I hate their website, ffs who the **** designed that shit |: anyway, yeah they're ok. I like 'The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage'
Having really long titles must attract emo kids or something.

😂 yeah, I never understood their titles o.o do they have to be so long?

Anyways, imo, they're shit. Just another poppy band that girls go nuts over.

And now some boys.............I hate how these bands get the spotlight, and all the popularity with little musical talent. Yet, much more deserving talented bands such as Dream Theater get none of that.

The long titles make their fans feel intelligent, but really the band and fans are just pretentious @#'?'s.

I think this band are so poor, just so very bad.

then again sufjan stevens has ridiculously long song titles...but his stuff is actually good

The track listing from illinoise being a case in point

1. Concerning the UFO sighting near Highland, Illinois
2. The Black Hawk War, or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience But You're Going To Have To Leave Now, or, "I have fought the Big Knives and will continue to fight them till they are off our lands!"
3. Come On! Feel the Illinoise! / Part I: The World's Columbian Exposition / Part II: Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream
4. John Wayne Gacy, Jr.
5. Jacksonville
6. A short reprise for Mary Todd, who went insane, but for very good reasons
7. Decatur, or, Round of Applause for Your Step-Mother!
8. One last "Whoo-hoo!" for the Pullman
9. Chicago
10. Casimir Pulaski Day
11. To The Workers of The Rock River Valley Region, I have an idea concerning your predicament, and it involves an inner tube, bath mats, and 21 able-bodied men
12. The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts
13. Prairie Fire That Wanders About
14. A conjunction of drones simulating the way in which Sufjan Stevens has an existential crisis in the Great Godfrey Maze
15. The Predatory Wasp of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us
16. They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From the Dead!! Ahhhh!
17. Let's hear that string part again, because I don't think they heard it all the way out in Bushnell
18. In This Temple As in The Hearts of Man For Whom He Saved The Earth
19. The Seer's Tower
20. The Tallest Man, the Broadest Shoulders / Part I: The Great Frontier / Part II: Come to Me Only With Playthings Now
21. Riffs and Variations on a single note for Jelly Roll, Earl Hines, Louis Armstrong, Baby Dodds, and the King of Swing, to name a few
22. Out of Egypt, into the Great Laugh of Mankind, and I shake the dirt from my sandals as I run

The sufjan stevens titles are not as irritating as the PATD titles, maybe because I actually like his music. Still slightly annoying though,

I find this Song Title amusing: "Lying is the Most Fun a Girl can have without taking her Clothes off"

I think it's a bit retarded. Two people on my MSN have it as their screename 🙄

Any band that steals song titles from a Natalie Portman movie lose credibility to me.

I think Morrisey and the Smiths are responsible for all of these EMO bands using massively long and pretentious song titles.

this is my new favorite band. i dont know why. but i hate their song "i write sins not tragedies" its so annoying..... but i like "but its better if you do" even though i didnt like it at first....... i think with this band it takes a while to like them. thats what happened to me anyway, i didnt really like them except for "'The only difference between martyrdom and suicide is press coverage" but after a while and when i read the other song lyrics i just really liked them. "There's A Good Reason These Tables Are Numbered Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of It Yet" is a good song too....

Sorry for the resurrection. I was made aware of the thread in one that I had started.

I gave into curiosity tonight, scoping out bands. Given, I've known of P!ATD for a while now, just never bothered listening. Suffice to say, I enjoy their music, and their look. It's like a vaudeville act, set to music. Really showy, self-conscious, eccentric, outrageous songs and just a lot of fun.

Having read a lot of the comments in this thread, I think some are being a little harsh, even pretentious, because of their fanbase. The song titles are just clever, not intended to make fans feel "smart", given they probably can't remember them all, nor have anything to do with the songs themselves. Being catchy isn't always a bad thing. Just like pop music isn't a cancer.

The fact that you spent the time subconsciously justifying why you like them tells me that you see exactly why people have said what they've said.

They're a shit band and they're doing nothing but lowering the standard.

I've always given reasons as to why I like or dislike things. It's never subconscious, with me, it's automatic, and out of respect to the artists, do more than most who just give their two cents and jet. I don't get the reasoning behind the negative opinion of them based on this thread alone. Anti-pop assholes bawlking at a band because of underlying circumstances like song titles, the fan base, and unfair labels like "emo" is garbage. If you don't like a band's music, that's perfectly fine. Leave it at that. It's just that too many people go too far out of their way to find reasons to hate bands, making fans, be it trendy or sincere, feel like they have to "stand up" for them. Personally, I take the Ricky Bobby approach. "If you don't like _______, then **** you." 😆

It's unfortunate, because I see something that a lot of people have failed to, or just ignore, because they're wildly popular, and for all the wrong reasons.

I think the band are shit, incredibly so. It has nothing to do with what they are or aren't labelled, I just think they're shit. That, plus the fact that they decided to not only cover Karma Police by Radiohead, but had the sheer audacity to change the lyrics. I'm not sure who they think they are.

They're nothing to do with emo, they're simply a pop band. No more or less, they are a pop band. A band, but a pop one. Nothing wrong with good pop music in my eyes, but they don't fall into the good section. Them, Fall Out Boy, The Academy Is, they all suck each other off in order to get success off each other. Fans of one will be fans of the other and they pimp that out. I've got no respect for that.

As for their song titles, they're not clever, they're just long. Nothing Morrissey didn't do before them.

I don't care about popularity, personally. I dislike them because they're shit. I just wonder how long you're gonna carry the elitist label upon your back now that you like Panic! at the Disco.

Panic!at the disco is hot!!!

did they writ Kama Police? coz i heard it off sum other band. some redhead or sumthin. but me likes theys betta.

No, anyways, the cover is not horrible, though I didn't even hate Limp Bizkit's cover of Behind Blue Eyes. Except for that I haven't heard anything by them, but I assume they are one of them bands you shouldn't listen to when you are in the mood to listen to good music. I might be way off. I don't feel the need to check them out really at the moment.

And they did change the lyrics, didn't they? Bastards.
