Panic! At The Disco: But It’s Better If You Do
The emo revival gathers a Panic-y pace
Panic!At The Disco
Listen to full tracks now. Users outside the UK can hear 30-second clips of each song.
Everyone’s favourite gaudy city of sin, Las Vegas, may be better known for reducing grown men to trembling wrecks, but since The Killers bounced out in their dinner jackets, it looks there’s more to the city’s musical scene than Elton John’s camp-ola shows for a million Benjamins a pop. Panic! At The Disco are the latest Vegas escapees to wield pretty boy power pop that’s more rousing than an MDMA enema.
This is one of the more straightforward tracks from deranged debut ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’; albeit with these things being relative (for the sheer hell of it, there’s a breakdown that sounds like Slayer doing Tex Mex). From under their painfully lovely hair, Brendon Urie and his gang bounce about this track like evil chipmunks weaned on a diet of Blink 182 and ’80s electro. Despite rather heavy lyrical story (gets dumped, feels bad, goes to strip joint to forget about being dumped, feels even worse afterwards); it should have Fall Out Boy’s Pete Wentz – the man who discovered them – thinking he maybe should have just left them in the desert after all, because this is competition if ever we heard it.
