Free Music Review: An Interesting Concept Album That May Disappoint Some Fans
Hit: 4 Stars
This is an entirely new sound from Panic! at the Disco. This album is full of that Beatles/Beach Boys type of music. And I think it's pretty cool.
I own Panic!'s first CD and I'm a moderate fan of that genre of music (whatever it may be called). But this CD is really something completely different. This could be bad or good, depending on the listener. If you're only looking for that "A Fever..." brand of music, you will likely be disappointed. But if you're a fan of different musical genres, you might, like me, find this to be a nice little collection of retro pop.
I'm really big on the Beatles and I thought this album was a nice homage to their style. You can really hear the Beatles influence and it's not so much a rip-off of their tunes as it is a tribute to their legacy.
I see this as a concept album. An album of Beatles-esque '60s pop music, only sung by that guy from Panic! at the Disco. To me, the guys of Panic! at the Disco had an idea for an album and went out and made it happen. I think they did a good job. They can't out-Beatles the Beatles, but they do their best interpretation of them.
I don't know how well this album will do on the charts or if it will please the band's fanbase, but I certainly think it's an interesting and creative endeavor. A nice addition to the band's resum?.
If you're looking for the old Panic! sound, this is not it.
If you like the Beatles, this is worth checking out. Or at least listen to the samples. And if you're a Panic! fan and you like this album's sound, you should check out the Beatles' albums.
Pretty. Odd. Poster
For Panic At The Disco's sophomore follow-up to their Decaydance/Fueled By Ramen break-through debut 2005's A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the band holed up in a Las Vegas studio with renowned producer Rob Mathes. What they created is nothing short of a masterpiece, the 60's pop-inspired Pretty Odd. This time around, the band opted for real instruments and live tracking over Pro Tools software, citing influences as The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles. Says guitarist Ryan Ross in an interview with Billboard, We want to make music [that is] simple and timeless and not too pretentious. The band also did additional tracking at the Abbey Road Studio in London, adding a Beatles-esque flavor to their usual Vegas flare. The song lyrics have moved away from the whole one-liner, sarcastic thing says Ross, in favor of more everyday things. Lead single, "Nine In The Afternoon" has the band showing a healthy dose of maturity, having grown as songwriters and instrumentalists.Alternative Rock Music CDs
