A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out

Panic! at the Disco’s claim to fame, A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out had its recording process begin in June 2005, right after the group graduated from high school, so the band didn’t have much time to put together their debut. Frontman Brendon Urie said:

“Every song that we wrote… made it. We didn’t think about writing a bunch of songs and picking the best ones. We had to just make the best songs we ever wrote.”

The album was heavily influenced by the works of novelist Chuck Palahniuk.

Panic! observed that other pop punk bands, such as Fall Out Boy, were using long song titles. The band decided to follow in their footsteps, choosing titles like “The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage” and “There’s a Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven’t Thought of It Yet”.
