Panic At The Disco - Do You Know What I’m Seeing?
So I finally heard the new Panic CD “Pretty. Odd.” while at work today (which came out March 28th). I have to admit, it’s pretty good! It definitely sounds a bit more mature from what we heard on their debut album, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out. They are definitely channeling their inner Beatle…
This particular song caught my attention while I was doing some work today, and forced me to stop what I was doing and just. listen. The chorus is so catchy and melodic, and the strings give the song a certain richness. The song gradually builds its instrumentation, keeping things interesting and complex without making their music too busy and hard to follow.
Other favorite tracks include- That Green Gentlemen (Things Have Changed), When The Day Met The Night, and She Had The World (which has harpsichord and strings, etc. Absolutely beautiful!) You don’t have to be a diehard fan to know when something sounds good.
Enjoy!
I had always written them off as one of those bands until my roommate sat me down and forced me to listen to their whole album. A little on the repetitive side, at least their first effort was, but throughly listenable. Good work tunes for sure because they just blended into the background.
