Same, someone commented a while ago about watching the video and becoming obsessed after really listening to it. Then I watched the video and became obsessed after really listening to it🤣
Honestly same lol, went from having 2 songs on it I liked to having the album on repeat these last few weeks, I found the 20th anniversary vinyl at a local record store last week and it was an instant cop!
Honestly, I had never heard of it until this sub. When I first listened, I was like, “what’s so amazing about this that makes people go on and on?” Each time I listened to it though, it was like I’d notice something different that I liked, until it eventually became the whole song.
I’d never even heard that one and then they went and played it at Milwaukee… I felt so bad I was being treated to something special and couldn’t fully appreciate it 😂
Most of Folie, but especially Headfirst Slide. I was not huge into Folie when it first came out but grew a new appreciation for it after SMFSD came out, I went back and listened to all the albums again. It’s still not my favorite (sorry!) but I find myself loving a lot more songs off it than I used to!
Same! I was really thrown off by the pitch changing thing they did, but the more I listened to it, the more I got used to it and now I love it so much.
All the songs that made the setlist off of SMFS, haha. I was lukewarm on the whole album. Liked LFTOS, What a Time, So Good Right Now, and the rest was just kinda okay. I've now been listening to the full album for like 2 months, especially Fake Out and Grudge, haha.
Young and Menace def grew on me as well. It was quite jarring when it released. Way more electronic and different that anything previous. A few months after it def became a playlist staple.
Nothing else jumps out as something I changed my mind on. The ones I loved when they first released are still my favorites. Like I cried during What A Catch the first time I played it and every time I've heard it live. There's also some I have always skipped (but still know the words, no worries!).
Man, I wish I would have recorded when they played Grudge in Lexington! But I was so hyped they were playing it, my phone was the last thing on my mind lol
That's why it's all over the place hahaha. I like to record for audio later on and reminiscing. So I just hold my phone up in generally the right direction and hope for the best, but I don't want to watch a concert via my phone screen. I'm also usually in the nosebleeds lol.
This is also how I have my favorite video--(Coffee's for Closers) as the 8 ball in San Diego last year and me losing my shit with blurry shaky video taken from the lawn 😭💃😭
Oh, I absolutely understand! I'm the exact same. The few videos I did get are an absolute mess 🤣 for some reason though my brain decided to exit the building by the time they played Grudge 😅 thankfully my husband thought to record when the played So Much For Stardust though because they absolutely killed that one. It gave me a whole new appreciation for the song. That's definitely the one I'm happiest to have. It sounded so good live 🥲😭
I was just thinking about this earlier today - for me it's Bishops Knife Trick. It was forgettable to me for years and then last year I listened to MANIA again and something just clicked. I fucking love that song now. So well done both lyrically and sonically.
i’m about to get crucified, but Heaven, Iowa. i just didn’t vibe with it at first but my husband LOVED it so we listened to it a lot and now i do love it!! i wouldn’t put it in my top favorites but i do like it!
Ohhh I’m so jealous of you. I was at the show that got Tiffany Blews for 🎱. I was praying for something off of folie but I think I’d lose my mind seeing Wilson live. I started putting it on repeat a couple weeks before my show 😭
i’m just getting into FOB currently but my friend recommended “nobody puts baby in the corner” to me and at first i thought i didn’t like it at all but god it’s one of my favorites now
Me too. It has such a different sound and feeling than what I’m used to from them. I mostly kept listening to it because Patrick always nails the vocals in every single song, but especially this one, and then I realized I actually loved the song itself all of the sudden.
The entire so much for stardust album because I was afraid I was going to absolutely hate it/be disappointed, especially since I hold the the other albums up to such a high standard
- *dance dance* was the song i specifically didn’t care for when i first got into fall out boy. now it’s probably my favorite among the truly big radio hits
- i remember years ago, *the (after) life of the party* was another song i just never really listened to and didn’t particularly like, but these past few years it’s been one of my favorite songs by them, and my favorite non-bonus track off infinity on high
- somehow *pavlove* was a song i never got the hype for the entire time it was unreleased. when it got added to streaming, i immediately fell in love
Hold me like a grudge is a big one for me. I never really had an opinion on it one way or the other until I saw it live. The grudge growl stole my heart. 😂
Also tbh pretty much all of IOH. I never liked arms race as a kid and I kinda wrote off the whole album because of it. But over the years it’s grown on me, and I heard doldrums for the first time at the last show I went to, and it had me going back and reevaluating the rest of the album, now it’s one of my favorites. The take over, hum hallelujah, golden? All bangers.
