Jul. 28th, 2009 04:01 pmOkay, people, here's my opinion.
On principle, I like both Panic!'s and The Young Veins' new songs, but neither are as good as when they were together. Kind of like how Lennon and McCartney and Harrison and Starr were never quite the same post-Beatles.
Brendon's voice remains gorgeous and I'm liking the energy of New Perspective, but it does sound rather generic, as far as pop bands go. On the same token, I've never had a huge issue with Ryan's singing and, as I am a huge classic rock fan and love it when modern bands go retro, Change is a little too straightforward, and feels like a backhand to his former bandmates, honestly. The lyrics in both are uninspired, though I can dig on New Perspective a bit more.
Thoughts, my lovelies?
