To me, Fall Out Boy isn't the best band in the world or quite as good as all the teen fangirls seem to think, but I wouldn't say they're a bad band. Now, ignoring all labels, they're a fun band to listen to, the lyrics aren't half bad, and they provide enough talent that is necessary to what they're trying to accomplish. They may be a little formulatic with they're songs, but many bands are, and as far as I'm concerned, it's a good formula. I can see why they follow it. As for Patrick (the lead vocalist), I think he's fairly good. I'm not going to claim he's better or worse than Mike Patton, because I wouldn't know, but comparing him to many of the other singers in that genre, I would say Patrick is above average. I must say, however, I'm easily satisfied with vocals... I listen to a good deal of punk music where the vocals aren't that great at all, so I suppose I'm easy to impress. And with that being said, I still think that Patrick gets the job done well. I listen to a wide variety of music and having Fall Out Boy in there somewhere makes for a good change of pace.

I respect that.

Anyway, I don't know if any of you live in England but the idiotic chavs are starting to like Fall Out Boy. Its rather odd...
And yeah, I did cotton on to the mimicking of fans, and that is quite clever. They aren't in my top list of bands however, but their music isn't half bad.
Ummmm.......You're name............What the hell?
