Time is a funny thing for Fall Out Boy. They released So Much (For) Stardust, a little over 20 years since the genre-defining (and often defying) Chicago band's inception. The publication is the company's first in five years, following up 2018's electropop-heavy Mania, which saw the company's biggest departure in sound yet. So much (For) Stardust is back to the Fallout Boy pop-punk playbook from decades ago, but Fall Out Boy is the first to tell you: this is not "Sugar, We're Goin Down." MTV News, bassist and songwriter Pete Wentz, as well as frontman Patrick Stump discuss the need to refute claims that this was not a throwback album from the start. Wentz says, "It was a preface more than anything." "It's like in the 'Thriller' music video where they're like, the occult isn't good!" Fall Out Boy may be reverting to a simpler version of themselves. The band resurfaced on their own website, Fueled By Ramen, and with the addition of producer Neal Avron — who co-created their breakout From Under the Cork Tree and sequels Infinity on High and Folie à Deux — fans were quick to assume that the band had accepted pop-punk roots. However, returning to a particular sound wasn't nearly as important as capturing the essence of albums past. And if there's one album to compare So Much (For) Stardust's spirit to that of 2008's divisive and experimental Folie à Deux, which featured collaborations with Lil Wayne and Debbie Harry.
