It’s the sad truth that took many too long to realize. Brendon is in no way a bad artist, but Ryan’s poetic lyrics is what made this fanbase what it is in the beginning. If Ryan wasn’t there, panic probably would’ve been put in the same conversation as like maroon 5
The poetic lyricism is what makes me struggle to understand the bad critic ratings. You take that first album and compare it to anything else mainstream past 2010 and it’s clear that album had such character.
Not the lyrics at all. What made them successful is that the music from the first record was amazing from beginning to end. Every subsequent album had no more than one good song
Night and day difference between Maroon’s vocalist and Brendon. Brendon is far superior without a doubt. Panic’s composition is way better as well. But that’s just a matter of opinion.
Plus there have been many singers that guess what? Don’t write their own lyrics. There still is today. Ryan is gifted; but come on now
so we were gonna pretend that death of a bachelor wasn't a successful album?
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out will always have a special place in my heart
Hell yes. Fantastic album
The other albums had some good songs, but tbh, I kinda feel like Panic! was just riding the wave of success from AFYCSO.
No- it’s better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.
Are you just chiming in ?
@@corystephenson577haven’t u ever heard of
Closing a ---damn door no
They are the e definition of the “you just had to be there,” type of band. I know Brendon is still performing as Panic but it’s really just his solo project.
I think the """band""" disbanded earlier this year. And an offhand Instagram post by one of the touring members implied Brendan was kind of a dick
Panic broke up lol
He was. Brendon retired the "Panic! At The Disco" name
They “broke up”
@@TotoOrlanski Its like if you make a ship and everything has been replaced but one section *Brendon*. It aint patd.
Let’s not skip over the fact that bands often take a decade to get any real recognition while simultaneously growing as individuals and as a group, PatD had no such development and were thrown into the spotlight extremely quickly. Their “downfall” was on public display whereas this often happens in private, long before any public eyes. Many bands come and go in this way before anyone even knows who they are. PatD were just a set of kids who didn’t have it in them to survive a decade of graft before another decade of fame. There’s no shame in that whatsoever. They had an amazing run. They achieved huge success in half the time only a tiny number of bands ever see.
I don't care what anyone says: that first album was a f'ing BANGER. When I think back to 2006 (which is when I first heard it) driving around listening to that album is a huge part of it. I also enjoyed their 2nd album, even though it was quite the jolt at first listen. Every album after that I listened to at least once but nothing came close to those first two for me.
A Fever You Can’t Sweat out will always be PATD’s masterpiece. They had some good songs after, but no other album could match the magic.
I honestly had no idea it was reviewed so badly. I hope those people lost jobs because this album was inescapable.
Same. And that was in my hipster-thinking phase, ha. I played the MySpace demos constantly, then loved that album, then I heard the most popular girl in the school singing their song and it massively turned me off lmao.
By the way one of my friends called that 2nd album "a blatant rip-off of the Beatles" haha
I always appreciated bands like PatD for incorporating elements of theater and fantasy into their music and motiffs. Music boxes, circuses, folk music, dollhousex, cabaret, Tim Burton, Masterpiece Theater, Sgt. Peppers, etc, all these elements mixed together to create a sense of whimsy. I am reminded of a line from one of my favorite video game characters:
"The world is cruel. It doesn't have to be ugly."
Ew lol
@@joshwalters3178 I don't play lol. I just like the character.
@@JP-1990 😂 all good man lol, I’m just being dick. Like what you like brother.
@@joshwalters3178 It's too late, Josh. Both my chops have been busted and my chain yanked beyond repair. I have no choice but to call 911 on you.
Not as much emo but I've always enjoyed bands like Dio or dreamevil for their theatrics incorporated music and concerts
Pretty Odd is a masterpiece. It's so intricate, and commands a real depth. The lyrics are full of symbolism and nestled into a great place where there's enough sense to them to create narratives, but it can be a different narritive on each listen. As you said, it feels to me like an addition to the canon of late stage Beatles and Beach Boys, i.e. pychadelic pop.
