It is here and it is good! This band just keeps changing and changing, but never in a bad way. From pop punk to Beatle to now a very jazzier album Panic never disappoints. This album was created all by the lead singer and the only remaining member Brendon Urie (also help from a great producer). While the album is amazing. I really feel that whoever was in charge of marketing when it comes to how many songs come out. If some of us pre ordered the album before the album actually "dropped" we have already heard half of the album. Hallelujah was released almost a year before the album even had a release date. This song brings in a great gosspal sound with a Panic! twist. Not to mention some great notes hit by Brendon. That was the only good thing they did with song releases. The next song to come out was Victorious. Why they keep beating this dead horse of a song is beyond me. This song is a upbeat anthem that is all about being Victorious. While it is a song that sounds more like a jam with Brendon hitting high notes it is not even close to one of the best songs on the album. After that Emperors New Clothes drops. When I heard this song i honestly did not like it. I really felt having three songs released that almost didn't make 3:00 minutes a piece really got me upset. Then he dropped the video for Emperors New Clothes. This video made me like the song. Brendon Urie basically turns into a demon. The make-up and production was very well done. I am not surprised because this director also directed the This is Gospel music video and that was great. LA Devotee is then dropped. This song should have been the Victorious. It is up beat catchy and overall fun. This song did not get a huge amount of fandom even though it really is one of the best on the album. Don't threaten me with a good time drops New Years Eve. With an intro that brings back memories of rock lobster by the B-52s then turns into a very Panic!ish song. So on and so forth the album finally drops. Every song that was released (that wasn't dropped yet) are better then the ones flaunted about. Crazy=Genius and Death of a Bachelor are exactly what I wanted Brendon to use his voice for. Frank Sinatra rose out of his grave a little to hear those two songs. Overall the album is good. I just really wish that artist did not release half of the album before it comes out. If the album is good I feel people will buy it and the people will decided which song is the "best" not be forced to assume a song is great because it is flaunted around. I might sound like I hate Brendon Urie but it is the exact opposite. They are my favorite band. That would be why I care so much and are willing to talk all about them. So I really hope you get around to listening to the album. I suggest Death of a Bachelor, LA Devotee, and watch and listen to Emperors New Clothes.
