nardes Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Mine looks like ice blue to me. Matches the glacier thing on the inside cover. Thought blue was a weird color choice... then when I pulled it out it all made sense be cause of the glacier pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsWetWilly Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just FYI, some people on Instagram are saying they got this at Hot Topic. So some stores must have it. Still waiting for my Amazon package to deliver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jesus Of Suburbia Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Just picked up a copy at FYE where it said blue as well and... It's not blue lol. Just a clear record. Is it possible they messed up the color? Idk if its just me or not but I can't see any blue on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChasHawk Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why is this priced higher at HT than almost everywhere else? Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Why is this priced higher at HT than almost everywhere else? HT is known to raise prices by a few bucks on basically every record they sell. Duff and prettyylush 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_unproductive Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 got mine at HT. its almost clear looking. You can see wisps of a really light blue, but it looks clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibrittanybutler Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Alright, is this better or not as good as Save Rock and Roll? Worse. In my opinion, at least. FOB is basically my favorite band, and have been for years. But, I can't help but treat this album like it's just a filler between SRAR and whatever's next (and hopefully better.) It just feels so mismatched and slapped together without much thought. Granted, it was only recorded in 3 weeks... and it unfortunately shows. The songwriting and production feels kinda lazy like they just phoned it in. Songs like Jet Pack Blues, Fourth of July, Favorite Record, and Immortals are some of the cheesiest FOB songs yet. They're grating to listen to. AB/AP, Uma Thurman, Twin Skeleton's and Irresistible are by far the strongest tracks on it. Again, just my opinion.

AB/AP, Uma Thurman, Twin Skeleton's and Irresistible are by far the strongest tracks on it. Again, just my opinion. I think it's better than SRAR. Maybe that's just because I thought SRAR was an enormous disapointment on release (bands can change, but the poppier sound REALLY felt like a step back). I don't think it works well as an album. I'll give you that. I think it's got some good songs on it, but the way it was "slapped together" is evident; there's no flow. "Jet Pack Blues" is almost favorite of the bunch, only second to "Twin Skeletons". I must say, I'm surprised you think it's "grating to listen to"; I find it quite melodic, emotional, and captivating. On a similar note, the title track is "grating" to me. Incredibly repetitive and about two minutes longer than it should be. It's lazy. I have no qualms with the production. You can take my opinion with a grain of salt. In fact, many people find it shocking to hear that I believe Infinity on High to be Fall Out Boy's magnum opus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I prefer SRAR over this. 4th of July is the only track on the album that really gets me excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeb_enjoys_vinyl Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 late to the discussion... but i think this albums alright... jet pack blues is probably my least favorite tho, contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion... still have yet to pick up a copy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DecayToDeath Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 late to the discussion... but i think this albums alright... jet pack blues is probably my least favorite tho, contrary to what seems to be the popular opinion... still have yet to pick up a copy I didn't like that track at first, but it's been promoted to "tied for first" with "Twin Skeletons". Also, I haven't picked one up yet but I probably will. Has there been a pattern with color? Is it more clear at some retailers and more blue at others?

WhoIsTheMilkMan Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Mine looks more glacier-like than than the ones I've seen here. That aside, I ordered my copy from Amazon and my record is more than a little warped. Plays fine though and sounds a lot better than the other two FOB records I own (FAD and SRAR).
