Panic! At The Disco’s style almost seems formatted after that of punk-pop supergroup Fall Out Boy. The similarities are apparent both in the familiar sound and the the creative song titles such as “Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks” and “London Beckoned Songs About Money Written By Machines.” Even the album title, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out, has “Fall Out Boy” written all over it. Of course this is no knock to Panic! as after the success Fall Out Boy has had since their From Under The Cork Tree release, it would be foolish to not follow suit. Perhaps this is by no coincidence as the band happens to be the first signed to Decaydance Records, Fueled By Ramen’s mini-label hemmed by Fall Out Boy’s own Pete Wentz.
The debut album by Panic! At The Disco is broken into two halves. The first half offers an 80’s futuristic techno sound which echoes throughout the majority of the first six songs prior to the break. The appropriately titled “Intermission” is an instrumental track of two parts, the first having a distinct techno sound and the second having a very classical piano sound. There is a voiceover separating the two parts, and in a greater sense, the two halves of the album, which states: “Ladies and gentlemen, due to circumstances beyond our control, we are unable to continue our broadcast of dance music. We shall continue now with our piano interlude.”

Other than the second half of “Intermission,” one would be hard-pressed to even fathom the thought of Panic! losing pace as this debut effort hardly ever slows down after what is established in the album’s opening power-punk anthem, “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom And Suicide Is Press Coverage.” “Nails For Breakfast, Tacks For Snacks” adds a very vivid electronica sound to the vocals, going beyond the familiar techno dance beats offered on the other tracks heard thus far. If ever there were to be semi-validated comparisons to Fall Out Boy in regards to sound, it would be on “Camisado” and “Time To Dance,” as both of these tracks have that familiar sound. The out of place “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off,” with a heavy focus on the provocative, is by far one of the band’s darker offerings and is a fitting end song for the first half of the album.
Following the intermission, the band moves away from the futuristic approach, taking on a more traditional piano-based uptempo set. Despite this change of style midway through the album, the pace remains the same, with the second half being just as exciting as the first. Opening up with “But It’s Better If You Do,” it is obvious that there is a greater focus on actual instruments being used and the shift to a more traditional sound seems to work well. Interestingly, the end of this track transitions in the drama-filled “I Write Sins Not Tragedies.” This story-driven scene is as catchy as it is meaningful and is perhaps the strongest track of the album. Continuing to prove the band’s creativity while maintaining the sense of dedication to past eras, there is a very “40’s-swing” feel on “There’s A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought Of It Yet,” making it one of the more enjoyable tracks of the album’s second half.
If Fall Out Boy is the prototype for Panic! At The Disco, as there are noticeable similarities both in style and in substance, the willingness to be so experimental in putting together the tracks may be what separates the two bands and allows Panic! to take on an entirely different persona despite the evident sense of familiarity. While A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out is a creative masterpiece, it unfortunately seems to end shortly after it begins as the 13-track album can be heard in its entirety in under forty minutes, with each track on the album lasting under four minutes in duration. Despite its few shortcoming, this is an excellent debut album from a band that comes off as both personal and vastly original.
