i really like the b-sides too but i would rather have had like the best 13 songs or something. a mix of both. i also really like their song with fun. "come on". not sure if they was a b-side to this album or not but it's sick

I loved Vices, it was a huge step up from Pretty. Odd., which I didn't really like. It's going to be cool to see Dallon as a band member, I used to go see The Brobecks play and he rocked.

more like Fever please :gay:

I was very pleased with Vices & Virtues, looking forward to the next one.

It's good to know I'm not the only one who thinks that. I was so disappointed in Vices and Virtues after loving Pretty. Odd.

I completely disagree, those ones mostly sucked.

No, and seeing as Ryan and Jon wrote the majority of Pretty. Odd., I'm not sure how album three would have turned out had it been in that vein. That said, if the line-up hadn't changed, I would have loved to see the band write another record continuing in that style.

As for album four, I just hope it's more musically and lyrically complex than V&V. The wide array of instrumentation was great, but the melodies were the simplest they ever were for Panic! and the words were more teenage diary -esque than poetic.

I see. I completely lost track of Panic once Pretty. Odd. came out. I loved their debut, and didn't care much for P.O. (not my style, I guess), so I never really knew what the general consensus is.

The last album was great but man, those first two albums. Damn.

This. Best they ever did.

I like Dallin. I met him during the brobeck days, in sacramento. He was wearing cool white robot looking sunglasses. This interview was chill. I know these comments have nothing to do with the music...but ya. I just super appreciate musicians that are down to earth and dallin seems that way.

I don't think so. I think it was very polarizing for their fans--most wanted a return to the Fever style, but some absolutely loved Pretty. Odd.

And, like others have said, the two members that seemed to point the band in that direction left. Too bad for me. Hope they do well with this one, though.

Pretty Odd was good. I thought Vices was GREAT. Seriously. Love the B-sides too.

Should be a solid release.
