Pretty. Odd., Panic at the Disco's second album, landed in March 2008 on Fueled by Ramen, and anybody expecting another round of the electro-flecked pop-punk of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out got a hard left turn into baroque pop. The band holed up in a cabin on Mount Charleston in their home state of Nevada, hated what came out, threw the whole album away and started over that winter. Rob Mathes produced the do-over at the Studio at the Palms in Paradise, Nevada, then took it to Abbey Road in London for the strings and horns.
The Beatles and the Beach Boys are all over it: psychedelic flourishes, brass, sunny harmonies, and even the exclamation point dropped from the band name. "Nine in the Afternoon" led the way and went triple platinum. It reached number two on the Billboard 200 but sold well below its predecessor. It was Jon Walker's only album with the band and Ryan Ross's last; both left in 2009, and the record has since grown a cult following.
