I'm sure you know I'm referencing "I write sins not tragedies" by Panic! at the Disco.
When I first heard this song, obviously, the hook drew me in. But I figured it was just some other stupid emoriffic song that would be all over the radio. But after catching it on the radio a few more times, I realized it's actually a very interesting song. I also noticed that it never has a single rhyme in it. Some would argue that if you can't rhyme, it's because you're not a good songwriter. In this case, I think the point is made better like it is.
Anyway, I love this song now. I've not heard anything else from Panic! at the Disco, but I did catch the video for "I write sins not tragedies". It's really, really well done. It's been a LONG time since a band or artist actually put together an interesting music video that suited the song so perfectly.
I won't be buying the CD until I hear a few more good singles. But if the follow up singles are as good as "I write sins not tragedies", I'll gladly throw down my $15.99 in support of a good band.
Anyone else hear other tunes by these guys? Any other songs that are pretty good?
I personally think these guys can go **** themselves. They're annoying and they suck.
No guitar riffs, right? :D
I like all kinds of music. Like you, Fei, I thought it was some gay emo bull****. It turns out to be some mix of electronipunkdance music! I totally love Panic! and hope they stick around for a while. Try listening to "Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off" and "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage". :)
Edit: Huh, I never noticed the not-rhyming thing before. That's pretty cool. <3 the weird video, too.

I can already hear the RIAA executives giggling in glee.
I bought the CD as well, but I regret it. "I write sins not tragedies" is the only song on the CD that I really enjoy listening to. The rest is all lame.
This is so far from what I look for in music that I could never have a decent discussion over this band. People request it where I work though, so I have to play it, to which I last responded with 15 minutes of Esoteric to even things out.
Do it. Your music can't be any more annoying than the Celtic stuff I like.
A couple of months ago I was one of the people that had already listened to all of their songs before they became really well-known. I have to say back then, I really enjoyed their music. I listened to over 15 of their songs, and enjoyed almost all of them. So, if you're not into any hardcore stuff, these guys are really good.
To this day, I have successfully only heard this song one time, courtesy of my sister, and I wish never to hear it again...
The first time I heard this song I was like "**** this song is awsome". And I still think it is. I wish my mom knew how to close my *** **** door.

panic at the disco makes me wanna dance like a crazy freak. then again i pretty much am one.
I may not be able to understand any words if they are said, but if it sounds good to me I'd be willing to give it a shot.
I can pretty much guarantee it won't :) Check [url=http://vgchat.com/showthread.php?t=15623]this[/url] thread if you're genuinely interested.
All of their other songs are good. My personal favorites are "Build God, Then We'll Talk" and "There's a Reason These Tables are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of it Yet."
Wow. Are all of their song names essay-length?
Go to hell. It's good. You have to admire their effort for not rhyming. But letting the msuic flow.
It takes effort to be able to make it flow good.
I'm with Jordo on this one. The words don't have to rhyme to make a good some. Panic! at the Disco's songs are good examples of that point.
Thank you panic!
You're welcome. Lol. It's kid of obvious I like them. Look at the username. ;)
I agree that it's not really something admirable. It's a cool quality in a song though.
Making it flow good does. I've heard other bands that try to do this and it's just crap.
FLOW WELL, *** ****IT! FLOW WELL!
Jeez, make your grammar flow well, okay? Even if it does take more effort than not having a song rhyme.
Wow, it's so weird to know that the songs of Panic! At the Disco that I heard in January, some people are just STARTING to hear. Shows the way mainstream works....
You mean like how mainstream music is usually horrible? Yeah, I agree.
Not all mainstream sucks. Nothing personal Shade. But if you hate mainstream just because it's mainstream, you have problems. Give things a chance. I give underground music a chance. I usually like a lot of it too.
He said mainstream is usually horrible. Which is true. Pay attention before you start yapping.
This thread is like watching Raptor verbally own a retard.
I don't have any analogies left in me, sorry.
Why should we hate something for being popular though?
We shouldn't. Music is subjective, so you can like what you like and not have to worry about what other people think about your tastes.
and therefore, stupid to argue against a bunch of people who are clearly stating an opinion.
The one thing I'm trying hard to figure out is why everyone keeps talking about the closing the door line. Is it the door to the closet they might or might not be hiding in?
(No offense meant to any individuals of preferences which won't be elaborated upon.)
[quote=Killer Jordo]Why should we hate something for being popular though?We don't. We hate PATD because they suck balls. Their music is unlistenable, they're too lazy to rhyme, they have no talent whatsoever, and they suck in idiots like you who believe that being too lazy to rhyme is somehow artsy.
Wouldn't that mean that one of the standards of making a good song is to rhyme?
No, but one of the standards of making a bad song is going against the grain and being alternative by not rhyming and being uNiQuE lIkE eVeRyOnE eLsE.
So, in turn, conforming to rhyming makes it good because it doesn't follow the current Panic! trend?
SHORT VERSION: They're bad because they sound bad.
They're bad because:
1: They just are.
2: They can't even create rhyming music.
3: They're overrated.
4: They have only one song that people even know about.
5: Their name is stupid.
6: I could go on, but I don't have all day.
I didn't start it. That's basically what he implied. :/
It's funny, because we're having a hard time agreeing on why they're not good.
Truth: Whatever reason you give for not liking PATD, you're right. No matter what the reason is.
I really like that song "Lying is the Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off". I like how he sings it, and I do like the lyrics, even if they don't rhyme.
I guess that my list of reasons why they're no good is now inaccurate, since they have a new video out with another song in it. They're also being sued by their former bass player.
