Fall Out Boy: The Boys of Zummer Tour, Live In Chicago

Chicago band Fall Out Boy performs a 17-song set in this 2015 hometown concert, drawing from several albums. The punk-pop band largely leans on the same tiresome formula of tunelessness, propulsion, and yelping vocals, although the hardcore punk influence isn't especially compelling. Still, the musicians—vocalist-guitarist Patrick Stump, bassist Pete Wentz, guitarist Joe Trohman, and drummer Andy Hurley—bring an infectious energy to the stage, bounding around in front of an impressive video wall that serves up colorful sensory overload. “Irresistible” features dark lyrics backed by a monotonous roar and Stumps's sputtering vocals, while “A Little Less Sixteen Candles, a Little More ‘Touch Me'” fails to live up to its clever title. The semi-acoustic “Immortals” briefly softens things a bit, while the novelty tune “Uma Thurman” offers temporary distraction with its nifty chorus and repeated sample from the theme for TV's The Munsters, and “Saturday” is a halfway decent rocker. Presented in DTS 5.1, Dolby Digital 5.1 and stereo on DVD, and DTS-HD 5.1 and LPCM stereo on Blu-ray, this will mainly appeal to fans. A strong optional purchase. (T. Keogh)
