It is very different and yeah, kudos to them for being mature about needing the split since the music they want to focus on is very different. I could like them both.
Main comms are still activities to induce frustration, but my flist has been cool about it; not meaning we are all in one accord, but no one is discussing voodoo dolls or being extreme about the split.
The split is still a sore spot for me but the new music is helping and I have to say that I loved the timing of the Oh Glory snippet because that became the topic of conversation and not Poorly Timed Picture Discussion Day 2.
My hope is that fandom eventually settles down. I know some people may leave and if they have to, then so be it; but I'd hope some of the madness dies down with some time, granted nothing extreme happens in real life to get everyone all flustered again.
I don't think everyone is ever going to feel the same about this. I saw people on Monday who were really excited and people on Friday who were still in shock, but I'm trying to stay away from all the !!!! people and posts and comms because life is just too short to be made miserable by all the wank. I'm not happy about them splitting but I'm trying to be optimistic.
Those photos really did arrive at the worst possible time. Poor Ryan. Like he wasn't already getting blamed.
I think once the dust settles good things will happen. I have faith in them.
Everyone is never going to feel the same about anything. I know some people who were very happy with the split and who left with whom from the very beginning and I know some are still very sad about it. I'm still sad and I don't think I'll ever stop looking at the four guys together as a thing to fondly remember and to kind of miss what I hoped they would become. But I'm trying to be optimistic about this as well because I'd rather to have music made that the artists enjoy making than stuff they hate to perform

I actually thought they could have done a double disc too. Two different styles, but keeping everyone happy. But again, if you just don't like playing something... Maybe they considered it and decided they couldn't do it in time. I don't know. We'll never know.
Ryan is my favourite member of Panic and even before this (and the last drug thing and the Keltie thing) people hated him and I've never really understood why. This isn't the place to go into a huge explanation but I don't think he deserves all the crap that's piled on him.
I haven't read any fic yet, (I can't bring myself too) but I am writing. Weird huh?
