Ok, this is one of the most fabulously weird albums I've heard in a while. It was out there, but I loved it. It was a crazy mix of synth pop and electronica, and the result was an entirely unique and dramatically dark album. The beat is relentless and the tunes rocked my face off. The energy and passion level throughout the album is off the chain (my best friend just informed me that I cannot pull off saying "off the chain" to which I replied, "I know. And yet I feel compelled to say it. But the fact that I say words like 'compelled' instantly disqualifies me from saying any cool slang terms.") Even so, Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die is at bare minimum off the chain. The only fault I have is that it's slightly wordy for a title and therefore rather consuming to type out. But other than that, the album is nearly flawless.
I put almost every song on insta-repeat and I'm pretty sure you will too. Unless you only listen to music like oh, say Celine Dion or something. In that case, you will most certainly not enjoy this album. For the rest of you, check out Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die here:
DANG that is good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely into this new album! It's so different, but in a good way:)
DeleteLoved this band ever since their first album, they're so weird but in a good way!
ReplyDeleteSo I've been blogging for a while but written my first ever gig review today - would love if you'd check it out!

Hey, Cate! I'll definitely check it out! And if you'd ever like to do a guest post on my blog, feel free!
DeleteAs a distant relative of Brendon I'm biased, but I dig a lot of his tracks on this new record. What I love the most is that he's having a chance to find his unique voice aside from some of the creative power sharing he had with previous members of Panic. Awesome when you can see continued growth in a group over a period of albums like this one.
