The band's fourth studio album came out in 2013 and peaked at #2 on the Billboard charts.
Most likely because of its singles, since at that time the most popular sound in the alternative rock scene was this explosive and electronically overproduced sound that Imagine Dragons had popularized (In this case, I will openly say that Panic at the Disco did not have this stereotypical sound on this album, it is simply their previous career and the new electronic-tinged material that made them position themselves on the charts. And I'm not saying this as a Panic! fan, I'm saying it objectively. But, take for example "Centuries" by Fall Out Boy and you will see how they did want to get as close as possible to the Imagine Dragons sound. Panic in this case, no. Well, maybe we can put "Miss Jackson" in that bag, but that's it.)
But this album, after the arrival of the band's new materials, was somewhat forgotten in general. Not even the fans agreed with it. Some considered it a cult masterpiece and others considered it the band's weakest album. Something that does not happen so exaggeratedly with pretty.odd., which we all consider almost 100% to be an underrated work.
It is true that the band began to regain its popularity from then on, but as the years went by they became bigger and bigger, and the new hits overshadowed this album, and the more classic hits too. TWTL, TRTD was left in the middle as if it were a sandwich.
But, why the hell is it coming back?
because it was an innovative album, and we have only been able to see it 10 years after its release.
First of all, with the whole retrowave wave that became popular in 2020, this type of sound was a trend that many people started to replicate.
Before The Weeknd and Dua Lipa... Panic! made a nostalgic retrowave album, and few people were able to see it at the time.
Second, with the trend of retro and 80s sounds, the aesthetics of the music artists who were oriented towards this genre also changed to a more nostalgic one. And Panic at the Disco also opted for this aesthetic back in 2013. The tuxedos, the samples of 80s films in concerts, as well as the visualizers of videos from 30 years ago, the impeccable aesthetics and the grainy colours.
As an example, the sound of songs like Far Too Young To Die, which samples a preset of an 80s synthesizer, or Cassual Affair, which sounds very much like Depeche Mode, are songs that were very ahead of their time, because they were very inspired by the past.
And now we move to 2024, and we have the Indie Slaze Revival, starring artists like The Dare. This new trend of synthetic bass, electronic keyboards, and clapping electric drums is something I can't help but hear on this record in songs like "Girl That You Love"
And finally, we fans have started listening to this album with different ears, ones that fill us with nostalgia. But not retrowave nostalgia, but nostalgia for when Panic! At The Disco (at that time, still a band) evolved their sound and gave us a wonderful album with which we could go to concerts and enjoy a very good band that seemed to have not yet given its best yet. Before Pray for the Wicked and High Hopes, before quarantine, when life was easier.
Surprise, it wasn't, but that's how nostalgia works :)
I love you, Too Weird To Live, To Rare To Die!
For me it has to be the greatest show
this is in the description for the band (if you can even call it that anymore) and i’m wondering if it means something or if im just being delusional and thinking too far into it
No fucking shot Always is this low
After years of searching for this shirt, I'm finally on Reddit lol. I vividly remember around 2007-2009 having a woman's, white PATD AFYCSO era shirt. It was from Hot topic. I wore it to death. It had a flapper style woman(?) smoking a cigarette on one of those long cigarette holders on it in black. The smoke cloud said panic at the disco. I've been searching for it online for so long but never had any luck. Does anyone have any clue what I'm talking about, please haha
Soo been listening to the whole VLV album recently, I know there was a lot of Queen/Thin Lizzy influence but does anyone know any other bands or songs similar to the VLV style?
Hear me out, what would y’all think about Brendon Urie going on an Eras Tour like Taylor Swift but he does all his eras instead??
How tf tho? 😭
i’ve been trying to add as many unreleased/demo songs to a spotify playlist but i feel as though there’s way more songs that haven’t been released than the ones i have in my playlist. Does anyone have any audio files of unreleased songs i can add
I'm aware of two Time to Dance demos, one from October 2004 and one from January 2005. Does anybody know which one of these was on the Japanese version of AFYCSO?
I don’t know what to look up to find this Edwardian dark circus aesthetic (idk how to describe it) that they had from those tours and that album.
