I'm supposed to be writing some sort of Political Science op-ed piece, but since I'm so easily distracted, and pretty apathetic towards the class I think I'll do something else. Also, it doesn't help I haven't listened to a lecture in a month and don't own the book yet.

So on the MTV website they had it set up so you could go on and listen to the entire new Panic at the Disco album. When I first heard this I was ecstatic at the chance to listen to one of my favorite artists new album a week before it came out. Unfortunately, my over joyous mood didn't stay at the apex it was at as I listened to the new stuff. There's nothing electronic. No beat machines, no synth, no super fast, off the wall, multi-syllabic words, nothing like that. They sound like a normal band, only somewhat mellow, and possibly even mainstream.

Now, I have no problem with them becoming mainstream. I wish them all the best in their music making career, but I liked them so much better as their original, techno-y selves. They were bizarre lyrically, musically, and image-wise, and that's part of what made them stand out so much.

I'm not completely sold on the new album - yet. I'll give it a few more listens, read the lyrics, watch whatever music videos they have, and then make my final decisions. However, I'm sad that the old Panic! was replaced with the new "Panic".
