Save Rock and Rollis the fifth studio album by AmericanrockbandFall Out Boy.It was produced byButch Walkerand released on April 12, 2013, throughIsland Records.On October 15, the album was re-released withPAX AM Days,anextended playthe band recorded shortly afterSave Rock and Roll's release.
Following the release of their previous albumFolie à Deux(2008) and multiple touring stints, the members of Fall Out Boy decided to take a break at the end of 2009. During the hiatus, each member of the group pursued individual musical interests. The band felt it necessary to "decompress" and refrained from referring to the hiatus as a "breakup", acknowledging a possible return in the future.[1]After several reformation attempts, the album was recorded in secrecy at Rubyred Recordings in Santa Monica, California, beginning in the fall of 2012. The album sessions were marked by a desire to reinvent the band's sound in a more modern form. The band brought in producer Butch Walker for a fresh approach, marking the group's first time without longtime producerNeal Avron.In the band's new form, each member of the quartet was involved in creating the compositions, although sessions were initially difficult as the band members struggled to reconnect.Save Rock and Rollfeatures guest vocals fromFoxes,Big Sean,Courtney Love,andElton John(who sings on the album's title track). The band filmedmusic videosfor every song on the album, which were compiled and released asThe Young Blood Chroniclesin 2014.
Save Rock and Rolldebuted at number one on the U.S.Billboard200with 154,000 first week sales, earning the band its second career number one. Its top 20 lead single, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)",has achieved triple-platinum certification in the U.S. and charted worldwide.Rolling Stonedescribed the band's comeback as a "rather stunning renaissance",[2]and the record received positive reviews upon its release, although most music critics were hesitant to refer to the album as solely a rock record. The group followed the record release with theSave Rock and Rollarena tour in promotion, with multiple European, US and Australian legs announced, as well as worldwide promotional shows, festival appearances and TV performances. In 2014, Fall Out Boy headlinedMonumentour,a US arena concert tour, together withParamorebefore releasing the first single "Centuries"from the band's next album,American Beauty/American Psycho(2015).
Background
[edit]In 2009, following two nationwide tours and the release of a greatest hits compilationBelievers Never Die – Greatest Hits,the members of Fall Out Boy decided to take a break. The band's decision stemmed from disillusionment with the music industry and the constant promotion of their fourth recordFolie à Deux.The band's, specifically bassist/lyricistPete Wentz,every movement had become fodder for gossip in tabloids, and lead vocalist/guitaristPatrick Stumprecalled that "We found ourselves running on fumes a little bit -- creatively and probably as people, too."[3]In addition, the constant touring schedule had become difficult for the band due to conflicting fan opinion regardingFolie à Deux:concertgoers would "boo the band for performing numbers from the record in concert", leading Stump to describe touring in support ofFolieas like "being the last act at the vaudeville show: We were rotten vegetable targets in Clandestine hoods."[4]"Some of us were miserable onstage," said guitaristJoe Trohman."Others were just drunk."[5]Stump realized the band was desperate to take a break; he sat the group down and explained that a hiatus was in order if the band wanted to continue in the future.[2]All involved felt the dynamic of the group had changed as personalities developed.[2]
Rumors and misquotes led to confusion as to what such a break truly meant; Wentz preferred to not refer to the break as a "hiatus", instead explaining that the band was just "decompressing".[1]Fall Out Boy played its last show atMadison Square Gardenon October 4, 2009. Near the end,Blink-182'sMark Hoppusshaved Wentz's head in a moveRolling Stonewould later describe as a "symbolic cleansing of the past, but also the beginning of a very dark chapter for the band."[2]By the time the break began, Stump was the heaviest he had ever been and loathed the band's image as an "emo"band.[6]DrummerAndy Hurley"went through the darkest depression [I've] ever felt. I looked at my calendar and it was just empty."[5]Wentz, who had been abusingXanaxandKlonopin,was divorced by his wifeAshlee Simpsonand returned to therapy.[5][7]Wentz recalled: "I'd basically gone from being the guy in Fall Out Boy to being the guy who, like, hangs out all day".[6]Previously known as the "overexposed, despised" leader of the band, Wentz "simply grew up", sharing custody of his son and embracing maturity: "There was a jump-cut in my life. I started thinking – like, being old would be cool."[6]
During the hiatus, the band members each pursued individual musical interests, which were met with "varying degrees of failure."[5]Stump was the only member of the quartet to take on a solo project while Fall Out Boy was on hiatus, recording debut albumSoul Punkentirely on his own: he wrote, produced, and played every instrument for all tracks on the record. In addition, he married his longtime girlfriend and lost over sixty pounds through portion control and exercise.[8][9]Stump blew through most of his savings putting together a large band to tour behindSoul Punk,but ticket sales were sparse and the album stalled commercially.[5]During a particularly dark moment in February 2012, Stump poured his heart out in a 1500-word blog entry called "We Liked You Better Fat: Confessions of a Pariah".[2][4]In the post, Stump lamented the harsh reception of the record and his status as a "has-been" at 27. Stump revealed that fans harassed him on his solo tour, hurling insults such as "We liked you better fat", and noted: "Whatever notoriety Fall Out Boy used to have prevents me from having the ability to start over from the bottom again."[10]Aside fromSoul Punkand personal developments, Stump moonlighted as a professional songwriter/producer, co-writing tracks withBruno MarsandAll Time Low,and pursued acting.[4]
