Negative Positive
Title: Completely Underwhelming
Review: In search of some new music to listen to, I borrowed a couple of CD's from a Co-worker. One of the CD's I grabbed was "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out". I'd heard some good things about Panic! At The Disco and I was completely ready to like this album; until I listened to it. What I heard didn't impress me. These guys are basically a pop-punk/emo fusion with a dance beat. Someone else who posted a review here mentioned their use of instruments that don't appear in the genre often, and that is true... but I somehow suspect that has more to do with the producer than the band. The last song on the album was the most interesting one, but it almost reminded me of "Mr. Bungle"-lite; genre changing just for the sake of it. From the looks of the comments here I'm pretty well outside the target demographic for this album, so that might explain my dislike of it. That said I can think of a few hundred albums I would recommend before this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
