Fall Out Boy Folie … Deux

3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[T]heir most exuberantly cheeky release yet. It's also their most rock-star-ish....Stump is emerging as one of the world's most unlikely blue-eyed-soul stars..."
3.5 stars out of 5 -- "[W]hile the gleaming power chords of 'America's Suitehearts' are predictably pogotastic, their left-field forays into disco rockabilly and, yes, soulful balladry are much more impressive."
"FOLIE kicks off smartly with the near-perfect radio valentine 'Disloyal Order of Water Buffaloes,' a towering guitar anthem built on wedding-march organs, thundering drums, and singer Patrick Stump's limber vocals." -- Grade: B
Billboard (p.39) - "FOLIE is easily the group's most adventurous outing yet, with assured forays into blue-eyed soul, arena-ready glam and '80s-style electro."
3 stars out of 5 -- "[B]assist Pete Wentz's lyrics essay adolescent angst with a gift for sardonic double-edged wordplay, leavening the drama with dark wit."
4 stars out of 5 -- "The unlikely highlight is the piano ballad, 'What a Catch, Donnie,' where Stump shows off his R&B vocal chops on some of Wentz's most over-the-top lyrics."
