the essays i could write on how ioh and mania are practically intertwined! but these two in particular stick out to me.

went from “till tonight do us part” to “the places that we never should’ve left”

a sort of reminiscence and longing, i guess

I dont know how people can hate on Mania. Patrick goes so fucking hard with the vocals that WHOLE album.

I dare u to listen to Heaven's Gate, Church, Sunshine Riptide, Bishops Knife Trick, and Young And Menace and tell me he didnt put his whole chest and pussy into those vocals. Spectacular. Show stopping. Nothing but bangers.

Fall Out Boy studio albums shortest to longest (because it's interesting to me and if i can run a 5k to all but the last two and a half songs of mania, how far would i run if i ran for the entirety of folie/ioh and do i want to make that a personal goal? maybe)

- M A N I A (35:50)

- American Beauty/American Psycho (39:01)

- Take This To Your Grave (39:28)

- Save Rock And Roll (41:37)

- From Under The Cork Tree (42:59) ((+ Snitches and Talkers and The Music or the Misery 49:18))

- So Much (For) Stardust (44:14) ((- The Pink Seashell 43:25 im sorry this is my skip song))

- Infinity On High (47:57) ((+ ginasfs and it's hard to say i do 54:36))

- Folie à Deux (50:43)

How could anyone hate M A N I A?? Have they heard Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)?? Like “I hope the roof flies off 💥BOOM💥 and we get blown out into space I always make such expensive mistakes” and also “I woke up on the wrong side of p-p-paradise and when I say I’m sorry I’m late I wasn’t showing up at all” and “I became such a strange shape such a strange shape from trying to fit in I became such a strange shape such a strange shaAape”

Mathematically Ranking Albums

(I posted this on Reddit but I figured I'd post it here too!)

So, I'd like to preface this with the fact that I'm absolutely a Can't Do Math Gay™ and math is basically my mortal enemy.

However, I spent entirely too much time the past few days using math to rank Fall Out Boy (and Taylor Swift) albums, based on song sorters you can do online that rank ALL their songs lol. A Swiftie tiktok is what sent me down this rabbit hole, and I'm gonna link that here because they explain how to do the math and I'm not even gonna begin to try to explain all that myself lol

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRKfM5bW/

So, do everything in that video--except you'll need the Fall Out Boy song sorter instead, of course! So here's that:

https://backslashdelta.tumblr.com/fob-song-sorter-all/ (must be opened in a browser, not the app!)

That includes all of the main albums, plus EOWYG, B-Side, Pax Am Days, some other stuff not on albums, etc. It ends up being 136 songs. There are a few things missing (notably the songs Alpha Dog and From Now On We Are Enemies, and the AB/AP remix album) but it has essentially everything else.

I wanted to show my personal ranking (because sometimes overall vibes and top songs and etc. make a difference!) vs. how using the averages of my song rankings changed my album ranking overall. I included EOWYG, B-Side, and Pax Am Days as well, but separately from the main album ranking. Let me know if you do this! I'm so curious to see how different everyone's is. I can post a screenshot of my top 25 or top 50 songs in the comments if anyone is interested in that as well! (<<< I will reblog with that!)

Also, I know I might get flack about FUTCT. I'm sorry ☠️ It's funny because I've been a diehard since that era. I don't know why this happened lol. I do love lt. It's just at the bottom. There's not an album I don't love, other than never really connecting with Pax Am Days.

(Note that this process can be wild because before doing FOB, I did Taylor Swift--and I found out that my favorite album is actually number 4 on the math side of things 😭 world view = shifted lmao)

Having run to both MANIA and Take This To Your Grave i have thoughts (these are just my opinions and if you have opinions too id love to hear them):

- structurally, mania is an excellent album to run to, starting high energy and then maintaining a steady strong pulse through the mid album songs

- several songs on tttyg start very similarly, which isn't bad, but does make it hard for me to judge how far i am/how much i have left of the album (this could also just be me)

- mania has a much clearer order of songs

- tttyg would be an absolute banger of an album to run to when my mood is so high i feel giddy and excited inside

- tttyg has a lot of songs where they play with tempo within the individual song, which is fun, but confuses my feet

**i think i had more to say but i am currently very tired and don't remember them

- sending postcards from a plane crash is very fun to sing along to sprinting down a hill

- the "whoo"s in church are likewise very fun to let out, usually at the point in my run where im wondering why the hell i do this

#fall out boy #fob #mania #m a n i a #take this to your grave #tttyg #running #pls talk to me about your opinions i want to rip these albums apart with someone #i cannot wait to do this with futct #that's 42-49 minutes depending on bonus tracks? #probably when i get to running five miles #run out boy
