Panic at the Disco not only seem to have dropped the exclamation mark from their name, but the fun from their music also. Their début album ‘A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out’ was one of the best I have heard in a long while, an energetic and exciting album full of brilliant tracks which were packed full of a great zest for life. When album number two was announced then, and ‘Nine in the Afternoon’ was chosen as its first commercial release I was extremely excited. After hearing it however, all I could think was ‘What on earth has happened to Panic at the Disco?!’ The fun of old is all but gone, and on the evidence of ‘Nine in the Afternoon’ it would seem that Panic at the Disco have already run out of ideas as a band. I had been expecting so much and yet the band just don’t deliver. I struggle to find anything positive to say about this new single from the band, the music is very similar to what it was before but the band just sound tired and in fact rather bored. ‘Nine in the Afternoon’ is a really rather lacklustre single from the band and is not one that I would recommend to anyone.
