![]() But when it is all constructed together as one, the result is that you end up singing or humming songs for days on end. But on reflection, isn’t that what pop music is at its best anyway? That is exactly what some of the best pop music ever has in common with this album When broken down into separate components, it fails many tests. And here is the contradiction It is probably derived from the aforementioned gimmicky music, over-the-top lyrics and/or whiny vocals. So where are the positives you might ask? Well, put simply, there is very little in terms of filler and there is a catchiness that resonates through this album that is just too difficult to ignore. While this all sounds elaborate & clever, it is really a way to try and distinguish tracks that aren’t individual enough to be distinguished in the first place. These 2 sections are linked by an overlong instrumental ‘Intermission’ (track 8) that begins as a techno loop and then works its way into a piano solo. Meanwhile, tracks 9-13 use old fashioned types of instruments such as accordions, horns and a vaudevillian piano. The scary thing is that the list could be continued! Yet, it is difficult to dislike this band or album too much.įirstly, to one of those gimmicks The album is split into 2 parts… Tracks 1-7 feature backing instruments such as drum machines and synthesizers that lead to all sorts of different background sounds. It could be the extra-long song titles that attempt humor… The use of many lyrics that the majority of the band’s target audience wouldn’t understand… The predominantly whiny vocals that dominate way too much… The unashamed gimmicks that try to make the songs (and entire album) better than they are… The strange mish-mashes of genres that are included throughout… Or the repetitious nature of many of the tracks. The members of Panic! At The Disco (PATD) don’t fall into any of these categories, but it can definitely be seen why they are so easy to dislike. Or it could even be the sneaky late hit that a sportsman gets in when the referee is not looking. Maybe it is the number of women that the star actor reportedly beds. It may be due to the frequent times that a musician is arrested, yet escapes jail time. ![]() Whether it be sporting identities, actors or musicians, the majority of people will dislike some spotlighted stars despite the fact that they do not know them personally. Yet it succeeds as catchy pop music with something just a little bit different and very little filler. Review Summary: Gimmicky, whiny, repetitious & pretentious, this album is easy to dislike. ![]()
