Guilty Pleasure?

I like the new Fall Out Boy album. In fact, I'll go so far as to say I like most of Fall Out Boy's albums. Yeah, Pete Wentz is a spotlight whore whose lyrics can sometimes be as annoyingly narcissistic as his eyeliner, but Patrick Stump is the real talent. The dude has turned into a real-deal singer, and he has a seemingly endless supply of huge hooks in his head. (And a cameo from Elvis Costello on the eighth track makes up for blatantly stealing the guitar riff from "Teenage Wasteland" on the first track.)

I'll just say this: Folie a Deux is the best Island/Def Jam promo I've received in quite a while (I'm looking in your direction Kanye and Killers).
