First I want to start by saying, if you pick up this album thinking it's going to be like their previous effort, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, you're going to be in for a huge let-down. I've read so many negative opinions on this album (or crying about the fact that the band decided to ditch the exclamation point), that I decided to do this review. I want to say that I love this album. It's amazing to me, both lyrically and musically. I love the fact that Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross shared both vocals and writing lyrics. However, you can very much tell which songs were written by Ryan and which were written by Brendon, as their writing styles differ greatly. There are a few songs on this album that probably shouldn't have been there, but then again, it wouldn't be a Panic at the Disco album. At first, I didn't like the song Folkin' Around, but after a few listens, it grew on me. At first listen, I'd have to say that I loved Northern Downpour greatly. The Piano Knows Something I Don't Know sounds like it belongs in Sweeney Todd moreso than a Panic at the Disco album to be quite honest, but I love it anyway. This album has been played for days on many occasions, in the car, and at home, and is on constant rotation on my iPod. It's a great "summer" album, definately. If you haven't heard it yet, give it a listen. You'll either love it or hate it.
