I think it WAS a brave move and hopefully it's going to pay off. It's a brilliant album that's got a lot of people talking. So what if it loses them the little fans who won't accept they've changed and grown? They're definitely going to gain some new ones and hopefully a lot more of the respect they deserve!

I used to love panic at the disco's songs but now there getting annoying and all seem the same.

well its lives up to its name. Pretty. Odd. but it not necessarily a bad move, but it will get some people talking.

I was disappointed to begin with but after a few listens I'm pleased. I think Panic have matured as a band and this is only the start of it!

Changing your style is always a risky move as you never know how fans are going to take it. But many bands have successfully done it in the past like blink-182 growing up its all apart of progression as musicians.

I listened to the album and tbh i think its amazing
so what if it isn't like what people class as "alternative" music, these guys are good at making this music
which is shown by all their fans
no way is it a career "suicide" at all
keep up the good work guys (Y)

i love this idea that they have done, its new and different. but still is the same sort of stuff as what they did on their old album. personally i love it!

Pretty Odd; the Perfect name for such a PANTS Albumn. I mean, if they did make good music in the first place, then maybe they would have carried on making good music, instead of pure shite. Seeing as the first albumn was rubbish, they're just doing a even worse follow up. I don't know what the fuss about P@TD! is, as i think we need to re-introduce the Punk Scene. Plenty of Punk bands deserve a chance, rather than the mainstream crap everyone is happy to listen to!

I think it was a brave move and its apid off. The new material really has stepped it up another level in terms of catchiness.

I think its extremely brave of them to attempt a completely different style of music, theres probably a lot of fans that dont know what to make of it. its not rock exactly but it sure is amazing! Ive never listened to something like this album before. I think they'll pick up new fans as well as keeping their old ones. They're just attempting something new.

I think that when a band brings a new sound to a new record..it just shows where they are at that point in time...I don't see any negativity in making music that they feel represents them best. I definitely think they bring a whole lot more to think about and relate to than they did on their first record. The sound of 'Nine in the Afternoon' kind of brings you to a more epic, fantasy place.. and I for myself know that I love a song to make me imagine and sort of daydream..and thats what they did on this new record. I think as long as they make music that makes them happy and has heart, that's all that should matter..it's brilliant. x

this style they're trying to resuscitate is so worn out and stale. of course theres going to be all the fans who will devour anything they put out, so it doesnt matter anyway.

It was a brave move, as they had the risk of loosing fans e.t.c, but luckily for them, no matter what they do , everyone still loves them. However, im not seeing much of a difference with this album.

..Well, Avenged Sevenfold Pulled It Off.
Yet. yet gained and lost fans.
Panic at the disco might as well try it, although every album gets mixed reviews...
So let em go for it!

Lets hope its career suicide. Nobody cares for the 60s. Ive never been a fan of Panic! but this album is a even low for them.

well to be honest i have never thaught panic were good and would love to see to see them in a brawl against machine head that would be the only time panic at the disco would make me smile

i think its an awesome change as if they kept doing that sound people would just get bored of them anyways. And who really wants the same thing twice anyways!

I think it was brave of them too change their style like that for the upcoming album, pretty.odd. Personally, i think it will sell well and the fans that have supported them through the years will carry on to do that and appreciate the bands music. Good luck Panic.

NOo.
Panic at the party or whatever are not being 'brave'.
They're being gay.
Their music has never been that good, but now its gone worse.
and please tell them to stay away from the all-in-one body suits.

That is all.

I think they wanted a diffrent flavour to the album. they are a very big band and this will pay off. once the fans know they are true fans they will love this album. the more people get into the album the more good responses for the album they will get. they wanted a change they wanted there musical influences involved. they wont get as far has having a few thousand fans. it will not get that far for them. i keep playing the songs over and over and im not bored of it.i only got into panic at the disco a few weeks ago and i love them already i get into albums very quickly. im sure every fan will love 1 song or another cause i do. and hopefully it wont get that far has them losing their fans and credit.