"I know the world's a broken bone, but melt your headaches, call it home." That line has somehow coforted me many times through the years.
Nine In The Afternoon would fit in perfectly on the Sgt. Peppers album.
cheap copy of the beatles bro
nobody said this but 300 ryan fans in LA
I would argue that it's neither a copy nor cheap. It certainly doesn't have the innovation, nor quite the level of genius, but it doesn't feel trite, rather as inspired by the same source. And thus it has something of it's own, which gives it a great value. There's a certain thing that only that album can do. IMO.
I'm a huge Beatles fan by the way. @@buteratellme7194
said nobody. it's a snooze fest😂
You should also consider the fanbase as a factor on why it all went downhill. Sometimes love turns into toxicity pretty quick
Yeah there was a stalker who impersonated Brendon Urie whilst texting Ryan Ross for months - the Panic! fanbase was ridiculous.
there was a WHAT now?@@foop2954
@@foop2954 If Finn revisits the topic I'd love to hear his thoughts on that whole schtick
@@foop29549 months! And ruined their friendship and was still stalking Brendon and Sarah for years her RUclips channel brendonurievines is still up! To this day! Ahhhhhhhhh
Yes! fans went to his house which forced him and Sarah to move. So scary and sad
As a former 00s emo kid I find it wild how they went from emo icon with their first album to "oh right they're still a thing?" Like two years later. That time was wild man, emo was the musical equivalent of a stock market bubble. Make it emo and it'll sell, we'll figure out the rest later. Basically, Build God Then We'll Talk.
There were never any music hype after that again. Music culture just went downhill since then.
Same thing happened with Grunge in the 90s
But with extra death 😢
@@tome1389 Check out Dexter and the moonrocks they're really good and criminally underrated. Their music is considered Western space grunge.
Can’t believe you skipped over death of a bachelor so quickly. That’s the album where they went from playing 5,000 cap rooms to stadiums with the piano hanging from the ceiling. 2nd best album behind their debut imo
2nd best💀💀💀💀💀💀 that album is a solid 5/10 lets not act like too weird to live to rare to die as well as vices and virtues dont exist
ryan ross' lyricism was what made me like the band initially, and when he left honestly i slowly lost interest in the band too
He was very influenced by Chuck Palahniuk, who I was a huge fan of at the time. There are many, many references to his work on "fever you can't sweat out".
@@sharktooths strong Morrissey influence too
We smashed a door in the face of a bloke who put on and sang whatever the “Closing the goddamn door” song.
It was marvellous.
Then we put on Everlast’s newest. Nobody being hip hop fans, but brilliant musician. Pop punk was the thing when I was at high school. I hate it with a passion and Emo is just worse. Listen to something properly emotional, or properly heavy and angry. But it’s the musical equivalent of Jim Beam Red....
Great lyrics. Almost rap-like
rayen roast fans are everywhere yet his solo band tanked😂
Panic! At the Disco was the band my dad always thought of when he said "emo",, "punk rock", and "Screamo" lol Now, I'm the dad who has no clue all these sub-sub-genres and all noise "music" my kids try to show me.
Time keeps moving
Your dad? Please, dont kill me with your words, I feels soooo old now.🤣
I mean within the Rock world these days, the internet has made generational gaps between genres kind of obsolete. If it exists or has existed, there’s new bands carrying the torch. Even hair metal has a small scene of newer bands. There’s trends still, but it’s not as divergent and conflicted as it was, simply because of how ubiquitous the internet has made all these different styles.
I would never call them "screamo." They are nowhere close to that sub-genre.
@danman6669 right, that's kinda part of thebpoint. My dad was out of touch of what was popular and now I am the out of touch one
Pitchfork have been the pinnacle of snobbish gatekeeping for as long as I've listened to music. To give A Fever You Can't Sweat Out a 1.5/10 is just goofy.
That album is fantastic, and IMO still stands out today.
For real though. I'm not even a fan of that album, but the talent is undeniable. To give it anything less than a 5 is disingenuous
They clearly gave it one spin & said “Nah!” I don’t expect any publication to listen to it for a week straight but they didn’t have to score it like it was completely unlistenable.