Wentz formed electronic duoBlack Cardswith vocalist Bebe Rexha in July 2010. The project released one single before album delays led to Rexha's departure in 2011. Black Cards added Spencer Peterson to complete theUse Your DisillusionEP in 2012.[9]Wentz also completed writing a novel,Gray,that he had been working on for six years outside the band, and began hosting the reality tattoo competition showBest Ink.[11]Hurley ventured farther into rock during the hiatus, drumming with multiple bands over the three-year period. He continued to manage his record label, Fuck City, and drummed for bands Burning Empires and Enabler.[9]He also formed heavy metal outfitThe Damned Thingswith Trohman,Scott IanandRob CaggianoofAnthrax,andKeith BuckleyofEvery Time I Die.[9]Despite this, the members all remained cordial to one another, and Wentz was Stump's best man at his wedding.[12]The hiatus was, all things considered, beneficial for the group and its members, according to Hurley. "The hiatus helped them all kind of figure themselves out", he explained in 2013. "Especially Joe and Patrick, who were so young. And Pete is a million times better."[6]
Composition
[edit]Save Rock and Rollis apop rockalbum that includes elements ofcontemporary R&B.[13][14]"The Phoenix"was inspired bySovietRussian composerDmitri Shostakovichanddrum loops,both of which Stump was interested in at one point in the recording process.[15]While listening to the fourthmovement(Allegro non troppo) of Shostakovich'sSymphony No. 7,Stump became entranced by a certain string moment and proceeded to build an entirely new song influenced by it. The same orchestral snippet was employed as asampleby German hip-hop artistPeter Foxin his 2008 single "Alles neu"from the albumStadtaffe.[15]Save Rock and Rollhas been described to contain "pulsating disco grooves [and] stacked-harmony hair-metal singing."[16]The title track, "Save Rock and Roll", samples a vocal track of "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago", fromTake This to Your Grave.
Recording
[edit]It was starting at square one again. Where it's like, 'Hey, I guess we're a new band.' And it was fearless, because we didn't have anything to lose.
Patrick Stump on the band's pop-based reinvention[6]
The album's earliest origins lie in unsuccessful writing sessions between Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz. The two met up in early 2012 to write for the first time in nearly four years. Wentz reached out to Stump after he penned his letter, as he too felt he was in a dark place and needed a creative outlet.[2]He was at first reluctant to approach Stump, likening the phone call to reconnecting with a lover after years of acrimony.[6]Wentz told Stump "I know what you need – you need your band",[6]and said: "I think it's kind of weird that we haven't really seen each other this year. We paid for each others houses and you don't know my kid".[12]The duo recorded demos onGarageBandat Stump's personal home studio inHollywood Hills.[6]The result, "three or four" new songs, were shelved with near immediacy, with the two concluding that "it just wasn't right and didn't feel right."[17]
Several months later, the two reconvened and wrote tracks that they felt truly represented the band in a modern form. After writing "Where Did the Party Go", both musicians became excited as momentum continued to grow.[2]The band decided that if a comeback was in order, it must represent the band in its current form: "We didn't want to come back just to bask in the glory days and, like, and collect a few checks and pretend... and do our best 2003 impersonation", said Stump.[18]Afterwards, the quartet held an all-day secret meeting at their manager's home in New York City where they discussed ideas and the mechanics of getting together to record.[2][17]Trohman was the last to be contacted, through a three-hour phone call from Stump. As Trohman was arguably the most excited to begin other projects, he had a list of stipulations for rejoining the band. "If I'm not coming back to this band writing music […] then I don't want to", he remarked, and Stump disarmed him: "He said I needed to be writing more."[12]
Save Rock and Rollwas recorded primarily at Rubyred Recordings inSanta Monica, Californiafrom October 2012 to March 2013.[19]The band's main goal was to reinvent the sound of the group from scratch, creating what Trohman called a "reimagining of the band", which focuses more on pop.[6]Sessions were not without their difficulties, as the band struggled initially to produce new material. Walker had doubts about the band's volatility, feeling the record would not be made following "meltdown after meltdown".[6]When the band members learned thatElton Johnwas a fan of their music, they jokingly suggested that he might want to record with them. John complied, and Stump flew toAtlantalate in production, halting the mi xing process, to record with him. He was very positive regarding the album's direction: "He actually spoke up for the album's title. He came in and was like, 'Love the album title. Love where this is going. This is great'",said Stump.[20]