Well Panic, have never been one to do things 'normaly' They had a VERY ambitious debut album, and I believe this is just the follow up. Destained for success.
It was a brave move. But if it wasnt... It wouldnt be possible to beat "Fever..."

you know what i think?

i think more bands should be like them, they're doing music that other bands wouldn't even dream of doing and too many bands are being the same old shit.

i think people should be happy at least one band are trying to do something different for once!!

I have noticed that some American bands have been moving that way, you never know it could be the next big thing. Career Suicide NO if it work then great, if not there is always the next album!

If they are making music thats true to whats in their hearts. Then they did the right thing. There would be no point in them making another version of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.
Just proves that they are not in the business to make money. Which makes them a winner in my eyes!

I am a massive Panic fan
And they've pulled this off
Its so awesome
they risked loosing everthing,
but i dont think they will.
They're still the same band!
And this album is going to be really successful...

I think it is brave. The music style will just become another trend for scene kids to follow, but it will eventually result in career suicide. This will be something that fans will get bored of very quickly. This whole thing reminds me of jelly beans...

I actually think that the new Panic songs are really good. I like the fact that you can see the influences and you get the impression that the band are trying to push the boundries of their creativity. I was quite into the first panic album but i feel that this album will be more expressive and different. And as old is becoming the new new as different trends and fashions seem to be repeating themselves i should see no reason as to why this album shouldnt do well. Im sure people will respect/love the bands direction as its good for a change every now and then.

i think it was a brave and wise decision. something new needed to be done, and they're the ones that can pull it off, and pull it off well. they seem to be the kind of band that will always bring something new and inivative, thats why they have so many fans.

the album was definately a brave move cos change is good and if they didnt change people will start to get bored of the same music.

Whatever direction they take isn't a very good one.

Unless that direction is "Stop Making Music"

I think its a good album from what i heard so far :]
Im glad its kinda gone that way, its a different sound :]
Im sick of all these crappy bands that sound the same in every album that they ever make, i like the unexpected.
Good on them :]
You just have to remember lifes to short, you have to take risks sometimes, if it doesnt work out fair enough dont feel bad because at least you tried and lernt from it. When it does work out its awesome, and it at least your not sitting there saying what if i had just done that!

Is this Panic at the disco or The Beatles? They even recorded Pretty Odd at Abby Road! This may be new for Panic but it's not new in music.

pushing the creative boundries is what rock is all about! so many bands release the same drivel year after year. its good that panic are refusing to follow the trend!

Is this Panic at the disco or The Beatles? They even recorded Pretty Odd at Abby Road! This may be new for Panic but it's not new in music.

I think its a good album from what i heard so far :]
Im glad its kinda gone that way, its a different sound :]
Im sick of all these crappy bands that sound the same in every album that they ever make, i like the unexpected.
Good on them :]
You just have to remember lifes to short, you have to take risks sometimes, if it doesnt work out fair enough dont feel bad because at least you tried and lernt from it. When it does work out its awesome, and it at least your not sitting there saying what if i had just done that!

ive heard a few songs, sounds average at best., but i think its a bit too ambitious, ideas above their station, but then again if a band doesnt push its boundaries theres no point in being a band. still a pretty much a bunch of pretentious twats who rely on image more than music. much love jakx

okay so yeah i liked a few songs on the first album, but this album is dreadful, sounds the same, and just plain boring to be honest but there's so many fans which would say theyd love it if they put an album out with just silence on it.but id love it if they did that im sure it'd sound better

It probably was quite risky, but loyal Panic fans will stick with them. They have probably lost quite a few fans but they'll draw a whole new audience as well. Personally, I love it and I say good on them!

It was a brave move for them to make, and it certainly got them a lot of publicity, and probably a lot of new fans.

Its good that they are having a change of direction in their music, because so many bands stick to the same shit, album after album.

I think this is a brave move the the band as Panic! are known for doing strange and odd things, as known from their live set with their cabaret dancers. I've never really liked Panic! tat much, but i've eard a few songs off their new album and think they are actually quite good. So, good luck to them with this album!

