When two members left Panic! At The Disco making a full-format band only a duo, the Panic part of the title appeared really fitting. Shortly after they grew in their confidence and recorded two brilliant albums, a true catastrophe stroke them right into the heart. Ryan Ross and John Walker spared the details and explained the whole affair as a departure due to creative difference.
What could the remaining members, Brendan Urie and Spencer Smith do in dire straits like that? The answer surfaced immediately. The two decided to save the band. Now these brave men are certified to give lectures on playing like a quartet for duos. The guys simply carried on as a duet. What were they going to play and what were they going to sing about now that Ryan Ross, the main song-writer, was gone?
Would these two be able to preserve the high execution level that marked the first two albums by Panic! At The Disco? With Ross out of Panic! At The Disco, the writing responsibilities are taken on by Brendan Urie who has always drawn the band into the pop-oriented sounding.
Yet the new CD lacks the depth and complexity possessed in full by it predecessor, Pretty. Elegant touches of sadness, slight philosophizing in lyrics and a periodically low tempo to make you think deeper are gone.
Without Walker, the bass lines, he was responsible for, are now put far back, which means we can only sometimes hear them and never discern them. However, the remaining members of the band grab maximum out of their instruments giving up everything they have. The acoustic piece Always is also a very good addition to this set.
After losing two units, Panic! At The Disco were expected to simplify their music and rest on what they had already had on their previous releases. Working on their own, Urie and Smith did their best and outdid their personal achievements recorded earlier.
