I can't open the link :-(
Has anyone ripped this somewhere yet? Want to hear!!!

And yes, fandom needs to stop being childish. Split was sad, let's move on and be excited that we're getting twice the amount of music now.

This is the link Ryan posted. http://tiny12.tv/IUI2W I don't know if that'll work. I haven't seen it ripped anywhere. It's embedded in this post now if clicking on it works for you.

I really don't get the sheer volume of hate and wank over this. They're doing what they need to do to be happy. They don't live their lives for us.

It doesn't work. I think it might be country locked or something stupid like that. Blergh. I'll just have to wait until someone manages to rip it, I guess. :-( Thanks for trying though. <3

Yes. People are being babies. I get sad (hell, I am still sad), but sad and thinking it's reasonable that people you don't know should live their lives according to your whims and wishes is pretty ridiculous in my head.

Booo. If I knew how I would. <3 What country are you in?

It's so short, but I'm just happy they've got something.

I'm still sad too but yes, I think it's stupid to imagine they should all continue doing things that would make them each a little miserable just so it's easier for us.

I can't make the link work either. (I'm in Finland, 12seconds.tv obviously has something against the northern Europe.)

I have to admit that I was secretly wishing the next Panic album would sound a little bit more like Fever... and then I felt guilty about it because the band obviously needs to make the music they want. And now we get it both ways and I'm happy. :x I get it that the fandom is upset, but really, it's not like they all now hate each other. Though Panic isn't my ~*favourite*~ band ever so... If MCR did this I would probably be crying in a corner somewhere now, lol.

Grrr. That's frustrating. Stupid thing.

I prefer PO to Fever, but I can't complain about getting both now. :D

I don't think they hate each other. I think, like they said, they've just gone in different directions and I don't think it'd be fair to force something if it's just not working. And while I have been crying in a corner occasionally, I don't think this deserves all the wank that's been appearing. I think some people are never happy unless they're miserable. ;)

I'm feeling like I could just type THIS all over.

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?