Posted by Jordee | March 26, 2008 12:06 PM | Reply to this

It's awful, I'd like to hear what the album they threw away sounded like because honestly, it must be better than Pretty. Odd. Panic have two different kids of fans, loyal fans, and fans who are in it for the music, loyal fans are the ones that are too busy swooning over Ryan and Brendon to actually listen, I just hope that the ones that can use their ears can see what a pile of bollocks this is.

I LOVE the new album. On the first listen I was a bit confused but now I'm totally addicted. I think they were smoking weed when writing Pretty. Odd. but whatever it was, it paid off. It's completely different to AFYCSO but that's not a bad thing. It could easliy be 2 completely different bands. Pretty. Odd. is the best thing I think I'm gonna hear all year.

I think this was a great move to make most things now in the "scene" have become boring bands like panic at the disco are bringing some thing new they know they have nothing to moan about so they dont write about it the only problem is people who wont open there minds and give it a chance people all seem to be interested in one type of music and because they do they get stereo-typed if your n open minded person you'll love pretty. odd. if not then your pretty boring listening to the same old shit over and over again.

Pretty.Odd is a good album. It's a brave move for them as it's a completely different album to there last but I think it'll work. 9 in the afternoon is already doing well and it's doing well live. Aiden had a huge change in music for Conviction and Panic our just doing the same. The only thing that is career suicide is wearing pj's in there video. That made me laugh.

It's definitely not career suicide, I think that the album is fantastic! It's great to see bands making music for themselves, rather than just making the same crap that is all over mainstream radio. Even if you don't like the album, you have to admire their confidence in making such a different album. And I love it!

I think that the new album is great! It is a great mix of new songs! they are obviously not going to keep repeating what they did with 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' otherwise that would be boring, and would not keep the fans interested. Who would want to listen to the same type of songs over and over again?? They are obviously doing what they love and what the fans love them for, their music! Even if they have put a new twist in with what they are doing!

Good move by Panic. It gives listeners something new to listen to when bands and artists go in different directions with their music.

And 'Pretty Odd' is a fitting title for the album!

I think it is a necessary development. Who would have liked another "incorporation of emo-crazy techno style-too fast to sing live"-album?? What is wrong about trying out different stuff? Basically you just like it or not. I like them more now then i did before. For me they are more credible and "true" than on their first album.

this is one of the best albums ive heard so far this year. this is an extremely brave move for panic and, personally, i think this album will come off better than the last one because with "a fever ..." it was something that you ever loved or hated but with this album and with the timing of the release in the music industry, this is going to be a huge hit with panic and i personally cant wait to see them live, they are gonna be gamazing!

Posted by Danielle | March 26, 2008 1:09 PM | Reply to this

even heather mills knows the 60's has been "cool" for over 40 years so this can't be called a brave move, however the band now has to contend with the era that spawned the origins of almost every corner of rock that there is, i don't think there fan base will really be bothered i cant see the digging out old Who records and comparing them

I think it was a brave move because if they did the same type of music as 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out', it would get boring. Yeah that album was good, but it's nice to know that they're trying to do something different by taking a risk and write music for themselves and not just what people might want to hear or expect of them. I think a lot of people just don't want to admit they like it.

..there new album should be interesting..but to be honest..there not very original with the whole 'unexpected' thing...every band does it..they think there being interesting..but everyone always says 'i prefer the old original stuff' so why does every new age band have to try and create something different to what they started of with...
it's just gonna be another MCR thing all over again..and generally it is all just pretty odd.

I think Panic has made a great choice to change what they're playing. They couldn't have stuck with the style of music from 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' or it would have just been too repetitive. I have to admit their new songs are very different though and i wasn't a fan at first, but after going to their gig recently and hearing it live, i've become more fond of the songs. Panic has always been different, but atleast they aren't afraid to try something new.

