    I don't really like it, sorry. I think that since Jon Walker and Ryan Ross left the band several years ago, the band has taken a complete nosedive. I thought Miss Jackson was a terrible song when I first heard it. I have been a fan since they first came out, but I'm not digging this album. Way too poppy and mainstream.

    Just wasn't a fan of this album. Been a fan since the beginning and I wanted to like the album and tried to like I just couldn't do it. It was a had a very modern pop sound to it and I simply didn't enjoy it.

    Disappointed. As a big fan of both A Fever You Can't Sweat Out and Vices & Virtues, and a decent fan of Pretty. Odd., I must say this is my least liked album from them. I didn't care for Miss Jackson when it was first released, but I told myself it would get better with their next single, and it was. This Is Gospel is a great song. Catchy, has those rock undertones that I need to keepDisappointed. As a big fan of both A Fever You Can't Sweat Out and Vices & Virtues, and a decent fan of Pretty. Odd., I must say this is my least liked album from them. I didn't care for Miss Jackson when it was first released, but I told myself it would get better with their next single, and it was. This Is Gospel is a great song. Catchy, has those rock undertones that I need to keep interested in music, and Brendon Urie's voice is beautiful and powerful, but after that track, it all goes downhill. Panic! has lost much of its rock influence in this album, and it feels more like a "night at the club" hip-hop, dance, and rock album. The only track that slightly redeems Panic! after This Is Gospel, is the final, The End of All Things. Probably one of the best Panic! songs I've ever heard. But when you put it in an album that overall sounds like a male version of "Get this Party Started" by Pink, it's just awful. I sure hope they learn from this experience, and change their ways in the years to come… Expand

    Panic! At The Disco's latest offering is a good time, almost all the time. [5 Oct 2013, p.52]

    Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die! is cold and computerized, celebrating an aesthetic that proudly values overbearing, repetitious style over creative substance and varied timbres.

    The different moods and soundscapes take awhile to digest and let sink in, but every trip back to the dim dance floor has your feet leaving the disco with fresh moves and new accolades.
