Ryan Ross and Jon Walker continue their musical evolution in this energetic, boppy, classy release. Because of their Panic at the Disco past, "Take a Vacation!" won't be able to escape comparison with "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" and "Pretty. Odd.", but the clean, 1960s sound certainly doesn't invite such comparisons. The Young Veins bring back an old model: hot-potato frontmen, deceptively simplistic melodies, and consistency across the entire album. It would be easy to dismiss "Take a Vacation!" as a clever imitation of their inspirations, but followers of Ross and Walker will recognize the unmistakable personal touches they have come to love. Those deceptively simple melodies are offset by the same sort of deeply beautiful lyrics as "Pretty. Odd." The vocals are obviously diverse--no single singer here. But the overall effect of the album is shockingly cohesive, which makes choosing a favorite an exercise in detail-oriented listening.

"Take a Vacation!" may be the first (of hopefully many) from The Young Veins, but these musicians brought many years of combined experience to the album, and it shows. I can't wait to see where the road takes them. Until then, I'll settle for listening to "Take a Vacation!" on repeat.

What a killer rock album right when I really needed it. The Young Veins give their own spin on almost-familiar psychedelic/garage punk yummies with vintage echoes, fuzzes and un-nameables on keyboards and guitars that can hit you like "Psychotic Reaction" did on first listen.

I bought this along with Neil Young's amazing Trans. With this, the Veins and my monthly Classic Rock CD compilation on the multiplayer, I had a Colorado medicine kind of evening.

It's interesting that "Take a Vacation" and "Release Me" from The Like came out at about the same time. The Young Veins have really captured the spirit of the era and made decade perfect songs on the record. Instantly recognizable, yet fresh enough to keep you engaged.

As much as I love this album I wonder where The Young Veins can go from here? Another 60's invasion hommage would be redundant, and moving on to the psychedelic era would be predictable. Big Band swing music?