Posted by Emily | March 26, 2008 1:18 PM | Reply to this

I think that it was a brave and good career move cause due to the 60's theme to it, it will hopefully turn the heads of an older audience and then it may lead to a wider age range in the fans. Panic will then have a bigger fanbase and its good that this album is different from ' A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' cause lets face it people get sick of hearing the same old stuff!

Posted by Lisa | March 26, 2008 1:22 PM | Reply to this

For a band this young and only a couple of years and two albums into their career, it's a fantastic record. Making an album so different to the first one must have taken a lot of guts and the result is impressive, even to someone like myself who wasn’t a big fan. The album is not flawless, but Panic are inventive and not afraid to step outside the box other people have created for them.

Posted by Brionny | March 26, 2008 1:26 PM | Reply to this

Although it was a brave move, it could possibly bring the band bad luck as a lot of fans may not like the new sound. however, true PATD fans will love it because it stays true to their roots as being a different type of band to every other band out at the moment. Brand new did the same thing and changed their sound every album and never had any negative effects, possibly growing their fan base instead, so hopefully the same thing will happen for PATD as the new album, although strange, is a good listen.

i think that this was a brave move for panic.

music is moving so fast these days, the guys have taken a step back and completely changed their sound! i think that people will love this new sound, it completely contrasts with anything out at the moment..music is always changing and i am glad that panic have taken a different route, it adds something fresh and new to the music industry!
as they have said it sounds like something you would be more likely to find in your dad's old cd collection...if it is...it means dad's have pretty.good taste!

i am all for it! all the fans out there who hate the new album...give them a chance and broaden your taste in music...it might just give you that something extra...maybe even make you smile!! xx

Its a brave move, therefore whether you love or loath them, you have to respect them for taking the risk. It will either pay off; challanging current fans, gaining new one and expanding the critical and musical appeal (see Underoath - Define the Great Line) or alienate and confuse an existing fan base, making them quickly change back to how they were, but better and wiser (see A Static Lullaby - Faso Latido)....or it will bomb so bad the band will break up. At the moment, i predict the static lullaby scenario tho, the 60s aint coming back.

I think it is a brave move for Panic. It's always good to try something new. Older fans of Panic might be dissapoined when they don't hear the Panic they fell in love with, But by doing this 60's thing might get them new fans. I have to admit, I do like the old stuff though.

I think it's a brave move but they going to lose lots of fans.
I personally wont buy the album, i never like Panic At The Disco, but they're brave or totally insane to record this cd.
either ones i hope for them that it wont be a career suicide, because even though i don't like them they do what they love and i hope for them that they going to do it for a long time.

It WAS a brave move for Panic but I don't see why they should be slammed for it; at least they're willing to try new things and step away from the 'emo' stereotype they've been branded with that everyone gives them shit for (which they never actually were to be honest).

And to the lot of you that are complaining: you whinge when bands make an album that sounds the same, you whinge when they take their music in a different direction; make up your minds!

I personally love the new album. It's good to go back to your roots and if Pretty.Odd exposes kids to music from the previous generations then what the heck is there to complain about? The album's fine the way it is; I think I'd have been deeply disappointed if they'd just done an updated version of Fever.

When I first heard Nine In The Afternoon I thought the boys had lost their edge. I was expecting more of their original, catchy lyrics, but after listening to it a few times it's began to grow on me. Sinse Panic had such a distinct sound to begin with I reckon the fans will support them as they begin to merge with other styles, after all, I've never heard anything like their original album, so why should their new one have to sound like it's over competitive clone?

I think it was a very brave, smart move. Panic are one of the few bands who are themselves, which is something people should admire instead of scorning. Too many people today are afraid to be who they really are and hide away behind a mask. Panic have the guts to stand out against that and that shows more guts than the stupid rockstars who throw tvs out of windows in an attempt to look good. I say well done to them.

