10 Best Pop Punk Albums Of 2016

10. Panic! At The Disco - Death Of A Bachelor

Panic! At The Disco has come such a long way since the humble days of A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Back then, the band were known as an emo flagship, with tracks like I Write Sins Not Tragedies and Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off dominating rock radio.

Since then, a huge amount has changed. Not only did the band drop its iconic exclamation point (then do an about face and take it back) but gradually all of the band members departed, leaving front man Brendon Urie as the sole member of the group.

Death Of A Bachelor, then, is Urie's first attempt at releasing Panic! music alone, and the result is surprisingly successful. While not all of the material is interesting, tracks like Emperor's New Clothes and Crazy=Genius are among the best songs Panic! has put out in years.

Urie's voice is extremely infectious, and he sounds just as good crooning tracks like Death Of A Bachelor as he does singing more upbeat material like Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time.
