Panic! At The Disco - Pretty Odd

For a second, forget everything you already know about Panic At The Disco. That means forgetting that the band's 2005 debut A Fever You Can't Sold Out has sold over 2.2 million copies to date; that their video for "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" became a #1 hit on MTV and snagged one of the network's video music awards for best video in 2006; and, finally, erasing from your mind all of the sold-out clubs the band have played over the past three years and the ubiquity of Panic At The Disco's music—and mugs—on radio stations, television programs and magazine covers all over the world.

These days, a sensation like Panic At The Disco is something extremely rare and impossible to invent and for those two reasons alone, most bands in their position would stick to the same signature sound for their second disc. However, Panic At The Disco aren't like most bands. Instead, the band—guitarist Ryan Ross, drummer Spencer Smith, vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Jon Walker—decided to make the album they wanted to make for their sophomore release. While the album is equally as catchy and infectious as their debut, Pretty. Odd. sees the band digging through their parents' record crates to craft an expansive pop album that channels the ghosts of Brian Wilson and the Beatles as well as lesser-known pop sensations like the Zombies. However, for a while even the band weren't sure if Pretty. Odd. would ever come to fruition.