Posted by Alex | March 26, 2008 4:12 PM | Reply to this

To the people that said "more bands should be like them" that is just saying every band should be the same and to be honest original bands are more likely to get anywhere. To the people that said "if you do not like the album you are not open minded" being open minded doesn't mean you LIKE EVERYTHING, it just means you dont restrict yourself to one genre of music, in regards to the album, at first i was like what the heck is this, the first three tracks i am very fond of and a few throughout the album but the majority of the album seemed to be more like filler. As the album was nearing the end of the eighth song i was thinking of how disappointed i'd be if the CD was only the common 11 tracks. It will probably take time to grow on me but im not saying it was career suicide, you have to create what you feel like creating and that is what i admired about panic at the disco.

Posted by Tiffy | March 26, 2008 4:14 PM | Reply to this

Sure, it was a brave move, but not necessarily a good one.. The first half of the album is utterly forgettable and, in parts, pretty dire - Nine in the Afternoon being a prime candidate.. So tragically commercial with none of the pleasant quirk we're used to. - in comparison to what we know they're capable of, and the entirety of Pretty. Odd (indeed an apt title..) is nowhere near as lyrically interesting as the first album, not in as striking a way anyhow. Even after a few listens, I haven't warmed to it particularly, which is a shame. Still, they gave something new a try, fairplay to them for that. On the whole though, it's a bit disappointing for an album that took so bloody long to make..

Posted by Missy | March 26, 2008 4:17 PM | Reply to this

i think it is brave and also is paying off. i cant really think of any bands that sound particularly like their awsome new sound. They're trying to be individual and you need individuality to be recognised in the music buisness. some bands come on the radio and your like ' its this band' then your friend will be saying ' no they definitly are this band!' and its an entirely different band. you want to be individual and have a immense new sound. i hope panic at the disco do well and i know they will get al lot more new fans! :^)

I don't think it's too brave because a 60's style isn't imaginative because it's simple and used regularily anyway so going back a few steps and calling it brave is stupid

I think they will loose some fans who like them for being more 'emo' but they might gain different fans. It's obvious they didnt like the label they were given so...they grew up.

I LOVE Pretty. Odd. It defiantly lives up to its name. Granted it did take a couple of listens to get into it but now I can't get the catchy tunes out of my head. I think it was an extremely brave move on their behalf. It would have been easy to write another album that sounded like their last one and do the same thing all over again. Credit where credit's due, it's an amazing sounding album. Long live Panic at the Disco

tbh, its not really a big deal.
they are never gonna please everyone,
some people want them to never change and some people would have a fit if they didnt change.
but its not brave, and i dont think its career suicide cos their proper fans will stick by them :)

Posted by Frankie | March 26, 2008 4:26 PM | Reply to this

ummm I think that there career never really kicked off properly. Yer they started off with a few cheesy hits such as "But it's better if you do" and "I write Sins Not Tragedies" that some people thought were ok but Quite alot of people will disagree but they never really produced any songs that are going to be remembered in the history of ROCK and GRUNGE. SO i think that they can release whatever they want. And to talk about there fans for it... some of there fans will leave due to it as not everybody likes 60's style music but if they truly have some die-hard fans then no they wont loose many.
As far as i am concerned they will never be up to the standard of:
1. Iron Maiden
2. Bullet For My Valentine
3. Nirvana
4. Motor head
5. Tenacious D
and other long living legends
KEEP IT LOUD
KEEP IT KERRANG!

Brave move. although it may lose the fans that like them being 'emo' the new album appeals to more of an audience and it's a good change for them. they have grown up so much

Posted by Amy | March 26, 2008 4:41 PM | Reply to this

I personally think that it's awesome that Panic are trying something new AND innovative; usually when bands claim that they're going in a new direction, they're just a bit heavier/poppier or more "mature" lyrically.

I think the boys did the right thing for them, they wanted to change their sound so that is what they have done with Pretty. Odd. However they will loose fans of their 'emo' stuff, but I believe that their loyal fans will stay in suipport of the band. I personally love A Fever You Can't Sweet Out AND Pretty. Odd.

A very brave move! Unfortunately, most of their old 'fans' will tell you that the only thing they liked about them was their techno-based songs (and Ryan's figure). Well, now Panic know their real fans - the ones who stuck around to hear the masterpiece that is Pretty. Odd.