Pitch 'we only like hipster indie music' fork.
Theyve been lame for years now.
It definitelly stands out
@@anon8510 It's ok to be wrong mate
Imagine calling a fever you can't sweat out unoriginal and uncreative that's madness, also really liked hearing Finn's take on everything he didn't mention Brendon's cancelling or the terrible reviews the last album got which seems to be all anybody ever brings up in this conversation
Was Brendon canceled? Why?
@@johanherrera4055 he said the N word on stream
@@ironmaiden530 yeah, I saw that. The soft N word. He was rapping to an old song that wasn't from him. People love to play the victim role..
I know some critics call it whiny but the reason that Panic at the Disco is mainly Brendan Urie is because his voice. It is special. He is one of those people that no matter what he sings its sounds like a hit song. Bradley Nowell had it too. So do certain pop stars like Dua Lipa. The early Panic songs were really good but the reason the demo's are incredible is because Urie is a truly gifted vocalist.
I kept listening to Brendan for his voice, I listen to primarily deathcore but my family and kids love panic and Brendan’s voice is just one of those unique things
He not only has a good voice, but he can play a lot of instruments as well. I think that's why he kept Panic as more of a solo project with hired touring musicians rather than getting new band mates. He had the musical ability to write and play the instrumentals himself, so he just did. He even recorded all the instruments himself for Death of a Bachelor. Collaboration can be great, but if you can do it all yourself, then why not?
Honestly I do hope Brendon Urie comes back with more music - Ryan was always the lyrical heart of the band but Brendon's a master of musicianship. I think Panic! became too rigid and ultimately he had to find his way out-but I doubt he's gone forever.
Say what you want.... Brandon is vocally amazing. I prefer metalcore, but damn Brandon can sing.
@@SH-kz4flhave you heard videos from the last tour? Brendon has really messed up his voice
@SilentProti I have and he sounds fine and normal like what 😂 the only bad performance I've seen was the News one but that was bc he was nervous and didn't perform in 3 years
@@SilentProtiThat what happens when you don't stop
His voice is vocally fried. Like he cannot sing anymore and Viva Las Vegas sounds forced
Unpopular opinion, but they were awesome on the VLV tour. He played the entire new album, but also pretty much every major popular song throughout the years
I LOVED Panics debut album. It was amazing to me. So I definitely was one who wasn’t happy about the direction change on Pretty Odd.. there were some good songs there but I wanted more like the first album one more time.
Some bands don't like to do the same thing for every album, some do
I honestly hated Pretty Odd. Nothing against their artistry, but just wasn't my cup of tea. I was shocked by how good Vices and Virtues was. I still have that album on repeat some days. But considering l love the direction Brendon took the music and I'm still listening to his recent stuff, I guess I'm a minority here.
Fever you Can’t Sweat Out is probably in my top 5 albums all-time, but I still loved Pretty. Odd. for its artistry. I don’t think either album has a skip besides intermissions.
This channel is the reason i wrote a book about 2000s emo. Punk Rock MBA inspired to make content and now that book has consistently been in the top on Amazon in the punk category. If u have dream, go for it! Best year of my life!

@adenkyramud5005 thank you
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is my favorite album of all time. Thank you so much for covering Panic!!
Not a die hard Panic fan, but I enjoy the music. Saw them live in 2017 and it was an incredible show. I'll be interested to see if Brendon returns to music at some point. A solo act? Panic Revival? Heck a Broadway show could even happen.
A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out is one of the best projects in musical history, the complete originality and imagery it captured was so beautiful, it was truly an era defining project. It’s amazing the lightening in a bottle these gents captured. Pantomime aesthetics with Shakespearian lyrics, followed by beautiful instrumentation and Brendan’s crispy power house vocals … it was an experience not just an album
The fact that he's taking a break to raise his child says a lot about his character and I personally think is awesome.
You obviously don't know him.
uhh all the members quit for a reason lol.
nice pfp
dont act like you know the reasons...
