WHAT A CATCH...NOT!!

So I found the actual video from the Jimmy Fallon show of Fall Out Boy playing their latest single, "What a Catch, Donnie", only to be let down. A lot. The performance isn't is great as it could be. Patrick Stump's voice is kind of weak, the band makes no effort to support him with back-up vocals, and half the band seems to be falling asleep on the stage. To make matters worse they cut out the heart-lifting medley at the end of the song. I expect more from you Fall Out Boy.

There's talk they might be splitting up soon. That's honestly not surprising in the least bit given the nature of the album and this song in particular. They don't seem hate each other, just to be drifting apart. I can see bassist/lyricist Pete Wentz focusing more on his production projects on his label Decaydance, and settling down with his wife. Stump could easily have a very successful solo career, and the other two will do a great job waiting for a reunion. I can remember a certain other mega-hug pop-punk group that dissolved after their best and most ambitious album as well.

Oh well, here it is anyway.
