Jul 4, 2018This is Panic! At The Disco, but I have to admit this is probably the weakest release under the name. The songs all sound (mostly) the same and there really is nothing unique about this album. Despite having catchy tunes, this is not “Death of a Bachelor” quality as we should now expect. Over all, I think Pray For The Wicked is meh.

Jun 23, 2018I was looking forward to this Panic album for a while, so you can imagine my disappointment when I heard this pop/trap/electro swing(?) album instead. It's not a bad album by any means, but it's not great either. I'm all for artists changing up their style with every release, heck it's what this band is known for, but this just sounds like a watered down version of their last release.

Jun 24, 2018A fun album that just doesn't quite manage to keep you emotionally invested. Well produced, catchy songs though.

Jun 22, 2018El álbum en sí no es malo, sólo que para mí abusa de los arreglos de voz en algunas canciones y no alcanzo a distinguir instrumentos como la guitarra, que sólo noté en Old Fashioned.

Sep 16, 2018This record fails where Panic! is best at. Making songs you can blast, but here, most of the songs feel like a firework that flies to the sky without exploding, they don't flow, they feel rushed and forced. The lyrics are also probably the worst from Panic!

Sep 6, 2018This band made two good albums at the beginning of their career but Brendon Urie took the reins and turned it into a forgettable pop project. What a shame and what a waste.

Jun 22, 2018It's a good album, not the best, not the worst. The instrumental in some of the songs and brendon voice are really good.

Jun 28, 2018I was really optimistic about this album, especially after hearing Say Amen(Saturday Night) but I was very disappointed. There are more songs that I hate than like overall. It feels way too repetitive and gets very tedious after a few listens.

Jul 13, 2018The Weakest panic album by far, its just pop with a jazz twist to make it somewhat bearable

Apr 26, 2019I've got to say, pretty generic, with some good tension chords throughout which I always like, but mostly a sleek and maximalist produced pop album trying to cover up for its mediocrity and successfully failing at it. Not the best.

Mar 5, 2020Brendon... I mean Panic! Have fully embraced mainstream pop music and have produced this album of absolute bops mixed with some absolute stinkers. The main takeaway from this is that it's now completely the Brendon Urie show and he's now turned his back on what made the band what they are now. Key tracks: High Hopes, Silver Lining, Roaring 20s. 52/100

Jun 29, 2018The poignant album-ending ballad “Dying In LA” makes you wish there had been more tracks showcasing Urie’s pop-transcending emotive vocals.

Kerrang!Jun 27, 2018It feels harsh to criticise a Panic! At The Disco record for being bold and exploring its brash nature to the fullest. ... But there's no getting around the fact this one feels like it could have done with a defter touch and some sonic restraint. [30 Jun 2018, p.53]

Jun 26, 2018Between horns, strings, synths, guitars and all the rest this record is definitely an attack on the senses and shows Urie's knack for constructing a radio-friendly hit, but delve below the surface and it doesn't have much to offer. Certainly not enough to justify diminishing returns for a long running act, definitely not enough to keep me coming back for anything but the first few beats.
