Ep079 - Infinity on High by Fall Out Boy
We're back! And we figured we should return with as big an album as the 2000s produced, and so we chose Fall Out Boy's massively successful Infinity on High. The 2007 album sold over 2 million records worldwide! We love the album, but can't help but make fun of some of the lyrics. And we're genuinely blown away by the creative leap taken on this album - Patrick Stump really expanded the definition of what works in pop-punk with this one. Video version to come as soon as Blake works out the technical problems...apologies.

SNACK! Will We Ever Get Another Paramore Album?
Hayley Williams released the album version of the 17 singles she dropped last month, but more importantly (because we're out of touch), apparently she and Paramore guitarist Taylor York broke up. We're understandably concerned about what that means for the future of one of our favorite bands.

String versions of Jack's Mannequin? YES, Please!
We're talking about the 20 year celebratory version of Jack's Mannequin - Everything In Transit. It's just Andrew, piano, and GREAT string arrangements of 5 of the album's tracks. And we dig it. Plus we continue our talk from last week about artists re-imagining their songs/albums.

We Did NOT Expect These Artists to be Featured on Emo Classics
Vote for which albums we should cover on the show next! Blake and Kyle talk about Acceptance's new singles from their re-recording of Phantoms, which turns 20 this year. The entire album features guest vocalists, including Teddy Swims on So Contagious and Martin Johnson on Take Cover. The new Phantoms/Twenty album is out September 12th! Plus we talk about where Avril Lavigne stole her signature Complicated video look from, and expand on why we think so many artists are doing cool re-imaginings of their albums lately.
