(and yes i know their lyrics can be a touch on the... um... obnoxiously self-aware side. i think falling in love with 'from under the cork tree' last year helped me get past that lololol)
anyway, PATD arent too bad. i get the impression that a lot of the haters haven't paid any attention beyond the frustratingly bad videos for 'i write sins' and 'but its better if you do'
(just my 2 cents for now. i'll chime in [hah] again tomorrow once i get to work and this thread has grown to 200+ new answers, as every pop-punk thread seems to)

like, I don't mean to accuse anyone of being BITTER & OLD and PAST IT and AFRAID OF WHAT THE (middle-class suburban poncey) KIDS ARE INTO but I don't understand how you can't see how likeable they are! Picking on P!ATD is a little too obvious, don't you think? Oh no it's the latest strain of chart emo for sulky kids in eyeliner, it must be the worst thing ever.

no idea what "tl;dr" means but isn't that a line Natalie Portman says in that movie Closer? I guess they have the same obnoxious habit of jacking quotes from stupid movies as Fall Out Boy.

not to mention the allusion to the melody of 'my favorite things' on the album's last track! 'magpie-pop' is an interesting way to describe this, they're basically jacking from a lot of (admittedly, fairly obvious) places eg 'closer', palahniuk, musical theatre, etc, but (in my opinion) make it work

i think i'd like panic better if someone could defend this kid's lyrics. or convince me he knows what half of the words on the record even mean.
until then, i'll maintain that panic's lyrics are the worst kind -- dumb ones that thinks they're smart ones.

That pisses me off. I wonder what else Panic they stole from Chi Chi Rodriguez. Do they even know who Lee Trevino is?

I think they should have gone with PANIC! AT THE TACO BELL instead
-- Chinchilla Volapük (LO...), June 25th, 2006."
I think PANIC! AT THE MALL seems more appropriate. More universal, something the kids can relate to.
These guys are just painfully obnoxious. And not in an endearing way.

I did like "Viva Las Vengeance" - p good Queen pastiche. Maybe I'll check this out.
― No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Wednesday, 17 August 2022 03:04 (one year ago) link
both pretty. odd and this are power-pop records but whereas the former retained the sprawling '60s psychedelia that kind of got lost in the '70s and '80s, viva las vengeance embodies the latter decades' clarification of power-pop until it was as sharp as a blade's reflection in a coke mirror. one song ("sad clown") sounds like the elo discog accordioned into 3-4 minutes. there's also a lot of queenish orchestral/musical theater-ass excess that kind of takes over the second half of the record. i adore it ofc
