US, November 17, 2009 - Yes, Fall Out Boy have been around long enough,
at least in the eyes of their label, to have a greatest hits. And while Believers
Never Die: Greatest Hits is really just a compilation of the emo band's singles,
a couple of new tracks may be enough to draw the attention of diehard fans.

"From Now On We Are Enemies" and "Alpha Dog" are the sole new material
contributed to the release. They're solid, but not really on par with the band's
legitimately great hits.

Interestingly (or not), the tracks are arranged here in chronological order.
But tracing the musical evolution of Fall Out Boy reveals their weaknesses as
much as it does their strengths. When listened to in order of release, it
quickly becomes evident how much the group has improved with maturity.

The band have always been good at turning a clever phrase, but musically
they've amped it up a notch in the past several years. A song like "Saturday,"
for instance, just cannot compete with latter hits like "What a Catch, Donnie."

If we were creating our own Fall Out Boy compliation, we'd have favored
some of the band's better non-single tracks over something like "I'm Like a
Lawyer... (Me & You)." Furthermore, we'd simply have waited for the band,
who are obviously still growing as artists, to accumulate a more varied
assortment of tracks.

All this makes it difficult to place a rating on Believers Never Die. Fall Out
Boy's songs are just as good as they ever were. But is this the right time, and
are these the right songs, for a legit greatest hits release? We're not so sure.
Apart from a pinch of new material, this just seems like another double-dip.
