My Chemical Romance Write Their 'Greatest Song' Yet

My Chemical Romance singer Gerard Way is feeling positive about his band's fourth album - in fact he's gone as far as to describe one track as the "greatest song" they've ever written.

"The songs are all wildly different, but the one I'm really excited about is called 'Death Before Disco'," Way told Rolling Stone. "It's a completely different sound for the band – it's like an anti-party song that you can party to."

"I can't wait for people to hear it. It brings back, lyrically, some of that wonderful fiction from the first album. I think we wrote our 'Born To Run', and I'm so amped about that. To me, it's the greatest song we've ever written – it's my favourite MCR song."

My Chemical Romance have been working on their fourth album since the start of the year, with the hope of releasing it before 2010 rolls in.

Thanks for the report to Angryape.com.

Sweet! Can't wait for the new album.

[the_messenger66]

before 2010? ooo, i'm exited.
Yay for Bullets return.

[padgea7x]

should be cool

[vmanoman]

im pretty stoked to hear their new sound. i hope they go more in the direction of "stay".

[jonahrocks1]

Hopefully it'll be awesome.

[transplants182]

I shall hold off on my opinion until I hear the song

[darkl64]

Why do I doubt it.
I can't see them ever doing an album I like more than The Black Parade. I loved that album and then bought the previous one. So dissapointed.

[poopsmith]

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES I CANNOT FREAKING WAIT!!!!!

[Ghast]

Depends on your tastes dark, I hated the black parade (Not just because of the culture it spawned) just the fact that it went away from their almost punk roots. Hopefully they'll return to bullets style

[NemX162]

I hope they making music with the wonderful chaos that was on Three Cheers again. The Black Parade was too tame and refined.

[iron_maiden93]

I think the real news is 'My Chemical Romance Write A Song' bleah, not much on their stuff, but they're still kicking aren't they? Someones gotta like them...

[aaciseric]

I shall look forward to this. I'm not that much of an MCR fan but they definately write some interesting and unique music, so it's worth a listen.

[1sheldon]

used to be hardcore into them, hopefully this will bring me back into them

[JordanDH]

An anti-party song you can party to? Does that sound really dumb to anyone else?

[Avengethedeath]

I really enjoy their Bullets stuff. Even live bootlegs on Youtube of those days are awesome. Back in the days where Gerard was addicted to prescription drugs and makeup wasn't a given. Those songs just seem a lot more mature anyways. Too bad they can never really go back to those days... and I wasn't a huge fan of The Black Parade anyhow like someone else said they seemed like they were... eh... holding back.

No not at all really. There are plenty of anti-party songs you can party too.

[LazyLatinoRocke]

I stopped listening to MCR 2 years ago but I might check out this new album just to see how it goes.

[Armagedn]

Cool, I like them. 3 Cheers was a great album, I thought. Thanks for the Venom is a great song, and it actually has good guitar work, including a good solo, and it's not the only one on the album.

Actually, I expected to be defending them, but there's a surprising lack of hating going on...

[kyle!]

that's not conceited....

[stueey]

Awesome I can't wait to hear it.
I can see this article become 37% Spam free tho :P
This band are wicked!

Yeah, I thought there would be a lot more when I saw this. Anyway, I think it is cool that they say that they will try new sounds, because honestly, I don't really like these guys at all. I used to hated them, but I heard "I'm not ok, I promise" and my opinion changed. Now I think there an ok band, even if the fans that I know are dumb posers (not that all their fans are dumb posers).

[Friendly Stoat]

Thank god that everyone is bored of hating MCR and making a big point of it on here.

So far.

I really hope this is more like the first 2 albums, they are 2 of my all time favourites. The Black Parade was terrible. And I can't help feeling it'll be more like that. Oh well.

[Autumnfallsbest]

Hmmmm, Sounds promising, but my lips are sealed till the new song's out.

[Echoplex]

"Best song yet." That's what they all say...

