Odd." with the hammering drums and bass of many "Fever" songs. Okay, now that you, my lovely readers, know that background on Panic! and their split, here's my overview of "Vices." This album seems to be a logical musical progression from the preceding two albums, combining some of the more orchestral sections of "Pretty. The jazzy influence is most recognizable in the title song, "Death of a Bachelor," the fiery "Crazy = Genius," and the somber final song "Impossible Year." Now, many people's favorite Panic! albums go chronologically, but for me, this album has just enough redeem-ability to it that it can beat out "Too Weird" by an inch or two. Urie's first album as the sole creative force behind Panic!, "Death of a Bachelor" is inspired by the Sinatra-esque musical structure and big band sound behind all the pop-rock Urie has come to embrace since 2012. The first two utilize far too much obvious autotune and not-as-well-handled vocoder as "This is Gospel," whereas the third just got overplayed and now makes me cringe whenever I hear it. "Girl That You Love," "Far Too Young To Die," and breakout single "Miss Jackson" are, to me, the worst songs on this album. Worst Songs: Is it bad that I have a three-way tie for this? Oh well, that's why it's in last place.
Also, if you haven't heard the piano version of this that Urie has done, PLEASE listen to it.
Best Songs: "This is Gospel," written by Urie about fellow band member Spencer Smith's struggle with substance abuse, is full of amazing musical moments and heart-wrenching lyrics.
