So I was a fan of Panic! At the Disco but I only really listened the big hits like “High Hopes” and a week ago I wanted to go through their whole discography so I asked the subreddit which album to start with. And there are a lot of different answers but I chose “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” to start out because I just relistened to “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” and I might as well listen to the album it came from. So without further ado, here’s my review of “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out”.

Introduction - It’s just an introduction that builds up to the next song. NEXT!

The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage - Now before I begin my review of this song, I really have to wonder why they thought it was a good Idea to put long names as their songs because sometimes it’s very annoying to type them. Anyways, this song is a banger. It’s really catchy, the production is really great, the electronics at the bridge making me dance and feel hyped af. The theme of criticizing artists who make music that seems to be controversial only to gain fame is an interesting topic that I’ve heard a dozen times and I think it was tackled in a good way. Overall, probably the most replayed song for me on this album from it’s short runtime and its catchiness.

London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines - I think it’s a great follow-up to the last track. The vocal notes have been hitting so far, the production is really great, and the chorus is catchy. Although a song about the “Critics” is a bit cliché at this point since I’ve heard that same theme a thousand times now, It does give the POV from bands that are starting to get into the scene or spotlight and I really think it’s a unique take from this song. Really great song, hopefully nothing can ruin my day.

Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks - Holy sh*t who thought that this was a good idea to slather what could’ve been a good track with a bunch of auto tune. It was starting really good with that instrumental until I heard Brendon’s singing with that auto tune. There are also some notes that he hits wrong so it makes it worse. With me bashing the song, I do have to appreciate the theme of battling alcoholism, as it is personal to Ross. Overall, it had potential but was executed poorly.

Camisado - This song is deep. It gives an unforgiving view on Ross' father’s inability to deal with his problems. I really found that saddening but it also helps to add another dimension to this track. The use of electronics was great and the lyrics are hard hitting now that I know the theme. The only problem I had at the time was Brendon’s voice but it eventually grew on me. Personally, I think this song tried to mimic what the last track did but this was executed better.

Time To Dance - Two words: SHOTGUN WEDDING! The production really shines with those electronics and this song shows off Brendon’s unique vocal range. Now I do want to explain the theme and the lyrics but I’ve never heard of the novel they based this song around with and it would probably just be me stating out the stuff that’s talking about In the song so to summarize this in one sentence, I like this song.

Lying Is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off - Ok the names are getting ridiculous. I do like the silent build-up in the verses so it could release all that energy into the chorus. I thought the production was great as it adds to the tension and Brendon’s singing was a bit faulty at some points, but it grew on me. I do like the fact that this song title leads up to the next song and it’s a reference from the movie: “Closer”. Overall, really great song.

Intermission - That synth is both catchy and annoying at the same time. I do like the piano section and the fact the that this divides the album from one side: Electronic pop-punk and the other: Baroque pop/rock. Kinda useless but I appreciate it.

But It’s Better If You Do - You know on first listens, Brendon’s voice had problems on some songs but there are songs that I really enjoyed on the first listen and this is one of them. The theme is a person is at a strip club wishing that he didn’t have to be there because of loneliness and that’s an interesting theme. I really love the production on here as it compliments well with Brendon’s voice and the lyrics. At the end of the song it transitions into “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” so that’s extra points. Really love this song.

I Write Sins Not Tragedies - I mean c’mon now, we all know this is a classic.

I Constantly Thank God For Esteban - I was kinda disappointed since I’ve been on a winning streak on this album and this song breaks it. This song just feels too pretentious with the lyrics and the chorus doesn’t blend with the production. The bridge also stops any momentum that was built previously on the track and Brendon’s delivery was a bit shaky. The only things I can complement on this song is the last chorus where the rock sound actually blends with the chorus, the production is decent, and the whole theme of the song about hypocrites being an interesting topic. Not even gonna lie, this might be even worse than “Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks” because at least that song had potential to be a great song and it did have its catchy segments. Overall, the worst track on this album.

There’s A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought Of It Yet - Note that this song title is so long that I just copy-pasted this because I am not typing all of that. When I first heard the song, I thought it was an unlikable song but after relistening to it, I do see the premise they were taking for but the song didn’t really hook me in that much. I do like the theatrical production combined with the storytelling, the song does give me a few chuckles on the lyrics and Brendon’s delivery is on fire here. However, that hook is such a mess that’s what I’ll say. Overall, it’s not one of my favorites but I don’t exactly hate it and I do appreciate what they were going for on this song.

Build God, Then We’ll Talk - This is probably the one song that I think deserves more praise. From the first time I heard it, I thought the verses were kinda off-key and didn’t have a melody but over time they did grow on me. I thought the production was nice, the chorus was great, and this song has the best lyrics (Imo) mocking the idea of prostitution. I also want to mention the cello section, which was beautiful. Overall, great closer to the album

Now what do I think about this album?

I personally think that this album was generally a great experience to start out with Panic! At the Disco. I really liked the theme of dividing the album with different sub-genres of pop punk with the electronics and the classical instruments. It also gave me some new favorite songs like “The Only Difference…”. The album does have some cons like most songs have a formulaic switch-up on the bridge section of the songs, and there are times that they are a bit too pretentious but overall, I really enjoyed this album.

I've run out of Panic! songs. I heard miss Jackson 828292912 times today and iDk what to listen to anymore so anywayyyy Best track from AFYCSO?

Viva Las Vengeance has almost arrived, and I thought it would be fun to look back at a Panic album every day leading up to its release. Because this post is made in excitement for the new album, I want to try to look at the positive side of each album as we go, so try to keep comments of things you dislike to a minimum please.

Panic's first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. What to say that hasn't already been said? This album is absolutely a classic. Every song fits together so well, and I personally think that to this day, this is their most fun album yet. This was also the album of long titles, with songs like The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is Press Coverage, or There's a Good Reason These Tables are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet. I understand why they stopped doing those, but it adds an extra element of charm to this album. And obviously, you can't talk about this album without mentioning I Write Sins Not Tragedies, the song that skyrocketed Panic into fame. I still think the song holds up to this day. It's so catchy, and the music video is just amazing.

My personal favorite song off this album is There's a Good Reason. It's got such an incredibly fun, dancy vibe while telling a crazy story at the same time. It's one of my favorite Panic songs of all time. Honorable mentions are But It's Better If You Do and Camisado.

I'm making posts like this for every album as we await Viva Las Vengeance, so I will update this page with links to the future albums as I go.

And I'm here for it

Edit: more specifically the song "there's a good reason..."

This was an uncredited quotation/imitation of Orson Welles's famous bookreading for a radio broadcast in 1938. Unsuspecting listeners of the show were reported to have mistaken it for the news and erupted in panic(!) over the terrifying events it described being mistaken as real.

Got reminded of this idea partially by but initially from the Weezer subreddit. Basically, their instructions were very well put and are as follows:

"I want to make an album that feels cohesive and thematically sound. Which means the best song choice per album might not wind up being the best or your favorite but fits with the tracks preceding it tonally. B-Sides are fair game too". (I'll let this include unreleased tracks/demos, cricket and clover, etc.)

I thought this idea would be very cool for our band's subreddit to see which songs you guys think would make the best mega-compilation album while not feeling like just a collection of songs. Feels appropriate given recent news and proper time to process this end of an era. Top upvoted comment after 24 hours gets kept!
