The title of Fall Out Boy’s fifth album, Folie à Deux (out December 16th), is a psychiatric term that translates to “the shared madness of two.” “When two people with independent neuroses come together, they can become exponentially crazier,” explains the band’s 24-year-old singer and guitarist, Patrick Stump. “A whole new type of crazy.” Over the disc’s 13 tracks of intricate, punk-infused pop, the emo superstars explore themes of adultery, materialism and vanity, and how stardom can make people go completely mad. “It’s about the way pop culture pumps up our desire for useless crap,” says Stump. “It’s our first real statement.”
