Fall Out Boy, when of the most original bands of the new millennium in my opinionWe're living in a golden age of long song titles, and Fall Out Boy are leading the way. In the olden days, rock stars used parentheses and slashes to prove they were serious artists, refusing to reduce their verbiage for radio DJs or jukeboxes. But in the MySpace era, bands have discovered commas, and as a result song titles have gotten longer than Meat Loaf ever dreamed possible. "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" is perhaps the ultimate Fall Out Boy statement -- in a rock world increasingly divided by niche loyalties, FOB use their comma as a crowbar to break through the boundaries, only to tell the crowd, "Bandwagon's full/Please find another."
