June 30, 20187 yr There isn’t a single song on this album I don’t like... which is a first for me :o Something about the theatrical cynicism of Brendan’s voice has got me hooked. I’ve been playing their previous album right after this one too - they have a lot of similarities but are very different at the same time. I do prefer DOAB’s Impossible Year to PFTW’s Dying in LA as their closing tracks (so far, anyway, although Dying In LA has been stuck in my head all day :lol:) Edited June 30, 20187 yr by Dexton
July 1, 20187 yr High Hopes enters the ARIA Top 50 at #44, becoming their 6th Top 50 hit in Australia and first since The Ballad Of Mona Lisa in 2011 :cheer: This is also their 2nd #1 album here :wub: Edited July 1, 20187 yr by Dexton
July 1, 20187 yr Idk why and how I slept on Say Amen for so long, great song :wub: I'll have to check the whole album out.
July 3, 20187 yr The album gets better each listen, hopefully "High Hopes" can be their smash on streaming era to drive this album even more than DOAB. :dance: I don't know how to rank the albums, it's really hard, all i know is that Pretty. Odd is at the bottom for me. :heehee:
July 8, 20186 yr Brilliant album now I've got round to it!! :wub: It all does a fab job of being something a bit different and quite streaming friendly but still very Panic. The singles, Roaring 20s, Dancing's Not A Crime and Hey Look Ma I Made It are the best for me.

July 15, 20186 yr High Hopes is looking set to go top 40 this week, it would be Panic!'s first since Nine in the Afternoon in 2008! They've been robbed so many times, most outrageously being The Ballad of Mona Lisa peaking at number 43 :(

July 15, 20186 yr High Hopes is looking set to go top 40 this week, it would be Panic!'s first since Nine in the Afternoon in 2008! YAS :cheer: It's amazing how Brendon elevated his popularity after Vices & Virtues, without anyone. He can go even more far if he promotes his works overseas, like some performances in UK. At least he will tour. Edited July 15, 20186 yr by SameBoy
August 12, 20186 yr High Hopes up 10 places to #14 in Australia this week :wub: Could potentially go Top 10 soon too seeing as it’s #12 on Spotify
August 13, 20186 yr Author It's great how well Panic have done this era, hopefully he can keep it up for their next album.

August 22, 20186 yr Author Fantastic performance! Now he just needs to release the video. :P They should try and get them to perform at the Brits next year, they usually like the token alternative performance! Would he be nominated for best international male solo or group?
August 26, 20186 yr Performance at Reading yesterday bnZqZxRcM7Y he was so happy, amazing show, i need so much to see him :cry:
