--------------------------------------------
Hey guys and welcome to our first ever Album Review, today we review Pretty. Odd. By Panic At The Disco!

Their first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out was a huge success here and in the states with very 'emo' music but this album is alot different!

If you have already heard their latest single, Nine In The Afternoon....I'm sure you will agree...yes, Panic At The Disco have turned kind of Poppy!

But it's not a bad thing, in songs such as 'Mad As Rabbits' I would so prefer that sung in Poppy vocals rather than Emo.

Nine In The Afternoon, their first single from the album is a very fun song which will have you singing along to! A Must buy for this album, probably the best song on it but there are other good songs such as 'Mad As Rabbits', 'When The Day Met The Night' and 'The Green Gentlemen'

It's a grower of an album but it's an album I have enjoyed so I do recommend it so I give it a:

8.2/10
