Fallout Boy had originally planned to release their politically themed new record on election day, but now they want change. The band posted the following message on their blog, informing everyone about holding back the date.
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.
I may have rode the wave to the bank if I were them…