Brendan is not a good person
Great vid! And yes I agree, whatever Brendon Urie's faults, he had a level of dedication and professionalism that saw the full potential of P!atD. And at least a couple of years ago, Spencer, original drummer who helped started the band w Ryan didn't leave with him. After he left the band to work on his addiction he popped up working as an exec for Pete at Decaydance a couple years ago so there doesn't seem to be any bad blood.
Pretty Odd was unfortunately a "flop" to a lot of kids / casual listeners but looking at it objectively, it's a very well written album. You could NOT get 19-21 year old me (or anybody, really) to write anything that intricate and special that the album has. It sucks that it got compared a lot to the edge that 'Fever' brought to the scene. I completely get that the difference in imagery is very jarring, and I wish people would revisit Pretty Odd and receive it like it's by a literal whole other band - that could help establish fresh ears and perspective to listen with.
Agreed. To me Pretty Odd is their masterpiece!
It's a sophomore slump indeed
embarrassing😂
Pretty Odd is pretty special in my opinion. Most bands don't have the guts to venture so far from their base and push themselves into a style that hadn't been popular in decades. Maybe its the brashness of youth or the confidence that comes from illegal substances but they really went for it. All I can ever ask from bands I like is to try their best to create good songs and Pretty Odd has them in droves. I still revisit this album and am so impressed that kids that young could and would want to create music this musically complex. I know when you are young if you are expecting pizza, you want pizza and if someone shows up with braised short rib you aren't satisfied. That being said it's a real forgotten gem.
@@JeremySeanA Yeah you basically said it better than my word vomit lmao. Listening to the instrumentals here on RUclips really solidifies that
Patd is the reason I started listening to guitar music of any kind, right when I was 12. It helped me so much in this teenage years and most of all Pretty odd. So it was heartbreaking when Ryan left. After vices & virtues I pretty much stop listened to the band and moved on to another genres but just a few years ago I started listening to them again and man you're so right about Ryan talent s a songwriter. Truly inspiring and, at the same time, it was truly inspiring to me to starting playing instruments and make music since I was a teenager.
This is the best video you’ve done in a long time! Just wish it was longer. GREAT STUFF Finn!
Their debut album is crucial till this day✨
This is trippy. I went to high school with Ryan and remember Pet Salamander. He was really good and I never knew what happened after he got big with Panic.
Wait seriously? Dude that’s epic! What was he like? (I’ve seen different things about high school Ryan, but I’ve always imagined him being that shy kid in the back of the class with their head buried in a book 24/7 😂😅)
The absolute punk threads about that photo with the coke was iconic
Such good times
Videos that i needed but didn’t know i needed. Amazing
daaaamm, just come from the last BMTH video, your audio quality is just on Another Level.
I loved their first album but I might be one of the few who loved their mainstream stuff too. Pray for the Wicked was an incredible pop album and I wish they had just kept doing that stuff
As always, appreciate your take on this. There’s always nuance. You’re a class act 🤘🏽
Ryan Ross is a talented musician and songwriter, but Brendon is a star. I think Ryan rightfully got credit for writing A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. That said, he was not the frontman of the band and was, frankly, boring to watch (compared to Brendon.) It was the Brendan Urie Show because Brendon is also musically talented, theatrical, charismatic, nice to look at, and a damn good showman.
This right here is what I've been saying for so long and then I just get hate for it bc according to everyone Brendon bad, Ryan good
a lot of people fell out of love with Panic immediately after Ryan Ross left, and not to knock his God-given talent, but I'm not one of those people. I've always associated the band as Brendon's thing, and it became more apparent as time went along. I've either loved/really enjoyed every Panic album up until PFTW & VLV and I'm honestly sad that he decided to call it quits. I also think the online hate for Brendon and some of the controversial mistakes he's made are really just a ridiculous excuse for people to find another reason to talk shit about him killing the band
Crazy that you would associate it as Brendon's thing when he was not only the last to join but had almost 0 input on the songs that got them to fame in the first place. Youre doing the biased thing where singer= leader. I used to think people over exaggerated Ryan Ross but once you look into the band you realize that he was essential to Patd. Brendan made it an absolute solo project pop group that is not PATD at heart.
