Pretty. Odd. – Panic! At the DiscoView More By Panic! At the Disco Our ReviewOn their second release Panic at the Disco lay out their cheeky intentions immediately with a brief opening ditty that proclaims: “Oh, how we’ve been so long/we’re sorry we’ve been gone/we were busy writing songs for you!” before erupting into a cheering crowd. The self-referential schtick and some of the sillier lyrics can get a bit thick but there’s no denying that they’re having a good time and it’s all charming enough to pull listeners along. They try to hide their ambition behind runaway goofiness but there are too many good hooks and hummable melodies to truly believe that they don’t know what they’re doing. And as soon as you think that maybe they’re taking none of it seriously they throw off a lovely tune like “Northern Downpour.” Stylistically it’s all miles from their 2005 debut A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. This time around they toss in a bit of everything, including strings, horn fills, swirling harmonies, even a mock-vaudevillian interlude in “I Have Friends in Holy Places.” To say that Pretty. Odd. is often over the top is as obvious as some of the corny wordplay.. Customer ReviewsDon't believe the Scene kids, this is a great album (5 stars)The anthemic chorus of "That Green Gentleman" rings, "Things have changed for me..."

The quartet has ditched the edgy emo sound and replaced it with a more melodic and experimental sound, paying tribute to the glory of the 60's. While today's scene crowd may bicker at the new sound, Panic has ultimately Where's the Panic and Disco? (2 stars) Ive been anticipating this album for a long time and I was really excited. When Nine In the Afternoon came out, I was satisfied. The song wasnt as witty or clever as their previous album but it was catchy and upbeat, I liked it enough. Considering my favorite songs on the last album werent the singles, I figured this album would be the same. So i braved the pouring rain here to go buy Pretty. Odd. as soon as I could. I popped it into my CD p Completely Different, Completey Amazing (5 stars) Panic at The Disco's second album is a far cry from the first. It's style is much more influenced by people like the Beatles, and it sounds new a fresh. It has blown me away just as uch as the first album, but in a completely different way. I recommend buying the full album. That Green Gentleman, Pas de Cheval, and Nine in the Afternoon are probably the high points. I miss the circus theme of live performances, but the new music leaves nothi BiographyFormed: Las Vegas, NVGenre: Alternative Years Active: '00s, '10s The members of Panic! at the Disco had barely graduated high school when their full-length debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, transformed the suburban Las Vegas teens into national emo-pop stars. The band had materialized several years earlier, when friends Spencer Smith (drums) and Ryan Ross (guitar) began covering blink-182 tunes together. After tiring of playing another group's material, they recruited two additional classmates, guitar/vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson, and the newly...
