Panic! At the Disco recently spoke about their decision to scrap the second attempt at a follow up to their successful debut, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out.

Guitarist Ryan Ross gave the status update:

We're taking a lot longer than we thought we would. It's almost as if we were writing two records. We did almost an entire album and then started over, so at the moment we're trying to catch up, but we're all really happy with the songs right now and we'll be done by February

There was definitely a vibe when we came off tour playing the same songs (from the first album) for like two years, that, when we started writing, we started doing way different stuff. Then halfway through we realised it didn't feel like us.

The band had made their attempt at a isolated cabin studio in Nevada but have returned to their hometown of Las Vegas to work on the record.
