What’s with the beards and clothes? Are you trying to look like the late 60’s Beatles too?

Another band trying to be the Beatles. This is well-trod territory (way, way too often)! Can’t somebody come up with something original?

Pete Wentz said this record sucks

i can’t believe how much panic(no exclamation point) has changed. i am scared that i wont lyk their new cd.

“Pete Wentz said this record sucks”

Pete Wentz sucks.

Poor Panic At The Disco. Don’t they know that every band who tries to sound like the Beatles fails miserably?

I don’t care what anyone else says…no wait, I do. Panic are just as good, better even then before. Their take on music and lyrics tell stories and are written from real experiences. Personally, I think their new album is gonna be huge.

“Pete Wentz said this record sucks”

So does everyone else.

I agree with jazzy j people think panic is gone but they’ll see…….you just wait and see!!!!and I can’t wait for the new album……the anticipation and suspense is killing me!

I can’t believe people are even mentioning these fucks in the same breath as The Beatles. Disgusting.

First of all, Pete Wentz has never done anything but praise Panic’s new album.

Second of all, the fact that they are moving away from emo and more towards the Beatles end of the spectrum is actually quite refreshing…we need more modern bands who have something more to say than how they reject pop culture and how their lives suck.

Thank you Panic, for growing up
and mixing it up =)

And personally, I think the new album is going to be amazing.

Panic at the Disco are the sonic equivalent of cold sores in your mom’s uteran wall.

I used to like Panic! before they went mainstream. Fuck them for becoming successful.

Pete wentz said he loved the new CD what are you talking about. He said its all he ever wants to listen to.

Panic’s already gaining success off this album from their frist single “Nine in the Afternoon”. It jumped from number 10 on TRL to number 4 in one day. I think it’s just a glimpse of their future success with the album.

That’s awesome. :]
I like the dream line…
But still, nothing is comparable to the Beatles.
Sure, I have Panic’s face plastered all over my wall, but the Beatles have their face plastered all over the world. :]

why do haters of the band comment on this? dumb…i think the album’ll be great and i’m really excited to hear it!

You guys do know that Panic at the Disco sucks, right? I mean, try as they might, they can’t succeed in anything they do. This time, they’re going to fail and fall on their asses as they try to become the Beatles.

I’m sorry, I’m a fan, but even I don’t feel that they have earned the credibility to be compared to the Beatles yet. Come on.

anyone who listens to this band needs to have a serious chat with themself?! ridiculous band

So the album is INFLUENCED by the Beatles. No one said anything about PATD being as successful or on par with the Beatles. Settle down.

I am so impressed with those two samples of lyrics. Ryan is Lennon and Brendon is McCartney? haha. i love hearing that. im so proud of them. I dont care what you haters say, you are just afraid.. of who knows what?! Panic At the Disco are amazing

is someone really upset that they’ve been compared to the beatles musically? thats ridiculous. their sounds are similar. they might not have the reach/influence/etc. of the beatles, but that doesn’t disguise the fact that yes, these sounds are similar. personally, i like this new direction, and i’m looking forward to hearing it.

it became cool to hate on panic, and i find it distinctly lame. judge on musical sound.

Nice article. It seems like this will be an interesting album either way. I’m always amused at the vitriol these FBR bands seem to produce from certain sources, especially since it often backfires into more publicity for those same bands.

wow, stfu brie. those were two of the cheesiest lyrics I’ve ever had the misfortune of reading.

panic at the dick co. is lame

I think that panic isn’t growing up at all by producing an album such as this one. I actually believe that they are taking a major step backwards.
Growing up is about becoming an individual and establishing your own unique personality, it’s not about trying to be someone else. The idea of blantantly copying others instead of becoming one’s own person, is something that should be done with after adolescence. It is one thing to draw inspiration from a band they admire, but it is another to attempt to replicate it right down to the way they dressed and styled their hair.
What made panic so great was that they had a sound that was different from everything else out there, and now they are ruining it by trying to be something that has already been done, and done extremely well. They are never going to be the beatles, nobody is, so for them to try, they are actually moving further and further away from becoming a truly renowned band.
With their newfound aspiration to be the beatles, the only thing Panic at the Disco will achieve is heightened levels of unorginality.

They’re not trying to “be” the Beatles, and to truly be influenced by them would entail creativity, thus eliminating identicalness in work.

