Kerrang!Jan 19, 2016Like the soundtrack to a wedding reception, DOAB is Panic! At The Disco turnt up, both musically and lyrically. [9 Jan 2016, p.50]
-
Jan 27, 2016Ultimately, Death of a Bachelor marks the final transformation of Panic! At the Disco from egalitarian emo band to collaborative pop band headed with singular charisma by Urie the uncontested chairman.
-
Jan 15, 2016An unpredictable but spectacular ride through pop, rock and everything in between, it’s hard not to bowled over by Urie’s efforts yet again.
-
Jan 11, 2016Every note here sounds like the logical conclusion to the evolution of each preceding record--a remarkable achievement.
-
Jan 7, 2016For all of its precocious, borderline bratty moments, Death Of A Bachelor is a remarkably nuanced affair. [Feb 2016, p.95]
-
Jan 15, 2016Panic! At The Disco’s audience may perpetually renew itself with fresh teenagers, but Urie is maturing as an artist. He takes a lot of risks on Death Of A Bachelor, all of which pay off.
-
Jan 27, 2016On balance Death of a Bachelor is a commendable success.
-
Jan 15, 2016Bachelor doesn’t always hit.... But Urie’s charm and willingness to maximize his songs’ pop-spectacle quotient make Bachelor an often-delightful accompaniment to 2016’s earliest, chilliest weeks.
-
Jan 13, 2016Panic! at the Disco has always favored a style both steroidal and slick, and Mr. Urie isn’t out to reinvent it here.
-
Jan 7, 2016At the centre of Panic At The Disco’s best album yet is Urie himself. The charisma and eccentricity of the front man, matched by his jaw-dropping vocal acrobatics sees Urie finally become the ringmaster of his own circus.
-
Jan 15, 2016Unfortunately, he doesn’t ever capture the glittery theatrics of, say, Freddie Mercury or the impossible cool of Old Blue Eyes. Stomping tracks like “Don’t Threaten Me With A Good Time” and lyrics like “Champagne, cocaine, gasoline, and most things in between” don’t really jive with half-hearted saxophones and staccato jazz flares.... Still, longtime Panic! fans will find shining moments.
