Album name:Pretty Odd
For Panic At The Disco s sophomore follow-up to their Decaydance/Fueled
By Ramen break-through debut 2005 s A Fever You Can t Sweat Out, the band holed up in a Las Vegas studio with renowned producer Rob Mathes. What they created is nothing short of a masterpiece, the 60 s pop-inspired Pretty Odd.
This time around, the band opted for real instruments and live tracking
over Pro Tools software, citing influences as The Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, and The Beatles. Says guitarist Ryan Ross in an interview with Billboard, We want to make music [that is] simple and timeless and not too pretentious.
The band also did additional tracking at the Abbey Road Studio in London,
adding a Beatles-esque flavor to their usual Vegas flare. The song lyrics have moved away from the whole one-liner, sarcastic thing says Ross, in favor of more everyday things. Lead single Nine In The Afternoon has the band showing a healthy dose of maturity, having grown as songwriters and instrumentalists.
