Best song on that album by a mile in my opinion. I forgot that was played early so I wasn't including that when I mentioned the album tracks being better than the singles.
Speaking of DOAB the album, it still really surprises me that Brendon didn't play Impossible Year that tour cycle.
I feel like it would have worked better if they’d switched the instrumentation up from the original, like, at all haha. That chorus begs for a powerful voice like Dua’s, and Brendon falsettoing his way though it sounds really out of place
I thought his SCF performance was pretty bad, but I think the whole PATD! ship has sailed for me by now anyways. He's gone a new and more theatrical direction and all the power to him, he's a talented dude, but I don't think he pulls off this new direction all that well. He's very pitchy live and doesn't have the full charisma of a Bruno Mars to fully take command of these type of pop songs.
Wow I totally disagree. He is absolutely full of charisma. Pitchy occasionally, but that's pretty rare for him. He's also constantly improvising and rarely sings stuff the same exact way twice.
I can't imagine watching that performance, clearly staged for a crazy spectacle, and making any judgments about the band and how charismatic he is. SHRUG.
The kind of pop songs Brendon is releasing with panic! are completely different from the ones Bruno Mars is releasing.
Brendon seems insanely charismatic as a frontman. I haven’t seen him live in person since the SR&R tour but even then he was fun. Backflips and stuff. And he’s only gotten even more theatrical since.
have slept on this for the most part but High Hopes came up on my Release Radar and i can't stop listenin'
