Emo Boys vs Emo Scene

Setelah From Under The Cork Tree yang supersukses, mereka ngga butuh waktu lama untuk nyiapin materi baru. Coba lo dengerin lagu baru mereka dari album yang akan datang:
Fall Out Boy - This Ain't A Scene (It's An Arms Race)
Sebuah lagu yang, ironisnya, liriknya bercerita tentang kegerahan mereka tentang emo scene jaman sekarang. Lengkapnya dikutip dari wawancara Pete Wentz di RollingStone.com :
As promised, the album's first single, "It Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race," is a big departure from the band's previous work: Verses are driven by a thumping dance beat that sounds like nothing in FOB's catalog, complete with a sampled kick drum. The chorus shifts into a more typical punk-rock double time, and the song ends with a choir’s worth of voices singing the insistent, Gary Glitter-style hook.The lyrics, which include the line "Bandwagon's gone, please find another," express Wentz's frustration at being king of the ever-growing emo scene. "There may be other songs on the record that would be bigger radio hits, but this one had the right message," says Wentz, adding that the song-closing sing-along was inspired by Justin Timberlake's "Senorita."
Ya udah dijelasin semua lah di atas kayak gimana single baru ini. Dan menurut gue yah, harus diakui, lumayan bagus. Bukan pengulangan dari apa yang lagi laku di pasar dan inovatif, yah inovatif dalam batasan emo/punk ya.
Album baru mereka Infinity On High beredar Februari taun depan. Tentukan sendiri lah elo bagian dari scene yang diinginkan sama Pete Wentz atau bukan.
