Pretty Odd.

I won't lie, I was a huge fan of Panic! at the Disco's debut album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. The album was a good time from start to finish, with great hooks and clever lyrics all along the way. I was looking forward to their sophomore release, Pretty Odd, on March 25th, hoping honestly for more of the same. Unfortunately, it seems like the boys of Panic were listening to The Beatles way too much, and Pretty Odd comes across as a horrible knock off of McCartney/Lennon without the great lyrics and arrangements. Save yourself the time and energy and let this one sink into the abyss.
