I caught this group on TV and was surprised that they actually perform to music. Not a fan of the new sounds and had thought that the world had dropped melody from the Top 10 hits. I was pleasantly surprised to find that this group knows how to seduce a listener who isn't ready to give up on radio. Will definetly follow this group's career and hope they keep making music that old folks won't run screaming from. It is obvious that these musicians have what it takes to outlive me and still stay on top of the chart for a while.
This is one of the best albums that I've heard in years - and I'm not your typical Panic!At The Disco fan... I'm in my early 30's and I like bands such as Interpol, Franz Ferdinand, the White Stripes, and older stuff like Nick Cave, Tori Amos, and PJ Harvey.
I appreciate the clever, literate lyrics and the creativity of sound. The blending of styles of music is a very welcome change from bands whose entire albums sound like one big long song.
I appreciate the subtle (and not so subtle) ironies of the vocal presentation, and I respect their musical ability.
I should also mention that I lived in Vegas for seven years and this album is SO VEGAS. I really hate that some critics have made nasty references to My Space,etc. NO! NO! A THOUSAND TIMES NO! THIS ALBUM IS ABOUT LAS VEGAS, NOT THE TRIVIALITIES OF MY SPACE.
Maybe if one has lived in a Vegas or has spent a lot of time there, it's easier to appreciate some of the songs...
My favorites are "Build God. Then We'll Talk," "These Tables Are Numbered For A Reason..", and "Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks." And the "Intermission" - wow, that's such a cool break in the middle of a rock album.
I think "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" is a little bit mainstream teen fare, but it's still catchy and fun.
I love the verses of "Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have..." but the chorus was totally lost on me (why this teeny-bop stuff in the middle of an otherwise sexy song?) until I paid closer attention to a few of the lyrics.
This album is a work of art, and it's clearly meant to be listened to in it's entirety from beginning to end.
