Love this album! It's definitely a change from Panic!'s usual angsty, Emo-ish kind of music, but that's certainly not a reason to not buy it. It's much calmer and mellow than what Panic has put out before. It's also great for Beatles Fans, because you can tell it has taken inspiration from some of the '60s pop group's track. I find this most prominent in "Behind the Sea" which reminds me of the imagery in "Across the Universe" from Let it Be and the beat is like "In My Life" from Rubber Soul. All in all, great album for anyone.

“Northern Downpour” is the best.

It's really different from other Panic! albums. Its peppy, and it sure is great.

11 years later and I still cry while listening to northern downpour. Thanks Ryan

Pretty. Odd. is inspired by folk rock and many classic rock artists such as Beatles and Beach Boys. Combined with Panic! At The Disco's iconic vocals of Brendon Urie (now along with Ryan Ross) and present signature style, this calmer album creates Panic!'s most unique sound to date. In this sense, it's nearly their best. With notable songs including Nine In The Afternoon, Do You Know What I'm Seeing?, Northern Downpour, Behind The Sea, and She Had The World, this is sure to satisfy.

Yeah, okay... this album doesn't have the same sound as their first one, but is that a bad thing? They tried something a little risky and definetly pulled it off

I could honestly talk for hours about the beauty of this album, and that is not even funny because it's entirely true. This is the Panic! album where there is not one bad song for everything is just plain perfect. Maybe it's the fact I grew up in a really bohemian, hippy environment as a kid and listened to the music of the 60s, but God it's magnificent. This will be the Panic! album that will last the longest, and it's all because of the innovation and originality (in 2008 cause everything was emo or pop) they all possessed. I feel the fact that Brendon, Ryan, Jon, and Spencer wrote together as band and did more things as a group also builds the beautiful, nostalgic, and welcoming sound of Pretty. Odd.

I've noticed that not only were all of these reviews written the same time the album was released, but really the biggest complaint was how different Pretty. Odd. was compared to A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Since the initial shock of this album's differences is long gone, I think it's a lot easier to see how amazing this album is. Sure it's different, but that's not a bad thing. Pretty. Odd. is catchy and insightful. Sometimes it's even my favorite of their albums. Some of my favorites from Pretty. Odd. are Do you Know What I'm Seeing?, That Green Gentleman, and Northern Downpour. I just wanted to write a positive, current review so that newcomers wouldn't be deterred from this wonderful album by the reviews of people who were just surprised by the different sound:)

Tbh, I was expecting more of their previous sound, but I was pleasantly surprised! I love all their albums, but every one brings a new sound to the table and I love that about them. This is definitely more folksy I guess? It’s definitely not the emo edgy scene they’re known for, and hey, that’s ok! I feel like a lot of people are upset because it’s too “different” from their previous music, but I think that this album is its own album and people just need to accept that it’s not the same as a fever you can’t sweat out. Once you accept it, you can throughly enjoy it! Thanks for reading, and I realize how late I am to post this review, but I recently bought the album and felt the need. ✨

tHIS WHOLE ALBUM IS SO GOOD AND NORTHERN DOWNPOUR REMINDS ME OF RYAN AND BRENDONS RELATIONSHIP AND ITS SAD AND MAKES ME CRY AND THE WHOLE ALBUM IS SO GOOD

Honestly, despite what other people say, I really love this album. It has some of my favorite songs on it. Although I really love panic's old style of music, this is also really great.

"old panic" what old panic. this is the old panic. everyones gotta try something new. anyway this album is one of their best.

K so they're like "were still going to be the same panic!" Then they pick up a banjo and start yodeling

While "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" remains my favorite work by Panic!, I must say that this album provides a more mellow and different sound, but an excellent one nonetheless.

Nine in the Afternoon and Northern Downpour are the only tracks worth listening to.

As much as I hate to say this coming from a big P!ATD fan I hated this album. I missed the taste from the first album. To me it has the Beatles or beach boys taste in it. It's not as energetic as the first album had. Don't buy it.

