The members of Panic! at the Disco had barely graduated high school when their full-length debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out, transformed the suburban Las Vegas teens into national emo-pop stars. The band had materialized several years earlier, when friends Spencer Smith (drums) and Ryan Ross (guitar) began covering blink-182 tunes together. After tiring of playing another group's material, they recruited two additional classmates, guitar/vocalist Brendon Urie and bassist Brent Wilson, and the newly-formed quartet decided to model its name after a line in Name Taken's "Panic." They subsequently became Fueled by Ramen's first signed band, crafting pop-influenced songs with theatrical touches, quirky techno beats, and perceptive lyrics.
Produced by Butch Walker (Fall Out Boy, Weezer), Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!! sees the band paying homage to their Las Vegas roots via a glittery sonic approach inspired by their ever-increasing collection of vintage and modern synthesizers. While jam-packed with high-energy songs such as "Vegas Lights" and "Nicotine," the album also features Urie's most open and introspective songwriting to date, with highlights including the tender paean that closes the collection, "The End Of All Things." Simultaneously celebratory and cathartic, Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die! is Panic! At The Disco at their distinctive best — personal, potent, and utterly irresistible.