The entire album was recorded in secrecy from the music industry, critics, and fans of the band. Stump recalled: "There was a couple times there was paparazzi that got us outside and didn't put two and two together".[18]The decision to keep recording a secret was partially so that the group members had the option to not make the record if the sessions did not work out.[5]Keeping the secret was difficult, especially for a group so visible on social media; Hurley stayed away from Twitter, and all members got as far away from one another in public as possible.[2]Rumors began to swirl in late 2012 after a friend of the band tweeted that the band was in the process of recording new material, though each member of the band was quick to deny any chance of a reunion.[9]The band remained tight-lipped until the very end; when theChicago Tribuneasked Wentz a week prior to the announcement whether a Fall Out Boy reunion was happening, he replied: "It's not."[21]Plans nearly went sideways when Wentz went to dinner with rapper2 Chainzto discuss plans for the "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)" video.[17]Following the conversation, 2 Chainz posted toInstagrama photo of Wentz and himself with the caption "Fall Out Boyz feat. 2 Chainz?" To the members of Fall Out Boy's surprise and relief, fans of the band denied the possibility, finding the idea too absurd.[17]Stump recalls he wrote "somewhere near 25%" of the lyrics, the most since onTake This to Your Grave.[22]
Packaging
[edit]The title originated as a tongue-in-cheek remark after Wentz envisioned album reviews that would sarcastically state that the band "came back to save rock and roll." It was also partially inspired by the return of rock-based acts oncontemporary hit radio,such as the success of recentFunandGotyesingles.
The cover ofSave Rock and Rollfeatures a photograph of two young boys—one wearing traditionalBuddhist monkrobes, the other in jeans and a T-shirt (originally anAC/DCshirt from their albumBlack Ice,but airbrushed out forSave Rock and Rolldue to presumed legal issues), smoking a cigarette—taken by Roger Stonehouse inMyanmar.[23]The image was found early on in the production process, as the band scoured the Internet for inspirational images. The band members felt that the photo "really solidified what [they] were trying to get across on the record: The idea of old and new clashing. Tradition and change coming together".[23][24]
Promotion
[edit]While specifically denying that the announcement was a reunion because "[we] never broke up", the band announced a reunion tour and details ofSave Rock and Rollon February 4, 2013. The quartet's announcement included a photo of them, taken earlier that morning, huddled around a bonfire, tossing copies of the band's back catalog into the flames at the original location of 1979'sDisco Demolition Night.[25]The band performed an "intimate" show the same night atChicago's Subterranean, followed by two more club slots inNew York CityandLos Angelesthe same week. Stump playfully chided the hometown crowd at the Subterranean: "I told you we were gonna come back! Why didn't you believe me?"[21]
Save Rock and Rollwas originally slated for release on May 7, in order to coincide with the 10th anniversary of the band'sTake This to Your Gravealbum, but the date was pulled forward to April after the lead single and the band's comeback were met with commercial and critical success.[23]The album was posted in its entirety on the band's official website eight days prior to its release, as to avoid aleak.[17]
Singles
[edit]The record'slead single,"My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)",shot up to number two oniTuneswithin hours of its release.[5]It peaked at number 13 on theBillboardHot 100,marking the band's first top twenty single since the group's 2008 cover ofMichael Jackson's "Beat It".[26]"My Songs" would shortly sell 5 million downloads in the US to be certified 5× Platinum by the RIAA, and also peak at number five on theUK Singles Chart.[27]The band promoted the song with TV performances and in acoustic version at radio interviews.
Fall Out Boy announced on June 24 that the next single would be "The Phoenix"via the group's Facebook page.[28]It was released to Americanmodern rockradio on July 16.[29]
A month later, the band announced that "Alone Together"would be the album's third single, with a release topop radioset for August 6, 2013.[30]The single peaked at number 71 on theBillboardHot 100 and spent 8 weeks on the chart, and was certified Platinum by the RIAA.[31]
"Young Volcanoes"was later announced as the fourth single from the album.[32]It officially impacted radio in the United Kingdom on November 4, coinciding with the band's performance at theO2 Academy Islington,[32]and later peaked at number 64 on the UK Singles Chart.[33]
The Young Blood Chronicles
[edit]Inspired in part byDaft Punk'sInterstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem,the band released amusic videofor all eleven songs on the album in a series titledThe Young Blood Chroniclesbetween February 2013 and May 2014.[34]All eleven videos were shown as one continuous film on May 21, 2014, onPalladia.[35]
Save Rock and Roll Tour and Save Rock and Roll Arena Tour
[edit]As soon as Fall Out Boy came off of its hiatus, a tour supporting Save Rock and Roll was announced for the summer of 2013, in addition to the one-off comeback dates in selected cities. Fall Out Boy played in various small concert venues and clubs for this tour. On May 13, it was announced that Fall Out Boy would go on a Save Rock and Roll Arena Tour for the fall of 2013 with support fromPanic! at the DiscoandTwenty One Pilots.The band also played headlining concerts and festivals worldwide, including dates in Europe and Asia.

