Panic! at the Disco

[ttf]

I like their douglas coupland references because I really liked douglas coupland

[TKC]

Saw them at Leeds Fest and walked off to see Comeback Kid instead

[Bamnan]

oh fall out boy, or are you saying fuck off buddy!?

gonna assume the former

[Gnometorious]

Baffled by all the music fans in a music forum, saying they really like the first album but then haven’t listened to anything further.

[Avery]

Didn’t really care about their first album at the time. Quite liked their move into covering the Beatles on the second. After that though he seems to have simply honed his ability to write banger after banger after banger and I think p!atd are great.

Too much music not enough time.

Also, their debut came out the year I went to uni and I was well into 90s emo and jew etc. By the time pretty odd came along it was my last year of uni, and by that point I’d gone fairly far down the rabbit hole of obscure post-punk, steely Dan, Frank zappa et Al (was studying music).

Then I was back on the IOM for a year living in the ‘real world’ with a grown up job and that and wasn’t listening to much music. Then I went back to uni in 2010 but by that point I was half into reggaeton and half going to see whichever indie bellend band was on at the nation of shopkeepers

Which albums would you recommend? Fave song I know is Lying is the Most Fun…

They are always lumped in with Fall Out Boy but I think they are much better.

[Gnometorious]

Since they are one of my favourite bands, I would recommend every album
Try ‘Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die’

I like FoB but think Panic! are much more interesting and make much better music.

Went looking for this:

Both of these things are superb.

I like that Brendon Urie is a huge Every Time I Die fan, and has a tattoo confirming that. And that he guests on this song:

[Konichiwa_Bitches]

I fucked with the first two albums big time, was kinda over them by the time that Mona Lisa album came out but nonethless did like that album. And then I assumed they’d broke up because didn’t hear a peep in years but then yer man pops up with Taylor Swift and makes the song of the year and actually he’s never gone away and it more famous than ever. Very weird to me because I cannot separate them in my mind from being so incredibly welded to the mid-2000s

[Konichiwa_Bitches]

Oh also they were the first band I saw at a gig that I properly went to with my pals (first actual band was watching Oasis with my dad when I was about 10), they were supporting The Academy Is… and the first album was not yet out and more people were there for them than The Academy Is…

[urbanfox]

Have heard that song a few times on the radio at work and would’ve put the house on it being Fall Out Boy.

[bunique]

I remember listening to Fever which came out when I was about 21/22 and being staggered they had created it as 16 year olds. It’s a cracker. I toyed with second album but haven’t listened to much since. But my 8 year old is singing High Hopes with her choir so now I get to listen to them (him?) all over again!

Did this thread somehow get bumped from 2008 or something?

[Owensmaterob]

Brendan Urie’s transformation from nerdy emo kid to Full-Blown Actual Pop Star has been pretty incredible to watch. Also really interesting watching his evolution in contrast with Fall Out Boy’s, where it’s clear that 1/2 that band are showing up just for the paycheck and they’re not even doing pop well. Whereas in contrast, Death Of A Batchelor is a borderline masterpiece and even though it’s an Unpopular Opinion, I cape for Pray For The Wicked as a pretty great weekend party album.

Also, fucking… this

You can hate the song, you can hate the concept, but to do all of that while singing live… I guess what I’m saying is that Brendan Urie made me realise that sexuality is a spectrum

[Owensmaterob]

*5 albums worth (pretty.odd can get all the way into the bin)

[tilty]

Banger yes?