Fans left Ryan Ross TYV tho.
@@yeeehawwdy2638Lead singer = the face of the band.
Again face of the band does NOT equal the leader lmfao.@@buteratellme7194
noo😂 we left ryan ross tyv band instead😂
Dude. I had no idea. Always informative brother.
One of the coolest things about growing up with PATD is when I first heard then in middle school. I made so many new friends just through talking about the band. From skater punks, to emo kids, to even preppy/jockey types. They were so diverse with their fans, it really was a cool thing to witness while growing up. Great video as always, Finn! 🤘🏼
Brendon Urie sounded awesome on the Every Time I Die feature he did. And he's got the ETID "New Junk Aesthetic" album cover tattooed on his upper arm. Can't be all bad!
I loved Panic from start to finish and always supported Brendon’s career even when everyone else left. Im very happy that I was able to see him live so many times over the years- he always put on an incredible live show. The only album I didn’t love was the newest album- It was all over the place. But I loved every album and every song before before, even Pretty. Odd. I hope he eventually comes back into the music scene because even if Ryan started this, Brendon showed his incredible talent too throughout the years. ❤
The dynamic between Ryan and Brendon in the Fever Era is interesting, one part missed in the video is that Ryan wanted a confident voice to sing his confident lyrics.
“If I was the singer, I wouldn’t be able to write some of the stuff I write. [Brendon will] get the praise or he’ll take the heat for it. I wouldn’t be able to deliver that stuff. It’s not that I’m afraid of it, but I’m not confident enough.” - He said to rolling stone.
You got lyrics about crititcs hating their pieces of work, before even the album came out, so very confident stuff. Brendon was the man with charisma who could on stage personify these lyrics.
It sounds like Brendon swore to shake it up, and the band and fans swore to listen.
I never considered confidence a factor in music, but you're absolutely right, especially for bands that focus on showmanship.
Great insight and overview, Finn!
Fantastic content as always.
Great video!
Ryan Ross was the secret ingredient that made the band so special in my opinion
His magic failed and stopped working with his own band😂
he was the failure😂

I didn't know I needed to know about - of all things - fucking the history of Panic! at the Disco, but here we are. GREAT VIDEO FINN, this is why I am subscribed to your channel. As always, you insight into the music industry, historical events, sociology, etc. are what make your content so insanely interesting.
I can’t put into words how into this band I was in 2006. Their debut album was an instant buy for me once I heard “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage” (their actual first single) on the radio a few times. That whole album is great. I saw them at Lollapalooza ’06 and got made fun of for how many pictures I took of P!ATD compared to all the other acts I saw. I didn’t care though.
I just didn’t think the hooks were that strong on the next few records. I pulled for them, just couldn’t get into the songs that much.
That made the success of “Say Amen (Saturday Night)” and “High Hopes” all the more shocking. I can’t think of a more meteoric rebound by any other act I’ve ever followed. I don’t love the songs, but I was happy for Brendon. But I found most of his 2020’s material to be annoying enough that it was probably the right thing to do to hang it up for awhile. I’m sure he’ll be back though; he’s too good of a singer to stay away for long.
As someone who was 18 in 2005 and listening to a bunch of music around that time, I can say most people I knew who had heard "Fever" were really impressed with the album, especially because they hadn't really blown up yet. It was a legitimately well made and interesting album for its time, no matter what opinions followed their rise to fame later.
Great vid!
Brendon is a performer so him honestly even keeping Panic! going even with help from pop writers shows he really thought this band could keep going and he knew he could give it the performances it needed at that stage in the bands career... He is just really well at performing and you can honestly see that in most of his stuff... He gives credit where it is due of course! He just did what he thought was best and kept the band working and honestly did better than most could have ever done with a band with barely any real founding members left...
