I love the radio August 10, 2006

I've been listening to the radio in the car this week, and because of that have been treated to hearing that Panic! at the Disco song three times in two days. Every time I hear it, I make a list of things that I really don't like about it. So. . . here that is.

1) It's by Panic! at the Disco, who may annoy me more for their name than anything else.
2) Much obvious borrowing from Fall Out Boy, who really don't seem like they've got much worth borrowing in the first place.
3) Even more obvious borrowing from fucking Peter Schilling of all people. Actually, that might be a positive point.
4) Horrible, 6th-wave emo song title. Although “I Write Sins Not Tragedies” does pale in comparison to “There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet.” Dig the grammar.
5) Awful lyrics.
6) Mildly sexist, although I suppose it's better than “Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off.”
7) Las Vegas gave us the Killers, then this? Thanks.
8) Generic “heavy, but not too heavy” overproduced guitar tone.

So why don't I totally hate this song? I really have no idea, but for some reason I continue to listen to it every time it comes on. . . 30 times a day.