Awesome stuff here guys Good investment

OML HOW AMAZING IS THIS ALBUM?1? I'm sure you've heard the infammous "Nine in the Afternoon", but there's more to this album. "Northern Downpour" breaks your heart in the best way possible, "That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed)" gives you a sweet spoonful of nostalgia, and "She had the World" makes you want to sing it 24/7. Yes, this album gives off a Beatles vibe, but it still shines in every prospect.

This will always be my favorite Panic! Album, if you're contemplating buying this with that leftover Christmas iTunes money,... Do it.

Pretty. Gay. Ryden was real.

I absolutely love this album. Sure, it's not as pumped up as the previous one, but they pull off this new style flawlessly and that's absolutely amazing. I love an artist that is able to produce various different kinds of music and be able to make it sound good. Good job Panic! And I can't wait to see what else y'all, well I guess now it's just Brendon, concoct in the future.

It is just so calming I love it ✨💞

I only like one song on here :/

Okay, I know this is an oldie but this album has a special place in my heart. When my Dad passed in ‘08 and I had just turned 19 , this album helped get me through SO MUCH in one of my toughest times. It still does to this day. I am so grateful beyond words.

So many different styles, melodies, instruments, and moods packed into one album, and it all fits so well. The title, Pretty. Odd. definitely fits. The band really went outside of any popular bands comfort zone and just tried to make good music and unique sounds. The "true P!ATD fans" might say this album is worse than all of their other music, but it's really not. It's just different, and in my opinion much better. Your opinion might be different, just don't be biased because of the other music they make and what some fans might say.

Shut the heck up with the bad reviews. Yes, this album is very different from A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, but that doesn’t mean it’s not good.

Although I may not be one of those ‘right from the start’ Panic! Fan, This album was amazing. It was great when it first came out, and it is great (and kinda somber) now. After Ryan Ross left the band I came back and listened to these songs all over again and I must say, Things HAVE changed for Brendon Urie. 10/10

Very nice folk sound. Panic can make music in any genre .

i love it has a great mix of different genres and i just love the band in general

Don't you guys remember "swear to shake it up if you swear to listen?" That's exactly what they did and have been doing. I for one absolutely love this album. The songs all have something about them that make them different and unique. I miss the pre split days...

Pretty. Odd. does not follow the same style as Panic!'s debut album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Most musicians would have never strayed from their new successful sound but Panic! breaks down the music, adds new instruments, and is influenced by some of the greatest musicians in history. While their debut album told a lyric story of sex, money, and addiction, Pretty. Odd. tells a musical story of fantasy with stacked harmonies, Beatlesque chord progressions, and a baroque sound. By far Panic!'s most musically advanced album.

Being the pre-split trash that I am, I'd have to say this is the best of p!'s records. Buy it.

I absolutely loved this album by them. It was definitely a change from "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" but it sounds so good! "Pretty Odd" felt like a storybook, each song telling a different tale. Made you wonder what the next song would be about. I think this my favorite album by Panic.

Listened to this album while high. Completely unmatched experience. Will definitely do again.

At copying The Beatles. Huge fail.

Gee, I joined the 'sinners' aka Panic! At The Disco fans once the song Hallehluja dropped. So I 'binged listened' to ALL their albums, and they won't disappoint! Get the Bands other albums: • A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005) • Pretty.Odd. (2008) • Vices and Virtues (2011) • Too Weird To Live! Too Rare To Die! (2013) • Death Of A Bachelor (2016) Each album has a different beat! I know it's 2016 now and this album was released 7.5 years ago, but it's still amazing! (I cri). Spend you Valentines Day with Brendon, Jon, Ryan, and Spencer! Bai!

listening to this album is literally like skipping through an open field dressed as a hippie accompanied by ryan ross and his beautiful lyrics, 9/9 in the afternoon

This album was defiantly different then all the others, but calming in a way. I would say most of the songs are soothing and metaphorical, and like folk music. Either way, it is still an iconic album.

this album was so hated on upon its release in 2008, despite peaking at number two on the billboard 200. it's a very mature style shift from a fever you can't sweat out, but the softer harmonies between band members and the twangy guitars that drive songs like nine in the afternoon and she's a handsome woman, this album is a masterpiece and it's a shame that the band hardly plays it live anymore.

