Panic at the Disco! burst into the mainstream music scene with their single I Write Sins Not Tragedies in January of 2006. Out of Las Vegas the band is comprised of Brendon Urie and Spencer Smith. In July of 2009 the bands two other members, Ryan Ross and Jon Walker left the band stating creative and ambitious differences. According to their official website, "Though the four of us have made music togeth
er in the past, we’ve creatively evolved in different directions which has compromised what each of us want to personally achieve." Personally, I feel they did great together. The band released their first major label album in 2005 entitled "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" and three years later realease "Pretty. Odd." which reached top 2 on the billboards. I consider myself to be a good fan because I have seen them perform live atleast 5 times. And I can tell you that I only do that for my top favorite bands. Every show is full of energy and Urie's engaging bounciness and odd faces.They were initially discovered by Pete Wentz, famous bassist of band Fall Out Boy. Wentz took the band on as their project and they soon released their hit, "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies." When they first burst onto the scene there was hardly a band like them. Though many either love or hate the band, I find that their instrumentals mix well with Urie's vocals to make a unique sound of baroque pop punk and emo. The lyrical quality is fantastic and articulate:

The lyrical quality is fantastic and articulate: It's these substandard motels
On the corner of 4th and Freemont Street
Appealing, only because they're just that unappealing
Any practiced Catholic would cross themselves upon entering
The rooms have a hint of asbestos
And maybe just a dash of formaldehyde
And the habit of decomposing right before your very eyes
Along with the people inside
What a wonderful caricature of intimacy
They are unique. Their sound is different. So why did they split? We'll never know. During their reign on the main stream network they gained great recognition. Their shows would sell out and they were constantly on the radio. After they produced their second album, which was vastly different from their first, interest died out in fans. Maybe it was the difference that made them die or maybe they were just a one hit phenomenon. Either way the band has officially split and does not seem to be on the rise in their career.
Since Ross and Walker's departure I have not had much a desire to see them. Ross al
ways added character with his crazy make up and I cannot seem to appreciate bands with only two members. I will say that "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" and "Pretty. Odd." are great C.D.'s and personal favorites of mine. Some songs to pay attention to are Its Time To Dance, But It's Better If You Do, When The Day Met The Night, and She Had the World.
