Save Rock and Roll is the fifth studio album by the American rock band Fall Out Boy, released on April 12, 2013, by Island Records. It was the band's first album in five years after Folie à Deux (2008). Fall Out Boy took a hiatus at the end of 2009 after extensive touring stints; each member pursued individual musical interests. Conceived as an attempt to reinvent the band's sound, Save Rock and Roll was recorded in secrecy in California, beginning in the fall of 2012. Produced by the band and Butch Walker, the album marked Fall Out Boy's departure from the longtime producer Neal Avron. Combining rock, pop, and R&B styles, Save Rock and Roll features guest vocals from Foxes, Big Sean, Courtney Love, and Elton John. The lyrics address internal struggles of growing up, experiencing love and heartbreak, and dwelling on nostalgia. The band filmed music videos for every song on the album, which were compiled and released as The Young Blood Chronicles in 2014. They embarked on an arena tour across Europe, North America, and Australia throughout 2013, and co-headlined the North American concert tour Monumentour with Paramore from June to September 2014. Four songs were released as singles, with the lead single "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" reaching the top 20 on international charts including the US Billboard Hot 100. Save Rock and Roll peaked atop the US Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. The album also peaked at number one in Canada and number two in the United Kingdom and Australia, being certified in the first two countries. It revitalized Fall Out Boy's commercial success and received generally positive reviews, although most music critics were hesitant to categorize it as a pure rock record.
Fall Out Boy makes very catchy rock songs with lot of bombastic arrangements. The songs individually are ok (but not great) and listening to an album as a whole the repeated trick that is used makes it boring and inoffensive. This album will not Save Rock And Roll.
Holy cringe
Love this 5 Such an iconic album, with unforgettable bangers. Their best for sure.
Heard of them but didn't know the music. Very good!
Not the best pop/emo/punk album. But very enjoyable
Another band with an immediately familiar name that I had no sense at all of what their sound was. I browsed a handful of what a quick search suggested as their hits and nothing was particularly familiar. No idea why I know about this band. The album was immediately appealing, but then a whole lot of it fell into a pretty uniform groove. Pop, and nothing against it, well performed and decent lyrics, but a little shallow.
Upbeat, melodic pop rock. Song after song after song. A formula repeated from first track to last.
Love FOB, hate this album
Sorry personal view but Iv never liked fall out boy and never will. Something about them and their music just grates on me. If this what saves rock n roll deary me.
