* FridgeBrilliance: One can notice that Brendon is wearing his wedding ring during the music video for 'Nicotine,' which was probably an accident, as the character is supposed to be bringing flowers to his lover (which could unintentionally imply YourCheatingHeart) But when his lover is revealed [[spoiler: to have been DeadAllAlong, one could interpret that she was his wife and he still wears his wedding ring]]

* VindicatedByHistory: ''Pretty. Odd.'' was received poorly both commercially and critically, seen as a [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks strange and unfavorable]] follow-up to ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' and a letdown to many who waited years for the follow-up. It's since gained a loyal cult following, and its reputation in general improved when future albums firmly established the band's sound and proved the album to be an interesting experiment in sound rather than a permanent and alienating genre shift.

Added DiffLines:

** "LA Devotee" is just ''fun''. Once you get to the chorus, it's hard not to scream along, ''especially'' if you're hearing it live.
** "High Hopes" is one of the best tracks on ''Pray for the Wicked'', especially with the blaring horns, and the slower, quieter build-up to the chorus.
** "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" quickly became one of the band's most beloved songs, and not just because of the kickass music video.


Added DiffLines:

* CreepyAwesome: If the videos for "LA Devotee," "Emperor's New Clothes," or "Say Amen (Saturday Night)" have taught us anything, it's that Brendon Urie is ''always'' awesome, no matter what creepy, unnatural thing he's doing.

* SophomoreSlump: Apart from "Northern Downpour," ''Pretty. Odd.'' was much less well-received both critically and commercially than the debut ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out,'' due in large part to the dramatic shift in sound. ''Vices & Virtues,'' while not being lauded, was better-received critically and enjoyed better album sales, though a true return to positive reception wouldn't come until ''Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!''
* SurprisinglyImprovedSequel: After ''Pretty. Odd.'' and ''Vices & Virtues'' underperformed as follow-ups to ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'', ''Too Weird To Live, Too Rare To Die!'' was extremely well done, even attracting people who were ambivalent about the first three albums.
