Is obviously by Panic At The Disco.
But I should probably say it just in case.

Have even one of you heard it? [x
I think you should at least try it out, if not.
It's way different than their other album, so it's definitely possible that you could like this one!
I was really [pleasantly] surprised by it.
And it doesn't sound at all "emo" so maybe they'll stop being called that.
Or maybe that's just me.

Well, anyway, here are my favorite songs from the album. ^^

Do You Know What I'm Seeing? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSpU-bxgTtU)
That one just makes me happy. For some reason.

That Green Gentleman (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP4X-w1V0aU)
I think this one may just be easy to relate to. Either way, I adore it.

She Had The World (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bg3-X9t7GCI)
The one from my signature. Heh.
Oh, it's one of the ones Ryan sings in, too. I love his voice. O.O

I Have Friends in Holy Spaces (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLxs_jDZvvo)
Lyrics by Brendon instead of Ryan.
Oh, and out of all the songs on the album, I love how this one sounds the most.

Behind The Sea (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YubZb0dozac)
Sung mostly by the lovely Mr.Ryan Ross.
And obviously amazing.

Okay, so I think that's enough. I have more favorites than I thought.
Not that I don't love the songs not included...but that's obvious. Right?

Oh, and here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCto3PCn8wo)'s the video for Nine In The Afternoon!
If you haven't seen it yet.
It's completely amazing. And they actually look really happy.

P.S. "Your eyes are the size of the moon" = Awe.

P.S.S. Sorry, you guys will probably just be all "Whatever" but I couldn't resist at least saying something. This is my new favorite album, definitely. And I only point these things out to you because I love you so much and want you to have a chance to enjoy the things I really really love. Whether you will or not. Why not try?

Edit: Oops, I forgot.
Behind the Sea has a line that offended my friend Allison. O.O
Just so you know.
Okay, I'll just say; it's just
"We're all too small to talk to God...yes, we're all too smart to talk to God."
I just don't want to offend anyone else. I hate people being mad at me. >__>
Sorry if I did. I don't find it a big deal...but...

They have really weird titles, but I like the songs. They're good.

Behind The Sea is my favorite.

Pretty good. Less 'pop'y then their previous stuff.

"The new Panic At The Disco album is SO GOOD. They took away the exclamation mark and all the electronic stuff. They're like the new Beatles" is what pretty much made me not get it.

poisonedcandy_X
04-08-2008, 08:46 PM
Ah, don't listen to what other people say. ^^
I read a lot of reviews for it before I bought it.
They were all bad. And I was worried.
It taught me not to listen to what other people think of things before I judge them myself.
I mean, first of all, I bet those people could never make anything nearly half as good.
But also...the album is amazing. They're all insane. O.O

For some reason I actually liked the old stuff better... but I can see why people would like the new album.

04-08-2008, 11:33 PM
Well, I completely adore both.
The first is at least a very close second in my list of favorites. They're kind of tied. [:

Wow, they actually don't sound annoying anymore. They sound kind of like the beatles mixed with snow patrol.

Well, I never thought they sounded annoying. But yeah.
I think I agree more with Patrick.
This album is just more fun, and more of an assortment of lots of good things.

It's not bad. It seems like a lot of bands are taking fashion tips from Ok Go but I might be disillusioned somehow.

Anyway, the music is pretty good. It's not my favorite because I've been deviating into musical tastes recently that are basically on the opposite end of the spectrum from PATD, but I can still say it's not bad. At least, it isn't so generic that it makes me roll my eyes, which is more than can be said for a lot of popular music.

As a side note, it always bothers me to see people literally worship bands (not saying anyone does) because I can only imagine what it's doing to the band's ego.

This is so trying to sound indie. God damnit it's gross. You can't try to sound indie, thats not indie at all.

Once you realize that you are indie, you cease to be indie

Saying the word indie isn't indie either. Only those who aren't indie, are.

Hey, that means I'm indie!
Oops, not anymore.

P.S. I don't think they're trying to sound indie. >__>

Indie is just something that happens, and other people say it behind your back.

04-18-2008, 03:35 PM
I don't even know what exactly makes people call you that!

People call me "scene." >__>
The people at my school, I mean. Or "emo."
But the people who actually know me are like "wow, no you're not."

Labels. Ew.

Natus Lumen

Ew is right. Mankind would be nowhere without them.

I don't like people calling me. I ask my mom to tell them that I'm in the shower, usually. Unless it's someone like Becca, Shelby, Michael, or Matty.

'Cept I think one time Amber said you were in the shower when I called. ;D

So far what I've heard from Pretty. Odd. Hasn't caught my attention like their first album. It's not as catchy, and it kinda...mm, I dunno. Doesn't go there for me. I still like his voice though.

04-24-2008, 10:46 PM
I must have actually been in the shower then, silly.

P.S. I feel too dizzy to type anything long. So I'll reply to the rest later. D:

Usually the albums that I don't like or think are boring at first are the ones that eventually end up as my all time favorites.... if you like it right away then it's no fun, you have no where to go :)

MeTal CaNdYcaNe
04-25-2008, 10:53 PM
That's a great point.


I have a couple of artists like that, but most of them were like "These guys ROCK" and they've stayed that way. but still.

