    Brendon has a lot of haters for no reason so take the 0s with a HUGE grain of salt.

    This album ROCKS. Brendon's new sound suits him and these songs are extremely musical and creative. I love this album and it gets better with each repeated listen. I love the queen vibe and the power rock style. Brendon excels strongly in this niche and has put out a bunch of AWESOME tracks here.

    Track of the album is "Say it Louder", amazing rocky tune with an infectious groove and a ton of power. Shout out to Sad Clown, Middle of a Breakup, Viva Las Vengeance, God Killed Rock and Roll, and Local God!

    This is an album I'm going to continue listening to and loving for a long time    … Expand

    I love how Panic! always changes so much, and yet one thing you can always rely on is that you'll get a high energy album, which is always exactly what I need. xD

    This is one of the best albums of the band, with inspiration from bands such as Queen, it has done something different and amazing, the brendon's voice it's unique.

    The best album from Panic! At The Disco in a very long Time.

    The las albums were good, but Viva Las Vengeance it's fresh and different.

    The album itself is good but not all songs are good, unlike Pray for the Wicked and Death of a Bachelor where all songs were bangers. I think he made a mistake when going back to Vices & Virtues with this.

    I really did not feel the first singles released from this album at first, although they all grew on me, i think rest of the album is far better.

    Brendon entregou musicalidade aqui! Todas as faixas poderiam tranquilamente fazer parte de um musical, acho até que a proposta é essa mesmo. Vocais cristalinos, arranjos diferentes e que até podem
    Ser estranhos num primeiro momento mas depois tudo faz sentido. Depois de anos sem nada novo esse foi um grande presente para os fans

Brendon is and always has been the voice of Panic! at the Disco, and he always makes sure that every album sounds different than the last. This is definitely his most unique album and I’m all here for it. Not only does he call back to the bands of the 70s and 80s that inspired him, but he does it with a musical theatre flare unlike anything we’ve ever heard before. The instrumentals are some of the most creative and beautiful that we’ve heard from him, and really add to the depth of the album. Overall, this album is a breath of fresh air coming from the mainstream pop sound of Pray for the Wicked, and will surely go down as one of Panic!’s most diverse, creative, and all-around enjoyable albums.… Expand

    A masterpiece.
    This album is a look to the past with a lot of feelings, a little bit of drama and a lot of rock’n roll.
    Had such a great time listening to it (and now it’s on repeat).

    This album its full of fun e beautiful nostalgia. Even though this is kind of a solo album brendon manage to put so much importance on the instruments. He has a CRAZY range, but on this album is everything so well done that his voice is just a plus. I loved the classic rock vibe and it’s a cool new era for panic!

    I'm listening to this album on repeat all day long. It has everything I love in it: amazing vocals, beautiful instrumental, a lot of theatrics and lyrics that i truly love. From Viva las vengeance to Do it to death, there's not one single track that i didn't enjoy or love. Brendon Urie, Mike Viola and Jake Sinclair did an amazing job. Chapeu

    This album is musically amazing, you can hear brendon had a lot of fun with this one. Lyrically it's good but his vocals blow it all out of the park. Especially during sad clown. It's one of his better albums.

    It is as much a masterpiece as any other album by the band. It feels like a trip through a musical about the artistic life of Brendon and Panic! We waited 4 years for a new album and got gold for the long wait.

    On the first time, I personally didn’t really enjoyed the album, but after giving it more tries, It sounds so cool, “Sad Clown” is the greatest example of this and right now is my favorite song from it. It is so different compared to the recent albums, but I like the idea of doing an album with some heavy influences on the 70s and 80s most successful rock bands.

    this is the band's best work yet, aiming at complexity and ambitious takes on theatrical 70s rock and remembering Brendon's teenage years. Being a simple emo pop rock band with average generic music in the past had me with low expectations, but I loved it. I reckon haters are driven by nostalgia from their rock&emo phase ngl

    I really love this album. It has an interesting vintage 70's rock/Broadway vibe that can be rarely found nowadays. The lead vocals are tremendous and the structure of the back vocals really reminds you of Queen's music from the 70's, which I love!

    It absolutely borrows plenty from all of Brendon’s influences – but that’s not a bad thing. Viva Las Vengeance is both consistently catchy and classic-sounding, and another fine addition to Panic!’s remarkably varied discography.

    The album is like a wild ride in a muscle car where someone’s constantly fiddling with the radio, forever chasing the high that comes with hearing the perfect riff at the perfect moment. ... Viva Las Vengeance sounds great, its piston-like licks and soaring solos acting like time machines to a rose-colored-glasses-refracted era.

    For those of us who love both power pop and musical theater, though, and haven’t been as much enamored of their previous emo, this is Panic!’s best album. The paradox is that this may be one-man-band Urie’s hardest-rocking collection, as well as his most stagy.
