It seems the band are running out of steam a bit, with this new single only entering the UK single charts at number 38 – the record label will not be happy. In all honesty this is not a bad single, it just doesn’t really have the drive that previous singles ‘Sugar We’re Goin’ Down’, and ‘Dance, Dance’ had. It is not as powerful as these tracks, and coupled with this the video I feel is not as good as the previous two were. These two factors will have led to it’s low chart entry, and the record label exclusives will be kicking themselves about the single that they have chosen to release which I feel is a bad decision on behalf of the label as there are far better tracks that they could have chosen to release.
On the live stage this track belts out of the sound system and is a powerful track, however I do not feel that this is reproduced on record, and while not a bad track – it is not Fall Out Boy at their finest and is not a fair representation of their fine talent to pen a fantastic pop song. Fall Out Boy have some great songs to their name, however this is not one of them and although it is not unpleasant to listen to, it has no real lasting impact, and is definitely not one of the album tracks that you will find stuck in your head for weeks.
