warning brendon mention + also excessive usage of brackets and like no punctuation/formatting except for paragraph breaks iM SORRY
sick and tired of ppl saying panic went to shit after ryan and jon left like yes it downgraded (compared to afycso my fave album from them) B U T ian (even tho he was only there for a few years) and dallon (who stayed on til 2017 oh how he put up with a lot of bs over the years) rlly kept it from tanking in those key years imo
like dallon is credited w writing most of v&v (with the exception of "nearly witches" - ryan wrote that) and all of twtltytd (is that even the album name idk i dont rlly listen to post ryan panic sorry not sorry) and he played bass not only for the end of pretty odd touring but also as part of the band til 2015 and then continued touring til 2017 (plus apparently brendon stopped him from releasing a song w 21 pilots which is actually why im writing this lmfao) like
dallons writing was on a similar level to ryans and it feels mean/unfair to reduce those albums that he did write to "shit" bc ryan wasnt there
and yes doab has a couple of bops (crazy = genius and also la devotee imo) but overall they dont cancel out what is mostly a shit album (ok yes dont threaten me w a good time is okay too but he did NOT make those high heels work good lord) esp cause there were literally none of the ogs except brendon on that)
and ofc pftw is ass if i ever hear high hopes or hey look ma i made it i actively try and leave wherever i am (they fucking played high hopes at a skate night i went to WHEN I WAS COSPLAYING RYAN ROSE VEST)
also side note fuck u brendon for continuing to play camisado after ryan left even tho it was like the one song he asked you to stop performing it cause it was rlly personal to him AND YOU DIDNT LISTEN (ofc all the songs were personal to him but camisado was one of the ones that he specifically drew on his experiences w/ his father to write)
also side note 2 imo panic died when spencer left (2013) but was temporarily revived til dallon left (2017) and brendons been dragging its corpse around for the last 6 years. and idc what anyone says the touring artists he played with do not count as panic cause no offence but like their title says theyre TOURING ARTISTS (like how dallon didnt consider himself a part of panic when he was touring w em til they asked him officially and then when he "stopped contributing creatively" - his words) like i rlly doubt ppl can name them off the top of their heads (altho theyre underappreciated for dealing w brendon)
if you've read this far PLEASE feel free to comment (? is taht what its called here) and/or reblog w ur additions/opinions im fairly open-minded abt others ideas!
my issue with pray for the wicked and viva las vengeance as albums is not that they’re terrible or sound bad, they do well enough and they sound like any other generic pop album but in the same breath that is ALSO my issue.
those two albums, at least to me, do old panic! so dirty. because they sound so GENERIC. paramore switched genres as a band (and also hayley williams’s solo work) but they still had feelings behind their songs!!! old and new panic sound different and that’s FINE, but where is the SOUL? where is the FEELING? it’s not just that brendon urie sounds bad or good it’s that brendon urie produced two albums that don’t invoke any type of feeling in me, when the most forgettable songs off of pretty odd, vices and virtues, or a fever you can’t sweat out still made me FEEL SOMETHING!!!
Helluva boss and hazbin hotel honestly have such different vibes and the only way I can describe it is that Hazbin is a fever you can't sweat out and Helluva is death of a bachelor
Finally got to framing my DOAB shirt I’ve had for a really long time, it’s not the best, but it works. I can’t wait to get some posters and stuff to make my wall look even cooler. It would look sick with a Vices poster on the other side or something
I can’t believe this damn shirt has stayed with me since middle school, I’m shocked I never got rid of it during my getting rid of all of my old hyperfixations phase, lol
My original plan was to put two posters on either side, but honestly like two shirts or something would look sick
