Too be honest, I'm kinda nervous after hearing the single. I don't think bands age well at all, I have really low expectations for this even though I consider myself a fan. It can't match up to the intensity of TTYG. Or the bold experiment-like changes in IOH or FAD. Realistically, this will be a dud that most fans will want to forget.

love all their previous albums! i thought the new song was gay. hopefully they get more pop punk again, but i doubt that!

Infinity On High : disliked the first single, loved the album

It's not going to sound like TTYG or FUCT. They aren't a pop punk band anymore, and that's because they have progressed/matured/whatever musically. I would also argue that they are pretty decent businessmen as well, and they will make music that they think will sell well.

I don't think it'll be anything groundbreaking, but I'll probably love it.

Also, if "gay" is the best adjective you can use, you have a pretty shitty vocabulary for someone who is supposed to be 24 years old. Obligatory: GINASFS

this.

I generally try to not hype anything up ever and am therefore rarely disappointed, but it's hard to do that for this album because of their past albums and also because well. Fall Out Boy's back.

I'm going to recommend editing your original post with less-offensive wording and refraining from using "gay" as a derogatory term.

I've found that their first singles are usually the weakest tracks on the album, I mean I prefer the new incarnation of 'My Songs...' a lot more than 'This Ain't...', so I think it will be enjoyable.

Pretty much this. I can't say I really dislike many FOB songs, but the singles on the most recent albums are not my favorite.

[Coloso]

for the life of me I can't think of a time when a pop-punk band aged well at all

Yeah, I don't want to sound like an asshole, but I don't get why this couldn't be asked in FOB's official thread.

Anyway, I think the album will be good, but totally different from previous ones. I'm expecting a new version of the band, with a different approach.
