Thanks for that! I interrupted my stream of the new Berries album to hear those two immediately - and it seems now Sparta and The Berries actually really fit together.
Sorry for the delay everyone, super busy day at work and what not. However, FINALLY updated my list for the day, added my playlist, etc. Enjoy! :)
Listened to the new Dave Hause single, and thought, "hey this sound familiar, how do I know all the words?". Turns out it's a reworked The Loved Ones track.
Just needed to say thanks to all the folks who got me onto NoSo. I've listened to it every day since.
The song is an interpolation of one of those old kinda-classics that many of us probably recognize but couldn't name. If you check out the song credits, they list Janis Ian as a songwriter, due to how they use melodies from her song "At Seventeen." I had to look the song up, but once I heard it, I was like, "Oh yeah, that!" Edit: Finally finishing the album and just noticed that he also credited Eric Carmen for his song "All By Myself" on (unsurprisingly) the song "All By Yourself."
Yeah, the album is basically one giant pastiche of all the things I don't like about classic rock. Listening through it is like trying to enjoy a bad version of a genre that I already don't care for
OHMYGOSH "Sad Clown" was written with the composer-duo who wrote the songs for the Frozen films. That's so funny. Butch Walker is also credited with co-writing on a bunch of these songs, which doesn't surprise me since (I think?) the album's producer is Butch's protege Jake Sinclair. Still, Butch has very seriously been disappointing me with so many of his features and co-writes in recent years. His stamp on a song used to really excite me, but now it means nothing.
Thank you! I used to love Butch Walker but anytime I see he’s produced something in the past several years it’s just a bunch of repeating samples over and over in a song. Sometimes it’s catchy on first listen but nothing I ever revisit.
I feel like each song on the Panic album reminds me of another classic song that he tried to make his own version of. The verse on Star Spangled Banner sounds very similar to the verse on Boys Are Back in Town by Thin Lizzy.
Too many interpolations on this album! I didn’t catch that one though It wouldn’t have surprised me if they’d actually written a song together though, since Brendan recorded the “pop” version of a song for Frozen 2
I saw you say that in a recent newsletter! I’m definitely excited to hear that. As most songwriters do, he usually keeps his best material for himself

This isn’t the first time BW has worked with panic… and are people just stupid or have they completely missed the last Andrew McMahon album (produced by Butch)?
I’m probably just stupid, thanks also, the album you’re referring to is 4 years old. Not really a strong reference point for addressing the comment I made
