The band who received global repercussions for dropping the exclamation mark from their name in 2008 - preceding the decision to revert back to the original stylization on Vices & Virtues in 2011 - recently dropped something that fans won't get upset over. With their fourth studio album release, Panic! At the Disco is back. This album, overall, is a more mature-sounding version of its preceding releases. It showcases a great amount of growth and progression...

Ever since its inception roughly ten years ago, Panic! At The Disco has continuously reinvented itself. Debut effort A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was an endearing slice of catchy emo punk; sophomore LP Pretty. Odd. was a masterful ode to the colorful warmth of 1960s pop music, complete with plenty of orchestration and gripping harmonies; Vices and Virtues replaced some organic textures with electronic influences while maintaining fantastic songwriting...

I was somehow a little pre-prepared to dislike this album after hearing the initial single "Miss Jackson", and finding out that the album runs a total length of only 32 minutes. However, it is just downright impossible to dislike anything about Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! Panic! At The Disco's fourth album is unashamedly all-out pop, predominantly led by unique and retro synths, and Brendon Urie's incredible vocals...

Often derided for following too closely on the coat-tails of Fall Out Boy, there are times on Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! when Panic! At The Disco seem determined to ape the alt. pop vibes of the former's recent ... Save Rock and Roll. Scratch the surface though, and you'll find an outfit determined to come out from the shadows and make their own mark creatively. It's a not unsuccessful move, but one with its own particular weaknesses.Too Weird.....

Release Date: October 8, 2013 If there's anything to be said about Panic! At The Disco it's that they aren't afraid to try new things. Each of their three records up to this point have sounded drastically different. But you know what, they probably don't really care which one you like more or why. With that in mind, the band's fourth record, the long-titled Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die, takes yet another step away from previous material...

It took eight years, but this Sin City-born emo-glam squad finally made its Vegas Album. Brendon Urie sings about endless bed-hopping (faux-rap "Miss Jackson"), troubled love (disco dirge "Girl That You Love") and joyless smoking ("Nicotine") to catchy synth-rock nuggets adorned with drah-mah-tic flourishes. The title is via Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, but that bonus exclamation point is all Panic's.

Panic! at the Disco's fourth full-length Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! is as eclectic and diverse as anything we could've imagined, which was hinted at by the soulful lead single tease of "Miss Jackson." Of course, by now we've learned to expect nothing less than the unexpected out of the quirky alternative band from Las Vegas...

If there's one thing that can be said about Panic At The Disco at this point, it's that they've never made the same album twice. Sure, every album is packed with Brendon Urie's charismatic vocals, and with each release we get a glimpse of the band's bizarre music videos, but they tend to try something a little different each time they hit the studio...
