Which American rock band released the album "Vices & Virtues" in 2011?

The story behind the answer

The American rock band Panic! at the Disco released the album "Vices & Virtues" in 2011. It was the group's third studio album and arrived on March 22, 2011.

The record marked a major transition for the band. After the departures of guitarist Ryan Ross and bassist Jon Walker in 2009, the album was recorded primarily by vocalist and multi-instrumentalist Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith. Producers Butch Walker and John Feldmann helped shape its polished pop-rock sound.

Its lead single, "The Ballad of Mona Lisa," introduced the album's era and became one of its best-known tracks. "Vices & Virtues" debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, showing that the band retained a substantial audience during its lineup changes. A common mix-up is confusing it with the band's earlier album "Pretty. Odd." or with the similarly titled 2011 album "Vices and Virtues" by Canadian metal band Art of Dying.
