The title to this full-length remix of
Fall Out Boy's album
American Psycho winks at
Donald Trump's presidential campaign slogan "Make America Great Again" -- a scenario that seemed like just a fantasy when
FOB released their original album back in January 2015 -- but it is also truth in advertising: the band remakes all of
American Psycho by remixing it and drafting a bunch of rappers for cameos. Ironically, this hip-hop-heavy revision has the net effect of straightening out a wild, woolly record; for instance, it dampens the Munsters sample in "Uma Thurman," thereby making it seem simple and plain. But it does highlight how
FOB's music is designed to withstand such playful inversions and, for big fans, that makes it worth a listen. [
Make America Psycho Again was also released in a clean version that removed the album's explicit content.] ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
