~Favorite Albums as of 2018~

The GazettE-NINTH

Though I'm one of the few fans that liked DOGMA, or didn't have too much of a problem with it-NINTH was definitely a step up from their previous album. I didn't actually have high hopes for this album, considering it was supposed to be like another version of DOGMA. (?) I don't know if it's still considered that, but I'm glad it had a new feel to it.

A favorite off the album is definitely Utsusemi, and Abhor God is another that I adore.

FATELESS-coldrain

Technically this album came out in October of 2017, but it's still their most recent album so I'll count it. When this album came out, it's all I listened to. From start to finish the album is a masterpiece, and coldrain members seem to be back in Florida-which indicates that they may be working on something new! 

The only thing I have to say about this album, or just one song in particular, is R.I.P sounds like Danny California by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It's still a good song, but I wish it hadn't sounded so much like it.

Some favorites off the album are ENVY, STAY, COLORBLIND, and their cover of UNINVITED.

BACCARAT-GOTCHAROCKA

Honestly, I've only listened to this mini-album once. Though it is a great mini-album, I'm still listening to SCREAMY a whole lot more. Though the song that this mini-album is named after, is still fun to listen to.

SCREAMY-GOTCHAROCKA

I know this album came out in May of last year, but I included it because GOTCHAROCKA is still actually really new to me. I didn't really start paying attention to them until early last year, and I liked them enough that I decided I was going to start buying their albums rather than find them on youtube like I usually do. 

ASH is a really fun song to listen to, and no it's not because it happens to be my name. I know Vidoll fans are a little wary most likely as this is different from what he did in that band, but Jui is doing great with his vocals.

Pray for the Wicked-Panic!at the Disco

While I've seen longtime 'fans' discredit this album, simply because the other members left and they feel Brendon should just use his name, I find this album to be innovative and great. Brendon always has had been influenced by earlier music trends, and I'm glad that he's implementing them into his own songs.

Pray for the Wicked is a fun album, though Death of a Bachelor might still be my favorite Panic! album to date.

I only listed albums I actually own physically, so I'm not including albums that I stream on Spotify or online. So no BTS albums for this list, that's for another list I suppose (ha ha ha) 

Pray for the Wicked Tour w/ Hayley Kiyoko+A R I Z O N A

It's only been a couple of days since the concert, so my memory is foggy.

So I've seen Panic! at the Disco before which made this concert even more special since I was able to sing along with all of the songs rather than last time where I still enjoyed it-I just didn't know much of the songs other than the popular song "I Write Sins Not Tragedies". 

It was also especially great since I was with my friends who came down for a couple of days to hang out.

We got to the arena just in time for Hayley Kiyoko to start her set. My mind is a bit foggy, and since I'm still new to Hayley I didn't know some of the songs that she played. Plus the only downer of her set was that her mic wasn't turned up and it was hard to hear her sing, but this was also a problem for ARIZONA and Brendon at times. I do know that she sang Feelings, What I Need, Curious and Girls Like Girls.

Also she was really feeling her set and she waved the pride flag when she was singing Girls Like Girls, which was pretty cool. 

The next set was A R I Z O N A, who I don't know very well-and like Hayley I almost couldn't understand what the singer was singing. The only thing that really stood out for me was that the drummer was great. I don't know them very well, but I will have to add them to my Spotify to listen to them a bit more.

After that Panic! was on, and they played old songs until Brendon came on stage. (While we were waiting they did the same thing like last time and had a countdown to when the band would come on stage. Note about the stage-there was the regular stage, then a triangular stage with Panic!'s famous logo was on. When he played songs with the piano or another drummer, they would rise onto the stage through the dot on the exclamation mark.

They played Toto by Africa and the entire arena was singing it.

Instead of trying to remember what Brendon did during each song, I'll just give you the set list and then recall the moments I do remember. (My memory is foggy, shoot me.)

1.  (Fuck) A Silver Lining
2. Don't Threaten Me with a Good Time
3. Ready to Go (Get Me Out of My Mind)
4. Hey Look Ma I Made It
5. LA Devotee
6. Hallelujah 
7. The Ballad of Mona Lisa
8. Nine in the Afternoon (Piano came out of the exclamation mark.)
9. Golden Days
10. Casual Affair
11. Vegas Lights
12. Dancing's Not a Crime
13. This is Gospel
14. Death of a Bachelor (like usual, he walked through the crowd.)
15. I Can't Make You Love Me (cover of a Bonnie Raitt song? He was playing on a floating platform that floated to the stage.)
16. Dying in LA
17. Girls/Girls/Boys
18. Nicotine
19. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun 
20. High Hopes
21. Miss Jackson (He brought out another drumset and played with the drummer.)
22. King of the Clouds
23. Crazy=Genius
24. Bohemian Rhapsody
25. Emperor's New Clothes
26. Say Amen (Saturday Night) (This was the start of the Encore)
27. I Write Sins Not Tragedies
28. Victorious 

I must apologize and say I don't remember much of what Brendon did, I was too into singing the songs badly that I forgot to put them into my memory bank. I do know that during one of the song he jumped off a platform in a backflip, also jumped onto the stage from the floating piano platform. (I thought he was going to die, stop being so dramatic Brendon.) 

I do know that during encore he wasn't wearing a shirt.

Also when they entered the stage, the band rose onto the platform with their respective instruments, with Brendon rising from a circle close to the triangular stage. They had three people playing Trumpet, two people playing violin and another on cello, his normal drummer Dan Pawlovich, and his regular guitarist Kenneth. The bassist Nicole Row was super cute and she looked like she was having the time of her life.

That's about all I remember, if I remember more I'll edit this post. (I say that, but yet I never do lol)

Anyway, that's all.