Save Rock and Rollhas received mostly positive reviews from music critics, making the band's reformation a critical success. AtMetacritic,a website which assigns a rating out of 100 from reviews by mainstream critics, it currently holds a rating of 75 based on 18 reviews, citing "generally favorable reviews".[37]Stephen Thomas ErlewineofAllMusiccommended the record's compositions as "ambitious, admirable, and sometimes thrilling, particularly because the group never fears to tread into treacherous waters, happy to blur the distinctions between pop and rock, mainstream and underground."[14]Kyle Ryan ofThe A.V. Clubcalled the record "the band's most personal album yet, a tribute to being passionate and young when time makes the former difficult and the latter impossible. It's an arena album that longs for small punk clubs."[39]Annie Zaleski ofAlternative Pressalso gave the album a positive review, calling it "a blast of an album", and stating:
It's also gutsy: No matter what direction Fall Out Boy went, people would be disappointed. So to release a collection of music that's a noticeable progression from their past albums—but one done entirely on their own terms—is brave.Save Rock and Rollmight not actually, well, save rock and roll—but it certainly has brought Fall Out Boy back from the brink.[38]
Dave Simpson ofThe Guardianwas positive in his description of the music on the album: "Each track fuses punk-pop, boyband production values and heart-style power-balladry to make a big enough noise to accompany fireworks in stadiums."[42]Kyle Anderson ofEntertainment WeeklydescribedSave Rock and Rollas a stairway to a new era for the band, writing: "There's not much psychological processing onSave Rock and Roll,but it does advance FOB's vision of an über-inclusive guitar-pop utopia. "[41]Rolling Stone's Simon Vozick-Levinson characterized the record as full of "over-the-top ambitions", summarizing by saying: "Does rock's future depend on this overheated nonsense? Of course not. But life is more fun with Fall Out Boy than without them."[45]AtUSA Today,Brian Mansfieldconcluded with "Fall Out Boy may not be rock and roll's saviors, but they make sure it's got a little life left."[46]
Johan Wippsson ofMelodicgave a more critical review, writing that "Fall Out Boy is not the band that will save rock and roll". He added that "like many other bands, they have added some more electronic elements, which makesSave Rock and Rolla bit too well produced and non-organic. "[47]Andy Baber ofmusicOMHcalled the album both the group's "softest" and the group's "least memorable."[48]AtThe Oakland Press,Gary Grafffound that the "11-song set has more in common with Rihanna than the Ramones, which will undoubtedly polarize those faithful".[49]
Commercial performance
[edit]Save Rock and Rolldebuted at number one on theBillboard200chart, with first week sales of 154,000 copies in the United States, according toNielsen SoundScan.[50]Fall Out Boy had been in a sales race with rapperKid Cudi,whoseIndicudwas released the same day and debuted at number two. Initially, industry sources had forecast both albums to sell around 150,000, butSave Rock and Rollpulled ahead by the end of the tracking week.[50]The arrival ofSave Rock and Rollposted the quartet's then-third biggest sales week, and earned the band its second career number one on the chart.[50]The album also debuted at number one onBillboard'sTop Rock Albums and Top Alternative Albums charts.[26]In its second week, it fell to number five on theBillboard200 with 36,000 sales, a 76% decline.[51]As of January 2015,Save Rock and Rollhas sold over 670,000 copies.[52]The week ending April 4, 2015 marked its 100th chart week at No. 95.
On theUK album chart,it debuted at number two with 24,809 copies.[53][54]It was later certified Gold by theBritish Phonographic Industryfor 100,000 copies shipped. On theCanadian Albums Chart,Save Rock and Rolldebuted at number one with 8,000 first week sales,[55][56]and later achieved Gold status for 40,000 shipments.

The band's chart success was best described as unexpected by music journalists.Rolling Stonecalled the band's comeback a "rather stunning renaissance",[2]andEntertainment Weeklycalled the number one a "major accomplishment for a band whom many in the industry had dismissed as kings of a genre whose time had passed."[15]
