Panic! At the Disco - Too Weird To Live Too Rare To Die Vinyl Record

Panic! At The Disco's Vegas upbringing is palpable on Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!, their 4th album. From its upbeat and drum-driven synths, to the playful, festive lyrical content, to the Rat Pack-inspired cover art, to its title (a line from Hunter S. Thompson's Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas), the band finally owns up to their hometown's magnificence. Frontman/songwriter Brendon Urie reflects: "I'd gone to a club in Vegas and was overwhelmed by the beat and people celebrating life. I'd been cynical, but I saw its beauty. I was in love. I wrote 'Vegas Lights' as an ode." The album was largely recorded on Arturia/Moog synthesizers, which Urie and drummer Spencer Smith had been collecting. "I'd get these sounds in my head, but didn't know how to output them," says Urie. Producer Butch Walker
