Fall Out Boy‘s new album, Folie a Deux, is currently scheduled to go on sale on election day in America, Tuesday, November 4th.
The band is now having serious doubts about the ‘cutesy’ election day tie-in and hope that their label changes the release date.
Here’s the band’s explanation:
Six months ago we thought it would be a fun idea to release our album on election day but this is not the election to be cute. We felt as though rather than making a commentary we were only riding the wave of the election. This seemed less and less like what we intended to do and more of a gimmick. It is now in the hands of our label to give us a new release date… it is our intent to get our record out this year and as soon as possible — as we made sure to have it done in time for its original release.
Pete and crew has a good point!
The elections are a serious matter and hope your record label feels the same!
Good luck.
UPDATE: According to PeteWentz.com, there’s a new release date — December 16th!