The comparison is legitimate because they are using some fundamental elements of their style as well as simply exploring more musical possibilities.

Remember, few would have predicted the Beatles’ significance early in their career either.

“They’re not trying to “be” the Beatles, and to truly be influenced by them would entail creativity, thus eliminating identicalness in work.”

Oookaaaay! I’m glad that you have access to the inside of their heads. Have you heard their record yet? Maybe they send their songs telegraphically to you and only you!!!

“Remember, few would have predicted the Beatles’ significance early in their career either”

And I’m not even going to address the stupidity of making this comparison.

I will always love and miss the former Panic(!) and their music then. However, the newer descisions they’ve made with their music are what make them happy, and I appreciate it and think ‘Pretty.Odd.’ will be just as good as ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’, probably not better, but still quite good. If we are all a little more open minded to the new songs/music/lyrics, I think we will eventually grow to love it just as much. *R.I.P. former Panic(!) and warm greetings to the present Panic.

Why does anyone consider the Beatles relevant to this day? Maybe the music they created was influential at the time, but I’m willing to bet there were hundreds of bands nobody ever heard of that were hundreds of times better. They were simply very mainstream, which is the only reason any of you kids who listen to Panic at the Disco have even heard of them. Do yourself a favor and do not listen to the vapid music produced by this “band.” Please think for yourself and find music other than what the television and radio feeds you. You will never amount to anything if you think Panic at the Disco is a good band and you’re older than 14.

re: Sal Amato | 2/19/2008, 7:52 pm EST

I have not heard the entire album, but I have heard a few of the songs as well as read descriptions of the rest.

They’ve only said the Beatles AND MANY OTHER MUSICAL ARTISTS THEY’VE MENTIONED inspire them, not that they’re trying to be them.

Here is where the comparison may lie: many people dismissed the Beatles and rock ‘n roll in general as a passing fad, but see where it’s gone. . .
Now we can’t predict Panic’s future, but at least I can say is they already demonstrate a lot more creativity than people give them credit for and seem to be only improving. I find their potential to be quite exciting.

i think the next album they should experiment with not showering and try and have a real nirvana-influenced sound. that’d go really well with the hardcore kids.

it’s too bad they dropped the sleazy synth heavy decadent bullshit.

that pop/punk scene needs to know there was music written before 1992. I’m glad panic figured it out.

Has anyone seen this “band” perform live? Brendon seemingly can’t sing, unless you are listening to the cd, meaning he can sing about as well as paris or britney. none are really great on their instruments Undoubtedly their music is catchy, but I highly doubt these tools will make a lasting impact. Theatrics, bad makeup can’t make up for so-so talent and poor musicianship. basically these guys suck ass, and I guess pete wentz can smell shit because he is shit.

I think its gonna be a great album i relly don´t care what the f*cking haters of panic and pete said, because what they said sucks!
I love their music
And can´t wait for the album
And i agree with Jazzy J

you can’t say that they’re the next beatles..

but you can’t waste your comment saying that they suck either

(and they’re not trying to be the beatles, so you hard core fans need to calm down in some strawberry fields)

they were never emo to begin with and anyone who says that they were needs a reality check on “emo” because panic is one of the happiest, upbeat bands i’ve ever heard

this album, “Pretty. Odd.”, is going to be just that.

[3.25.08/4.12.08]

people, seriously. GET OVER IT. if you want to say something negative, the don’t say it at all. i’m sure you wouldn’t like it if someone said something about your music.

who cares if Panic are trying to be something they’re not. their their career, and they should be able to do whatever they want without being scrutinized. if they fail miserably, well at least they tried. you can’t blame them for doing what they want and not what everyone else wants for a second.

just respect their choices.

Bear xo

Wow, such negativity. I personally think that this record will be an awesome one. Uh oh, I’m over 14 and like Panic At The Disco! Shoot me. And for those of you who say Brendon can’t sing, just take the time to Youtube some of their concerts. You will find that the boy actually CAN sing! And sing quite well in my opinion. Such a unique and different sounding voice. That’s what I like about it. He certainly has come a long way from 2005 to 2008. Brendon’s vocals have tremendously progressed and it definitely shows.

There are too many cynics in this world.

OBVIOUSLY their new record sounds like the Beatles. Every single interview or article refers to them.

