4/27/2023 0 Comments Panic at the disco albums![]() Panic! has always been 90 per cent showmanship but here Urie seems to have achieved his final form as a kind of deranged glee club leader who is the only person who can hear the actual songs beneath the chaos. As he sings on the glam ‘Middle Of A Breakup’: “Keep your disco / Give me T.Rex”. Pulling away from larger-than-life anthems about decadence and self-acceptance, this new record sees Urie channeling classic rock and talking to his younger self. It’s not something he’s remotely inclined to bogart anyway Urie comes off as a real fan of the stuff he’s channeling and wants to give you a secondhand ’70s buzz, too. Or maybe he’s getting high on some glam-rock or new-wave ghost’s supply. Being a mere lad of 35, Urie must’ve been tuning in to all these period FM sounds from some celestial, prenatal dimension. Nearly everything here is designed to evoke a fond remembrance of specific bands and sounds from the 1970s - give or take a late ’60s or early ’80s allusion. I didn’t realize I was making an album and there was something about the tape machine that kept me honest.” The result, Urie says, “is a look back at who I was 17 years ago and who I am now with the fondness I didn’t have before. Per the early reviews, it’s a little bit of a mess, but a warm and welcome one. Panic! At The Disco has just released their seventh studio album, entitled “Viva Las Vengeance.” It’s an album that doubles as a multi-generational jukebox, referencing ‘70s and ‘80s sounds and bands - and more beyond that.
