Four months after a viral preview was released, Jan. 20 saw the release of Fall Out Boy’s latest album, “American Beauty/American Psycho.”

And everything was beautiful.

It didn’t matter that it was a Monday. It didn’t matter I had homework due and upcoming biology tests.

“Centuries,” the song released in the preview, contains some backing vocals from Suzanne Vega’s “Tom’s Diner” re-recorded by the artist Lolo, and it is honestly one of the most beautiful sounds to grace my ears in the last year. Angels sang. My eyes watered, slightly.

The vocals are flawless, the lyrics gorgeous, and it is honestly one of the few songs that can get me pumped enough to power through my math homework.

With “Centuries” as a preview, I had high hopes, and Fall Out Boy lived up to expectations.

The album starts with “Irresistible”, which is just that: irresistible. It kicks off the album with brass instruments and smooths into drums and slick lyrics examining a toxic romance, inspired by that of Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen. “Irresistible” gives the album a blend of hard rock and electronica.

The titular track that follows is probably the weakest track on the album. Still, the song is catchy and begs to be played at full volume while you’re alone in your house.

“Centuries” follows after, and I think my raving above lets you all know how perfect this track is. It glides into “The Kids Aren’t Alright,” a much slower and not-quite-as-loud track that contrasts with the other song’s hard lyrics and blaring sound. “The Kids Aren’t Alright” is smooth and borderline retrospective, and probably good to listen to when you’re tired and it’s raining.

If you saw “Big Hero 6,” you might have heard “Immortals,” which is  ridiculously clever and earnest (“I’m still comparing your past to my future/It might be your wound but they’re my sutures” sticks out). The album closes with “Twin Skeletons (Hotel in NYC)” which is one of those songs that you can’t describe because any explanation would be inadequate.

Fall Out Boy’s newest manages to be reflective but not nostalgic: “American Beauty/American Psycho” is the most contemporary album they’ve put out. The album retains something uniquely Fall Out Boy, with pop culture references by the dozen and quips that leave you humming for the rest of the day.
