Wentz: I feel like our thoughts on “Mania” were taken a little out of context. Two records before, we were making albums in a landscape that was not particularly friendly to bands, and so we were just trying to figure out how to survive. It was like “’The Last of Us’: The Pop Radio Version, starring Fall Out Boy fighting the zombies that do not want bands existing.” I think “Mania” was a direct response to all that. There’s a frustrated sound on there. I think it’s intentionally noisy, semi-intentionally polarizing, and the sound we landed on for “Stardust” wasn’t. I don’t think it was a reaction to any of that. I just think being with Neil and wanting to create something that is tangible and that we took our time with was super important. The record spans the whole gamut of things that we’re into. Since their inception, Panic! at the Disco lost their first original member in 2006 when Brent Wilson was replaced by Jon Walker as a bassist. The band’s lineup shook up again when the original member and main songwriters of the group, Ryan Ross and Walker, announced they were departing the band in 2009 after creative differences with Smith and Urie.

Wentz: It was a catch-all for these bands that played shows together but weren’t super similar. At the time, it felt reductive, but more so in the way that we would always try to explain that there are these bands like Rites of Spring and Endpoint, and people were like, “We don’t care.” And then in “real” adult culture, with the editors of magazines and people who invited you to award shows, it was a term that was used to let you know your thing was a little unserious to them. In that way, it was frustrating. But now it’s been interesting to see, as always, those gatekeepers now are a younger generation who grew up with it and they’re like, “No, this is cool — to me you guys are legends.” With time that the term has changed. I don’t feel like we feel any way about it now. I understand that it’s a descriptor for us, so it’s fine. By 1981 the toy was renamed Obie, being manufactured by an unknown company and distributed by Department store stores such as Montgomery Ward along with a similar toy called the Green Weenie, [8] later named the Martian Cuke. [9] Later in 1985, Archie McPhee had started distributing the toy as The Popping Martian Doll, marketed as a stress toy and manufactured by a company named Aliko. [10] [11] By 1991 the name was changed to The Popping Martian Thing and redesigned so that the mouth was now a nose and the toy now resembled a clown. [12] This version would continue to be manufactured in Taiwan under that name until 2008 when it was then being distributed simultaneously by Schylling under the name Panic Pete [13] and in 2007 as Bug-Out Bob when being distributed by Toysmith. [14] In Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (TV series) Mona Wilder shapeshifts into a Panic Pete toy. In the episode "The Sting" of Futurama, Leela is handed a toy resembling a Martian Popping Thing by Hermes. In SpongeBob SquarePants, Mr. Krabs uses a blue squeeze toy resembling Panic Pete in the episode "Bossy Boots."

Wentz: For the visual side, I want it to be cohesive to the point where it was cohesive on “Mania.” It wasn’t always working, but I personally wanted it to feel like you could have a theme park around your album, you understand the 20 rides we’re going to put in here and I know what the food is going to be like. I want you to be able to walk into an album of ours. On my side, I can’t start the process until there is at least the beginnings of the visual component that goes with all the rest of it. But usually I’m starting to build it and then plays the songs and you’ll be like, “Oh, I thought it was supposed to be this color.” It’s constantly changing. In Comedy Central's sketch The Telemarketer, Colin Valenti squeezes a Panic Pete for the majority of the sketch.

Walker and Ross were replaced by touring bassist Dallon Weekes who helped contribute to Panic!’s third album Vices & Virtues and Ian Crawford. Weekes was then promoted to a full-time member of the band. Smith announced that he was taking a break from performing on the tour supporting the album due to his alcoholism and prescription drug addiction and Crawford also departed his touring duties. “It’s become evident that Spencer still needs more time to take care of himself. I can’t expect him to be fighting addiction one minute and be fully immersed in a national tour the next. With that said, the tour will continue without Spencer while he is away getting the help he needs.” By 2009 Schylling redesigned Panic Pete to have plastic balls for his protruding features, rather than having them be part of the rubber mold like previous versions.
