You never asked for it, but they’re doing it anyway: the group that launched a thousand emo fan blogs is back with its fifth studio album, out May 7. Promising to Save Rock and Roll with the record’s super-humble title, Fall Out Boy are back from their four-year “indefinite hiatus,” guyliner and all. Apparently, four years haven’t taught the Chicago group much in the way of subtlety (or brevity): the first single, available on iTunes, is called “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light ‘Em Up).” Mr. Ashlee Simpson Pete Wentz actually foreshadowed the reunion, which will be accompanied by a mini-tour, back in 2009, telling MTV News, “It’s weird because, if you look it up in the dictionary, ‘hiatus’ is a synonym for ‘a break.’ We’re on a break that doesn’t have a definite ending. There’s no ending date.” Well said, Pete. [via MTV News]
