From the start, Panic! At the Disco was an oddball in the emo-pop court. The band had the mid-aughts haircuts and eyeliner but less in common with peers Fall Out Boy and Good Charlotte than Queen and Meat Loaf. And let that be a warning: It's impossible to describe P!ATD's seventh record without a ton of name-dropping. The title track combines Beach Boys harmonies with Attractions-era Elvis Costello giddiness; "Middle Of A Breakup" offers up
Brian May-like guitar and lines like "Keep your disco/ Give me T. Rex." "Sugar Soaker" references Sweet's shameless glam metal, Nazareth's cowbell and The Archies on espresso and whiskey, with frontman Brendon Urie showing off horndog wordplay: "Lil' sugar soaker/ Breaking my bed/ Red tail lights in the back of her head/ Such a cherry leather looker." Although started as a band of teenage friends from Las Vegas, P!ATD has evolved over the past 17 years into a solo project for frontman Urie, who is apparently feeling musically and personally nostalgic. "Star Spangled Banger"—which liberally borrows Phil Lynott's vocal delivery of Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town" for the verses—finds him summoning up high-school memories: "We are the kids from the underground," going to the mall for a lip ring and photo-booth makeout. Ditto "God Killed Rock and Roll," which spotlights "A little dreamer in the glow of the receiver … Blew out the speakers dancing in his sneakers." It credits Argent's Russ Ballard because the chorus interpolates "God Gave Rock and Roll to You" (made famous by KISS) but, structurally, the song copies the segments of "Bohemian Rhapsody" to a T. A lot of credit for this joyousness goes to co-writer Butch Walker, who had his own foray into glam-pop with 2006's The Rise and Fall of Butch Walker and the Let's-Go-Out-Tonites; and producer Mike Viola, whose recent work in folksy tunes (Mandy Moore, Johnathan Rice, Watkins Family Hour) belies his exuberant pop-rock background—with his underrated band Candy Butchers and singing the theme to the 1996 movie That Thing You Do!. But back to P!ATD: Excellent "Don't Let the Light Go Out" gives melodic credit to Janis Ian's "At Seventeen," and Urie is in the mood to offer hope to outcast teens biding their time in small-town claustrophobia, both on "Say It Louder" and "All by Yourself." That power ballad is his version of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful" or Pink's "Raise Your Glass"—"You always hated sports/ You buzzed your hair short/ Dyed it pink to piss them off ...They made a monster outta you/ But you're beautiful, you're tough ...You can change everything all by yourself." Even if you're decades past that period, it taps into a nostalgic insecurity and longing that never fully goes away. © Shelly Ridenour/Qobuz
