The original by Billy Joel has different verses. He originally wrote it as a song to cover the events he had lived through in his life so the original song covered big news worthy stories of Billy Joel's life up until the point of writing the song. (1989) So this Fall Out Boy is the same beat and chorus but the verses are updated to big news worthy events that have happened since the original came out. So 1989 - 2023

Billy Joel also sang the events in chronological order.

Agreed. Patrick Stump has an amazing voice, absolutely carries Fall Out Boy

Angela Gonzales, I think her name is, made a historic image compilation for this version on KZfaq. Its amazing work!

The only sad thing is the original Billy Joel song was in chronological order, whereas the Fall Out Boy song is just a smattering together of major events within a given time period. Still super cool, and a definitely difficult thing to do especially when it comes to producing a cohesive, well thought out, and good sounding song that could live up to the original.

The chaotic order was the point. It's complete chaos bc the past 30 years have been chaos.

Except even Billy Joels wasn't in perfect chronological order, granted it was far more in order than FoB's version but it definitely wasn't 100% in chronological order

If I had to pick one voice to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be Patrick Stump’s. I can’t believe you were reviewing something without listening to the original. Which came out in 1989 (incidentally, the year I graduated high school). Someone else mentioned the lack of chronological order & that’s my main issue. The staccato delivery of “Michael Jackson dies” is off putting, ‘Serena’ doesn’t rhyme with anything, and “Robert Downey Jr. Iron Man” has an impressive flow even though it’s a weird line. I can imagine them sitting around spitballing, trying to figure out what to include, how to pace it, how to order everything so it rhymes. Sounds like a fun project I would spend a couple of days compulsively gathering shit for & then I’d abruptly get bored & never go back to it. I can’t sing for shit anyway 😂 I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts after listening to the original (fuck Piano Man; this is Billy Joel’s best song.)
