#I don’t consider my suitehearts stuff fob stuff

[horseshoemybeloved]

Oh also I finished this yesterday lol

[igarbagecannoteven]

how insane would it be for me to ask for all of the fob albums. anyway i'm not going to do that but i would like to know about folie a deux and lets throw a cheeky little youngblood in there too -hazel

ngl i'm a little grateful you didn't send in *all* the fob albums bc tbh i'm not that familiar with some of their really early stuff lol, but also i wouldn't have complained bc i really do need to listen to them properly. thanks for sending these in hazel ily and hope you're doing well :))

Folie a Deux:

the first song from this album I heard: perhaps surprisingly i’m pretty sure the first song i heard off this album was “disloyal order of water buffaloes” (i think i saw a lyric edit and was like *eyes emoji* what song is this sdkjfklsdjf)

do I own the album?: no, but as soon as i can convince myself it’s okay to spend money on things that spark joy that will change

my favorite song: i have been low-key obsessed with “headfirst slide” ever since i first heard it but i’m also more than a little in love with “west coast smoker” so they’re constantly dueling for first place (altho it’s an absolute brawl for second place so. there are a lot of bangers on this album)

my least favorite song: w.a.m.s. bc that outro is obscenely long. like, i like it conceptually on the album but please for the love of looping make it a separate track

a song I didn’t like at first, but now do: i think i was pretty lukewarm about “america’s suitehearts” at first but i now can happily say it’s a bop

a song I used to like, but now don’t: uhhhh idk if there any like that on this album? ig i used to be more obsessed with “disloyal order” back when i knew less fob songs but i still like it a heck ton

my favorite lyric: if i could come up a solid plot to use “got my degree in the gutter my heart broken/in the dorms of the ivy league” that would already be a fully active wip but alas i can’t think of anything that does justice for that *chef’s kiss* of a lyric. also the entirety of “headfirst” and “a caterpillar that got stuck” and “nobody wants to hear you sing about tragedy” and a bajillion others i’m currently blanking on

overall rating out of 10: 9/10 despite w.a.m.s. outro this album really does stick a lightning rod in my brain sometimes so i can’t give it any less

Youngblood:

the first song from this album I heard: according to my records it was lie to me, which makes sense considering i was introduced to 5sos by bella :)))

do I own the album?: yes!!! on cd!!! owning physical copies of music that aren’t took big to carry around my beloved <3

my favorite song: “why won’t you love me” has more power than any song has the right to and yet here we are. i will say that if it wasn’t so hhhhhhhhhhh then “more” & “moving along” would be battling for this spot instead

my least favorite song: listen. as a whole “empty wallets” is a banger with a delicious michael bridge, however. the chu-chunk sound at around 2:11 sounds like it was taken straight from “heathens” from twenty one pilots (or something similar) and for that reason i cannot listen to it without laughing a little. if that hadn’t been included who knows what the song might have been but we shall never know :notgroovydude:

a song I didn’t like at first, but now do: according to my admittedly-not-super-reliably-accurate records, the last song i “liked” on spotify from this album was “meet you there” so maybe it took me a while to warm to it? it’s a bop (altho admittedly not super high on my list) so who knows what past megs was thinking not me

a song I used to like, but now don’t: uhh idk i think there really isn’t a song off youngblood that *isn’t* an absolute banger (yes even you, “empty wallets”) but ig i’m a little less enamored with “lie to me” than i was before? i mean i still adore it just not quite as much as i did in the past

my favorite lyric: maybe it’s just because i want to do a mini(ish) series revolving around the 5sos tshirt lyics universe, but “found that old zepplin shirt/you wore when you ran away and no one could feel your hurt” (not that it relates to the shirt necessarily but imagine having that as happening on a timeline with invisible before it. just. oof.)  i know i’m forgetting something big here,, this isn’t it but i like the sentiment/phrasing of “all of my wrongs they led me right to you” 

overall rating out of 10: 9/10 not only does it have no skips but i think it’s very,,, tight? like all the songs feel/sound like they belong there if that makes sense. it’s not a perfect album by any means but it get much closer than most
