Free Music Notes for Pretty. Odd.
Free Music Review: Very disappointing.
Hit: 1 Stars
"A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" was a loud, energetic, fun album to listen to. Everytime I listen to one of the songs, it's a fun experience. It's upbeat and fun to blast and move your head back and forth to and tap your feat.
"Pretty. Odd." is definitely not like that. I bought this album expecting a good time, and it really disappointed me. Admittedly, if I had known this is the direction the band was going, I likely would not have bought it at all. But I bought the album expecting that energy and personality that I had the first time around.
Unfortunately, I was very disappointed.
Free Music Review: not what it seems.
Hit: 4 Stars
My first thing to note: this is not for a fan of Panic! At the disco (as opposed to Panic At The Disco). The guys really took a 180 on this album, even though their first song promises they are still the same, and have not changed, it is quite obvious that this CD is a huge transition from a fever you can't sweat out. Once, you get over a shock of what you thought you were expecting (after all, who couldn't resist the catchyness of a Fever You Can't Sweat Out? Not me.), you start to loathe this CD. Its so slow, so boring, and so not the Panic you thought you had in store. But, I promise you, after several listens, it just gets that goody mellow music you've been looking for your whole life (or maybe the past couple of months). I really feel like this is a different band, but still a great one nonetheless.Free Music Review: Searching. Trying. Defining. Fresh.
Hit: 5 Stars
The majority of critics of 'Pretty Odd' seem to focus on comparing their previous album to this one. What's truly amazing is the lack of depth of the reviews FOCUSING solely on comparing old to new. I am reading so many mixed reviews of this album but my perception is a lot of negativity regarding this album. As time passes this album will go down as one of the most creative and album from PATD.
It bears repeating - This album is so freaken creative, so out there, so 'odd', such a refreshing sound that listeners need time to understand it. This album actually got me excited about music again. I was tired of the 'pop' sound and what i received in this album is a defining classic that will take most fans time to appreciate.
How much time? DECADES!!!!!
Free Music Review: Much Better than their debut album
Hit: 4 Stars
While those who loved Panic at the Disco's debut may hate PRETTY. ODD., I think that PRETTY. ODD. is ten times the album their debut was. With the exception of a couple of strong tracks ("I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and "Lying Is the Most Fun..." namely), I wasn't a Panic (formerly Panic!) fan in the least. Sure, I love their videos, but the band just seemed a bit over the top to me. Evidently, the boys of Panic at the Disco got the same notion about themselves, canning their original follow-up to their debut with this "pretty. odd." sophomore album. Sure, it is a bit schizophrenic in composition, but somehow, this novelty album ultimately works perfectly. If anything, it did propel the Panic boys to a chart position they'd never seen before, #2 with a bow of 139,000, not bad for an album that never new what six-digits was until it was eventually certified platinum. While the chances of PRETTY. ODD. going platinum seem convoluted by its initial slow, lackadaisical sales, it could go gold. But then, we are in a time where NOTHING is selling.
"Nine in the Afternoon", the first true selection from PRETTY. ODD. is an excellent choice for first single. It is short and sweet, and the production if phenomenal. Brendon Urie's vocals seem to be much more mature on PRETTY. ODD. than on their first outing, which is a plus. Following "Nine in the Afternoon", a series of strong, standout and varied tracks follow including "She's a Handsome Woman", the slightly manic and cabaret "Do You Know What I'm Seeing" in which Brendon Urie sings the catchiest lyrics of the whole album ("I know it's sad, but I never gave a damn about the weather and it never gave a damn about me" ), and the irresistible "That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)". All are solid, more than can be said about their debut, at least in my opinion.
Skipping over pointless interludes (I think most interludes are pointless by the way), "Northern Downpour" features some of the sickest guitar riffs of PRETTY. ODD. while "When The Day Met The Night" just might be my personal favorite of the entire album. "Pas de Cheval" is solid as well, while the remainder of the tracks begin to lose some of their uniqueness and freshness. Sure "The Piano Knows Something That I Don't Know", "Behind The Sea", "She Had the World", "From a Mountain in the Middle of the Cabins" and"Mad As Rabbits" are all solid, but the aren't as strong as the forefront and middle portions of PRETTY. ODD., which are pretty excellent. However, by the time, nobody really cares because Panic have really established themselves as more credible artists than their debut proved (despite the Grammy nomination). Overall, PRETTY. ODD. scores highly in my grade book. 4 stars.
