10K Pageview Special: Fall Out Boy

I'm so sorry this is so late.

But, here it is, so it's fine!

So to get things straight, I'm only taking songs from Fall Out Boy singles and albums. No EPs, because that's just way too much, considering there's already around 6 albums. So without further ado, here is my ranking of pretty much every single Fall Out Boy song:

Okay, moving into the top 10, I'm gonna start reviewing them. Starting with:

#10: The Last Of The Real Ones

This still remains one of my favourite Fall Out Boy songs, and is hands-down the best song from MANIA. I feel like the instrumentation here was just absolutely nailed, and Patrick's vocals go so well with this song. The chorus' beat is really well-constructed, and the piano riff playing throughout the song really complements everything nicely. Overall, this is a great song that deserved more on the charts (it did very well on Hits 1, so I'm not complaining about that, but I mean... Hits 1 stans Fall Out Boy, so it makes sense.)

#9: Beat It (feat. John Mayer)

So there were a few songs here that I had no clue existed, but I'm very glad do. This is one of them. I didn't expect a Michael Jackson cover at all going into this, and since it was on Believers Never Die, it qualified to be in this list. I feel like Patrick Stump and John Mayer just absolutely kill it in this song, and it almost feels like it was made for them. Patrick works especially well with this song, and I'm really happy it got made, and it was for sure a welcome surprise.

#8: Where Did The Party Go

From Save Rock And Roll, their best album in my opinion, we have Where Did The Party Go up at #8. This wasn't a single, but I feel it would've done well. It sounds great, and doesn't really sound like their other songs, which I like because they nailed it here. The chorus is really well-composed, and that guitar is extremely catchy. This is a great song that I'd never heard before this.

#7: Centuries

This was one of their biggest hits, and it remains one of my favourite songs from them. It just sounds so... epic. I don't know how else to describe it. That female voice before the last chorus still gets me every time. I also still yell "HEART" every single time I hear this. This song is less good, and just more absolutely iconic. It deserved all the success it got and more. This is an amazing song that is not overrated one bit. I also could've sworn it said "frozen fruit" in the bridge, but that might just be me.

#6: I've Been Waiting (w/ Lil Peep & ILoveMakonnen)

This song came out last year, and actually made my #2 spot on my 45 favourite songs of 2019 list. bested only by Imagine Dragons. Although Lil Peep and Makonnen's voices aren't great, they definitely got more tolerable. But the best part is easily Patrick Stump. He just absolutely kills it in a way I didn't know was humanly possible. Also, it's catchy as heck. I mean, you still can't get it out of your head. Admit it.

#5: Alone Together

Okay, so for these next two songs, if you asked me who the artist was before this, I could not have told you. And I was so surprised when I heard these whilst listening to Save Rock And Roll. Anyways, I really like this song, and it's so different from other Fall Out Boy songs in the best way possible. I think the band really shines here, and it's honestly just a great song.

#4: Young Volcanoes

This song is so nostalgic for me. Except I had no clue what it was called, so I haven't heard it in years, and listening to it again brought back so many memories. Overall, I think this song is really solid, and the guitar-ballad-ish vibe that it's giving off is really great. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I think this is really good.

#3: My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)

This is FOB's biggest hit, and there's a reason why it was so popular. It's just so good. I mean, it's My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark. If you say you don't know what that song is... you're lying. Everything about this song just works in the best way possible, and it just all falls together perfectly. You know you like this song, and you can't deny it.

#2: The Kids Aren't Alright

I hadn't heard this song before doing this, and when I first heard it I really liked it. In fact, it was up at #1 before I switched it with the #1 I have now. I feel like this song was really well put together, and it being a bit slower benefits it really well. The song's just kind of... mesmerizing, and the chorus is roaring, and it falls together really really well. The drum beat with a lot of reverb on it is really great, and for it to slow down again was a seamless switch. Overall, this is a great song. It probably wouldn't have made a really good single, but it's still good.

#1: Save Rock And Roll (w/ Elton John)

Um. This is something I never expected. I didn't know it existed, and I'm glad it does. I mean, who ever thought a collaboration between FOB and Elton John of all people would be so good. This is the title track from the respective album, and it for sure deserves that honour. Elton's low voice and Patrick's higher voice compliment each other really well. And in the chorus with the harmonies, it's just... absolutely amazing. If you haven't heard this yet, you're not wasting your time. Go listen to it. The absolute best part comes in the last chorus though. There's a key change, and... wow. It literally gives me goosebumps every single time. Just listen to it. That's all I can say. Listen to it right now. Go. I'm not even asking anymore. Go listen to it. I'm waiting. Stop reading! Go listen to it. What are you doing? Why aren't you listening to this? GO!



Wow. This was a whole lot of fun to make, even if it was a bit grating to listen to MANIA. I hope you guys excuse this being so late. Post Malone is next! See you guys then!