Are bands not allowed to have influences? Give them a break- music is all about experimentation, so lay off. You don’t have to love every band in existence.

this band blows

all i can say is that the first album must have been inspired, and written over a long period of time.

this is the follow-up: half hearted, trying to earn the respect they’ve gotten for their first effort. this is why the music industry sucks. these guys are one album wonders. everything else by them is just a cop-out. ESPECIALLY if they’re ADMITTING to ripping off the beatles. how lame is that? that just means that after the breakup that inspired the first record, you have nothing to offer us.

hi iam your bigest fan i think that is not u and u r young in my poster.

All I can say is that this album will most likely be a flop.

Why? let me tell you.

A lot of the panic at the disco-ers have moved on. It’s been 3 years since they released a record and new bands have already filled their popularity spot. They simply took way to long to get another album out.
Now they’re abandoning what made them famous, their catchy hooks and danceable songs are turning into “country tinged” sounds and to top it all off, Ryan Ross is singing and Brandon Urie (THE FRONTMAN) is taking a “backseat” to him.
And they’re trying really hard to be the beatles and whenever a band does that, they just go downhill.

It was nice to know you PATD.

Didn’t The Vines suffer the same fate when they released their second album? Didn’t they take a more Beatles inspired route and ended up regarded as hacks.

I absolutely think that this album is going to be a hit. I love “Nine in the Afternoon” and I hope to love every other song on “Pretty. Odd.” Although I am into other bands like Cobra Starship and Paramore, I would set back any band so I could hear them. Although I have not been to any Panic concerts, I think Brendon has a very good voice and I also think that their lyrics are not cheesy. Sometimes, it just takes a while to get to know what music you love and what the lyrics say. That might have been a cheesy thing to say, but it’s true. And to the idiot who wrote “Panic at the Dick co.”, you absolutely need to get a life.

Another thing, if Pete Wentz says this record sucks, he should stop whining about it and suck it up because he’s the one who signed them to his record label anyways.

Ummmm…the Beatles are always relevant due to the fact that they sort of lay the blue print for many artist that emerged durign their time period and after….raised the bar so to say…I think it’s find if this band changed their sound and likes the Beatles, but every band knows better than saying that they are like or better than the Beatles…look where that sort of tone took Oasis.

ok NUMBER ONE WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH BEING FOURTEEN IN THE FIRST place, we get sterotyped as these brain dead kids that have nothing better to do than make goo goo eyes at the band mates, sure there are those who do so but they arn’t true fans, these guys have true fans as well yes SOME might be my age but their music is also a little bit inaprorite for the GRACIOUSE SAINTS that live on this earth, and some parents that are strict wont let a 14 year old listen to them, And ok so they are taking a new approche and when you say they’ve changed, its so stupid its a new god damn album there not supposed to make it the same as the first, they have influences but they are still their own band, and dont you think if they rose to the top before they cant do it again even if they have attract a different crowd, people critize these things because they dont understand, AND im not saying i do, but you say these things as if you know something about music, THEY ARE intitled to change as you feel your intitled to an oppinion the only difference is as a fan i don’t want to hear it

Really… for everyone who says they suck… I dont see you making a platinum record, and producing a video of the year award. I think they are testing there selves. People are complaining about how they’ve changed, but what do you expect? After they’ve transitiond from teens to adults you can’t expect them to write the same record.
Cheers Panic!

re: Grace | 2/19/2008, 9:35 pm EST

“Here is where the comparison may lie: many people dismissed the Beatles and rock ‘n roll in general as a passing fad, but see where it’s gone. . .”

My point is simple. Why do all these bands use the Beatles as their influence? Can’t someone think of somebody different and original to use as an inspriration.

Band after band after band use the Beatles as their main influence (except Oasis and a couple of others) always fuck it up and make it sound like washed out pop crap!

As far as the Beatles thing goes, no band is 44 years has been able to be the masterful and prolific band they were.

So cool out with the Beatles comparisons. Let them put out 7 or 8 brilliant and nearly perfect albums in a row and get back to me. Ain’t happening.

people dont need to comment this is they dont like panic.
i wil kill anyone who wants it lmao serious.

i am looking forward to the new album of course i will miss the beat to the last one but oh well people SUCK IT UP times change and people change

thankyou caitlin! i agree! for everyone who say they suck, your not famous are you!
so leave them alone if you dont like them! everyone has their own opinion!

but my opinion is that they are the best band on earth! and i have been patient with pretty. odd. and so should you!
you dont just snap your fingers and a album as good as pretty. odd. apears in front of you! it takes time to make a album that good!

panic is love

HOLY F*CK AY! ALL YOU HATERS JUST SHUT THE HELL UP! I AM SICK OF IT! JUST BECAUSE YOUR PIECE OF SHIT GARAGE BANDS ARNT GOING ANYWHERE!
FXCK AI!

i Hope to christ they keep the key changes, half steps and time signture changes. this is what made them a great band because they where real musicians.

