Even though FOB's fifth studio album is coming out on Election
Day, fans shouldn't expect much political content. "It's the
musical equivalent of crashing your friend's company's Christmas
party, but on a mass scale," says bassist Pete Wentz. Folie a
Deux tones down the vocal bobbing and weaving and R&B
influence of 2007's Infinity on High, focusing on tight
rock songcraft. "I want to make pop art," says singer Patrick
Stump. Lead single "I Don't Care," which marries a John Lee
Hooker-style boogie with a massive glam hook, follows through on
that promise. Wentz is especially pumped to gain one new fan: "The
coolest thing is that this is the first record I'll get to play for
my kid."
