Viva Las Vengeance
The band’s seventh studio album and first new music since 2018, *Viva Las Vengeance* was recorded live entirely to a tape machine and reveals a new layer of honesty from lead vocalist and songwriter Brendon Urie. He takes listeners on a cinematic yet introspective journey through his career in music and his relationships, reflecting on fame, fortune, love, and the stories that come along with them. The album opens with the title track, nodding both to his Vegas roots and his band’s reputation for theatrics. “Don’t Let the Light Go Out” is an aching breakup ballad that showcases Urie’s voice, while “Local God” and “Say It Louder” get a bit meta, telling tales of a band’s rise to fame and success. “Do It to Death” finishes the album with a bang, closing the curtains as Urie softly sings, “Shut up and go to bed.”
Shiny arena pop is out and classic rock is in for the quintessential band of the Myspace era. The result is weird, nostalgic and refreshing
