Panic! At The Disco

Tag: Life and MusicAlex @ 10:46 am

I am incredibly and hopelessly addicted to the Panic! At The Disco album A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out.

I’ve had the album for a good month or so now and have been listening to it constantly. Apart from the totally upbeat dance rhythms, I like the fact that words like “yeah”, “nigga” and “my bitches” aren’t all that common in their lyrics unlike the great majority of songs on C4 (New Zealand free-to-air music television channel).

One thing that I like that gives Panic! an edge over Fall Out Boy for me is the vocal talent and dynamics of the songs. Damn he can actually sing; does anyone know if he was singing broadway style before joining the band?

My only [minor] gripe is that the lyrics are sometimes hard to distinguish from simply listening to the songs. This comes about as the use of not-so-frequently used words and puns in their lyrics make some word choices not so obvious. Alas, the lyrics are included in the cover of the album. Since I compared to Fall Out Boy up there, I’ll also say that Fall Out Boy’s lyrics don’t seem to have the same vocal clarity that Panic!’s do.

Anyway, I don’t really have a favourite or worst song, I love them all, they don’t seem to be getting old yet either. My most-played playlist at the moment is sitting with 28 songs, Panic!’s album, Broken Dreams compilation and the Fall Out Boy album From Under the Cork Tree.

Hi everyone, my name is Alex and… I am emo.
Y’all knew it, now I’ve said it.
