12 Most Divisive Rock Albums Of All Time
7. Save Rock And Roll - Fall Out Boy
Many emo fans around the world were absolutely gutted when Fall Out Boy announced they were going on hiatus. After many years of pop punk anthems and obnoxiously long song titles, the Fueled by Ramen brats had finally decided to pack it in. Once the 2010's were dawning though, the band slowly re-emerged with one of the most ambitious album titles in rock history.
In the grand scheme of things, Fall Out Boy didn't come remotely close to saving any genre with this album, but the record was still decent for what it was. While much of the record was a watered-down version of the rock music the band had already been making, songs like "The Phoenix" could still bring that stadium-sized musical fury to the forefront. Though many fans were calling the band sellouts, songs like the title track (featuring Elton John) are some of the most enduring musical moments the band had ever laid down in the studio.
However, the band's return to form left fans either standing by their emo saviors or casting them out as punk rock pariahs. This album was far from a disappointment, but when you have an album that you claim will save rock and roll, acceptable is far from good enough.