Ok I have somethings to say.

1.) Why are there random people commenting about how they think Panic sucks. That’s just stupid. Your wasting your time. Is that what you do with your life? Look up articles on bands that you don’t like and then post comments saying that they suck. Whoever does that…seriously GET A F*CKING LIFE YOU LOSER!

2.) I happen to be a big fan of Panic At The Disco and yes Im 14! There is nothing wrong with having a younger fan base. And I know people in thier 40’s that like Panic At The Disco and are successful. Just because you like Panic and are over 14 years old that doesn’t mean your a loser. So everyone that things that your completely wrong. And yes I do think that some of the members of the band are atractive. But that doesn’t mean that I’m some kind of teenybopper. I like Panic because of thier music not thier looks. They have an amazing singer who has a voice like no one else, they have an excellent guitarist, a great bass player, and a fabulous drummer. And just because they wanna change things up a bit that doesn’t mean that the album is going to be bad. Like other people have said. You can’t make the same album twice in a row.

3.) Just because people have influences that doesn’t mean they are trying to be like them. My friend’s had a band and they were influenced by a lot of bands and they still had thier own style. You can’t judge a band on thier influences.

4.) For everyone who thinks that “Pretty. Odd.” is gonna suck. you can shove it! The guys have worked hard on their album and I don’t think that they would relase it unless they thought it was perfect.

5.) Anyone who thinks that the band has changed too much. Fine go ahead think that and move on with your life. People are entitled to change thier style. If Panic wants to make changes let them. IT would be boring to do the same exact thing everytime.

Ok well I think I’ve said everything I wanted to say.

Nothing wrong with going platinum or having a young fan base, just please don’t mention these traits as if they automatically lend Great Artist credibility to a completely average band. Making a big splash on TRL has nothing to do with art.

I don’t think they suck…nor do I think they’re great. They’re just another middle-of-the-road band with nothing special to offer. Props to them for making a profitable career out of it…not an easy feat.

Peace.

No one can completely judge their new album since no one has listened to it yet, right? maybe some people are scared of change. the change that PATD is going through. But that’s okay. i was sort of afraid too because i love how the first album sounded. but even if that’s gone, i respect any music that they create. they’re still a developing band who likes changes and improvements and i guess they’re enjoying a Beatles-type of sound at the moment. this is the path they chose to take and try. Who knows what’s to come AFTER “Pretty. Odd.?” By then, PATD probably won’t be as interested in a Beatles sound anymore anyways. if you don’t like them or their music style, then PLEASE go find something else to like. PATD doesn’t need those who’ll put them down. why does anyone have to hate them anyways? i don’t know/see what drastically wrongful thing has been done by them, until i see proof or hear a reasonable point. i myself will always love & support Panic At The Disco and i enjoy their new single, that’s that =]

“all i can say is that the first album must have been inspired, and written over a long period of time.”

It was actually written in a rather short period of time as they recorded it a few months after they were signed. A couple of the songs had been recorded as demos before, but they probably came up with the rest of the material pretty quick. What is truly remarkable about it is the change in direction they chose halfway through, which lent to A Fever’s diversity. That characterisic continues to be one of their greatest strengths, and it is logical for them to be inspired by another band that was so strong in that quality.

well at least the new album is less emo.
good for panic at the disco for shedding their emo skin and embracing rocknroll.

long live the beatles.

