Panic At The Disco is the new generation's My Chemical Romance

I will say of all their stuff I have now heard, that song is maybe my least favorite. It's like instant ear-stab headache for me.

i liked "high hopes" but its omnipresence has ruined it a lot for me

for instance, it has been stuck in my head for the past thousand years

sibglea = singles obv

yes! this song is excellent! power pop panic is back

ok i heard a really miserably shitty leak of the new album and it's my favorite panic! album... ever? def one of my favorite albums of the year? makes me think of pop opuses from the sixties pretty often, and also is a real boy, and also dog problems and aim & ignite? every song is a firework of hooks

this album is what my mania sounds like

Will definitely listen when it's out but not been feeling the couple of singles so far

i adore "local god" ftr, think that's a p perfect slanted shard of power-pop with a great bridge. i admit "middle of a breakup" is a little rickety in its piling on of melodic lines but i like it fine in sequence. as it goes the album consistently works itself into this highly-compressed kind of grandeur and that's what i think i'm attracted to, the chamber-poppiness of it all, all these crazy melodic turns shrunken into these tiny songs like the gears in a clock

Better than pretty.odd? I'll give it a listen

i’m prob just excited

I did like "Viva Las Vengeance" - p good Queen pastiche. Maybe I'll check this out.

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

internet majorly hates this record but ohhhh i still love it sooooo much

if i didn't give up making year-end lists this would be my album of the year, probably for the best bc that's very embarrassing
