I’m still waiting for post hiatus FOB to click with me. I feel like given how much I like post split Panic!, logically I should be into new FOB, but it still hasn’t happened for me. The two pray for the wicked songs clicked with me more than anything off MANIA, so...we’ll see I guess lol. I should really give MANIA a third listen.
Most of the songs on V&V bore me halfway through but it has been a while since I've bothered to revisit it. I have had Say Amen stuck in my head all damn day though.
Im really liking both of the new songs but I’m not surprised as I enjoyed BOAB a lot. Obviously Fever is a classic for me. Pretty Odd has grown on me over the years but I was so disappointed with it when it came out other than a few select songs. I also enjoy V&V a lot due to the obvious comparisons to Fever but some of the songs come across a bit cheesy compared to the original Fever sound...am I the only one that thinks this? Too Rare To Live is probably my least favourite from them. Lastly I’ve said it before but I’ll say it again, I’ve got to give huge props to Brendon for keeping the show going after being the last one standing. His voice has only gotten better over the years (he didn’t sound anywhere near as good during the Fever release). He’s super talented and comes across a great dude. Looking forward to the new album.
Damn V&V is a lot better than I remember it being. I don’t know why I had such a negative reaction to it initially. Also, is there a popular song that has a really similar melody to the chorus of Memories? I remember having that exact thought when I first listened years ago and I still can’t place it.
Here's a comprehensive(?) list of b sides for anyone looking. There are couple on here I hadn't heard. A GUIDE TO EVERY PANIC! AT THE DISCO B-SIDE - Don't Bore Us
@Allpwrtoslaves @beachdude42 @FTank A mix between Behind These Hazel Eyes and My Life Would Suck Without You by Kelly Clarkson?
Still need to go through Panic's discography between Fever and DOAB. Casually liked them through middle/high school, then had a renewed interest after DOAB came out and after seeing them live in 2016. Kind of blows my mind how popular they are after all these years. Digging the last album and these two new songs.
happy 10 years to Pretty. Odd. a true game changer 16 year old Andrew was hyped; Behind The Sea and When The Day Met The Night are still my jam
I remember keeping up with the Vices album cycle after the split so closely. I think I even submitted a few news posts for absolutepunk haha I’ve never been more excited for an album than I was for that one. The video they did featuring songs from the album, The Overture, was such a cool intro to the album.
I forgot about that Overture. That was really cool. What was the last line like "It's just the two of us left... hasn't it always been?" Or something really dramatic like that.
Cannot get the "cherries, cherries, everything is cherries on top" part from Silver Lining out of my head.
I always freak out a little when Panic! releases new music because their sound always changes so much. But I'm digging the vibe of this new stuff so far.
