Panic! at the Disco Discography: Originated in Las Vegas, NV First album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” Debuted in 2005.

Rock band Panic! at the Disco is back with their first album in three years. “Death of a Bachelor” was released Friday and experiments with mixing genres to provide the ultimate listening experience. Sticking to their roots, Panic! At the Disco starts “Death of a Bachelor” with an eerie but enjoyable track called “Victorious.” The song has a childlike start, with the first few lines accompanied by sounds of “London Bridge is Falling Down.” Lead singer Brendon Urie greets listeners with his familiar vocals: “Tonight we are victorious, champaign pouring over us, all my friends were glorious. Tonight we are victorious.” Although this song is sad, I like the lyrics the band uses to describe the bachelor’s pain. The album’s seventh track, “Golden Days,” is another song I took a liking to because I thought of it as an anthem for not only Panic! at the Disco as a band, but also for future generations. The song starts off with a soft piano and can be mistaken for a sad song. Panic! at the Disco uses “Golden Days” as a song for people of all ages to reflect and reminisce on the best days of their lives. It feels like you’re going through a time machine in a matter of three minutes. This song is beautiful and

Sold more than 2.2 Million copies. has a lullaby quality accompanied with an edgy rock, provided by Urie: “We’ll stay drunk, we’ll stay tan, let the love remain. And I swear that I’ll always paint you. Golden days.” “Impossible Year” is different compared to the rest of the songs on the album because it is sung in ballad form. Urie’s deep voice caught me off guard because I am so used to hearing him in upbeat songs. This song is beautiful and unlike anything I’ve ever heard from him before. The gentle trumpets which slowly fade at the end of the song make for an even more beautiful ballad. “Impossible Year” was a memorable ending to the 11-track album because it showcased the range and maturity of Urie’s vocals. Overall, Panic! at the Disco’s “Death of a Bachelor” is very good. I am not an avid fan, but I do enjoy listening to their music from time to time. This album is different from their past records because the band is experimenting with different sounds and mixing different genres of music. I think this album is the band’s way of attempting to reach out to a wider audience, and so far, they are doing a great job.