Aside from the fact that Easter has made me associate Pretty. Odd. with an overwhelming urge to vomit, I adore it. It's a fantastic album. Not as good as Fever, but they could never beat that. The only suicidal thing they did was lose the exclamation mark. It makes my mothers mispronunciations about Cash! In The Attic far less amusing.

Posted by Sophie | March 26, 2008 6:05 PM | Reply to this

I think they have made a brave move, the problem is some people may like the new 60's style and may end up loving the album and finding it more interesting to listen too, but there may be some people that think the new style is out dated and think less of the album. So its in balance really some may love it, some may hate it. Thats the music business, however other bands have had a go at changing their style like Avenged Sevenfold's latest self titled album.

I think it's a good thing they've changed their style. Everyone needs a bit of variety, and besides, if bands don't change their sound often, people complain that they're boring. So you can't win either way really.

Posted by Caitlin | March 26, 2008 6:23 PM | Reply to this

Except we're going in a completely new musical direction and have taken the exclamation point out of our name.

However, I think Panic made the right choice..
Their new album is unlike anything on todays music scene, meaning once again Panic have created a unique, annoyingly catchy, and generally pretty odd album..

I think they should do what they thinks best for them really it's not up to us what they do! even though they might atract a different audience deppending on what they do or maybe keep the same! I don't know it's a bit like offspring really they made a change wich they thought was for the better and now look at them I think they were good then and then they changed and their still good so if P.A.T.D ever changed they could be still a good band!

I think it's an admirable move. They could've easily made 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' Part II, but they didn't. Even if the gamble doesn't pay off, Panic can still say that they made the album that they wanted to make.

I think it's a good move. Too many bands nowadays churns out boring and repetitive albums with sounds that have been done a million times before, for their whole careers. We need some variety is the genre and if it keeps everyone guessing, I applaude Panic.

P@TD have completely ripped off "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club Band" by The Beatles..now I'm not a big fan of The Beatles, but that album is damn good.
So all you fools praising them for being daring and not doing what other bands are doing...go listen to that Beatles album, then fall in love with THAT album, and not this re-hashed garbage by P@TD...no needs another Beatles cover band, there are enough of them already.

I loved the first album, and although Pretty.Odd. is very different, I still think they are an amazing band and I love how they are using different styles and more variety in their music. I think this was a brilliant move for them to make and I look forward to over listening to Pretty.Odd. in the near future.

I Think It Was An Amazing Move To Make! It Was Brave, Because Its A Make Or Break Situation! And Its Paying Off! Its An Awesome Album And May I Add Pretty Odd! To Be Perfectly Honest Its Original! Atleast They Arent Mainstreaming And Going With The Crowd! Which Is More Than I Can Say About My Chemical Romance At The Moment.

Bloodly brutal bravery i think.
Difference is what people are now attracted to and the last album did well but didnt they get shit for it or what?

Its a take take world.
Good on yah boys!

I don't think there was much of a difference in their music to be honest. It's still perky and fan-girls still love Brendon Urie in his PJ's. People who don't like them mightn't see much of a change, but I swear that song 'Nine in the Afternoon' is getting on my nerves... ¬¬"
But I guess its pretty different from other music and appeal to those who like them so I think it was a brave move for them.

Panic's last album suited the rock scene far better than Pretty. Odd, Despite this, Pretty. Odd will still be accented among us because of it's creativity, bravery and unique approatch to music. And, to many, that is what Rock is all about.

i think it was shit all happy and that really crap

Posted by lisha | March 27, 2008 9:53 AM | Reply to this

it was both. a brave move but also career suicide since i've heard many say they preferred their older stuff but no-one say they prefer their new album.

Posted by clara | March 27, 2008 10:02 AM | Reply to this

I say fair play to them for trying something new. Their new style shows that they're gifted and talented musicians and that they're confident in their band and music. I actually love 'Nine In The Afternoon'; it reminds me a lot of the Beatles whom I also love.

