M A N I A专辑介绍
The pop-punk titans Fall Out Boy will return with a new album called M A N I A on September 15th through Island/DCD2, it serves as their seventh overall following 2015’s lukewarm American Beauty/American Psycho.
A week after leading fans on a Chicago scavenger hunt, Fall Out Boy has made good on its promise of unveiling something big. On April 27, one of the last rock bands standing on Top 40 radio shared “Young and Menace,” the first single off a new album called M A N I A, out Sept. 15.
Yes, M A N I A -- caps lock, odd spacing and all -- that’s how it’s officially styled, according to a press release from the band. It’s Fall Out Boy’s seventh studio album and it’s coming out on the band’s longtime labels, Island Records and DCD2 Records. It follows 2015’s American Beauty/American Psycho, which produced the Hot 100 hits “Centuries” and “Uma Thurman.”
On Twitter, bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz penned a lengthy, very Wentz-like abstract note on the LP:
“The gentle pull of a tide that rolls over and over again and by the sheer nature of its essence it becomes an indestructible will — ripping out sand — eroding what was before it — without a care… a transformational monster-becoming the madness and frenzy of a truly bulletproof wave. I’m not just here for your love, I’m here for all of the love. An overdose of dopamine- we are living inside of M A N I A right now. the never sleeping, never blinking- caught forever in the sunshine riptide.”
As a preview, the Chicago outfit has let loose lead single “Young and Menace”, which sounds like pop punk as reimagined by Skrillex (take that for what it is). Fall Out Boy have also revealed its fantastical music video, which was directed by SCANTRON and Mel Soria. “The concept is the idea of a movie like Elf, where he realizes maybe he isn’t an elf after all, but ours has less comedic elements and more real world implication,” explained Wentz.
