I only hope it was their decision and they wanted to quit. if they didnt enjoy this anymore and that was the reason - it's fine. but... i don't know. i mean, they were in a process of making 5th record... so what the hell happened?
i'm not so into them, as i used to be, but still... i do feel heartbroken.

Their fifth record is a compilation album which consists of previously unreleased singles.

I'M NOOO-OOOT OOOOKAY!

Good band. I really love when they were at the Reading Festival with Brian May.

"Ladies and gentlemen...BRIAN ****ING MAY!"

Ooh, I'd love to see that! Brian May is among my favorite rock guitarists, and My Chemical Romance is pretty good too...

Danger days was good. Apart from Sing....god that is an awful song.

Isbjørn · 06-27-2013, 02:43 AM

It was alright, I guess. Didn't hear the entire album, but I think it lacked the energy and emotion that was good about the bands music on their previous records.

Not really a fan. I thought their first album was pretty good but after that I felt they became really mediocre.

They did "We Will Rock You" and "Welcome To The Black Parade."

Oh by the way.

I used to like MCR a lot way back in the day... maybe some 10 years ago before they became huge (great, now I sound like a hipster). Their first record was good and I enjoyed the second one as well even if it was less raw and slightly more polished.

Then The Black Parade happened. I liked it on the first listen but then I stopped. It didn't make that much of an impression on me. Yeah, musically it was alright and I liked the nods to Queen but that was it. The concept behind the album and the sound itself just felt rather try-hard and generic to me.

I wasn't expecting much from Danger Days and just casually listened to it. It seemed like crap on the first few listens but it grew on me, kind of the reverse of The Black Parade. Some songs are pretty good.

MCR used to be so good. It is to bad they went out the way that Green Day did with all the theatrics.
