Brendon had to play the guy with confidence and cockiness to sell the band after the split, the whole fake it until you make it advice he always gave, from a guy who struggled with depression and anxiety and it took years to feel comfortable in his skin. It’s kinda funny to me that people actually believe he’s an egomaniac in real life.

My little sister just shouted “oH ITS SATURDAY NIIIIIIIGHT” from upstairs

It is not, in fact, Saturday night. She also didn’t hit the high note

I don't trust anything Or anyone, below the sun I don't feel anything At all

King of the Clouds, Panic! At The Disco

[black-ston3s]

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!!!

This is everything I ever wanted

Also I should mention my Spotify wrapped from last year

[vengeancevixen]

We’ve been blessed with so much great music!! Panic! At The Disco swore to shake it up and we swore to listen!

Thank you, P!ATD! Thank you, Brendon, for your love and devotion for this band. What a ride!!!! What a beautiful legacy!

[im-literally-so-dun]

Me whenever I’m at a social event: Wow, Brendon Urie knew what he was talking about when he said “I wanna go home”

[spignerd]

Panic at the disco… my angel….

Possibly an unpopular opinion regarding Panic! at the Disco:

Viva las Vengeance would not get nearly the amount of hate it does if it was done by someone else or done as someone's debut album.

There are some moments where you can kinda see what they're going for, but it's lacking in passion and Brendon Urie's voice isn't/wasn't what it used to be so it fell flat. And then there's all of the controversy around Brendon himself which also dragged him down (which is a whole other issue).

The album is very scattered and not quite sure what it wants to be; like a lot of musicians trying to find their footing and what works for them. I've always gotten debut vibes from the album; and I think if some up and coming artist was given this it would've been considered a decent first try, and some songs like Don't Let the Light Go Out likely could've become popular hits. It definitely did not feel like the album was written for someone who's been in the spotlight for nearly 20 years.

I don't think a different artist would have made this a Grammy worthy album, some of those songs are ROUGH (*cough cough* Middle of a Breakup *cough cough); but I believe that it would receive significantly less hate if Panic! wasn't attached to it. Yes, there are a lot of bad lyrics, but soundwise it wasn't horrible and one of the biggest issues this album had was Brendon Urie's fried vocal cords and the attitude he seemed to have during the whole era. The promotion felt rushed and any videos I saw of him from this era just seemed like he was on autopilot; and let's not forget the abrupt retirement announcement with less than a month of the tour left.

Overall, Brendon's controversies, attitude, and weakening vocals were the biggest contributions to the legacy of panic at the disco going out with a fizzle.

Ryan Ross could’ve written fight club but Chuck Palahniuk couldn’t have written a fever you can’t sweat out
