I was so excited to get this album in the post, though it took all week to come.
On arrival I was excited also to see the origional Panic! style returning, it is clear from just the album art work that they are back on track.
First listen, starting with the already familiar Mona Lisa and moving into what are sure to be the next singles, it was good to hear Brendan Uries warm vocals and some great music - though not completly back to the first album it seemed.
A couple more listens and I'm sold, taking so great musical talent from the first album, a dash from the second and bringing an all new sound.
It's not like the first album as everyone says, it's not better but it is great and it is Panic! doing what they do right.
A couple of tracks I had to warm to moreso than others, like the varied notes of 'Always' and the choir of 'Nearly Witches' - though i'm sure as with any album these will probably become my favourites.
A great buy.
