Panic! At The Disco was one of my favorite bands. I say was because I loved there first c.d. (A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out) but ever since there second c.d. (Pretty. Odd.) I have a different opinion of them. They changed their sound since their first c.d.

I loved every song on their first album from “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage” to “I Write Sins Not Tragedies”. They had an interesting sound with so much energy.  I enjoyed how unique and powerful Brendon Urie’s voice was. There was so much excitement in each of there songs, there wasn’t any of those boring love songs on there. And although there lyrics do not make any sense, I love them.

There new c.d. Pretty. Odd. is not great like the first one. “Nine in the Afternoon”  the only single released. I was so happy when I heard it, but I was instantly disappointed. It is a crazy song and I actually like the music video, it is pretty funny. I mean this song is okay but it is different than their first c.d. “Mad As Rabbits” is another song on Pretty. Odd. I like this one a little better than “Nine In The Afternoon” Not only does the usual singer Brendon Urie sing but so does the guitar player, Ryan Ross.  He surprised me and did a decent job.  He did not sing at all on A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out and although I said he did a decent job but I read somewhere that he is the one that wanted to make their second album sound more professional. So he changed the sound of their music.

I still like Panic! At The Disco but hopefully by their third c.d. they will go back to doing more songs like their first c.d. I am not the only one who has thought this about their Pretty. Odd. album. I think http://seattletimes.nwsource.com said it perfectly when Patrick MacDonald said “When Panic! at the Disco took the "!" out of their name, they also took the "!" out of their music.” I agree completely.  Not that it is bad but it is different, not the music and the band I fell in love with.  Unfortunately even though they messed up, I still love them. I am a loyal fan of theirs but if their next c.d. is bad, I will change my mind about being a fan.
