All I can say is that they were great, old school tracks only, tight musicianship, a 'lil less beefier (then 'Strays' era) though reminiscent of the early Jane's. It's always a shame when an original member leaves a band, though Avery is the king of departures. With all respect to him, I hope he stays away for good this time. His commitment is an issue that Jane's shouldn't have to put up with, and he has no respect nor appreciation of Jane's legacy hence his refusal to rejoin back in '97/98 and '01. It's as if he's there til the next big offer. Navarro and Farrel have their shit down, and are tighter than ever. I personally would love to see Chaney back. Dunno how Duff will go though...

Well, I suppose I'll have to buy a few more copies of Frames to distribute as birthday presents, then. Love the live shows, too.

Such energy and charisma! There is a sense of joy in the music which is totally at odds with the lyrics, the new album more than the others. Love it.

Caught their Liverpool show, and somewhat similarly to what Gambler alludes to, was a wee bit miffed at three quarters of the show being new stuff - I know you shouldn't moan at hearing new swag but it's always particularly hard to take in new 'Size material. Anyhoo, cannot wait for the new record, hope it does indeed shit on the others from a great height. Oh, and Last Wrongs is indeed a belter!

The album is constructed as if it were daringly precise or just done by some refined musicians. At any rate it mirrors form with style; reminding me of Can, Devotchka, and even Paul Simon's Graceland, which if african derived. At any rate it is like nothing I know to date. Good work guys.

At The Disco by Evan http://stereokill.net/2009/07/division-at-the-disco/comment-page-1/#comment-1580 Evan Tue, 02 Feb 2010 21:02:45 +0000 http://stereokill.net/?p=3890#comment-1580 Ryan was the primary force behind Panic's shift towards Beetle's-esque rock. I don't think that Brendan and Spencer wanted to follow him there during the following years, so that obviously created tension. I'm a recording guy and I love old-school stylings so I'm a Pretty Odd fan. I believe that Panic will revert to their old style (hell, they added the exclamation point back to their name) and that Ryan will blossom into a retro-style songwriter with his new band. It's a shame, I wanted to hear at least one more record with the entire band together. Ryan was the primary force behind Panic’s shift towards Beetle’s-esque rock.
