include a little something extra, a special little EP, as part of the package."
According to a spokesperson for FOB's management, the EP will carry the humorous handle Leaked in London and will be recorded Monday at the band's sold-out show at London's Hammersmith Palais. Everyone who purchases — or preorders — a physical copy of Infinity will then be able to insert their CD into a computer, opening up a special key for a free download of the EP through the band's Web site, FallOutBoyRock.com.
Downloads will begin February 6, which, just in case you weren't paying attention, is still the date Infinity on High will hit stores

[Coreyinne]

I like this idea. I wonder if it'll be mostly new or mostly old stuff on the EP.

i wonder if preorders will get this EP too

are you serious?

[sdbrown]

Will the APnet exclusive song be included as a b-side? :-D

[Jared Kaufman]

they're just trying to get people to still buy the album, haha.
OMG! Artists want to be paid for their work?

Thank you.

[notoaststereo]

i was gonna pick it up anyway... so sounds good

[ThankQ4DVenom]

are you serious?


that was sarcasm... at its worse ?

[DItaliaO]

I hope the set list is the same as the FOE set list.

[sweetforever]

excellent news

[falloutboy.]

this cd is still going to sell massive amounts, but im happy to be getting more fall out boy in the process

[ramstar]

they're just trying to get people to still buy the album, haha.

what makes that funny? of course they need the album to sell, it's their job! if the album doesn't sell, Island will lose hope in them, and there is a possibility of them being dropped. but from the looks of things, this album is going to sell very well.

also to whoever asked if pre-orders get this as well, "Everyone who purchases — or preorders — a physical copy of Infinity will then be able to insert their CD into a computer, opening up a special key for a free download of the EP through the band's Web site, FallOutBoyRock.com." - MTV.com

[music_is_my_boy]

awesome, i preordered it from hmv, i was gonna buy it anyways but this should be pretty sweet too.

[Branevember31]

ill take that

[FUCKDIRTYWIPES]

hahaha

[JulieLynn]

will this only be for pre order or for us regular people who are going to get it the day of?

[ManicanParty49]

Will this be included with the preorder too?

[Scuba Chris]

Will the APnet exclusive song be included as a b-side? :-D
edit: I am obviously confused.
edit part 2: Damn, I missed it.

[Scuba Chris]

how many people are going to ask about the preorder when the answer is already BOLDED

[marbury1414]

"omg! but they suckage live!"

I laughed.

[JulieLynn]

how many people are going to ask about the preorder when the answer is already BOLDED

well its kinda hard when work blocks MTV.com so you can't read the whole thing...

[Scuba Chris]

well its kinda hard when work blocks MTV.com so you can't read the whole thing...
its posted in this thread.

[Moira Amiss]

well its kinda hard when work blocks MTV.com so you can't read the whole thing...

not to start anything, but someone posted the article in a reply . . .

[JulieLynn]

its posted in this thread.

yeah, i dont have the time to look for it at the moment...

sorry for my lameness :-|

[Matt_Dizzle]

sexyy

[thebrowncoat]

Awesome news...yeah, they're just trying to make sure people buy the album, but I'm not going to complain about a free live EP. It's a classy move and a good idea.

And, although I'm not a big "buy records from Best Buy fan", it means pre-ordering from Best Buy now gets you the album, 2 bonus tracks and the live EP...with free shipping. That's a pretty great deal.

[ManicanParty49]

how many people are going to ask about the preorder when the answer is already BOLDED

Haha, I didn't even read anything except the main post. So yeah.

[SwedishHeat]

No doubt you'll have to download a proprietary player (that sends Island Records all sorts of information about your computer, how many times you listen to the songs, etc) in order to play said EP. . . which will no doubt be stripped of all DRM and available for download around noon on the 6th.

The scene FTW!!

[itsnotthateasy]

I need someones help. I posted a review of the album, where did it go? Help, I know this is the wrong place to ask but seeriously it disappeared into air

[Ruggiero2oo8]

sounds good to me.

[garlicgirl1210]

i like this idea.

