Panic! at the Disco - Death of a Bachelor - Review

(So I meant to have this done on the day the album came out, but I wasn't feeling right at the moment with the album.  I'm back though.  Time to get this done!)

Well, I never thought that I'd be doing a review for Panic! at the Disco.  Not that they aren't good, it's just that bands of the hardcore and metal scenes are more my style and what I love.

I remember back in the days when A Fever You Can't Sweat out had come out in 2005, bringing the famous earworm "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" was pushed into the ears of many, and became an instant hit.  When I look back now it seemed just as casual radio rock, but still it's a song that is fun to sing along with and act out.  (No judging, please.)

ANYWHO.  Death of a Bachelor surely is an interesting album.  At some points it's a rock album, but a lot of it tends towards hip-hop styles.  Not that hip-hop is bad, especially from a band that mixes up their doubts with each album that they put out.  Songs like Victorious really bring out the hip-hop, while tracks like Golden Days and Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time bring out the rock in the album... Sort of.  Now I don't think it's bad.  It's rock, just more electronic rock.

The guitars are great, as are the drums, but we all know, if we've all heard it, that Brendon Urie's vocals thrive on through the album as usual, creating earworms a plenty.

For a Panic! at the Disco album, this is alright.  You all know by what I post, that I love hardcore and metal genres more than anything, but I thought I'd put some words in for this.
