The band's sound has changed a lot over the years. After Ryan Ross (Backup Vocalist) and Jon Walker (Bassist) left the group in 2009, Panic didn't release another album for 3 years, and when they did it was obvious that they were not the same band, and that they had matured into a much less chaotic and punk-rock sound. The new album focuses on a much more electronic sound and some autotune that, for the most part, actually works. The new sound is a welcome change. If you're one of those people who have already decided that you hate Panic! At The Disco, you should still give this album a chance, they sound way different than you may remember. Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die is streaming on Youtube and will be officially released on Oct. 8.

Panic! at the Disco is easily one of the most innovative bands out there. They're ability to re-make their sound every album and a willingness to experiment and take the big risks really distinguishes them from any other group.