[scrubba3]

so you can't get it if you buy the album off of itunes? i'm in a foreign country for a while and i don't think i can get a physical copy for a bit.

[noles05]

what if it's just a scam for people to buy the album?

details to come.

[gonfreaks]

Eh, won't work on many people who were disappointed on the album, but it's a nice bonus for those who were planning to. I don't see why they think this won't leak either (and I could personally care less about a live EP, I most likely won't listen to it much)

[jorn444]

Damn, now i wish i would have pre-ordered this album from best buy instead of fueled by ramen... i want G.I.N.A.S.F.S! oh well, i guess i'll be able to download it or something once the actual album comes out...

[blimpcityhero11]

hahaha I laughed at that one....

Anyways, the hoards of teenage girls will flock to buy this on February 6th one way or another. I wouldn't be worried about the record not selling. They are one of the biggest bands, especially amongst that whole 16-25 range, around right now.

I'm going to laugh when the download code leads to a hi-res photo of the noodz though.

[bobbob]

Damn, now i wish i would have pre-ordered this album from best buy instead of fueled by ramen... i want G.I.N.A.S.F.S! oh well, i guess i'll be able to download it or something once the actual album comes out...

And get it in better quality without DRM, since GINASFS is a Japanese and European bonus track. Waiting for the MP3 and pirating it is honestly the better idea.

As for this, I liked the sound of it... until I heard it was digital. Fuck that, fuck DRM and fuck "digital downloads" - I want a CD, otherwise I'd just pirate stuff. Will be interesting how they sound based on my live experience with FOB.

[estrellaxstarr]

haha every time i check back in on this site.. moreee fall out boy news.
i like it though.. it's entertaining. ;-)

[TomFoolery]

what if it's just a scam for people to buy the album?

details to come.

Really? Its not a scam its a smart idea. They didn't make the album to just give away. I'll prolly buy it now and wouldnt have if it didnt come with the EP so good idea Island!

[truthbetoldxx]

What was your first clue? Them saying that? ;-)
hahaha

[broken_glass]

i was going to buy it anywy, so this is a nice bonus. i hope its a good quality recording.

[ThankQ4DVenom]

ahhh if its like that ill be pissed.. i just wanna be able to download it and live my life.. everyone will know the code within an hour of the release it theyre all the same

[tonighttonight0]

i'm still not buying it...the new album sucks more than richard simmons and paris hilton combined

[lukenelson]

does anyone know what all the b-sides are for this album?

[music3chick]

nice

[tiff_taff]

Nice.

[fenderkid212]

"omg! but they suckage live!"

maybe pete wentz decided to actually played his bass when they recorded it :shrug:

[xerovision1]

hell im still gonna buy it, but this will probably leak too

was about to say that.. haha. the live music will just leak within the week also.

[cory-182]

I don't care what they package with their album....I will NOT buy their new album.

[spud73]

Well I was going to get it on the release date anyway, so bonus I guess.

[You Won't Know]

pete was alluding to something extra with the album in his journal post last night. yay! i'll take it :)

Sounds like a good idea to me. Anyone know if they are gonna have this on the preordered albums as well?

[You Won't Know]

does anyone know what all the b-sides are for this album?

Good question, because if the last album's b-sides were any indication, they might be better than what's on the new CD (which is really starting to grow on me, BTW).
I loved "Hand of God," "Austin, We Have a Problem," "The Music or the Misery" and especially "Snitches and Talkers Get Stitches and Walkers"... and these songs would've been much better than a few of the lesser songs off of FUCT.

[rorytws]

this is gonna be sick, i'm at the palais show.

[candleguy1142]

they're just trying to get people to still buy the album, haha.




obviously dumbass.

[Lehcar]

will it be one of those cds where you can only listen to the tracks and not physically put them on your ipod?

hopefully not.

[FrankIerolove]

O pre-ordered it on play.com will i get the EP?

[Xx_FallOutBoy_x]

does this count for pre-orders?

[Xx_FallOutBoy_x]

i'm still not buying it...the new album sucks more than richard simmons and paris hilton combined

personally, I say its awesome

[samantha b-face]

personally, I say its awesome


agreed
:-)
