Panic at the Disco (they've dropped the exclamation mark now don't you know) formed in 2005, and this debut album was released in the September of that same year. The album has gone on to sell over 1.6 million copies worldwide, making Panic at the Disco a massively popular and hugely sought over band. Since releasing this album they have parted ways with former bassist Brent Wilson and he has been replaced with Jon Walker who was formerly the bass technician for The Academy Is...

It has been stated by the bands front man Brendon Urie that Wilson was removed from the band as he did not like the direction that the band were going in, and having heard Panic at the Disco's new album 'Pretty Odd' I can fully understand and appreciate where he was coming from, but I shan't be going into that too much.

'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' is an excellent album from Panic at the Disco, a superb debut and one which I have listened to many times since purchasing. It kicks off with the energetic little number 'The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage' and never once in the albums run time do the band ever show any signs of slowing down. I would describe the music of Panic at the Disco as Fall Out Boy with keyboards, and that's pretty much all there is to it. I feel that Fall Out Boy and Panic at the Disco have a very similar sound, but I am quite a fan of Fall Out Boy so in my opinion this is not at all a bad thing. The keyboard adds a great element of excitement to the music and this is brilliant to hear as the band progress their way through this 'A Fever You Can't Sweat Out' release. Obviously if you're not a fan of Fall Out Boy then you probably won't like Panic at the Disco either, but on the flip side; if you happen to be a fan of Fall Out Boy then the chances are that you will like this band also.

In total, five tracks were released from this album; the last of which being 'Build God, Then We'll Talk', a track which was released as a download only single. I think it just goes to show how strong an album this is that five tracks were able to be released from it. Every single track stands out when listening to this album and not a single one disappoints. Before the band came up with any new material they just used to play their album in its entirety when they played gigs, something they could do with ease as every track from this album is a highlight and with each and every one the band explode into life and are hugely impressive.