If anybody has brand recommendations or tips for male clothing and accessories of the sort or anything Plz send
It could be like another Panic! album with Ryan Ross.
say anything u want!! idc honestly i won't be offended cuz why would i be?? haha
Hey! So again I wanted to ask. I found alot of photos of Ryan in hockey jersey. Did Ryan play hockey profesionaly or was it just a hobby? I would be glad if someone answered, thank you sm :3
Can someone tell me what I’m missing from this playlist? I want it to have basically everything Panic! At The Disco it can, including unreleased stuff, demos, and stuff that’s just not (or frequently/usually isn’t cough Mercenary cough). Thank god for local files.
I know I need: Mercenary Kaleidoscope Eyes That one Christmas song That one Halloween song?
If you can also point me in the direction of good versions of the things I need, that would also be great.
Thanks, all.
Back in 2007 before Pretty. Odd. was finished, and right after Cricket & Clover was scrapped, the band would play an early version of WtDMtN at music festivals called “Middle of Summer”.
Which version do you guys like better? Should the original version have been released instead of the final version on Pretty. Odd.? Or was it a good thing that the song changed?
Listen to the Reading Festival 2007 performance of Middle of Summer here!
so, i used to be (i still listen to patd here and there) a diehard panic at the disco fan. got into them when i was around the age of eleven, circa the twtltrtd era.
i’ve been around much discourse in regards to brendon urie and co. i kind of wanted to talk about my perspective in that.
i would get shunned on any other website so i figured i would talk about it here.
for a little backstory so you know im not talking out of my ass, i was a superfan until the stuff about zack hall started surfacing. yanno, the stuff in regards to him being an awful person? that was something that people had kind of been aware of. the body shaming, the disrespect to dallon and breezy, his less than great attitude. i remember waiting eagerly on how brendon would respond, seeing i was there for the kenny allegations where brendon and team kicked kenny harris out of the band almost IMMEDIATELY after they came out. and mind you, kenny had been there since late v&v era, early twtltrtd.
i decided i no longer really wanted to be invested in the band after brendon’s only response was an 5-8 minute long livestream where he pretty much said “i know zack, he’s different now” when clearly he wasn’t. zack cloud hall had a track record of being a not good person, but it was overlooked by a lot of fans. at that point i tapped out.
this leads me to what i wanted to talk about.
i do not think brendon is an egomaniac— i think he was taken advantage of and groomed (not in a nsfw way) emotionally by the adults in his life when panic first rose to fame. perhaps specifically, by zack hall. brendon was really one of the focal points of the band. seeing that it all started when they were barely legal adults, i feel like it should come to no surprise that the adults in their lives took advantage of their naïveté. brendon urie being around seventeen at the time, and if i remember correctly zack TEN years older than him. i am 22 now, and looking back at my seventeen year old self, man… i was a BABY.
imagine the impact and influence of all these adults around brendon urie— especially with the fact B grew up mormon, and of course i’d be unsurprised if he was riding the high of the fame and newfound freedom.
that all being said, i think brendon urie at his core is a good person. simply misguided by fame and influence. i don’t think he deserved the hate he got, i don’t think any of those stupid fucking allegations were true. contrary to the popular belief that brendon urie is a terrible person, i’d like to think he’s decent man that has just done bad things. like all of us.
i think the main issue people should focus on is how fame can affect the minds of young celebrities. it isnt the first time we have seen the effects of something like that on the minds.
though, brendon is a 35 year old man. he has the ability to understand right from wrong. i’m not justifying his use of the n-word/mouthing it on vine, i’m not justifying him saying that weird shit to crowd during the too weird era (but to be fair, he had an issue with depression and alc in that era thats plain to see with past live videos, and what is loosely mentioned in that v&v docu on youtube), im not justifying his behavior to dallon and co. but i think i can understand why things turned out the way they did.
to my knowledge, he is still in kahoots with zack hall. therefore, i am still slightly uncomfortable by that. but when you practically grew up with somebody like that i understand it may be hard to let go.
anyways, yeah. that’s my controversial opinion. let me know what you guys think. just to clarify, i’m not a hater, but i got years behind me in my knowledge of this subject so i honestly just wanted to hear other perspectives and whatnot :)