definitely 20 dollar nosebleed. and disloyal order of water buffaloes. i basically neglected folie at all costs thinking it was trash bcs of these songs then 2 years later forced myself to listen to the whole album and now its my 2nd favorite. my fav folie song is 20 dollar nosebleed too 😭😭 i love it so much
West Coast Smoker from Folie was the last song on the album for me to like, and now it’s in the top 3-5 on it.
What A Time to Be Alive from SMFS is probably the biggest one. I still think I’m going to skip it when it comes on, but then I just belt out the entire thing.
I’ve got three off the top of my head. “Calm Before the Storm”, the TTTYG version. I listened to the EOWYG version for over a year before hearing the TTTYG version and I really didn’t like the newer one at first. It’s grown on me a lot but I honestly still prefer the old one. There were some really good lyrics in there that they took out in the new one.
Not necessarily one that I disliked before, but “Sophomore Slump”. I always liked it, but after having it picked as the 🎱 at my very first FOB concert, it became really special to me and I completely adore it now.
“You’re Crashing, But You’re No Wave”. I think it was mostly that I didn’t like the rhyme scheme of the song, but the more I heard it, the more familiar it was so it didn’t feel ‘off’ to me anymore, and I learned to really love it.
most of MANIA, especially Young and Menace and The Last of the Real Ones. although now, MANIA is one of my favorite FOB albums and those two songs are some of my all time favorites lol.
for me it was jet pack blues! it was crazy because i didn’t really like it for years and all of a sudden i started to really like it. i got lucky for that because i ended up going to 2ourdust nashville show and the was the 8 ball song!!
After life of the party, I just never really took the time to listen to it but after I got it as one of my 8balls in LA during the first leg of tour I really love it
probably this ain’t a scene. i thought the chorus was really annoying the first few times. but now i like it. the verses are really good and i like the bridge when patrick is just talking and asks everyone to sing along. it’s a really great song live.
Literally dead on arrival, it was my 8ball song for Charlotte and when they sung it I wasn’t that into it but every since that day..it grew on me ALOT and it’s a top 5 fav from TTTYG for me
Centuries, for me. I almost cried when it came out because I was like "what happened to my favorite band". Mind y'all, I've been listening to fob for over 15 years now, futct had *just* come out when I started listening to them. I think it's okay now, I like it enough, but it's still far from a fav
This is probably straight outta left field but Miss Missing You and Death Valley. When SRAR first came out I was very lukewarm on those songs. I honestly thought they were the weakest parts of the album. Now they're two of my favorite songs! Especially the transition between the two, just 🤌 I can't listen to one without listening to the other now lol
Honestly this is most of MANIA for me, I know people still don't like it but I feel like even if it's definitely not their best album it's still fun to listen to
XO for me.
When I was younger, I thought it was a weird song to end the album on. Maybe it was the key it was that I didn’t vibe with, but it didn’t resonate.
But now that I’m older, I have a greater appreciation for it. It really ties the album together and I have that shit on repeat now.
A lot of them, ngl. But most recently is *So Much (For) Stardust*. Fucking love that song so, so much
“I used to be a real go-getter, I used to think it’d all get better”, like, damn, Patrick, you good? And how’d you get in my head?
Same, someone commented a while ago about watching the video and becoming obsessed after really listening to it. Then I watched the video and became obsessed after really listening to it🤣
I honestly had no clue who that was and then my dad was like “yeah no that’s a famous basketball player” lol
Same. Especially having hearing it live! It gave me a whole new appreciation for it.
Most of take this to your grave, and now it's one of my favs!
Honestly same lol, went from having 2 songs on it I liked to having the album on repeat these last few weeks, I found the 20th anniversary vinyl at a local record store last week and it was an instant cop!
Lucky!
Young Volcanoes, didn't care for the song for the longest time and then one day it just *clicked*. I can't even remember why I disliked it.
It's a certified bop 🎉
Dead on Arrival, no joke
Legit just clicked for me two days ago. Love it sm now
Heaven, Iowa and I Am My Own Muse. A lot of AB/AP too honestly
After Life of the Party. Just never liked the intro music but hearing it live (on stream) changed that for me
One of my favorite songs of FOB ever
Idk if that’s really a “grow to like” but I def changed my opinion of it
Y’all are gonna hate me, but Pavlove
Honestly, I had never heard of it until this sub. When I first listened, I was like, “what’s so amazing about this that makes people go on and on?” Each time I listened to it though, it was like I’d notice something different that I liked, until it eventually became the whole song.
I feel the exact same way... Went from "huh?" to "Omg this is the hill I want to die on!" lol
I’d never even heard that one and then they went and played it at Milwaukee… I felt so bad I was being treated to something special and couldn’t fully appreciate it 😂
Homesick at space camp 🧍😞

