Intro
3 more. That's it. I'm so close to being done with Panic. The last one was awful but I know this album, and its not THAT bad. I don't want to stall so lets get into the review.
Thoughts & Feelings
This album makes me feel like I got locked at a roller skating rink in 2017 when they played "white girl pop" on loop. I don't know man I don't like this genre outside of TOP. Anyways I don't hate this album so here we go.
Smash or Pass?
Victorious - SMASH. THIS SONG DOESNT SUCK I FORGOT IT OPENS WITH A BANGER. THIS IS GREAT. This album has a chance to be the best so far. 10/10.
Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time - Smash. The rock lobster opening is cool but other than that this is just a standard pop song. Its not bad but far from my favorite.
Hallelujah - Smash. Again its nothing special but it could be worse. Its just boring decent pop music.
Emperor's New Clothes - Pass. Its not the worst thing ever but nowhere near the last few in terms of quality and sound. Worst so far.
Death of a Bachelor - Smash. This song is obviously iconic but its pretty overrated. Its not bad its just slow and a tad boring. The vocals sound off and the instrumental is rough. This sounds like jazz pop.
Crazy = Genius - SSMMASSSH. This sounds like Ska and I'm impressed. This doesn't suck that bad. Honestly this is the best so far. Just fun and catchy.
LA Devotee - Smash. Another boring standard pop song. Not bad but this is getting old. Shark loved this one apparently, I don't get it.
Golden Days - SMASH. This one is much better. THERE IS GUITAR I CANT BELIEVE IT. Yeah this slaps.
The Good, the Bad, and the Dirty - Smash. Strong start but got old fast. Again, its not bad its just so formulaic now its boring. The lack of ghost-writing shows on this one.
House of Memories - SSSSSSMMMMMMAAAAAASSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH. Yup. This one. Its one of those "guilty pleasure" songs for me. The vocals are so good and the lyrics are memorable and catchy. The instrumental is great and the minor mode is just so emotional and works perfectly on a song like this.
Impossible Year - Pass. And here we go an awful ballad to close off what was a pretty sloid album. The vocals sound like Urie tried to sing opera and failed. This is bad.
Conclusion
This album is bipolar. Its got some real bangers and some real garbage. After doing Black Parade I felt this was the perfect time to do this album and I'm glad I did because I've got the next few reviews planned out. Possibly some Breaking Benjamin?? Who knows, well I do but fuck you. Also just realized I kept this review clean until that. Wow. The fuck happened I didn't swear at a Panic album I'm scared. Oh well lets get to the rank.
RANK: B-
This wasnt too bad. Surprised I didn't swear that actually shocked me. As always thanks for reading and feedback is appreciated. New reviews should be coming more frequently now.

I didn't swear enough in this one so fuck you Brendon Urie.
