I think it is the end of wams with patrick as blue grass artist. I want a whole album!
But of the Fall Out Boy-type stuff Stuff, I still like America's Suitehearts and also the Disloyal Order of the Water Buffalo.
'War Stories'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Coffee's For Closers is, I think, already burned into my brain.
I love Disloyal Order, too. And Tiffany Blews. 20 Dollar Nosebleed is my favorite, though, because it makes me squee to hear Brendon and Patrick together.
I haven't listened to the new FOB yet. I probably will today, unless I get completely absorbed by listening to the Repo! The Genetic Opera soundtrack. (No, I haven't seen the movie yet. But lots of my friends really liked it AND liked the soundtrack, so I blew an iTunes gift card on getting it.)
Fall Out Boy is a group that I really really want to have the liner notes for. The words go by so quickly sometimes, and there's a lot of metaphorical gold in them thar tracks.
I gotta say, I hated "Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet" when I first heard it, but now I can't get it out of my head. And that is one that it's really good to have the lyrics for.
I'm sure the critics will have the same stuff to say as they always do, but really I think this is some of their best work. It's eclectic and all over the place in some ways (seriously, only FOB would put songs like She's My Winona, What a Catch Donnie, and 20 Dollar Nose Bleed on the same album), but there's a lot of really interesting stuff happening, in a way that distances them from "punk-pop" and into a category all their own.

Oops- for some reason I mixed up "Headfirst Slide" and America's Suitehearts!?! Headfirst slide is my favorite, because I like the thing Patrick's voice does when it goes down low. Now, if I could only figure out what he is saying... "Sniffing model glue again?"
Yeah, that's what I hear, Sophia.
Mr. Sandman showing his beam / when he walks into the room walls lean in to listen / surf out blank waves, click back and forth / like old headlights, sniffing model glue again
Thanks Ailleann. It seems like everyone else online thinks it is "sniffing bottled you again" which is a) not what I hear b) kinda gross and c) makes no sense.
