Don't Forget to Enter our Latest Contest! PMA is giving away 6 Mixtape Flash Drives!
Leave it to Fall Out Boy to name their second single “Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown On A Bad Bet.” Folie A Deux (out November 4th), indeed. Maybe Folie a Quarte?
Either way, “Headfirst” is is relentlessly catchy — but if “I Don’t Care” didn’t catch on (it fell disgracefully out of iTune’s Top 40 less than a week after it was released — radio isn’t looking too hot either), I’m pretty sure “On A Bad Bet” won’t either.
Where are all the Fall Out Boy fans that helped put “Arms Race” at #1? Listen to the track after the jump!

I used to like Fall Out Boy quite a bit, but I don’t know how to feel about this new stuff. I mean, it’s not bad, but it’s not exactly great either.

I agree — it’s really different. Their older stuff (even Infinity On High) was a bit more approachable.

don’t get me wrong, i love fob and all their newer stuff. but for me, nothing will ever compare to “take this to your grave.” that was and still is amazing music.

Headfirst Slide into Cooperstown on a Bad Bet is pretty decent pop rock.

you guys must not be real fans of fob if you don’t support their new stuff give it a chance and try to hear the whole album before you say it sucks!

I like the new sound for the most part. This new track has a lot of potential, but the hooks that made the last two FOB albums so popular are masked here. Seems like the new stuff is skirting around the borders of glam rock…excited to hear a full record

i’m pretty sure that pete has always written all of the lyrics for the band. since “infinity on high”, all of their stuff has been unapproachable and overproduced. ah, how i miss the days of “take this to your grave” and “from under the cork tree”…

Since Infinity on High, FOB 2.0 is too shiny! I also miss take this to your grave and from under the cork tree…I still have a blasty blast listening to those albums.

I was not a Fall Out Boy fan before but On A Bad Bed and I Don’t Care are so much better than any of their other music, in my opinion.

Isaiah - Totally agree with you there. Yes, tttyg was a good album. But it is the past. Give the Fall Out Boy(s) — now men — a chance to grow and develop their sound. I personally am loving the new music, especially this song.

i still think from under a cork tree is the best
