Sure I'm a dick for making fun of a 12 year old. I'm not. Kids can appreciate good music. I liked the Beatles when I was in 4th grade (and my little sister who's now also in the 4th grade loves the Beatles too, so eat it RyanKeyFanGirl).
What did they do? (Made a great record) ** (Actually... ******)
Pretty Odd should be entitled "1950's Slow Pop" (I think yer off a decade there sweetheart, but that's ok, gold star for effort). This is such a deviation from AFYCSO (Oh, I get it, so a band should always make the same record, I guess that's how the originality you so crave comes about - by doing the same thing over and over again). Their last album had originality to it (some, but it was nothing that hadn't been done before - they just borrowed from a vast array of influences, kind of like they did on this record), and every song was different (really? perhaps, but more different than the songs on this record where there's a Dixieland Jazz song right next to a folk-rock epic? no). They were different in a really good way. But then, this came out. And you would think the boys were born in 1920 (because you can't appreciate music unless you're older than it... wait wait wait weren't cabaret tunes a big influence on their last record, songs that sounded like turn of the 20th century, maybe you would actually think the boys were born in 1860). Sure, they're an odd kind of rock (this makes no sense, but even if they did, they have always made pop music, sure it's unique, but nothing exceptionally genre-breaking), but this is just so odd it doesn't even make modern lyrical sense (neither does this sentence - what exactly is modern lyrical sense?). I mean, who gave them weed? =/ (Yer dumb).
Maybe one day RyanKeyFanGirl will cast aside her Pull-Ups and become a big girl, perhaps around the same time I stop trying to assert my superiority by making fun of helpless, misguided tweens, but for now it seems that her path towards musical enlightenment is a long and treacherous one. Godspeed RyanKeyFanGirl, Godspeed.
Wish RyanKeyFanGirl Godspeed on her journey.
Also, buy records like Pretty. Odd. by Panic At The Disco.