I will literally die this album is so great. ryans voice is flawless

Album to album = telling strangers random things about my obsession over Panic!. I love studying the style evolution of some bands and comparing the different bands. This album is the most different because of the folkish air and sincerity of most of the songs. Thank you for your attention, Serenity singer

Incredible as always!

Just read the title

It’s awesome, P!ATD is my life lol but it’s my least favorite album. Still a decent album though.

(Disclaimer: I was joking about the title, but SERIOUSLY) I feel as though this album has been extremely unfairly reviewed. Most of the people giving it such low ratings haven't cited anything but their own preferences - not Panic!'s lack of musical skill - yet deem the album deserving of a lone star. They also claim that the album is slow, not at all catchy, and poorly written lyrics-wise. I can argue the same point for two of their much-more-appreciated albums! Gosh darn it, when will people actually become mature enough to understand how to properly review things? Anyway, ranting aside... Several of my friends are obsessed with Panic! at the Disco and attempted to get me into them. I'd already heard "I Write Sins Not Tragedies" and somewhat liked it (though I'm probably biased because I love string instruments), so I previewed their highest-rated albums at the time (Vices and Virtues and TWTLTRTD). I was disappointed by how lazily done they seemed even though I can appreciate all genres of music - certain parts of each had potential that was never reached (that was mostly the case for V&V while Too Weird was just not executed well), and thus, they weren't fun listens. I felt stupid for disliking them as everyone else had showered them in praise that I myself had let go down the shower drain without a thought (that was bad). So I, being extremely bored, decided to preview their other two albums to see whether they were any good. Happening upon Pretty. Odd.'s rating made me feel as though maybe some people had finally shared my opinion on the band, so I tuned in out of curiosity. And at first listen, I was intrigued - not by its quality but by how uniquely each song was arranged even though some of their melodies were so simple. I was so intrigued, in fact, that I decided to preview it sev'ral more timez until I could pick out the intricate harmonies and instrumental variations in each. It reminded me a bit of listening to Sgt. Pepper, but somehow, Pretty. Odd. was so much more immersive an experience than the former (while also taking a lot longer to truly grow on me). Again, I'm probably biased as I like more of The Beatles' albums than Panic!'s and therefore had lower expectations for the latter, but I was still surprised that this was the case. As the album grew on me, I (surprisingly enough, what with me being an extremely nit-picky musician who has perfect pitch) became nothing short of amazed by the quality of the album (which I hadn't initially noticed). Though the sum of its parts sounded a tad bit simple as others have said, each part of that sum was done with a sort of complexity that requires respectable musical skill. This respectable musical skill inevitably led me to respect the band more and check out its fanbase...which I now have marginal (and reluctant) respect for as a whole. That being said, this album isn't perfect. It is definitely not my favorite album of all time, either. Regardless, however, its style is a refreshingly unique one in today's market and the band's own pool of music, so I appreciate it greatly. Kudos to Panic! Note: I now also like Death of a Bachelor and A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, the latter of which I'd initially found mediocre at best and the former of which I've literally just listened to. I guess listening to this album has taught me how to better appreciate the small things I claim others miss! And, as it turns out, my P!ATD-obsessed friends are just as divided as the iTunes review section on this topic. Pretty. Odd. manages to be one of my friends' favorite albums while another seems to hate it - who woulda thunk it?

They swore to shake it up and we swore to listen! I love this album so much. I usually don’t like this specific type of music, but Panic! knows how to make it work.

Between the great atmosphere this album provides and the poetic and sometimes strange lyrics provided by Ryan Ross, this album is amazing. It’s a shame that this was all that was left of him in the band, (and pretty much music altogether too) he was an excellent lyricist.

