I apologize for picking an album that more than two people on the planet have actually bought, instead of MC Funky Top Drawer and The Monkeying Melvin's Primate Panderers or whatever it is people would rather see me pick. I like music that sounds good, has interesting time-changes, and doesn't require a degree in interstellar space travel in order to listen to it. Shoot me, imo.

Maybe I'll dedicate the rest of my picks to selecting the most chalk-boardingly grating albums I can find. Pee Wee Herman, Britney Spears, Nickelback... I'm looking at you!
I actually don't mind Fallout Boy. Not my cup of tea. I think it just angers me that the label "emo" is thrown around for everything now a days when it used to define a very unique genre of which Fallout Boy is not part of. I appreciate the ability to write pop music well.
