Panic! at the Disco Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!
Let me start by saying that Panic! at the disco is my childhood band (since I was 13 I listened to them) and as I was growing up they grew up too. From the emo-punk sound of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out to the nostalgic aura of Pretty Odd and passing to a sort of comeback to the punk-pop scene with Vices and Virtues, Panic! At the disco (sometimes without the !) experimented changes that always made them interesting for a newer audience and their all time die hard fans... And that brings me to their newest change and their newest album "Too weird to live, too rare to die".

Their new album is all about Brendon Urie, the lead vocalist and the only remaining founder member of P!AtD, like in previous work he tells a sort of story into the songs mixing lyrics and sounds to create an ambience. And it delivered fantastically! You can understand some views of him regarding love, abandonment and compromise and their negative counterparts. The album is that, Brendon's Urie concience singing his memories and thoughts.

But what about the sound of the album? is it catchy? fast? slow? Let's say it varies from song to song, but most of them are upbeat and danceable songs and the interpolation between instruments and voice is very well done so you'll never try to figure it out what he said. But if it's have to be reduced to a genre, it draws heavily on pop and electro sounds.

Instruments now! This album range from a heck of a lot of instrument played into each song! We have songs where the drums are the main thing ("girls/girls/boys"),another where the synth and electro sounds are really heavy ("Far too young to die"), the piano and orchestra like instruments (cello, violin, etc) are the main protagonists ("The end of all things") and finally the song where it fuse almost every instrument and sound forming into one ("Casual Affair") awesome and very creative song.

P!AtD was always a stapple of creativity and transformation, and this studio album shows the fruits of a genius musician after all the things happened.

In conclusion:It keeps impressing... And that's the most important thing.

3.5 great