I get why people who were expecting another AFYCSO are disappointed, but if they stop and listen to it, they would realize that there's some really great music on here. Just because it's not the techno you were expecting doesn't mean it can't be good. It grows on you. Since it's been out for a long time, I already knew how different it was. I admit it would be a bit jarring to listen to it expecting the first album, but give it a chance. I didn't listen to it before buying it and am pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect to like the slowness, but they're good songs. Don't let the bad reviews scare you away from getting it. Those who were shocked by the change didn't listen to the very first song of the first album. Pretty. Odd. is Panic! shaking it up, guys. ;)

I love this album so much!!!! It's my favorite album of all time! The songs are so adorable and bubbly. My personal favorites are I have friends in holy spaces, northern downpour, and she had the world

Sure it’s not like their other albums but it’s still pretty good. Northern Downpour is probably my favorite song on this album.

Everybody stop this is in 2018 and they change their sound every album so stop getting mad that is not like a fever you can’t sweat out they focused on more acoustic that is why they sound similar

This record is fantastic. It's a real journey, a real record, and a real concept. I wasn't a fan of their first record, but this instantly caught my attention. It's so masterfully done. If you loved Sgt. Pepper's you'll love this record.

How is this album rated only 3.5 stars? This, in my opinion, is better than their first. I can listen to it over and over, and the songs are so original I love them all!

FIRST OFF, BUY FEVER YOU CANT SWEAT OUT, This album is amazing! not as good as their first one, but amazing none the less, if you are a PATD fan, i have 3 words for you: click 'buy album"

The music is pretty good, but they've lost the edgier harder sound that they had from their first album. I was kind of expecting more but it is still pretty good. Don't expect it to be similar to their first album, but I am glad they've kept the awesome lyrics that they come up with :)

This is a big change from their debut album, but definetly worth waiting for. The album showed off Ryan's singing talents that were also shown in live versions of their most loved songs. Songs like "That Green Gentlemen" , "Pas de Cheval" and "Mad As Rabbits" have the same crazy-ness as their debut album but songs like "Northern Downpour" and "She Had the World" have an interesting twist that adds beauty to the album, these songs are about as close as it gets to love songs. They are beautiful and "She Had the World" made me cry when I first heard it. Panic at the Disco has grown from an angsty teenager to a recovering gentleman in just a couple of years, I can't wait to see the wacky-ness they come up with for their next album.

Now, I've read the rest of the reviews of this album. Many people loved their first album, and disliked this one... Personally, I found the first album was mediocre at best. They would write a beautiful chorus, then butcher it with the verse, or write a beautiful verse and the rip it to pieces with the chorus. Now, I'm a metal freak. I love my metal. I bought Metallica's latest CD: Death Magnetic. Listened to it all the time. When I picked up this album (A few months late, mind you), I completely dropped Death Magnetic. This album overtakes all other albums, in my personal opinion. The "We're so Starving" flow into "Nine in the Afternoon" gives me chills every time! I sit down and listen this album the full way through, every single time. There's not a track I don't love, or appreciate. Many of these tracks are musical perfection and genius, in my humble opinion. A definite buy for any audiophile or true lover of music. (Though I would suggest the CD, rather than Itunes quality!!!!!!)

I LOVED Panic! At the Disco when they first came out. A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was amazing, an instant classic to me, but now... Some of it's okay, but... 'Mad As Rabbits'?! That's terrible! They've traded their alternative sound for this country-pop mess. Of course I bought it, and skip past most of it on shuffle, but I still behind them. I'll wait patiently for the next CD (if there is one...) and I'll continue to tell people that they're my favorite band (pre-Pretty.Odd. and with the exclamation mark, of course)

I love this album its absolutely AMAZING! If you buy it you'll LOVE IT! Its different then they're first album. They seem more mature. The first album was just as good has this one!buy both!

if you try to sing a song or tap the beat with your feet, it's still a big deal!!! the first album had the same problem and i'd been told this one was different. it is different, yes, the style is different, more oldish, but the beat is still unstable. but, nine in the afternoon is not as bad as i could think. still some beat errors, but basically a good song.

