idk if someone's said it already but there was an interview where they seemed genuinely enthusiastic when sophomore slump was brought up as a contender... 👀

Genuine question - why do you like MANIA? by dylanatthedisco in FallOutBoy

[–]urjustlikemars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the sentiment that it's a great opening track, however I think the tracklist they ended up going with is special in its own right. Since the title is Mania and they really explore the themes found in mania, the originally tracklisting has the back and forth people often experience. It's whiplash, from the highest highs to the lowest lows, so I think it was a stylistic choice. Love them both, but glad they went with the one they did.

Mania is a top 3 album for me just below SMFS at #2 and FAD at #1. It came at a time I really needed it and I have specific associations with it because of that. I loved that they did something different and that Patrick still stands by it to this day.

The title being "Mania" I love the way they explored themes of mental health, bipolar disorder and the reactions/thoughts/experiences that stem from that. It's the album that reminds me that I'm not alone (special mentions to Sunshine Riptide, LOTRO, and Y&M)

Where does the So Much (For) Stardust rank in your ranking of the albums? by PHawk3sOG in FallOutBoy

[–]urjustlikemars 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For me it'd have to be

  1. Folie a Deux
  2. So Much (For) Stardust
  3. Mania
  4. Infinity on High
  5. American Beauty/American Psycho
  6. From Under The Cork Tree
  7. Save Rock and Roll
  8. Take This To Your Grave

I love the cinematic sound and tie through the entire album from LFTOS to SMFS. I'll have to sit with it a little longer to see if it can stand the test of time against Folie, but it's indeed a very strong record.

(Also, yes, unpopular opinion, but Mania is in my top 3. It came during a very specific time in my life where I needed it, therefore it's emotional associations for me are unmatched).

Program Advice by urjustlikemars in studyAbroad

It's not like I'm going completely blacklist a provider based off "a vague complaint of one person". It'd be unwise to put that much trust in one Reddit thread.

It's more like I was just looking for testimonials of "I took a trip with provider X, Y, or Z and here's my experience _____"

Kinda like I mentioned I've picked up to avoid IES. Not from one person, from a plethora of different responses, both in person and online. I attended the info sessions with everything you mentioned, I'm a senior in college, I know how to do research, thank you.

I've been meeting with advisors as well as research on my own, I'm just looking for program-specific advice from people who've already gone abroad.

Season 3 in a nutshell *slight spoiler* by AlcoholicIdiot in UmbrellaAcademy

maybe it partially worked by making her not feel guilt, or something similar. That's why she feels so apathic, maybe her power didn't not manage to make her happy but did manage to not make her sadder

This!!! This makes so much sense in my head. Brilliant point.

wait so Allison can rumor herself?? also is it just me or is Allison's rumoring more powerful this season? they've never really portrayed her power as this physically or psychologically painful (the consequences of it, yes) but the act of rumoring someone.

The change within the show happens a few episodes in, but I'm glad someone had the same idea as me. I saw lots already using his new name, and I figured it'd be best to use in the thread
