The band formed and recorded their first demos while they were all still in high school. Shortly after graduation, the band recorded and released their debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). Bolstered by the lead single "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies", the album eventually was certified double platinum and met with much success. The group then wrote and recorded their second record, Pretty. Odd., released in 2008. Marked as a drastic change in tone from their debut, it undersold commercial expectations but met with critical success.
The band released their third album, entitled Vices & Virtues, on March 22, 2011, while the record's first single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa", was released February 1, 2011

A Fever You Can't Sweat Out is the debut studio album by American alternative rock band Panic! at the Disco. Recorded primarily at SOMD! Studios in College Park, Maryland with producer Matt Squire, the album was released September 27, 2005 on Decaydance and Fueled by Ramen Records.
Written and produced during and shortly after the band's graduation from high school, the album was recorded during a short time frame which left the young band exhausted. With lyrics written by guitarist Ryan Ross, the record covers social issues that the band points on through various songs, and topics such as sanctity of marriage, adultery, alcoholism, prostitution and religions are woven throughout the album.
Bolstered to fame and success by lead single "I Write Sins, Not Tragedies", the peaked U.S. Billboard 200 at number 13, spending sixty-six weeks on the chart. The album received polarizing critical reviews, with many professional music critics appreciating the fun and catchy atmosphere, while other reviewers differed in their opinions toward the originality and sincerity of the record. The album has been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America, and is by far Panic! at the Disco's most successful album.

Pretty. Odd. is the second studio album by American alternative rock band Panic! at the Disco. Recorded at the Studio at the Palms in Las Vegas with additional production at Abbey Road Studios in London with producer Rob Mathes, the album was released March 21, 2008 on Decaydance and Fueled by Ramen Records. The record entered the U.S. Billboard 200 at number two, peaking at number two on the UK Albums Chart as well. The album spent eighteen weeks on the Billboard 200 and "Nine in the Afternoon", the LP's first single, went gold and became the most popular single from the album.
For the record, Panic! at the Disco retreated to a cabin in the rural mountains of Mount Charleston, in their native state of Nevada. Upon growing dissatisfied with their final product, the band scrapped the entire album and spent time writing and recording Pretty. Odd. throughout the following winter. The album is noticeably different from the group's debut A Fever You Can't Sweat Out (2005). During this time, the band would drop the exclamation point from their name, as well as other defining elements from their stage show and performances.
Inspired by baroque pop and the works of The Beatles and The Beach Boys, the psychedelic-styled rock album brought the band critical acclaim but underwhelming sales in the aftermath of their platinum-selling predecessor. The album would be Panic!'s final recording with former members Ryan Ross and Jon Walker, before ...Live In Chicago.

Vices & Virtues is the third studio album by American rock band Panic! at the Disco, released on March 22, 2011 on Fueled by Ramen. Produced by John Feldmann and Butch Walker, the album marks the debut of the band's two-man lineup, featuring vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith, following the departure of primary lyricist and guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker in July 2009.
The record originated from the departure of primary lyricist and guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker in July 2009. While Walker and Ross' exit left a hole in the Panic! songwriting regime, the experience became the catalyst for Urie finding his own voice and the confidence to take over as the band's principal songsmith. The lyrics, billed as a "study in human behavior", touch on themes of manipulation and confusion. Vices & Virtues took over two years to create, and the increased time in the studio brought forth new musical experimentation.
Upon release, the album received generally positive reviews. Critics praised the album's wide variety of musical stylings, while citing compositional simplicity and Urie's verbose lyricism as detractors. Preceded by lead single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa", the album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, selling 56,000 copies within its first week."Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind)" is the second single.The music video was planned for release April 25, 2011. On April 26, 2011 a still of the video was released. The video has since been given a new release date of May 2, 2011, at noon EST on Panic at the Disco's official Facebook page. ... (more)