You people who are claiming that Panic are awful and not real music, would you care to tell us which bands are good in your eyes? More than likely the bands you like, I probably don’t. However, I’ll respect that they are of a certain taste and I wouldn’t go posting ridiculous opinions as if they were fact.
By the way, I’m a 20 year old male who is into countless different styles of music (old and new) which just goes to show that the entire Panic fan base is not entirely made up of fourteen year old girls. Regardless, a band should be judged on their talent rather than their popularity or fan base demographic.

our little Ryan is growing up…falling in love, oh so sad, i wish he could find something other to write about than love.

to Jen…love your comment, totally agree compleatly! I love their music, they are the most gifted band i have ever heard, i thought that before i knew what they looked like. The fact that they are the sexyest men on earth is just this little added bonus that excludes them even more from everyone else. And To Sal Amato…no offense but you havent heard the album yet, so how can u know if it sounds like the beatles. Their inspriation was the beatles their songs arent made to sound like the beatles. PATD (Ryan Ross In Particualr) are too deep, too much of artists to be exactly like the beatles, and to the whole band it would be embarassing to make an album that sounds like all the other crap out there. i am sure that this album will be as awesome and original as the first. THE END!

The new CD sucks I’m sorry to all of Panic’s loyal fans, but once they dropped the exclamation point they started dropping their talent. The first CD was exciting, energized and vocaly beautiful. This CD sounds like they herd the beatles for the first time and decided to do whatever was in their ability to copy them. This CD is boring straight boring. For the record Nine in The Afternoon sucks.

You guys know that they seriously dont give a shit what you think of the album. MUSIC IS MUSIC they’re not trying to be anything or any certain band. They are simply doing what makes TEHm happy, not us. True fans should be glad they’re excited to wake up in the morning and do what they do, and haters shouldnt be here, your wasting your time and not affecting us.

NITA is catchy and annoying and it’s pretty much the highpoint of the album. All very samey.
I liked the first album because it was different but this is just substandard.

Go buy Portishead’s Third instead of wasting money on this…

This album is different then their first album but in the good way. Ive heard the whole album and they even say in their first song that their the same band. The only difference is that the songs are a bit slower it tempo. And this will actually attract more fans so yeah its a good album.

Despite the fact that many prominent music mags have bestowed this album with positive reviews, I feel that most of them have failed to take an in depth critique of this album. Most of them have merely given the band credit for their departure from their previous style, which is, in all honestly a good thing. But taking a look at the album and negating the fact that it is obviously Beatles inspired, the listener is left to realize that even though this album is of a rare kind during this time period, It still doesn’t live up to the hype. The lyrics have their good spots but they fall short and end up spiraling into endless repetition.And the musical orchestration although uplifting and inspiring at some points, ultimately falls short and flat. I am not completely writing this band off, but I am giving an honest educated opinion. I was not looking for the upbeat techno that PATD created in A fever you can’t sweat out, I was looking for change. and I must say their change in direction was good. I just think they could have done so much more than they did.

I, personally, was a huge P!ATD fan. But that was with the first album (a fever you can’t sweat out). I am severly dissapointed with this new album (pretty odd). Panic! has taken a whole new approach to music. If you like the first album, you will hate the second album. The band straight upi lies to you in the first track. In this track, Panic! announces, “you don’t have to worry, we are still the same band.” So either Panic! was faking it in the first album or they are lying to you. If Panic! At The Disco hasn’t changed, then the rolling stones are stop playing music tomorrow. This album is “pretty. odd.” But in a bad way. The more you listen to it, the more bearable it is. I don’t know if its actually getting better or you are forcing you to like it because you just spent fifteen dollars on a cd thats worth two dollars, if that.

I’m sorry Panic!, but this is one dissatisfied fan.

-xXsumguyXx

First-off, no one here has the right to mouth people off just because they don’t have your taste in music. I happen to think that PATD is losing their touch, and keeping their image. That is to say, they have the preppy sound, with the emo look. Seriously, the band looks emo! Tight pants, their hair styles, EMO! I am not complaining, I like their image, and it also has no affect on my opinion of their music. They picked a new feel for the band, I feel their look doesn’t really reflect their sound, which leads me to believe they really shouldn’t sound like this.

However, this is ME, and if you don’t agree, SURPRISE! I am not you! It doesn’t really matter!

And as for Jen, you need to stop insulting people. I find that working about two months on their album is not “[working] hard on their album”. They made that stuff up in about no time, seeing that they threw away the stuff they actually worked hard on. For saying “IT would be boring to do the same exact thing everytime” I have to say, each song on the album was the exact thing everytime. I am entitled to my opinion, so don’t you tell me to “get a f’ing life” or “shove it.”

ok does anybody realize what there saying, the last band that tried sounding like the beatles was jet, the only band that tried sounding like the beatles, panics new cd has great vocals, u’ve gotta listen deep to the music and it takes u on a journey, its a very interesting and musicaly sound album, and for the people that don’t like this album, just don’t give up on panic quite yet, they will see through record sales, what they want to do next with there music, think about it though, they’d be selling out if they looked and judged their style on ‘the man’…..just let them do what they do, and i guarantee you they will get big again….

