Det er fire år siden, de amerikanske teen-emo-helte i Fall Out Boy sidst lod høre fra sig. I mellemtiden har bandets medlemmer været involveret i sideprojekter som The Damned Things og Everytime I Die - og så er de blevet voksne. Men fans, som frygter tekster om tosomhed, tøfler og pensionsplaner, kan slå koldt vand i blodet. Det er business as usual for Illinois-bandet, hvis tekster om fremmedgørelse blandes med post-punk og iørefaldende omkvæd. Og så er der undervejs prominent besøg fra Big Sean, Courtney Love og Elton John, der næsten er ved at fjerne fokus fra bandets egne kvaliteter.

"There is nothing nearly as catchy as Dance, Dance or as adventurous as This Ain't A Scene, It's An Arms Race on the album, while the band also seem to lack the urgency that made them so successful in the first place. Save Rock And Roll is not only Fall Out Boy's softest album yet, it is also their least memorable".

"They're not traditionalists -- they're not about three chords and the truth, they're about misdirection and hiding their emotions, then letting it all spill out in one headstrong rush. In 2013, when so many bands are donning tweed caps and pining for a past that never existed, it's kind of fun to have a band tackle the modern world in all its mess as Fall Out Boy do here".