Had to comment again. Absolutely love the last 2 mins. Ryan is a genius and I often wonder what would have happened had they never split after P.O.
You missed the fact that a small group of angry 12 year olds started a hate campaign against Brendon, pretty much forcing him to distance himself from music and social media.
All of the claims to "cancel" Brendan were either debunked or very tame, he did not deserve the treatment he received from these losers and it'll always be such a loss and a shame.
Ryan Ross WAS Panic!
Loved this video!!!!!!!
Great video! Thanks :)
Love this channel.❤
I personally think "Too Weird to Live..." is an amazing album.
Time to watch!
I can vividly remember being at my Grandparents house in Quebec circa 2006 when the music video for IWSNT came on the french version of Much Music (Canadian MTV)
It was so jarring because I had seen absolutely nothing like that be done before for music- I thought I was watching some weird obscure band from Montreal lol
I think the fact that they sounded so theatrical but still maintained that “emo/pop punk” sound for the chorus is what really got me tuned in as a child- I realize now that that is because of Ryan Ross basically
One of my earliest memories was hearing brendon urie sing and just being enamored. I was like 5 and the music still means a lot to me
So pumped for this one 🖤🤘🏻
I'd love to see you do one of these on all of the Decaydance bands (i.e. October Fall, etc) lots of material there to explore.
I think its important to note that before their last album a bunch of young female fans came with forward with stories about Brendan. You can still find them online but I would guess that they may have contributed to him stepping away as of recently.
Thanks for making this vid! I was a casual listener of Patd as a teen and had no clue why I wasn’t hearing from them anymore over the years. I never cared too much to look into it but I saw your vid pop up and decided to give it a watch. I had no clue they turned pop (yikes) and I think it definitely died when Ryan left.
I chimed in with a ' close the goddamn door mom!' 😅Finn thanks so much for this video, appreciate you brother
Love your stuff!
Would love a deep dive on bands like Thursday and Saosin. The Used too. Or just covering what Taste of Chaos was. I feel like this history is skipped a lot.
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is one of the best albums ever written and you can't tell me anything else. Its so unique and the themes are phenomenal.
"Fever You Can't Sweat out" was a high shadow to fill. A masterpiece. Not a skip on it. Many bands wait til their 3rd or 4th album to put out their most sensational piece. Early success was likely a lot to handle. Like for Blink, Enema was their 4th album. They had some experience being known before they were huge. I am sure that makes a difference. Plus i feel putting out a few more like "Fever" would have been smart before changing direction. Perhaps people would have been more open to it with a larger catalogue. Glad you did a Panic video though! Thank you for that.
The first album tour they did and their collaborative efforts with Dresden Dolls still holds some of my fondest memories if music from that era.
Nice video buddy
A fever you can’t sweat out is one of the most unique masterpieces in music. I don’t like anything else PATD did, but I can listen to a fever you can sweat out infinitely
been in love with panic! since i found them in 2016 they have never made a bad album in my opinion. the fanbase is awful tho always has been from creepily obsessed to acting like brendon killed someone. i think in a few years we will have another pretty odd with people looking back and seeing VLV as the great album it is.
100000000% agree
I think it would be super cool if down the road they did some reunion shows with the original lineup or at least with Ross back in the band.
my bf's daughter was listening to house of memories and i told her that i used to listen to Patd back when they were a band not just brendon lol then i made everyone listen to songs off fever you cant sweat out, and pretty.odd.while we were on a long car ride
I am not too sure they fell so much as the radical style changes alienated the fan base. I have always kept up with them personally. Growing up an emo kid myself I felt that between the long album release wait time, and were we all were in life naturally, our tastes were different. I remember being a freshmen, then sophomore then in college. And for me at least their change always was what I needed and wanted at the time. If it is fall though as in for the band mates and just interpersonal stuff then yes. I can totally agree with it. As you so wonderfully discerned. They began to get shakier and shakier and eventually as far as the band mates falling away one by one what happened was inevitable.
I feel this way, I liked the band kind of grew with me.
Thrice is another band that I feel has done that through my life.
