Tangentially - I never listened to Fall Out Boy when I was a teen. I was much more into metal at the time and sort of dismissed them until 2013 or so.

I listened to their newest album (at the time) in 2013 and found that I liked a lot of their songs. It wasn’t until like 2019 that I was like “Hey, didn’t they have a bunch of older songs I never paid attention to?” (Of course, I knew the hits… but nothing pre-2013 that wasn’t a single, basically.)

They recently released a new album that was inspired by their older albums (they basically said in an interview “this is the album we would’ve made if we didn’t go on hiatus”). I didn’t like it as much as I did their newer stuff, but that prompted me to actually listen to their entire discography. And yeah, I don’t like their older stuff as much as I do their newer stuff. They have a couple bops, but nothing that really grabbed my attention outside the singles I already knew about.

But I know my perspective is different from a lot of old-school fans, who love old-school Fall Out Boy.
