I just had a bunch of my friends listen to the singles "This Ain't A Scene It's An Arms Race" and "The Carpal Tunnel Of Love" and 3 out of 5 of my friends hated it! They said that they are sounding too much like rap, or like Panic! At The Disco, when they obviously are just trying to get a new sound (and just because Pete Wentz at the MTV VMA's said that they were jealous of P!ATD doesn't mean that they would copy them) and get a wider variety of fans.
Do you like the old FOB or the new FOB better? Why?
I love both, I am a Fall Out Boy freak and I always will be.

I like them both, musicians and their music evolve i like seeing, or rather hearing, where they go and how they change.

The thing is not of LIKING the band or musicians, the point is that in one album you have their style which many of the fans are accustomed to be hearing and enjoying, so they like listening to that type of music and band/musician from there on, thus becoming a fan.
For example think of the band Evanescence, I, personally am a fan of their music and lyrics, liking how the songs can be as quite as a whisper or as loud as a concert, but if they decide that they need a style there's a fifty-fifty chance.
The fifty-fifty chance being that the fans could hate it, and lose interest in their music, and sales for the band and fame go crashing down to the ground. (Like how Britney Spears fans are going down on her for her new reckless "habits", Britney saying she was going to make a "hot come back") or the other part being they like it and continue to listen/ become more interested in the band and their music.
That is basically taking a leap for more popularity, sales of albums and cds, fans, and world fame.
Seeing as I just started to become a fan of Fall Out Boy, I don't know what their original style is like, meaning I'm a "new fan" who's attracted to the new sound.

A lot of people are starting to not like them as much because they think that they are selling out. I disagree. I happen to be lucky enough to be close friends with all four of the boys, and I think their new sound is just as awesome as their old sound. Different, yes, but still pretty freakin' awesome. I am definately FOBsessed and I don't intend to change anytime soon! =) Rock on!

They've moved on to the next indie rock "hit of the week" i.e. Panic. Next week it'll be some other fashionably attired lads. Stick to your guns and keep on digging what you dig!
Better yet look into what Fall Out Boy's members list as their influences and check that out.

Good for you - guess that's where "whay" comes from. They're just a VERY cliched, stereotypical and utterly non-original bunch with nothing to say or offer, and people clearly relize that, is all.
