    Totally has ELO written all over it and pieces of hooks borrowed from the Beatles. A huge mix of instrumentation and vocal arrangements demand some attention here; but the pay off is ample. I gave it 4 solid listens and now I'm hooked. One thing though- maybe it's just me but: The vocals are impeccable in an almost annoying way. It's like the singer is fake at times.

    I'm taken aback by how much I like this album. Panic had a strong debut, but it never once felt original. This album truly establishes an original identity for the band. The tunes are wonderfully musical, and I can't stop listening to it.

    A really good album on it's own, but a complete departure from what was generally expected.

    Decent sophomore effort. Been the main CD I've been listening to for the last week that I've had it. Different (but good) sound from the 1st album. I agree with reviews it sounds like they spent months discovering the Beatles. Although, as much as I like it, I feel the wheels drop off at track 11. Though 10 good, catchy tunes out of 15 isn't shabby. Worth the price? Yes.

    Probably the best new music I've heard in a long while. It's excellent that they're exploring other genres and adding variety to their repertoire.

After all, who wants to continue buying more of the same? Pretty. Odd. is a very fitting title for a great album that, while seemingly a large step away from 'Fever', is the marking of a band that could have a long, evolving history in the spotlight. The talented weaving of the album as a whole is, in a different manner, every bit as ambitious and original as the first album. We can only expect Panic(!?) to get better as time goes on and to continue introducing us to novel albums that are not carbon copies of the previous ones. Meanwhile, I will continue to listen to both 'Fever' and 'Pretty. Odd.' depending on which mood I'm in.… Expand

Panic is just exercise their musical optionns, and they did it pretty well. So what if they sound like the Beatles? A lot of bands do. If you don't like Panic's new sound then don't listen to them.

    Not a bad album by any stretch - much better than the first one, and much more original. If people criticized every band for sounding like or paying tribute to the Beatles, then almost every band since the 60s would be guilty of this. I think Panic has released a great album here, and though the sound does pay tribute to the Beatles, it's definitely a step of maturity for the band.

    A little while ago, I listened to A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, which is Panic! At The Disco’s first album. Having greatly enjoyed their debut, I couldn’t wait to listen to their follow-up, Pretty. Odd. The group seemed to ditch the orchestral bits for the most part, though they continue to incorporate strings pretty well into their music. I also couldn’t help but notice that they used panning techniques extremely well, and took advantage of the wonderful team that piano and guitar makes. The lyrics for the most part were as good as Fever, and I had a great time listening to a significant number of the songs on Pretty. Odd. I wish that I could give my entire song-by-song commentary, but the character limit won't let me. In general, I was pleased by the sophomore album from Panic! At The Disco. It seems with this that they are starting to find their sound, and I love seeing the development of different bands. I cannot wait to listen to their next, as I think Pretty. Odd. was fairly successful. The pop rock feel of a good number of songs in here is wonderful, and is something that I missed ever since I finished listening to Fall Out Boy’s new music. I will happily listen to more of Panic! At The Disco’s material, as I greatly enjoyed their first two albums. Fans of the first should like the second, as should people who are into pop rock.

    I recently listened back to this Album cause I saw that Panic! At The Disco were dropping a new Album so I decided to listen back to this Album cause I saw some critics calling it the former band now solo project’s best work and I have to fully agree on that. I love Pretty. Odd. I think it definitely stood out from most of the albums that dropped in 2008 and that is actually a really goodI recently listened back to this Album cause I saw that Panic!

I love Pretty. Odd. I think it definitely stood out from most of the albums that dropped in 2008 and that is actually a really good thing imo. On here we have some of my favorite Panic! Tracks till this day like "Nine in the Afternoon", "That Green Gentleman (Things Have Changed" which is just such a **** banger and one of the best Songs of all time imo. Behind the Sea and Northern Downpour were 2 Beautiful Cuts from the Album and out of the 15 Tracks on here I would say that only 1 Song on here was pretty bad imo and that was the 14th track "From a Mountain in the Middle of the Cabins" and honestly I thought that track had lots of potential cause I love the writing on there just like 90% of this Album but personally I really don't like Brendon Urie's voice over the beat on this song its just so hard to listen to. So Overall "Pretty. Odd." By Panic! At The Disco was a pretty good Album and even tho it was a big big shift from their previous Album "A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out" it is still very Underrated and just Overall a banger Album which I think is a Strong 8 out of 10.… Expand

    The album is good and the sounds the band creates are well executed. Probably their best work.

    More often than not (and this is the kicker, ladies and gentlemen), Pretty. Odd. is just pretty dull.

    Even when it's over the top, which is basically always, Pretty. Odd. sounds cheerful, with a broad sense of humor that does honor to the noble legacy of ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne.

    Pretty.Odd lives up to its title because it dares to be optimistically beautiful at a time when sadness and ugliness might have won them easier credibility. [Apr 2008, p.92]
