Current music:Panic At The Disco ♥ "Mad As Rabbits"

Let's talk "Pretty. Odd."

Firstly, I am not a Panic Fangirl by any means. I've been listening to them since the "Fever..." demos came out, and I bought the cd the day it dropped. But I could care less who they're screwing and it's just been within the last month or so that I've been able to tell any of them apart.

But this cd? It's flawless, a pretty amazing show-off of their talents. They did change their sound quite a bit, but I do like it because they're the type of band that does everything with fierce fucking style. They kind of infect your brain with their sugary pop melodies and force you to sing along.

Yeah, it's a total 100% Beatles ripoff. The last album was a Chuck Palahniuk ripoff, I'm cool with that. My only problem is that now that they don't have Chuck Palahniuk quotes to fall back on, the lyrics could've used some more work. You could 'cause you can so you do? Really?


EDIT
"The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know" is my favorite song from this album now. I won't cut my beard and I won't change my hair / It grows like fancy flowers but it grows nowhere. Oh, Panic. ILU.

It's weird, because "Fever..." and "Pretty. Odd." are really different albums, but both left me with the same feelings.

First, I can't distinguish the songs. None of them really stick out to me very well. Then I find myself wanting to listen to it - not just a song, but the whole entire album. Like I'll be sitting around and then think, "I want to listen to Pretty. Odd."

No other band has done that for me. xD Not with an entire CD.

(Favorite songs are slowly starting to emerge. I actually like the intro and intermission songs, thank god, this time around. "She Had the World" is so far my absolute favorite. I'm not a fan of "Behind the Sea" but that's the only one I don't like.)
