like the song, confused that the album is titled save rock and roll, but the song is anything but rock and roll...

Maybe he meant "it's not not going to happen...seriously".

So all the times we heard someone say they are so excited that FOB are working on new tunes, they were actually working on new tunes.

Has Jason weighed in yet? Wondering his thoughts.

I heard this as well.

I know they usually do not lead an album with their first single, but I feel like this would be an appropriate opener. I can see it followed with a song that "drives" a little more in terms of guitar work. That would work for me.

You want to know who else sells a lot of records? Nickelback

Self-titled was not a comeback album. It was released in 2003. It went double platinum. Would you like to try again? Also, what is a comback?

People tend to forget that the context of listening to an album heightens your memory of that album. People are hoping that if Fall Out Boy released music in the vein of FUCT or even IOH that it would make them feel the way those old albums felt. Truth is, that is not the way it works. If they released something like that, you would just be disappointed and complain as you wouldn't feel the new record like you felt the first time you heard the old ones. You can't re-create that feeling, it has to happen organically.

Then release a primarily rock album, hoping the pop listeners try it and like it because they liked hte first single, and people like rock music again.

Probably not the case, but we can dream right?

Butch Walker can take things either way - I like your thought though. Either way, the album is going to be catchy and, once people get over their self-imposed expectations, well received.

Agreed - I think I wrote this on like page 40 - would make perfect sense

People buy the song because they like it. Is it that hard to understand?

List every song on the radio now in ranking order of how asinine it is.

I would gather the idea festered for a bit with trying to get everyone's schedules aligned to get this baby rolling. Of course one could argue that no one was doing anything that they couldn't drop on a dime! But, you have been right about this whole situation so no use in trying to argue against that.
