PANIC! AT THE DISCO "DEATH OF A BACHELOR" U.S. LP of 11 tracks by the alternative Las Vegas emo group on their 6th album from 2016. (Fueled By Ramen) 553138-1 in M-/M condition. Featuring 11 songs by lead vocalist Brendon Urie. Contains the FM favorites "Victorious", "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time" & "Hallelujah".
Formed in 2004, Panic! At the Disco came together when high school friends Spencer Smith (drums) and Ryan Ross(guitar) began covering blink-182 tunes together. After tiring of playing another group's material, they recruited two additional classmates, guitar/vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson, and the newly formed quartet decided to model their name after a line in Name Taken's "Panic." Crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical touches, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics, Panic! At the Disco posted several demos online that caught the attention of Decaydance Records, the Fueled by Ramen imprint headed by Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz. Even though Panic! At the Disco had yet to play a live show, they subsequently became the first band signed to Wentz's label.
Fast forward 12 years & 4 albums later to 2016. Panic! At the Disco's fifth studio album, “Death of a Bachelor”, is a volcano-sized martini glass of emotive, theatrical, genre-bending pop. The first album recorded by the band since the departure of drummer Spencer Smith, who officially left in 2015, it is largely the vision of lead vocalist and founding member Brendon Urie. Inspired by his 2013 marriage, as well as legendary vocalist Frank Sinatra's 100th birthday in 2015, “Death of a Bachelor” works as a loose concept album celebrating the end of Urie's party-hearty single life, and his creative maturation from emo-pop poster boy to self-styled rock sophisticate. Produced by Urie along with Jake Sinclair (Five Seconds of Summer, Taylor Swift, Pink), the album showcases an even more expansive sound than 2013's “Too Weird to Live, To Rare To Die!”, rife with touches of body-bumping hip-hop, Sinatra-esque lyricism, and anthemic, Queen-like exuberance. Panic! At the Disco have never been anything less than grandiose and “Death of a Bachelor” is no exception, revealing some of the group's most ambitious and over-the-top productions. With Sinclair, Weezer's Rivers Cuomo, Sam Hollander (Gym Class Heroes, Metro Station, Fitz & the Tantrums), and other collaborators at his side, Urie stuffs his songs with rambunctious, Beyonce-ready beats, laser-toned synthesizers, muscular guitars, and a peacock's array of double-tracked vocals. Thankfully, he doesn't sacrifice any of the group’s infectious melodicism and pop craftsmanship in the process. Cuts like the gospel-inspired "Hallelujah" and the swaggeringly cheeky "Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time," self-consciously built around the B-52's "Rock Lobster" guitar riff, are as catchy as anything Panic! has ever created. Impressively, the densely if deftly packed production does little to detract from the sheer brilliance of Urie's voice on cuts like the burnished title track and wild-eyed, post-party hangover anthem "Victorious." Urie even summons his best Sinatra-style vocal warmth on the album’s closer, the languid, stylishly world-weary ballad "Impossible Year." Ultimately, “Death of a Bachelor” marks the final transformation of Panic! At the Disco from egalitarian emo band to collaborative pop band headed with singular charisma by Urie the uncontested chairman.
