Fall Out Boy Releases ‘Young And Menace,’ Fans React On Twitter


Fall Out Boy started making music together in 2001. Since then, they’ve released six studio albums. Today, they announced their seventh, MANIA. The album release is set for September 15. You can listen to the first single, “Young and Menace,” which is accompanied by a music video.

The song makes mention of Nikki Sixx and has a quick nod to “Oops!… I Did It Again” by Britney Spears in there, too. The band posted the album artwork for MANIA in addition to the music video for “Young and Menace.”

If you were expecting the new music to sound a bit more like the older music from Fall Out Boy, it doesn’t. The beginning of “Young and Menace” shows off Patrick Stumps vocals and as it builds, you get some weirder vocals tossed in. You know when you speed up a song and it has that chipmunk sound to it? You’ll hear some of that in the song.

Fall Out Boy Fans React on Twitter

Many fans took to Twitter to react to the song. If you’re interested, you can go take a look for yourself just in case a few tweets aren’t enough for you.

One fan was so excited about the song that she made some Patrick Stump fan art.

Jack Fowler from Sleeping With Sirens showed the band some love for not being afraid to change their sound.

And another fan believes that Fall Out Boy saved 2017 with the new single.

Interview with Zane Lowe on Beats1

Earlier today, Pete Wentz and Patrick Stump sat down for a brief interview with Zane Lowe. It runs just under seven minutes, so it won’t take up too much of your time. They give a look into the process and talk about the color palette of their albums. They premiered the song with him before dropping the music video.

Not only did the band announce a new album, tour dates, and drop a song today, but it’s also Patrick Stump’s birthday. MANIA pre-orders are available on the band’s website. The pre-order bundles include a wide variety of items. Some bundles include socks, enamel lapel pins, and the big bundle includes a backpack. The album is available on CD or vinyl, as well as digitally.

The lead time for the album is considerable, so Fall Out Boy fans have a while to wait for this album. Based on their reactions on Twitter, many are up for the challenge. Again, MANIA will be available on September 15. In the meantime, give a listen to “Young and Menace” and let us know your thoughts on it in the comments.
