Audio CD
Publisher: Island

Multi-platinum three-time MTV VMA-winning Island Records group Fall Out Boy have officially announced their upcoming new third Island album FOLIE A DEUX, to be released on December 16th 2008. The band told a packed audience about the release last night at the 2008 Democratic National Convention, when they headlined the "Rock the Vote Ballot Bash." FOLIE A DEUX was produced by Neal Avron at The Pass Studios in Los Angeles. The first single will be the track "I Don't Care." Radio dates to be announced shortly. For FOLIE A DEUX, Fall Out Boy spearheaded a politically charged group that unveiled cryptic "Big Brother" type messages in order to support and ignite a democratic process. Impressively, the creative album roll-out garnered over 1 Million impressions in just one week online across literally hundreds of websites such as absolutepunk.net, friendsorenemies."This roll-out was started to engage people and let them tell their own stories. We came up with the beginning and the end, while the rest happened organically." says FOB bass player Pete Wentz. Meanwhile, Fall Out Boy's cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" has been nominated for Best Rock Video at this year's 25th annual MTV VMAs. The worldwide cablecast takes place live from Paramount Studios in Hollywood, on Sunday night, September 7th at 9:00 p.m. (Eastern).

Since their first major market headlining North American arena tour in spring 2006, Chicago's Fall Out Boy - Patrick Stump (vocals/guitar), Pete Wentz (bass), Joe Troh man (guitar), and Andy Hurley (drums) - have appeared on the covers of Rolling Stone, Spin, Blender, and Alternative Press and have performed on NBC's The Today Show, Saturday Night Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, and Late Night with Conan O'Brien, CBS's The Late Show with David Letterman, ABC's Jimmy Kimmel Live and more

Quite aweful
Customer Rating: 1 out of 5 
I am convinced these guys lost it after the first album. Once again fame, fortune, and MTV destroys a band that had some potential.

Awesome-riffic
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I bought this album in the store, because I was curious as to what could ever top the last album (Infinity On High, fantastic album btw), I was slightly differnt, I found my self immediately falling in love with "I Don't Care", "Coffees For Closers", and "Tiffany Blews", but this entire album, pieced together was some of their best, with all the chaos, ironclad tight harmonies, it's an album, I can dance to, I can Run to, or just sing out loud, (though quite off key some times). Totally recommend this album to anyone looking for something fun the listen to.

Subduing the Fall Out
Customer Rating: 4 out of 5 
Minus the kinetic energy of Infinity on High but still driving home the massive hooks they're known for, Fall Out Boy goes for the maturity prize on "Folie A Deux." Given that their pals in Panic At the Disco couldn't survive the change that created Pretty. Odd., it's interesting to note that the maturity seems tentative. There's the glammy lead off single "I Don't Care" and a string laden power ballad, "What a Catch, Donnie," but the sounds you'd expect come through on the harmony laden "America's Sweethearts" and the semi-pretentious song titles.

What's missing is that funky sense of exuberance that marked "Infinity" and From Under the Cork Tree. Just because you can get Elvis Costello to sing a line on one of your better songs and get the Neptunes to produce a track (the otherwise un-memorable "w.a.m.s.") singles more a shark jump than capturing artistic cred. Just ask The Hives, who made the great Black And White Album with Pharrel Williams only to see it vanish like their previous albums did. FoB are big enough to not worry, yet, but the somewhat subdued nature of "Folie A Deux" begins to raise the questions.

Nice Album!

I'm kind of a fan of Fall Out Boy, If you like this band, you should buy this album.

By far their best
Customer Rating: 5 out of 5 
I'm confused at the other reviews stating that there's nothing new on this album. It's much different than other Fall Out Boy music. After making the same album (TTTYG) two more times (FUTCT, IOH), Fall Out Boy finally makes something different. Folie A Deux explores different ranges of emotion, is immensely personal, and a lot more fun. Folie A Deux basically means "shared delusion," which is alludes to Pete and Patrick: Pete writes the lyrics and Patrick writes the music and sings, and he sings passionately words that aren't about him. I'm happy Fall Out Boy did not try to write Take This To Your Grave again and instead came out with something much different, and much better.