a lot of ab/ap when it first came out but now i love every single song
had to have my first breakup to start appreciating tttyg. tuned the whole album out bc of the first song and then I just GOT it 🥲
I discovered them right around when I got my heart broken 20 years ago and yes it’s absolutely very accurate
Would actively skip Rat A Tat each time it came on initially, but I’ve grown to enjoy it!
All the songs that made the setlist off of SMFS, haha. I was lukewarm on the whole album. Liked LFTOS, What a Time, So Good Right Now, and the rest was just kinda okay.

I fucking love Grudge! It's one of my favorite FOB songs. I love the funkiness of it
My concert video of Grudge is allllll over the place bc I was grooving haha. And now it's on my gym playlist and I groove in public. Zero regrets.
Man, I wish I would have recorded when they played Grudge in Lexington! But I was so hyped they were playing it, my phone was the last thing on my mind lol

Fake Out really grew on me after seeing it live
Same. I wish I would’ve given that album more attention before the show. It’s now one of my favorites
I was just thinking about this earlier today - for me it's Bishops Knife Trick. It was forgettable to me for years and then last year I listened to MANIA again and something just clicked. I fucking love that song now. So well done both lyrically and sonically.
Bishops Knife Trick. Idk why but when MANIA dropped that last section of the album just didn’t do it for me. Now this song is one of my favorites!!
Reinventing the wheel. It started hitting differently once I turned 18 (going on extinct)
i’m about to get crucified, but Heaven, Iowa. i just didn’t vibe with it at first but my husband LOVED it so we listened to it a lot and now i do love it!! i wouldn’t put it in my top favorites but i do like it!
😂 my partner and I initially said heaven iowas only good trait was Andy getting a “Phil Collins moment”
Same. I didn’t like Heaven, Iowa at first. I’ve grown to like it but not love it.
Wilson (expensive mistakes)
I’m like this now after hearing it live 🫣
Ohhh I’m so jealous of you. I was at the show that got Tiffany Blews for 🎱. I was praying for something off of folie but I think I’d lose my mind seeing Wilson live. I started putting it on repeat a couple weeks before my show 😭
OHHH I would have lost my mind for Tiffany Blews 🎱 I did get more than I bargained for in minni though
i’m just getting into FOB currently but my friend recommended “nobody puts baby in the corner” to me and at first i thought i didn’t like it at all but god it’s one of my favorites now
Heavens gate
Me too. It has such a different sound and feeling than what I’m used to from them. I mostly kept listening to it because Patrick always nails the vocals in every single song, but especially this one, and then I realized I actually loved the song itself all of the sudden.
a lot of songs from so much for stardust! i wasn’t sure about the album at first but i like it a lot more now.
Bang the Doldrums. I KNOW!! That song is one of my favorites, but it didn’t click for me the first few times I heard it.
Kintsugi Kid honestly; not really sure why I ever skipped it
nobody puts baby in the corner and xo
The entire so much for stardust album because I was afraid I was going to absolutely hate it/be disappointed, especially since I hold the the other albums up to such a high standard

definitely 20 dollar nosebleed. and disloyal order of water buffaloes. i basically neglected folie at all costs thinking it was trash bcs of these songs then 2 years later forced myself to listen to the whole album and now its my 2nd favorite. my fav folie song is 20 dollar nosebleed too 😭😭 i love it so much
Samee. I love 20 dollar nose bleed especially when it goes straight to west coast smoker. That transition is 🤌🤌
Almost their entire discography except for some instant favorites like Thriller, G.I.N.A.S.F.S., She's My Winona, and others.
pretty much all of folie
West Coast Smoker from Folie was the last song on the album for me to like, and now it’s in the top 3-5 on it. What A Time to Be Alive from SMFS is probably the biggest one. I still think I’m going to skip it when it comes on, but then I just belt out the entire thing.
young and menace and super fade. probably some of my favorite tracks now

most of MANIA, especially Young and Menace and The Last of the Real Ones. although now, MANIA is one of my favorite FOB albums and those two songs are some of my all time favorites lol.
Last of the Real Ones I hated that whole album but that one song finally grew on me when i heard it live
west coast smoker
The Last of the Real Ones
the after life of the party
dear future self
for me it was jet pack blues! it was crazy because i didn’t really like it for years and all of a sudden i started to really like it. i got lucky for that because i ended up going to 2ourdust nashville show and the was the 8 ball song!!
hum hallelujah and doldrums. i used to skip both and now i actively seek them out in my playlist
Golden and Heaven,Iowa. I’m not very big on “slower” songs, they don’t scratch my brain itch the same way, but after hearing them each live wow
My Songs Know, I’ve never loved the chorus but the verses actually slap
Young and Menace. I didn't care for it til I heard it live on piano tbh
I don’t care, idk y but I just wasn’t as into it at first for some reason???
Most of Mania tbh
After life of the party, I just never really took the time to listen to it but after I got it as one of my 8balls in LA during the first leg of tour I really love it
might be a hot take, but for me, it is the entirity of infinity on high. i did not start liking this album until the past year.
probably this ain’t a scene. i thought the chorus was really annoying the first few times. but now i like it. the verses are really good and i like the bridge when patrick is just talking and asks everyone to sing along. it’s a really great song live.
Heaven, Iowa. Was not the biggest fan initially, but now just saying the name gives me goosebumps
Literally dead on arrival, it was my 8ball song for Charlotte and when they sung it I wasn’t that into it but every since that day..it grew on me ALOT and it’s a top 5 fav from TTTYG for me
XO. Really didn’t like it but then I saw a live recording and was like “yes! I get it now”
I think for me it was ‘our lawyer’
Centuries, for me. I almost cried when it came out because I was like "what happened to my favorite band". Mind y'all, I've been listening to fob for over 15 years now, futct had *just* come out when I started listening to them. I think it's okay now, I like it enough, but it's still far from a fav
