Free Music Notes for Pretty. Odd.
Free Music Review: Pretty Odd, but just as adorable
Hit: 5 Stars
When I first heard the sound of Panic at the Disco, I fell in love with their music. Their first album is quite lively, very punk-like and pumps you up without the help of any illegal substance. Pretty Odd, however is very different from PATD's first CD. If you're looking for more of the same or a Part II of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, then you'll end up disappointed. However, if you are a true music enthusiast and take this second album for what it is, "Pretty Odd" is more musically enthralling and ambitious too. Panic has been able to keep their carnivalesque image, but with a more subtle outreach. Actually if you listen to it closely, Pretty Odd seems to be divided in two. The first 6 songs seem to introduce the other half of the CD, which begins with "Northern Downpour" featuring Brendon Urie's melodic sweet voice.
I hope this review helps!
Free Music Review: Pretty much better then AFYCSO
Hit: 5 Stars
I love this album. It is unique and interesting. I listen to it while studying or reading and it is perfect. The songs are cmplex and interesting too so they should have good repeat listen appeal. It should be noted that I would only give their first album 2 1/2 stars as I found nothing too interesting with all the techno dacne beats they mixed in there. I suppose if you love AFYCSO you might not enjoy this album but other music fans may just love it. Also everyone quit saying they ripped off the beatles, I can hear a few similarities but I dont feel like I am listening to a beatles album at all and that would be the sign of an effective rip-off. If that is your opinion you might as well goo around reveiwing every band that uses power chords and distortion as Nirvana rip-offs. Anyways its pretty good and I would certainly recomend it to most.Free Music Review: Kinda Mellow, but Very Good

This Emo/Indie Las Vegas-based band have made a major change on this album. They have dropped the punctuation after Panic!. Why? Does it mean the band's taken a change in direction musically?
Thankfully not.
They still have their silliness and humor put into a modern 70's style-art rock. They have their quirky lyrics and ballad-like songs with "Nine in the Afternoon" and "That Green Gentlemen". Singer Brendon Urie has a way with wordplay that I have grown to admire in singers, because it makes the songs more interesting, catchy and crafty. There's a beauty among the songs on the album, especially on "Northern Downpour" and "Mad as Rabbits".
So they may have lost their exclamation point, but they definitely haven't lost their art, music ability and pop sensibility that prior fans have grown to love.
Free Music Review: watch out for incoming talent
Hit: 5 Stars
An amazing cd. They have grown more musicaly as a band. To me at times they sounded similar to the beatles, with their song "behind the sea" sounding reminscent to "octopus garden" by the beatles. Relaxing, fun, and great for the whole family. One of my favorite cd's of this year. You can tell in this cd that they were truelly trying to prove themselves as a band and not a loud symphony with a orchestra, and they sure did prove themselves. (they took out the panic! for just panic. They did a great job in this cd, it was very diverse which i loved. From folkin around to the piano knows something i don't, how can you not appreciate that talent. If you are only into panic because they were loud and crazy in the first one then maybe you wouldnt like the new one, for me its all about talent and these guys defantely have amazing talent.Free Music Review: different but definetly better

Everyone expected this album to sound similar to the last and got disappointed. So did I at some point. I missed the racey, danceable style that the last album entailed, but this album is just as catchy and enjoyable. At least the lyrics are just as random here. I would say this album would really seem interesting to an older-aged fanbase; I wouldnt expect these songs to be audibly appealing to grade-schoolers and most teenagers. I love the various familiar musical styles that are featured in this album. really brings you to a different atmosphere. "When the Day Met the Night" is my absolute favorite song for the whole summer now and will likely stay as one my favorite love songs. The album is great if you give it a chance and if you've actually liked the Beatles and have a decently broad appreciation for music.
