Fall Out Boy: Ranking Every Album From Worst To Best

8. Make America Psycho Again

It takes a lot to make a truly "bad" Fall Out Boy record, but the band nearly proved themselves capable of doing just that with this remix album. Though the simple fact that they narrowly avoided adding a real stinker to their discography further proves that Fall Out Boy are damn near bulletproof at this point.

It's not that the idea of a pop/rap crossover is a terrible one, it's just that this particular collection of remixes feels too lightweight and hamstrung by a lack of direction. Unlike say, the Linkin Park/Jay-Z Collision Course EP - which has a consistent theme and a solid through-line - Make America Psycho Again sounds like it's constantly chasing a thread that it never quite grasps onto.

More than a few tracks are made worse by slowed-down, sludgy production, zapping the original songs of their crispness and spunk. The Uzi remix of 'Novocaine', in particular, took a rave-ready song and brought down the tempo until its pulse was too faint to feel. 'Uma Thurman' also gets its main riff squished into oblivion - and let's face it, The Munsters homage is what makes that original song - resulting in a pretty plain dance track.

The CD is far from beyond redemption. Perhaps the most amazing feat this album pulled off is proving how Fall Out Boy's songs can really take a punch. It's no coincidence that even while the majority of these remixes are a marked deterioration from the originals, they're still pretty solid overall. That's the hallmark of quality songwriting.
