When a band sells a hundred trillion albums you might think.."wow! those guys are really good!"

The truth is, their marketing and the people promoting them are good. I've heard just about every band, in every genre, and in every talent level. I'd like to think that I have a pretty good ear for music and that I can recognize talent when I hear it. But, the reality is, its only my opinion. Everyone has one, and, nobody is right or wrong.

My "opinion" of Fallout Boy is: They are average musicians that play a bunch of repetitive power chords over and over, keeping a similar beat with very predictable fills. Its as if they know they are very marketable and refuse to put in any real effort to produce something original.

Music, in any form, is a wonderful thing. I just think that more talented, but less marketable, bands get the short end of the stick in the music industry. Oh well, just be sure you do one thing and you do it well.......ROCK ON!!!
