Panic! At The Disco - Build God, Then We'll Talk

While the boys of Panic! At The Disco may have grown up and changed, I still cling to the home that one day they'll turn back to their past of electro-alternative and throw some more swears into their music.  Eh, I can hope, right?  A Fever You Can't Sweat Out will likely always be my favourite Panic! album regardless of what they do next, and I couldn't think of a better way to end it than with "Build God, Then We'll Talk."  It's probably nothing you've heard before, because its power lies in its quirks.  Brendan Urie here is simply marvelous and macabre, and it isn't going to be long before this song worms its way into your head.  The track examines the life of several people visiting a seedy-looking motel, among them a virgin and a businessman, and boy, the storytelling is off the hook.  We even get a little Sound of Music reference near the end.  What do we call this quirky alternative music?  Lovely.  Think of it as a more macabre-sounding Ludo, who in turn sound like a less-macabre Panic! at the Disco.  I see this going on for a while...

What a wonderful caricature of intimacy.