Actually I was just sick. But all the dude at the hospital said was that it was "kidney related." And he gave me lots of medicine. :/

Anyway, guess what?
I stayed at the hospital until 8:00 in the morning.
Then I got home and slept for a while.
Then I got up and went to see Panic! Really. ^^

I didn't get to meet them though, but I swear to eventually.
I met their body/security guard Zack, though!

It was kind of embarrassing. It was like this, basically:

[Me and Amber are walking past him]
Amber: Is that Zack? Oh...no...it's not.
Me: Amber, it is! Duhh...
-I glance at Zack and he's smiling sideways at me-
Amber: -doesn't hear me of course-...WHAT?
Me: -whispers- It is...
Zack: -nods- Are you guys trying to figure out if I'm Zack or not? I am.
Me: Ummmmm...I know!
Zack: Yeah. I'm pretty much a big deal -laughs-.

And I didn't even get a picture. Psh. But I will next time.

Anyway, my pictures are kind of blurry! But I'll post a few of my favorite's here.
After all, they're on-topic. Right? Right.

Ryan and Brendon. In that order. But I know you know that. [;

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x245/longlivethecarcrashhearts_X/Panic%20Show%20April%2026%2008/IMG_3619.jpg
Ryan and Jon.

Brendon...I don't know. Doing something cute.
With Jon. Oh, and a little of Spence in the background [it was so hard to get him].

http://i183.photobucket.com/albums/x245/longlivethecarcrashhearts_X/Panic%20Show%20April%2026%2008/IMG_3609.jpg
The best I could get with all of them.

P.S. This will take two posts. Sorry. =X

Okay, just a few more. ^^
Trust me; I'm cutting out a lot. Sorry anyway though!

Probably my favorite of Ryan and Brendon.

Brendon looks really scruffy in the first one. XD

Sounds like you had fun though! I'm glad. How're the ol' kidneys right now?

(I think I'm just gonna call the 'the kids' from now on.)

When she's not feeling well she can listen to Blink 182 - Stay Together For The Kids.

I think he looks perfectly adorable. ^^
Of course! I had tons of fun. It was perfect.

Um, they're...like they usually are, I guess. They get better and worse regularly. Maybe it's good that I'm in the process of getting a new doctor.

P.S. I found a few videos from my show. [:

Behind The Sea. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=m2FHaedDFuc)
A lot of them being their usual silly selves + Mad As Rabbits. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=f4X5iLGE9L0)
Northern Downpour --P.S.I love Brendon's tendency to say random cute things--. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=hL-65EkQrGE)

I was thinking I liked this one more for like, the hour and a quarter it took to play through, but now it's pretty obvious they suffered the sophomore jinx. The first was better/ more memorable.

poisonedcandy_X
05-03-2008, 07:58 PM
Hmmm. Well, that's really just your personal opinion, though. Not to be rude.

But Patrick, Amber and I have listened to it countless times.
None of us are tired of it yet. ^^

And I still prefer it over their first album.

P.S. Their new video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42kw-pbclvM) is finally up!
I pretty much love it. And it's certainly "pretty" and "odd."

Supa Fool
05-04-2008, 09:07 PM
So why is their security guard a "big deal"?

poisonedcandy_X
05-05-2008, 04:34 PM
Oh, he was just being silly.
I think he's amazing, though.

"You must not try to crawl on the tables. The reason we have made this rule is because some fans-you probably know them-are creepy! They want to be close to the guys. They want to touch them. And they do really weird things."

That just makes me laugh. My new dream is to hear him yelling what not to do when I meet them at me. Sounds pretty perfect. I should have followed him around instead of getting shy, because I know this one girl who did and he gave her meet and greet passes. Of course I hear all these stories later. But still.

The only bad thing is that he won't let you hug them.
But that actually makes me happy. Even if it's also disappointing.
I'd rather he be very, very careful to keep them safe than, you know, me getting a hug.
"People think hugs are for love – No! Hugs hurt people!"

Really though, gosh. I love Zack. (http://youtube.com/watch?v=A-E-tFvzg5E)

P.S. He still scares me. If you break his rules he kicks you out of the meet and greet, takes your concert ticket, and he says that if it's really bad he'll take a picture of you and you'll never go to another Panic show as long as he works for them.

But hey, anything to keep them safe. I bet the kids he threatens with all that don't even think twice about harming the boys, which has happened in the past.

The only thing I would have to be careful of is not telling them that I love them [which goes with the "things not to say" list, including such things as "Wanna go to dinner?" and "I want to have your babies."] Of course, I wouldn't mean I loved them like that. They're just my idols. And finally meeting them...I'd just have to be careful.

Okay, sorry for the double post. Ahead of time.
But I posted already so nobody will even see this if I just edit. Right?

So they finally uploaded a clearer version of That Green Gentleman (http://youtube.com/watch?v=3f3K2sEHuIM). And I am in love with it. Absolutely in love. ^^

Also, do you guys think they totally copied the Beatles?
Because I've been hearing that a lot. But I don't really see it.

MeTal CaNdYcaNe

"I like them, but PATD are NOT the Beatles. They were better when they had their own style."

Well said.


AHAHAHA, I didn't see that in your post 'til just now.
