Fall Out Boy have reflected upon their divisive 2018 album ‘MANIA’, saying that it represented an attempt to survive in a climate that they thought was becoming more hostile towards bands.Guitarist Joe Trohman previously said in his 2022 memoir None Of This Rocks that he wasn’t a huge fan of the album and subsequently didn’t really participate in its creation.When asked if this motivated the band’s return to their rock roots on new album ‘So Much For Stardust’ by Variety, bassist Pete Wentz said: “I feel like our thoughts on ‘MANIA’ were taken a little out of context.

William Earl Fall Out Boy is back with their first record in five years, and although the musical landscape has changed dramatically since the pandemic and the rise of TikTok, “So Much (for) Stardust” returns to the classic sound many fans grew up on.

The band is also headed on a world tour this year, playing for the first time without Trohman, who is taking a break from the band to focus on his mental health.
