}} ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' is the debut studio album by the American rock band Panic! at the Disco. Produced by Matt Squire, the album was released on September 27, 2005, on Decaydance and Fueled by Ramen. The group formed in Las Vegas in 2004 and began posting demos online, which caught the attention of Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz. Wentz signed the group to his own imprint label, Decaydance, without having ever performed live. The album was recorded on a small budget at SOMD! Studios in College Park, Maryland over several weeks in June 2005. The group had only graduated high school one month before. With music and lyrics written by lead guitarist/backing vocalist Ryan Ross, lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist/keyboardist Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith, the record covers social issues and topics such as sanctity of marriage, adultery, mental health, alcoholism and prostitution are woven throughout the album. The album is divided into halves stylistically; the first half is primarily pop punk with elements of electronic, while the second employs more traditional instrumentation, with influences of baroque pop and swing. Upon its release, ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' became a commercial success. Its lead single, "I Write Sins Not Tragedies", was a top 10 hit in the United States. It helped bolster sales to 1.8 million in the US by 2011, making it the group's best-selling release.〔https://books.google.de/books?id=D0b70DQT1HkC&pg=RA9-PA37&lpg=RA9-PA37&dq=a+fever+can%27t+sweat+out+1.8+million&source=bl&ots=2sISlxKxjD&sig=nAiitWz_SWCIXcTZhNhLN2N_KZ4&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0CCwQ6AEwAWoVChMIjYr-r8mPyQIVwWsUCh34FwuG#v=onepage&q=a%20fever%20can't%20sweat%20out%201.8%20million&f=false〕 Despite its sales, the album polarized music critics, with many praising the album's catchiness and others questioning its originality. The band promoted the record with stints on the Nintendo Fusion Tour before their first headlining tour, the Nothing Rhymes With Circus Tour. In late 2015, its certification was upgraded to RIAA double platinum for 2 million shipments.〔http://m.billboard.com/entry/view/id/148135〕 ==Background== The band was formed in 2004 in the suburban area of Summerlin, Las Vegas, by childhood friends Ryan Ross on guitar and Spencer Smith on drums. Both teens attended Bishop Gorman High School and they began playing music together in ninth grade. They invited their friend Brent Wilson from nearby Palo Verde High School to join on bass guitar, and Wilson invited his classmate Brendon Urie to try out on guitar.〔 They soon began rehearsing in Smith's grandmother's living room.〔 Urie grew up in a Mormon family in Las Vegas and early on skipped rehearsals to go to church.〔 Ross initially was the lead vocalist for the group, but on hearing Urie singing backing vocals during an early rehearsal, they unanimously decided to move him to lead.〔 They initially worked purely as a Blink-182 cover band.〔 The monotonous nature of local Las Vegas bands influenced them to be different and creative, and they soon began recording experimental demos. Ross and Urie soon began to record on their laptops the demos they had been developing and posted three early demos ("Time to Dance", "Nails for Breakfast, Tacks for Snacks" and "Camisado") on PureVolume.〔 On a whim, they sent a link to Fall Out Boy bass guitarist Pete Wentz via a LiveJournal account. Wentz, who was in Los Angeles at the time with the rest of Fall Out Boy working on their first major-label album, ''From Under the Cork Tree'', drove to Las Vegas to meet the band.〔 On hearing "two to three" songs during band practice, Wentz was impressed and immediately wanted the band to sign to his Fueled by Ramen imprint label Decaydance Records, which made them the first on the new label, which the group did around December 2004.〔 As news broke that Wentz had signed Panic! (who had yet to perform a single live show), fans on the Internet began to criticize the group.〔 Meanwhile, Wentz began to publicize the band wherever possible, from wearing "Panic! at the Disco" T-shirts onstage to mentioning them in interviews. Wentz gave a quick mention to the band during a press junket on the day before the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards: "I've got a couple of bands coming out soon on Decaydance, one being this band called Panic! at the Disco," Wentz said. "Their record is going to be your next favorite record. It's called ''A Fever You Can't Sweat Out'' — get it before your little brother does."〔 At the time of their signing, all of the band members were still in high school, with the exception of Ross, who was forced to leave the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「A Fever You Can't Sweat Out」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
