Many Panic! fans and haters are dismissing this as something they did not expect from the band that released "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" 3 years ago.
I was a fan of old Panic! and am now a massive fan of new Panic too. This album has a beautiful sound and atmosphere to it.
This album definitely has influences from The Beatles. I doubt many teens are listening to The Beatles, so this is a really nice way of introducing it to people today.
This is definitely a very brave direction for Panic to take, I think they deserve a lot more respect for such a massive change in their sound, and I love it.
