Fall Out Boy's New Record A Fresh Start Says Pete Wentz

(Radio.com) Fall Out Boy's new album M A N I A will be released on September 15, and bassist Pete Wentz sees the band's seventh studio album as a fresh start.

"It feels like every once in awhile, you've gotta do a hard restart that clears the cache and erases the hard drive. I think that's what "Young and Menace" [the album's lead single] was--a big palette cleanse. I think it gave us the space to create something brand new," Wentz told Rolling Stone.

"The world can be a big lonely place, especially for kids who are trying to figure themselves out," he continued. "I think sometimes we can forget that� that's who Mania is meant to speak to. That's who I want to reach. I don't think that kids should feel like they need to adjust their empathy or selves to the world - I'd rather give them the belief that they can adjust the world to fit their empathy."
