New Fall Out Boy - "This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race"
Ooh! We just made your weekend with this one. Just one listen to the first single from FOB's forthcoming record and you can tell that Van Gogh appreciation is rubbing off on ol' Petey. High art!
Hear it here. Wait that doesn't sound like Babyface! Liars.
Infinity On High is out 2/6/07.

Stereogum, what the fuck has happened to you? Totally dropping the ball. You never used to get excited about shit like this. Are you under new management? Not that you care, but I am never coming back to this site, with the 100 other blogs that are now better than this piece of corporate shit... You used to be beautiful!

ahahaha this made my day

poseur alert. what are you talking about, i make music? when did you start reading stereogum, anyway? they always post shit like this. for us to laugh at! but instead i'm laughing at people like you who come late to the party and then act like they know what the fuck they're talking about. annoying.

What's up with the backup singer singing the chorus to that Rapture song in the background halfway through the intro?

As impossible as I thought it was to make a song more boring, generic, and overall unpleasant to listen to than anything off of "From Under the Cork Tree", I think Fall Out boy has done it. Well, okay, it's not quite as generic...it doesn't sound exactly like every other pop-punk band anymore. It sounds worse.
This'll shoot straight to number one.

backstreet boys, anyone?!?!

this song is pretty good...snobs

You people are really retarded. It's obviously just a joke that Fall Out Boy is playing on their fans to see how loyal they are. If you've seen "Fall Out Boy Go R&B" and if you have common sense and good judgement then you'll know that they are making fun of themselves. They probably crack up everytime they read one of your stupid comments. Sorry that they have hit records and a huge fanbase. Their only mistake was putting out Sugar, We're Going Down so radio DJ's could play it every five seconds. Go talk about a band you like instead of ragging on the one's you dont like. It's just that simple. Freaktards.

is that living colour?

Right. I *gasp* like FOB and *another gasp* own their last two CDs (were those the only ones?), so I'm not being an indie snob when I say this sucked more than anything I've heard in a long time. If this is a joke, it is elaborate and stupid. Loyalty to a band should not be blind following of whatever crap they toss at you, it should be genuine interest. So yeah...
Score = 0
dude, whats up im a fob fan and all. but this is shit. c'mon guys the new album better be better thatn this!

I honestly don't know how I feel about this, I'm Speechless, and that is a Bad thing. I'm sorta like disappointed, in the song, and the bad.

I'm listening to the whole thing for the first time, and I actually like the music, but not he good charlotte ripoff feel that it has. Also, I don't like the title, I think they need to reference more 80s movies (nobody puts baby in the corner,a little less 16 candles a little more "touch me") may I suggest aloha mr hand

There's a scary readership here now. Whoever brought up the point that if you have been reading here for awhile you're in on the joke and know that it's posted for laughs. Then there's the people on opposite ends of the spectrum, or rather, polar opposites. There's entirely too many comments in this post supporting such laughably bad music. I think people may be coming here now and not getting the joke, then mistaking the blog for actually supporting shit like FOB and my chemical romance.

k. so, looks like im the only one who thinks its cool. haha.

that was shittier than the shit in my cat's litterbox. of course to most pre-pubescent girls, that was gold.

People can post whether they like it or they hate it. It shouldn't make a difference to you as an individual. I think this and the other song they've leaked are quality if you give them a few listens, but they're not going to convert anyone admittedly. It seems early to be releasing songs with the album coming out February though.
Score = 0
hey all you haters --- remember when Fall Out Boy were an unknown band and were actually considered cool? probably not, you poseurs
the song is great for what it is
Score = 0
Look at me! I hate anything mainstream or popular! The song isnt the greatest but still their last two albums were fairly good. Most of the haters liked them at one point or another and then they became popular so it wasnt cool to like them anymore. Its like that for a lot of bands. So you faggots needs to stop being dumbasses and stop hating music that is popular or mainstream.

hey yall
just remember not all the songs on an album is a hit and that it has potential if not in this group. why slash'em down for broadening their horizons. how else do ya think they are getting to the masses of more than just their original fan-base? give it a rest and give them a chance, cause ya know ya liked them before and ya will again.
huggins to the guys with balls.

Woah.
Certainly is different.
Doesn't sound like the FOB I've been listening to for years...
Someone here said it was joke... I kinda doubt that. But maybe it.
I have to say, it certainly has me curious about their new album. And a bit scared. If all the songs are like this... well I don't think I'll continue listening to them. At least not often =P
For now, I still love FOB. And even if the new album were to suck, I'd still love all their previous work.

Don't get mad at them for being good, damn. I'm proud to own my FOB sweat shirt. Even if this new album sucks. I'll always look back on "Yule Shoot Your Eye Out." THE BEST CHRISTMAS SONG EVER! All they are trying to do is get new fans. That will make them more money. Can you blame them for wanting money? I mean, We all want money for different reasons. Maybe Pete wants to move out of his parent's house in Chicago. Maybe, They found a good music style and wanted to share it. Who knows? Whatever they are doin'. It works.

Mother of God you people are absurd. Fall Out Boy is pop-punk. And for what it is, it is very, very good. If you don't like pop-punk, you won't like Fall Out Boy. For example, I don't particularly like the genre. What I'm not doing, you'll notice, is going on the stereogum forum and writing about the length, width, bredth, and general magnitude by which it sucks, corporate whores, money-grubbing art-less common blah blah blah boring.
Get the fuck over yourselves.
P.S. Iron and Wine blows.

"This is crap. I'm sure it'll go straight to number 1."
Get the fuck over yourselves and deal with the fact that the general population doesn't like the music you like, and vise versa. You all prefer it that way, I'm sure.
