Fever You Can't Sweat Out, A - Panic At The Disco

Advantages: Fantastically catchy music, great fun to listen to.
Disadvantages: May sound a little too similar to Fall Out Boy for some.

...much. 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' is an excellent album from Panic at the Disco, a superb début and one which I have listened to many times since purchasing. It kicks off with the energetic little number 'The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage' and never once in the albums run time do the band ever show any signs of slowing down. I would describe the music of Panic at the Disco as Fall Out Boy with keyboards, and that's ...
...their way through this 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' release. Obviously if you're not a fan of Fall Out Boy then you probably won't like Panic at the Disco either, but on the flip side; if you happen to be a fan of Fall Out Boy then the chances are that you will like this band also. In total, five tracks were released from this album; the last of which being 'Build God, Then We'll Talk', a track which was released as a download only single. I think ... Read review

Advantages: original, great lyrics, catchy
Disadvantages: not long enough

Panic! At The Disco are a band who come from Las Vegas. Like me you probably think Vegas does anyone actually live there? I thought they just went there, well they grew up there all members apart from one. The members are Ryan Ross (lyricist/guitarist), Brendon Urie (vocalist/guitarist), Spencer Smith (drums), Brent Wilson (bass). They are aged 18-19 but don't let age fool as you as they are as talented as some of their peers, still with some things ...
...Being one of my favourite bands at the moment I will try to keep this as far from being biased as possible. The band formed from a young age as Ryan Ross always wanted a guitar and when he got it he and his friend Spencer started to play music, Brendon and Brent joined at a later date. They got serious when they IM'd (instant messaged), Pete Wentz of Fall Out Boy (see my earlier review on their album). He has his own record label Decaydance as well ... Read review

Advantages: Original, Unique, Catchy.
Disadvantages: Maybe too different for some.

■The Band■ The beginning of Panic! At The Disco is certainly an underdog story that should inspire many upcoming bands to keep on going. They were signed up to their first record label without even performing a single show. Spotted by Fall Out Boy poster boy Pete Wentz on MySpace he recommended them to his record label. They took him up on the offer and thus, we have Panic! At The Disco. The rose quickly from small time underground success ...
...emo genre, their original sounding tracks got many people interested. The band is made up of Brandon Urie who is lead singer along with an extensive list of other instruments such as rhythm guitar and keyboard. Ryan Ross is predominantly on lead guitar but again doing backing vocals, keyboard, organ and so on. The band has recently adopted a new bassist Jon Walker who replaced Brent Wilson last year. Spencer Smith on drums and percussion completes ... Read review

Advantages: Really catchy tunes, lots of talent and variety
Disadvantages: Acquired taste, not long enough

Panic! At The Disco, wow, where to start. Firstly, they are an absolutely fantastic band, they have taken the 'emo' sensation by storm! They come with some of the catchiest riffs and vocals. This album is short and snappy and really gets to the point. 1 - Introduction - -This introduction to the album realy gets you into the mood for listening to the music, it is slightly confusing, as if you have never heard P!ATD then you hear the piano piece ...
...2 - The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage - This song fades straight in from the intro track. It kicks in with the lyrics 'Sit tight I'm gunna need you to keep time' and blasts you away with the slenderness and clearness of Brendan Urie's voice, and the gentle strumming of the guitar in the background. The song then slams into the chorus 'And i believe....this may call for a proper introduction.....' This song is probably ... Read review

Advantages: an fever you won't want to sweat out
Disadvantages: -

...record their first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out: A slightly longer than average record consisting of 13 tracks instead of the standard 12, A Fever… delivers where most bands tend to lack. Along with the usual stories of boy meets girl, boy hates girl, love is a pain in the ass, A Fever… has so much more to offer. Released in 2005 and produced by Matt Squire, A Fever… has managed to storm the charts. When at first ...
...names of the songs, a bizarre de-ja-vu of 'the names of our songs must be completely unrelated to the actual song' hits you square on the face.

Advantages: A beautiful album consisting of 12 strong tracks
Disadvantages: Some dodgy lyrics at times

...Cute Is What We Aim For are a four piece Power Pop band hailing from Buffalo, New York. Having formed in 2005, the band released this début album 'The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch' in 2006 through the record label Fueled By Ramen. Shifting 13,651 album copies in the first week of release, the album broke the record label's internal record set by Panic At The Disco's 2005 release of 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' by a massive 4000 copies. Given that Panic At The Disco's album went on to become a Platinum selling album (selling over one million copies), this is quite an achievement. The band have gained massively in popularity since the release of their album last year, and have unsurprisingly now been snapped up by Atlantic Records. 'The Same Old Blood Rush with a New Touch' is one of my favourite albums from recent years... Read review

Advantages: Infectiously catchy pop music.
Disadvantages: The album will not be to everyone's taste.

...'You Shout You Shout You Shout You Shout' that there is 'so much trash on the radio today.' In this one they also make reference to the Panic! At The Disco album 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out', and in many respects it can be seen that the band are much like them in that they are also having great success with an extremely catchy début album. Another thing these bands have in common is that they are both synth heavy, and it can be seen that this was definitely the sound of 2006; for bands to have forefronted a synth in their music. Some may argue that The Automatic are a band that have been handed it all on a plate, however I'm sure that the band would disagree with this and argue that they've worked hard for what they have achieved. Having been around since 2002, they would have good reason to argue this case too as taking four years to... Read review

Advantages: Panic at the Disco have in their career released an excellent album.
Disadvantages: An extremely lacklustre offering, the vocals lack life and the melodies are tedious.

...When Panic at the Disco released the début album 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' in early 2006 they quickly became the nations favourite band. In truth the band was little more than a Fall Out Boy clone with an added synth element to their sound, but nonetheless the music appealed to many and thus over 2.2 million copies of their début have been shifted in the U.S. alone. Whilst I'd be the first to admit that their sound was not particularly progressive and was merely a regurgitation of sounds which in truth had already been done to death before Panic at the Disco even came to be, I must say that I personally am a huge fan of the first album and it is in fact one that I still play an awful lot now. When Panic at the Disco emerged in early 2008 with new track 'Nine in the Afternoon' it came as quite a shock then that the music I was hearing... Read review
