Panic! At the Disco - Death of a Bachelor (Music CD)

The fifth studio album from Las Vegas' Panic! At the Disco, 2016's Death of a Bachelor showcases more of the group's emotive, theatrical, genre-bending pop. The first album recorded by the band since the departure of drummer Spencer Smith, who officially left the band in 2015, Death of a Bachelor is largely the vision of lead vocalist and founding member Brendon Urie. Produced by Urie along with Jake Sinclair (Five Seconds of Summer, Taylor Swift, P!nk), the album reveals an even more expansive rock sound with touches of hip-hop and Frank Sinatra-esque lyricism. Included on Death of a Bachelor are the singles "Hallelujah," "Victorious," and "Emperor's New Clothes." ~ Matt Collar
