Death of a Bachelor, the just released fifth album by Panic! At the Disco is finally here and it’s beautiful. The band announced the upcoming album by releasing the single “Hallelujah”. With lyrics such as “ All you sinners stand up and sing hallelujah” and “I love the things you hate about yourself” the song is about embracing one’s faults and mistakes.

The band released their fourth studio album “Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!” in 2013.One of the tracks that stands out the most off of “Death of a Bachelor” is “ Emperor’s New Clothes”. With lyrics like “Heroes always get remembered but you know legends never die” and “Welcome to the end of eras” the song perfectly captures the thrill and the dark edge that Panic! At the Disco is famous for. The song really shows off Urie’s vocal capability through drawn out notes. However the music video is what has fans talking the most. The music video starts out with the end of the music video for “This Is Gospel” and then you see Urie get dropped down into hell. Throughout the video Urie shifts from a human into a demon.

The album is definitely not a disappointment, in fact it’s one of their best albums yet.Fans are definitely looking forward to what Panic! At The Disco has in store for the future.
