"Vices and Virtues" is Panic! At The Disco's third album and post ex-members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker (who departed from the band in July 2009. And created their own--called The Young Veins). Panic's first single, "Ballad Of Mona Lisa" is similar to the songs from their debut album "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out." But better.
Brendan Urie and Spencer Smith have even added the exclamation point back into their name. Making a statement. No, wait! Making their statement. THEY'RE BACK! "Vices and Virtues" will be released on March 22, 2011. It features ten songs.
"Ballad Of Mona Lisa" is incredible and catchy. Even with its simple but meaningful lyrics, Shane Drake (longtime director with Panic!) brought it to life in their music video. It has steampunk written all over it. And you know how much I love steampunk! Murder, mystery, old victoriana fonts and costumes, top hats and goggles. It's all in there. Brendan and Spencer perfected Shane's vision as if they had created steampunk all themselves.
Ok, sit back, relax, kick off those witchy black boots, fix the gears on your goggles and watch this video. You'll be pleased that you did.
