“Panic! At the Disco” returned this fall with their fourth album “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” which was released Oct. 8.

Every Panic! album has had a drastically different sound, and “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” is no exception. “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” mixes the provocative lyrics from their debut album “A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out” and the grandiose, pop sound of 2011’s “Vices & Virtues” to create a new synth-heavy sound that die-hard fans can identify with, but new listeners will find themselves loving as well.

The first single “Miss Jackson (feat. Lolo)” starts with a soft piano opening, but soon turns into a loud and dark clashing of drums, synths and the sound of glass breaking. The structure of the chorus is eerily similar to that of Fall Out Boy’s “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up.)” It’s not a surprise as Butch Walker produced both songs.

“Vegas Lights,” “Casual Affair” and “Far Too Young to Die” exemplify the sound Panic! was going for on this album. “Vegas Lights” will get you dancing and singing along to oo’s and aa’s, “Casual Affair” gets you lost in a space-like atmosphere and “Far Too Young to Die” has the vocal distortions and arena-like chorus that are prominent throughout the album.

The most provocative and dance-worthy song on the album is “Girls/Girls/Boys.” Urie sings of a woman who has a girlfriend, but is still stringing the singer along as if they are dating. The electronic sounds sound similar to something MGMT would put out, but the verses sound like the monotone whispers of Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used to Know.” The lyrics “girls love girls and boys and love is not a choice” hints at Urie’s acknowledgment that even though this woman loves another woman, she can’t control her feelings.

“Girl That You Love” and “Nicotine” leave something to be desired, though.

“Girl That You Love” has a 80s David Bowie feel to it, but remains un-noted throughout the entire song. The repeats of “for the girl that you love” get irritating after the first verse. Urie’s monotone distorted vocals do not work on this song at all, making this track one you’ll want to push the ‘next’ button on.

“Nicotine” tries too hard. The overused metaphor of addiction to nicotine/ love for a woman is old, and this song doesn’t try to update it. The added cursing at the end of each verse sounds out of place, as if Urie is forcing the cuss out of his mouth.

The album ends on a high note with “The End of All Things,” a ballad for Urie’s wife. The piano and hazy vocals create an eerie and whimsical sound that tugs at the heart. Urie puts all of his love for his wife into this song with the repeated chorus of, “Lay us down, we’re in love,” followed by a heartfelt piano solo.

“Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” delivers a familiar feel to its predecessors, but presents it in a new way. The sound of “Panic! At the Disco” is ever-evolving, and this album presents the band’s sound in its best form so far. “Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!” is arguably the best album Panic! has put out thus far and most definitely worth a spin.
