Awful April: Pretty. Odd.
We're kicking off April with a new concept called Awful April. This month we examine albums we thought were awful back in the day and see if they grew on us or hold up as just bad outputs. We start out with Panic at the Disco's sophomore record Pretty. Odd. Yes, P!ATD is usually pretty odd, but was this album a stinker or we just needed some time to get to 9 in the afternooon??
