You guys, I love this band. I almost can't even explain why. I'm just crazy about them. I think part of what helped me was I started listening to both of their first CDs at around the same time. Most people who heard the first CD and really liked it were probably a little turned off by the second album because it was so different. They probably thought to themselves, "Well this isn't even the same band" and gave up after that. And who could blame those people? Technically it wasn't the same band. But I knew both albums at the same time. To me, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was Panic, but Pretty. Odd. was also Panic. The albums each have their own distinct sound, and I appreciate both.
Because the three albums represent three different sounds, I'd like to share one song from each album.
From A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, you've probably heard "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies" or one of the other singles. But you may not have heard my favorite, "There's a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought of It Yet." This is one of my driving tunes. I especially enjoy singing along word-for-word. It's good fun.
From Pretty. Odd. perhaps you've heard "Nine in the Afternoon" or maybe even one of my favorites, "Northern Downpour." I'm crazy about :"Northern Downpour." But maybe you're not familiar with "When the Day Met the Night." Also on my driving playlist, I listened to this one Tuesday night while driving towards the sunset. Absolutely beautiful.
And now for Vices and Virtues, the last CD I bought. I don't buy CDs very often, because I'm a broke college student and before that I was just broke. But I was excited about this one, and I went out to buy it the week it came out. It's different from both of the previous albums, but it's great.
I'm not sure which songs from this album made it to the radio, but I'll just assume you haven't heard any and then share one I think is probably more obscure anyway. I used to think this one was beautiful. Sadly that magic has faded, but I do still love it. Here's "Trade Mistakes."
So there's a little sampler of my favorite band. Their sound has changed over the years, but my love for them has not.