OKAY! Can they just please stop trying to be The Killers!!? There’s only one band from Las Vegas…and they actually know how to make music.

A friend of mine told me to listen to the new PATD album, “It sounded very Beatlesque”, was his argument. The first album wasn’t exactly my ‘cup-of-tea’, just another band of young, immature boys who try their best at being an 80s band… So I tried to resist my friends opinion: “Come on, these young fellows with this quasi-emo sound can’t make an album with a sgt. peppers sound! That’s ridiculous, and their fanbase of teen girls won’t like it!”
But I gave it a listen and was hooked! It’s a great album, still no masterpiece, but it’s one of 2008’s best albums. The Beatles have made some of the best, most melodic, timeless music ever (at least, that’s my humble opinion) and if a band can capture such sound and duplicate similar sounding melodies, well, they deserve much credit. In a time where every new band sounds like a rip-off of some 80s band and if a band uses The Beatles as influence, it’s always the Revolver or Meet The Beatles sound, PATD is a fresh wind. It’s a bold move to make a record like this to follow a hit record and they deserve much, much credit for it (and kudos to the record company for giving them the space to do such a fan alienating album in this age!).
As for the influence, yes Sgt. Peppers is very obvious, as are some Beach Boys/Pet Sounds harmonies. But does anybody hear the Village Green Society (Kinks) influence? No? Listen to ‘Do You Remember Walter’ and then to ‘9 in the afternoon’, you’ll hear what I’m talking about…
Great album, it takes guts for a bunch of 20-year-olds.

I don’t like the new album. It’s pretty boring, and it will ultimately reflect on their sales as they decline, and the band receives less radio play. Their name and reputation established by the first album is the only thing that will help the second. It can only last for so long. They definitely weren’t estbalished well enough to make such a drastic change, compared to bands like Linkin’ Park and Blink-182.

By the way, anyone who mentions their attractiveness is insignificant. Way to keep on topic.
And fourteen year olds understand very little. Due to your age and their lyrics, you aren’t exactly their target audience. Do you even understand the lyrics?

Maybe off topic, but if you want to see and hear another “Ryan” that will not disappoint, check out “The Quiet”’s lead singer and song writer, Brendon Ryan, on I-tunes or at the Hotel Cafe on May 10th. They are truly captivating and awesome. I am a fan not a promoter.

I liked the 1st Album.

I like the 2nd Album.

Cheer up. just because its not emo enough. brave new change, well done panic.

todos sabemos que hay un solo grupo de las Vegas que hace musica de verdad y su nuevo albun esta muy bueno obvio que hablmos de panic at the disco.Brendon te doy…….

hey does anybody no how much the band is worth???

I’d have to say that in the start, I was a huge Panic fan. A HUGE Panic fan. I went to the show the first two times they came around (it didn’t hurt that they were touring with TAI)

After I saw them again, and saw how they became (wouldn’t talk to fans after they show, when ebfore they had no problem chilling outside for hours) and pretty much snubbed everyone (the other bands said that they’d been like that the whole tour) it was just like ‘bleh’.

This CD isn’t what the last CD was. They’ve alienated most of their fan base, which isn’t that big of a problem, if it sounded alright. The lyrics are alright, but the sound just… doesn’t fit their image. They shouldn’t be beatle-esque.

Some of the songs are alright, but just not fast enough for their last CD. It’ll reflect in their sales, which means they wont have time to do this in the future, probably, when it’s expected to try and branch out.

Just to point out:::

“On the short, country-tinged “The Piano Knows Something I Don’t Know,” Urie sings, “You’ve never been more divine in accepting your defeat and I’ve never been more scared to be alone””

The song that them lyrics are from is actually folkin’ around.

Secondly I loved the first album and liked their song style better then but I still enjoy and respect their 2nd album. Its one of those albums where the songs have to grow on you. The lyrics are out of this world, especially in Folkin Around and She’s a handsome Woman.

You have to respect their choice to change from the emo genre.Im pretty sure their view on life has changed since their last album as it has been reflected in their songs.

Don’t just judge their album when yu’ve only listened to it once, the more you listen to it, the more you see its beauty.
