Anybody notice the over-simplified guitar riffs?

[The Kings Royal Baker]

I noticed recently that in Folie A Deux, the guitar parts are extremely simple. They sound great, don't get me wrong, and Joe and Patrick are good guitarists, but what's with the simplicity? In their albums past, they had semi-complicated riffs, but these ones are a few powerchords and a note here and there. I've heard most of the songs off of the album, and so far I've had no problem learning the meat of the song within a few minutes.

Like I said, it sounds great, absolutely some of their best work without a question. Maybe they owe this to the more simplified approach? Or am I just an over-analyzing guitarist?

i agree, they are a bit simple, but i think its still really good ^.^

I think you're just overanalyzing, babe, the guitars sound the same to me as they always have. But then, to be frank, I've never really listened to Fall Out Boy for the guitars. Perhaps I need to sit and have a listen just to Joe sometime, I get the impression I'm paying way too much attention to Patrick's voice.

Well I mean it's damn hard not to pay attention to Patrick's voice.
It's like a mixture between Fergie and Jesus.
