Review: Panic! At The Disco's 'Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die!' balances mix of styles, cohesiveness

Alt-rock ensemble Panic! at the Disco hasn’t released an album for two years (since 2011’s “Vices & Virtues”) but its signature sound has yet to fade. “Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!” is classic Panic! — melodic, slightly biting and bursting with energy. Front man Brendon Urie is as honest as ever with his lyrics, and the overall record (while maintaining a more pop-friendly edge) is on par with the band’s shiny, theatrics-ridden discography.

Review: ‘The 20/20 Experience — 2 of 2’ dark and sweet

Following suit (and tie — I couldn’t resist) with this year’s earlier release, Justin Timberlake’s “The 20/20 Experience — 2 of 2” is just that — a split-sided LP that’s half dark, pulsating club beats and half smooth, sweet tracks. But words don’t really do the duality justice — only a thorough listen will truly give you the full “experience.”