Its different than the first album by much. Which makes me appreciate P!ATD much more, it takes alot of guts to go from a sound that you've established which you know your fans like, to a sound that is different. Congrats Panic!, you've got a chart topping album.

I love panic at the disco so much but when i looked at this new cd and listen to all the songs it was very disapointed nothin was the same sound they sounded like a really old in time vertion and i didn't like it at all i loved there first cd but this one was not the same at all and many people i think feel the same way i do like nine in the afternoon and that green gentilmen but thats it everything elts is boring and old. srry i loved u guys.(L)

Ok. My review is probably verrrry biased because I'm a HUGE panic fan, but I just thought I'd say that this is an AMAZING album! Yes, it's quite different from A Fever You Can't Swear Out, but honestly who would want two of the same CD? Each song is unique in it's own way and it's also great that you get to hear Ryan Ross' vocals as well. Bottom line: This album is definately every penny; simply because there's nothing else like it out there right now and because it's an absolute work of art.

It's very sad that Panic came out with this album. Everything sounds the same. It's unfortunate that they've inflicted this sub-standard album on the public.

Let's face it. I'm absolutely NOT a fan of the Beatles, and sounds almost exactly like them. Where'd all the upbeat songs go? They all sound pretty much the same, unlike A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. I understand they've "grown up". I'm a fan of them, and I'd been long awaiting this album, but considering the time it took for it to be finished, I had high expectations. Unfortunately, this didn't meet them. If you like the Beatles, then this is definitely for you. If you like the old Panic, then definitely only download Nine in the Afternoon, because thats the closest you'll get to Fever, and please, preview all of the songs before you go buying the album, or else you might be dissapointed.

this cd is just a huge disappointment...I would not recommend wasting your money on this...nine in the afternoon is the only song I don't really mind, and it still doesn't even come close to "a fever you can't sweat out"

I think that this band has really progressed, and that they knew the risk of ever even making a second album, either way people weren't going to be happy with it. It was either going to be too different, or the same thing we heard on Fever. The first album was amazing, and may never be one-upped, but this one gets close. This album leaves many doors open for them, and i think they should continue developing and exploring different genres of music. Exclamation marks don't sell albums, music does, and this album is all the exclamation I need. A true fan can accept change and progression, just look at AFI's fanbase, many have been with them from the beginning, and their sound has changed drastically. I say we can expect big things from Panic at the Disco, and I look forward to future albums.

Okay, so ive waited for this album for about 4590734 years. When my friend steph told me that it was coming out soon, i was STOKED. So i finally got the CD and listened to it. Im Dissapointed. Its nothing like their old stuff, its still good, but all of their songs sound pretty much the same on this album. The only one i actually liked, was "nine in the afternoon". All the songs are the same pace, with the same guitar, and the same rythm. The first time of listening too it, you cant really tell when a song starts, or ends. It kinda reminds me of the beatles, i dont know, its pretty mellow and stuff. But yeah, its still a good CD but i f i were you i wouldnt buy the whole thing, id just get some songs from it.

It's different then there first album, but still great

I LOVE THIS ABLUM YAY OMGOMG I LOVE IT I LOVE IT YAY BRENDONS SUCH A CUTIE

This album was taking 4-ever to come out!!!! I couldn't wait any longer and then finally it was here. I know that it has taken a lot of work and this is one of their best albums so far! I love Panic at the Disco!

im suprisingly enjoying it. i reccomend it to most people.

Alright well... Unfortunetly, as many have said already, the album isn't that great... Panic! At The Disco (They removed the " ! " but I still put it for old time sake) has lost their sound... They're older more intellectualy poetic and mean songs are no where present in this album... Such a shame...

Amazing record!!! Very different sound than A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (their first cd). Sounds a lot like they are trying to be more classical. Definitely worth listening to the whole record. I like She Had the World as well as Pas De Cheval. Good job guys!!!
