Fall Out Boy is back together! And they are better than ever! It was their single My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up) that got them popular again. This song has the longest title I've ever heard. It has this electronic sounding beat that is really interesting. It is the second best off this album. 

Alone Together is catchy. And since they played Light Em Up on the radio so many times. I started to get tired of it. And that's when I found Alone Together. My new favorite song. I love the kid sounding voices between the “Say Yeah” and “Let's be Alone Together”. It has few verses because the second basically repeats the first.

The Phoenix sounds like something Fall Out Boy would've made in one of their previous albums. It is a great opening to the album. I like how Pete Wentz raises his voice to really emphasize "Like a Phoenix".

Where Did The Party Go sounds kind of like The Phoenix. That's the only thing I find good about that track. What about you?

It's amazing what Pete Wentz can do with his voice in Death Valley. If all tracks sounded like Death Valley, the genre for this album would most likely be rock. You can tell just by the title that it is rock.

Finally, we come to Save Rock and Roll. It is a slow song so it is not so interesting. But Elton John makes it more interesting. I don't think his voice and Pete Wentz's voice blend very well. So this track is in the middle.

The best song on this song in my opinion is Locked Out Of Heaven. I hated it at first. But now I really like it. It has some strange instrumentals that I don't really like. But overall the song is great.

Next is When I Was Your Man. The only instrument in that song is piano. And that's not a bad thing. It's a good song. If you read one of my previous posts, you'd see that I compared Olly Murs - I Need You Now to this song. People probably don't like it 'cause it's boring. But I think the opposite.

Next we have Gorilla. Gorilla is a cool song. It is the first song I heard from him that had that much explicit content. I like the little back up voice during the chorus. I can't tell if that's Bruno or not. It would have to be my second favorite track.

Natalie is also a cool song. It has such a quick pace. Bruno sings really fast. Everything about this song is fast. I love the chorus of the song. Apparently, it's about a girl named Natalie who ran away from Bruno. It's hard to understand it because of the fast pace.

Next we have Treasure. I used to love this song. Now it has become one of my least favorite tracks off the album. It sounds like it was made in the 1950's. And that got me into it at first. Now it just irritates me. Luckily, Gorilla is his new popular song and they don't play Treasure as much anymore.