This is potentially an amazing move for the band and I wish them all the very best. They're keeping their audience on their toes and they're not afraid of change; that to me shows just how good a band is!

Keep up the fantastic work guys and I hope everything works out well.

I find it funny how the people calling the album shit weren't even Panic fans in the first place. Brave move that imo has paid off.

Posted by Gimms | March 27, 2008 12:01 PM | Reply to this

i hope it pays off

kuzz it sounds reely good

s not usualy what id go for but i reely like it

Posted by ME | March 27, 2008 12:19 PM | Reply to this

I love the new album and I don't really find it that different to the last one, it's still Panic and if you used to love them, you still should.

It nearly as dissapointing as minutes to midnight

Posted by hayley | March 27, 2008 2:07 PM | Reply to this

I'm not a big fan like i used too be, but their current new song 'Nine in the afternoon' is Pretty.Odd but i like it!Change is always good just look at Aiden and My Chemical Romance, they changed their music style but still have a good reputation!

Posted by Rachel | March 27, 2008 3:56 PM | Reply to this

I think they are brave trying a new style of music! There fans should be supporting the band's choice instead of complaining about how different the music is! Its always good to try different things and, even if it isn't their best stuff, it can only make them better!

Posted by Jellyfish | March 27, 2008 7:06 PM | Reply to this

I think this move is going to move their music in a new direction, but it's going to give to emo haters a lot more material to use against them,

Posted by Zowie | March 27, 2008 7:45 PM | Reply to this

I'm ashamed 'cause I haven't heard anything but Nine In The Afternoon. But that's because I'm waiting for the cd to arrive. I hope it's a brave move! In Panic At The Disco We Trust! xD

Posted by Elise | March 27, 2008 9:49 PM | Reply to this

i think they already sucked but now without all the computerimputted rave bits you can see how incredibly bad songwriters and preformers they are and it think it was just another money grabber and a waste of cd space in any music shop

Posted by Tom | March 27, 2008 11:10 PM | Reply to this

I Think Its A Brave Move As Most Bands Just Sick To Doing Just One Type Of Music Though There Whole Time Producing Music
So At Least There Trying And If It Doesnt Work They Wil Know Not To Do It Again And Can Try Other Things
There Dare Devels :]

Posted by Becky | March 28, 2008 12:49 AM | Reply to this

ii Think This Is A Great MOve From PATD i Like The Fact That They Are Trying All Types Of Diiferent Music And You Hardly Ever See THis Done Successfully.

Posted by Hattiiee | March 28, 2008 9:33 AM | Reply to this

well i really dont like the band but i do like the new song infact i have it stuck in my head right now, not heard the album yet but if its any thing like this single then its prob quite good compared to the other stuff they do.

^v^AZ^v^

Posted by Az | March 28, 2008 11:05 AM | Reply to this

Complete career suicide.
I thought, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" was a great, lively album, and to be honest i find most of "Pretty. Odd." to be a bit dreary.
Boo :(

Posted by Kelly D | March 28, 2008 12:36 PM | Reply to this

This album seems to be dividing some of the Panic fans, mostly becase, yes it is a big change from "A fever..." but whats the point in making another album exactly the same? No point.
Mcr did the same thing with "The black parade" and it turned out for the better. Panic know what they are doing.

Posted by Stephanie | March 28, 2008 2:06 PM | Reply to this

i think it was neither.panic are the most up themselves people ever,theyve followed in fall out boys footsteps and turned into a pop band.(okay they were abit already). so now the whole world will be humming their tunes. maybethey'll get loaded. frankly, i dont give a crap anymore. once i realised they couldnt give 2 shits about their fans.i'd just loveee to see them crash and burn.

I think its a great move! They should do what they want and what they feel like doing, its their band :]

At first I thought that the new direction with their music would be absolute rubbish and would fail but they have managed to pull it off. I was slightly sceptical when it recieved poor reviews but I've fallen in love with it and their new image. Definately a success in my eyes!

