Electability May Be Key to Voting | |||
| By Steven Postolka March 3, 2008 How will you choose to vote for the president this year? If you’re like me, you probably look at what the candidates believe, what they’ve done for the country, or where they stand on issues. You might also (if not subconsciously) look at how good they are at speaking or how friendly they appear. |

| Panic at the Disco has same boring, bland style | ||||
| By Luke Dreier When I put on Panic At The Disco’s new album, “Pretty. Odd.” I prepared myself for some more of the same generic, bland, and boring songwriting that bands like The Used, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, and Panic At The Disco have all been cranking out for fans lately. That’s exactly what I got for the most part. “Pretty. Odd.” is Panic At The Disco’s newest effort since they released, “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” which debuted at #39 on the Billboard 200 in February 2006. The album contains some new gimmicks, however. Much of it sounds like a Broadway musical or Vaudeville tunes. |