A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out is still one of my favourite albums of all time and Lying is the Most Fun is my favourite PATD song. I liked their later albums (although if I never hear High Hopes again it will be too soon) but they never quite managed to recapture what made me love them to begin with.
Really interesting!
Thank you, Finn. The run time of this video is the longest I've ever cared about this band. You're a miracle worker.
I only made it to Dungeon Hunter 6
I always liked Panic, even the newer albums, it's a shame I didn't get to watch em live
Panic! Was my first concert ever. I was fully obsessed with them in high school & even dressed as Brendon one year for Halloween🤣
This is a pretty great video
When I think of emo I think of bands like Senses Fail, Hawthorne Heights, Thursday, etc. The bands you named were pop punk before they became pop stars.
Correct. Funeral for a friend, Taking Back Sunday, etc.
I mean the music sonically does tend to overlap to a degree but not fully and the lyrical content is really what set them apart.
I loved Ryan Ross so much in middle school and I'm always going to love that first album the most.
SOLID vid!!!! Wasn't expecting this one today, but really enjoyed learning about the band! Brendan has an amazing voice, but i never cared enough to follow the band (or him). Classic finn video 👏👏👏
The first time i heard "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" was on some weird ass Newgrounds flash game. For the longest time i thought it was some long lost FOB song i hadnt heard. Always though Brendon and Patrick had extremely similar vocal styles
4:47 would have been so cool to hear just the instrumental intro, that demo is so good
A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, Pretty Odd, and even Virtues and Vices are all solid albums in their own right, but Ryan Ross's band The Young Veins, which he formed after leaving Panic, was surprisingly good if in a different style from what most people know Panic for. Wish they'd made more than one album.
"Fever" was what really got me into emo. I was stuck in a cycle of listening to really boring and cringe music. Then fever came out when i was 16 and i was like "oh... I gotta dump this notion that 'its only good if its super heavy' and actually find stuff thats fun and interesting and got me moving and singing". So much of my journey of self discovery since my teen years has centered around letting go of shame and just liking what I like, and I kinda credit Panic with some of that progression.
..and later on "too weird to live" came out with "girls/girls/boys" and forced me to reconcile some other things about my queerness that I'd been suppressing. The whole "wait... Do i want to be him or fk him?" feeling was strong.
I am glad to see the edited by name in the video.
I still love the Fever album.
But I didn’t realize Brendon didn’t write the lyrics.
Now it makes way more sense why I e never really enjoyed their music or Brendon’s.
CUse the lyrics was a massive part of why Fever was amazing.
Fever is such a great album all around I never understood that hate back then. I do feel like its been more appreciated as the years have gone on
Brendon was probably the most sane of them so he manage to hold on more then the others
As a 42 year old metal head, I have very little knowledge of how they started, or what type of band they used to be.
But I do think you might've skipped over Brendon's talent a little bit. In my opinion, he's one of the better vocalists of this day and age, and from the Death of a Bachelor album onward it's been pretty clear how gifted of a multi-musician he is.
I can totally understand that original fans didn't like the shifts in their material (it's what usually happens with fans and bands), slowly morphing into Brendon's solo work, but that's just how things worked out.
He also seems like a pretty stable person, as opposed to some former band members, so I think he just had the right combination of perseverance, talent, and luck.
I really hope he'll return some day with new material, maybe even with a new band, who knows!
accidentally discovered this channel within the hour and I’m on my 3rd video. Cool stuff
I thought their debut single was 'the only difference b/w martyrdom and suicide is press coverage'. At least here in ATL that was their first song played on radio.
I’ve liked every release from panic except the last one, which I admit I didn’t give much of a chance. I remember when pretty odd came out when I was in middle school and I hated it lol. A couple of years ago I became obsessed with it. And of course a fever you can’t sweat out is an album I still listen to religiously to this day. Also, king of the clouds is such a fun song.
Could you possibly do a video about Fair to Midland? They seem to have a really weird history from the things I have heard. Their first album is still to this day REEEEEALLY good. IMO
