Featuring Big Sean here is an edge that works well for this gritty, minor key track. Then Big Sean slurs, "Oh God", and Stump growls into full swing. The tone changes once 'The Mighty Fall' begins with an eerie chanting 'la la la' accompanied by a grungy electric guitar. It's a delicious track, but I wonder if the beginning drumbeat is meant to shadow that of a certain British songstress. There's a pattern here, especially as the next track (my favourite), 'Just One Yesterday' finds Stump belting out a bitter yet sentimental tune with British singer Foxes: "I want to teach you a lesson in the worst kind of way / Still I'd trade all my tomorrows for just one yesterday". Maybe the band is feeling the effects of time, that things are not the same as they used to be. 'Where Did the Party Go' carries a faint echo of their old 'Dance Dance', but now there's a sense of that old party fading away and leaving them "Ending it on the phone". These first two tracks are awesome driving songs, and it really got me revved up for the day.įollowing that is 'Alone Together', toning down the fire a notch as the lyrics entice with staying ". 2 on iTunes while the official music video on their YouTube channel has garnered more than 10 million views.

Most notably, gone are the quirky song titles that have nothing to do with the lyrics (think 'Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet'). Their rebirth is marked with a change in sound - while there are still instances of the Fall Out Boy I grew to love throughout my teens, their music is different now. It's been four years since their last album ' Folie a Deux', and it was to the thunderous roar of fans' delight that they announced the end of their hiatus. 'Pheonix' is the very first track of Fall Out Boy's long awaited return to the music scene with their album ' Save Rock and Roll'. A fitting line and a fitting song title as well.
