Sure it's catchy but it's crap mostly. I don't like it. It's boring. And if you're gonna copy The Beatles, make it sound good, m'kay?

I get really frustrated when Silversun Pickups get compared to Smashing Pumpkins, or when Mika gets compared to Queen. Similarly, I really don't appreciate all the Beatles comparisons that have gone into Pretty. Odd. It's as if that's the only possible comparison to be made to a collection of classically-influenced guitar pop songs. There's a lot more to it than that, and herein lies the album's appeal. Urie's voice has flexibility and a much warmer tone, many new avenues of the band's overall sound were explored and it's another fun and layered adventure in music, much like Fever was. This album needs time- Lord knows I had to give it plenty- but the reward is more than worth it.

The uniqueness that Panic(!) at the Disco is known for is absent in this album. I like most of the songs, but I feel like I'm listening to a different band. It's average at best, the tunes are still catchy, but it's just not them. I bought a PatD album so understandably I had wanted to listen to PatD, not some other band.

an album that advertises itself with the title, "pretty odd" contains no shortage of charm.

Gotta admit this one was an improvement over their awful debut record. It takes some sweet cues from The Beatles at times which gives it a pleasant and inventive sound overall. It is way too drawn out though.

Panic! ditch the darker moods and electronic elements that they had on AFYCSO for a more traditional classical rock sound influenced by the Beatles. Panic! sound the most cheerful and laid back they ever have here with catchy hooks, warm choruses, with piano, string and horn parts. The angst and energy found on their other releases isn't quite found here and is replaced with a more relaxed and mellow tone making for a complete and unexpected shift in sound from their previous album, but an enjoyable and pleasant listen.

After "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" Panic! picked the most baffling direction to move in possible. They'd set up a good alternative rock fanbase and showed that they weren't some throwaway act that was going to make generic rock songs for money. And then...they became The Beatles.rThat's not even a joke. "Pretty. Odd." is, at its heart, a Beatles homage. From the tongue-in-cheek attitude of the whole album to the catchy singalong sound to the baroque classical instrumentation, it's The Beatles. It's not bad, but it's not Panic!.rThere are some highlights?'Nine in the Afternoon' is a catchy, fun song, for example?but "Pretty. Odd." is mostly a strange chapter in the history of a talented band. It's not bad, it's not great, it's just 'Pretty. Good.'

It has some nice songs including Northern Downpour and That Green Gentleman. However, compared to their other albums this falls short; it lacks the witty lyrics and alternative feel that made Panic successful.

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was a great album. It was catchy, it was fun, it had interesting lyrics, and girls liked it too! It embodied its title. Pretty. Odd was a poor follow up. It wasn't catchy, it tried too hard, it begged you to find it interesting and clever. Maybe the fame and pressure overburdened the band. Either way, the album lived up to its title as well. Or at least the odd part.

Pretty. Odd. was okay, but compared to the classic "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" it was a pathetic attempt for the then !-less band.

Not a band I would normally dig, but this album was actually pretty good especially "She Had the World." Only thing I can really complain about is that very few songs have much energy. All of the material is pretty laid back and gets a bit boring if you listen to a large amount of the album in one sitting.

This will be the album that truly divides the sheep from the herd as far as Panics fanbase is concerned.
Panic has dropped the defining sound of thier debut for a much more personal, melodic sound, and the result is suprisingly good.
Overflowing with delightful melodies and whimsical lyrics, Pretty.Odd makes for some great easy listening, but peters out slightly near the end.

Not as good as their debut, which was pretty okay. This is pretty not. Urie sounds like Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy, only slightly more annoying. The background music is still okay though. Nothing special here, but I hope they put out a better album next time around, Fever was quite enjoyable.

Panic At The Disco have taken the ! out of Panic. And for the better! What I'm saying is that this year's Pretty.Odd. is a much greater release than A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. The reason is simply because they were not afraid to try something new. I think that some bands should be inspired by Panic and not care about their radio play and charts. They shouldn't be pussy to try something different. The true fans are the ones that will stay with them all the way.
Pretty. Odd. has a very familiar sound. That sound is the Beatles. They have stopped the Fall Out Boy-like dance emo rock for teenage girls, and have changed to what is quite a good sound.
The strong tracks are Mad As Rabbits, Do You Know What I'm Seeing and Northern Downpour.
Thumbs up to Panic for this release. xD

Ooh, how sad. With AFYCSO, Panic! (I still refuse to drop the !) may not have garned any AMAZING reviews, but they pleased that fans and delivered a new brand of soft emo-metal. Here, they seemed to have sold out to the critics. Essentially, it's like Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band for the modern generation. Now, I HATE the Beatles so I hate this, but it seems such a shame that last summer they had an albums worth of material, then just scraped it and went in a new direction. A new, terribly boring, direction. What a shame.
