Still Relevant?

Are Fall Out Boy still relevant? I mean sure Pete Wentz just had a baby with Ashlee "flat line-career" Simpson, but other than landing in the gossip mags, what have they actually done lately?

After a career that boomed after the release of their third album "From Under the Cork Tree " in 2005, they seemed to become one of the best new acts out there! Their Pop/Punk/Rock sound was very in and saw them as one of the hottest acts to love! They followed up with "Infinity on High" in 2007, and peaked with their monster hit "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race", along the way defining what was rock in 2007! But since then they have seemed to go down hill. The singles following "This Ain't a Scene..." didn't not live up to the hype, and after an extended break from the charts, their career seemed to flat line!

With their fifth album "Folie à Deux." (set for release December 16th), will it be enough to put them back in the spotlight? I'm not so sure. After hearing some of their new tracks, they seem a little lost! The first single off the album "I Don't Care" just popped up on the radio, and was pleasing enough, but didn't have that punch of it's predecessors. Even they knew it with the rushing of second single "What a Catch, Donnie". They just seem to disinterested in what they are doing, and it seems like this is one band heading for certain obscurity.

Still Relevant? Maybe.
