too weird to live, too rare to die
Panic! at the disco
Released in 2013, Panic! At the discos fourth studio album is inspired by the glitz and grit of Las Vegas. Blending synth-pop, electronic and rock into a flashy and cinematic sound.

The album relies on its heavy bass and use of synthesizers to establish a more airy and high-energy feeling.