Posted by Chelsie. | March 28, 2008 6:14 PM | Reply to this

it was more hopeful than brave, but it definetly paid off. its a brill album

Posted by Alec | March 28, 2008 6:23 PM | Reply to this

I'd say career suicide is sticking by what you know. It's different, it's new, I'd say that's most important!

Posted by Heather | March 28, 2008 8:50 PM | Reply to this

I think it was quite brave, but personally i don't really like it compared to there old stuff.

I think that panic at the disco took a brave step forward with their new album Pretty. Odd. It sounds really good, and they are really lucky they managed to pull it off. I think only they could've done

Posted by pan | March 28, 2008 10:17 PM | Reply to this

this is a brave move because it is something different for panic!
although the album is exactly what it says on the tin
pretty.odd

Posted by JaY | March 28, 2008 11:07 PM | Reply to this

I dont think it a verry brave move but i dont think its a smart move eighther.
I loved Panic at the discos first album, but pretty odd is totally different and nowhere near as good.

Posted by Emma | March 29, 2008 1:09 AM | Reply to this

O dear look what they've done.

They are Pretty Odd for doing this, The act of crapping sounds better than this album.

Posted by sam | March 29, 2008 9:19 AM | Reply to this

Haven't really listened to it, but does anybody else think that Ryan Ross looks like a 5 year old?

Posted by bogies | March 29, 2008 1:43 PM | Reply to this

hopefully career suicide cause they are shit anyway

Posted by Sophiemaggot | March 29, 2008 3:10 PM | Reply to this

I think that this is brave move. Their new album is amazing and it have a different sound. Its great that they can change their music style and make album that is fresh and so brilliant. I love them.

Posted by Noora | March 29, 2008 3:41 PM | Reply to this

Panic, have taken a brave step in a new direction. It might not appeal to everyone, but In my personal opinion, Pretty.Odd, is well..pretty.decent

Posted by jessica | March 29, 2008 8:46 PM | Reply to this

i think its a brave move but i adore there old stuff.
i think album has lost the panic!
so they should brong back the ! and the hyperness!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm listening to it now,
it takes a while to get used to it, especially after the 'panic!' sound i'm used to.
but it's actually good [quite surprisingly]

Posted by kay | March 29, 2008 10:41 PM | Reply to this

the new album completely ruins what i thaught panic at the disco were!
old album is a keeper
new album should be thrown away!

Posted by pretty odd | March 29, 2008 11:32 PM | Reply to this

They made the right choice to change their sound but it takes a while to get used to, i saw them live in glasgow this month and they were amazing

Posted by sam | March 30, 2008 12:18 AM | Reply to this

I don't think its much of a brave mood.
Panic at the disco made pretty... odd. music before this album too. It was good then so it should pull off now aswell.

Posted by Lizy | March 30, 2008 4:13 AM | Reply to this

i used to like panic at the disco until they realised pretty.odd. . i think pretty odd is pretty crap tbh
panics "a fever you can't sweat out" was amazing but now pretty. odd. is just absoloute shite.

Posted by Sammy-Lee | March 30, 2008 1:14 PM | Reply to this

I don't see they shouldn't change there style of music. If they don't like the music they were playing then why shouldn't they change?. Besides I prefer there new stuff, its alot more guitar driven, not like there last album when its was full of violins and accordians...

Posted by Ben | March 30, 2008 8:39 PM | Reply to this

I think that as long as the guys of panic at the disco are happy with the music and passionate about the music they make then so be it.
I believe that releasing this album Pretty. Odd. shows that panic can appeal to a far wider audience.

Obvioulsly it WAS brave of them to do it. Whether it will be carrer sucide depends on who buys it. People will probally just buy it for nine in the afternoon...

Posted by shell | March 31, 2008 6:45 PM | Reply to this

I personally think its career suicide.

No rock fan wants to listen to a cheap rip off sound of 60's music.
And anyways.. their emo-like music was shit enough before all this.

panic's new album is amazing! more bands should really take account of what they do. panic at the disco are a truley amazing band who are obviously not afraid of doing something different. i salute them!