[Cous Cous =>]

They've just gone donwhill every album,
I have low expectations. =/

[LukeElliff]

So, the audio recording of the band hanging themselves will be out soon. Its about time, hopefully people in the recording studio will bottle them like REAL music fans would.

[\m/[-_-]\m/]

sweet. cant wait.

How about death to MCR instead, you are more valuable to the music industry than them douches

Death before disco was like the most common myspace name for every emo kid aged 12 tot 16. It's also an Emo band (as it came to my understanding) and it aslo holds the word disco which I think with band like panic! at the diso the emo genre is trying to bring back.
all in all + ∞ (infinity) on above comments.

[nightraven]

checked

[mashizz]

eh, give it a shot

[mirrored_window]

Bullets was an excellent album and the reason I got into MCR's music. Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good in my opinion.
I couldn't stand the Black Parade because it was attracting hormonal emo kids and giving MCR a bad name.

As someone said they seem to be going downhill. :\

I'm looking forward to the new album, but I doubt it will be the standard Bullets was.

[thricenturion]

game over for this band, they were straight up pop culture.

[Slay 'Em]

I doubt they will write a DECENT song...

[The_Paranoia]

I was deeply into them a few years ago but grew out of it. Than one day I found that Life On The Murder Scene dvd thing in a box and watched the behind the scenes. They really are cool guys. I think Gerard even said at pne point he hates the emo fan base they made.

I dunno, I like TBP. Teenagers was awesome until it was made a single. Their first 2 albums were great. And their cover of that song (name is slipping...) for that movie wasa good. I have hopes. I'll give em a listen

[Aléx]

I feel like I'm one of the only people to have liked each new MCR record more than the previous. I've got high hopes for this one.

[puppetmaster93]

Haha they've been in decline since Black Parade and the ensuing tours.
It'll be interesting to see what they come back with. Doubt this band will go back to it's "roots", but I may give it a listen.

[kamjam7]

I like all 3 albums, but yes, Bullets had something to it that made it better. I'm kind of scared of the new one after hearing stay, but maybe it will be a better song, and better album once it's recorded.

either way, go mcr

Desolation, originally by Bob Dylan... I didn't really like the cover myself though, although that solo kicked ass.

About the album, I thought it was going going to take longer to come out, and I'm disappointed that it isn't, because I like it when bands release albums sparingly, they're usually better, ESPECIALLY MCR, as their music is decent but is overplayed too ****ing much, and the fanboys are going to get pretty damn annoying every time MCR release an album >.

[WoeChicks]

I actually really liked all of their albums, even the black parade. High hopes for this one.

Black Parade was my favorite album of 2007, i thought it was great. 3 cheers was amazing as well, as was bullets. i dont get the hate going on around this band, they write unique music, if you dont like it you dont like it, there's no reason to bash the band.

[The Spoon]

I cant wait to hear this then

[silent caution]

im not a fan, but im not gonna bash them in a article about them...i admit they have a couple talented guys, ill hear the new stuff as soon as the tv and radio play it 100 times a day

[fear-the-reaper]

man i can't wait now!

[crazy8rgood]

The only album I like by them is The Black Parade. The other ones aren't to good, and if they are going back to that sound, chances are I won't like it. But I'll wait to hear some of it before I make that judgment.

[noz3]

Hmm hope this one actually is good.
1st Album was ok.
2nd Is soo epic I love it.
3rd mmmm... not so ok..
4th I have no idea what to expect.

Just my opinion.. I really hope the best
for the album.

Wow no serious flames, I'm in shock...

i am very excited... im not sure that they should be rushing for the release date though as some bands release albums far too quick and make the work they produce deteriorate in quality...i hope this this case however i am proven wrong...i will definately be giving this a listen.

[archangels]

I hope it stays in the vein of Dead! or House of Wolves, to be honest.

[BlueFirus]

Can some one explain "we wrote our born to run, so i'm amped about that" is he talking about Springsteen, or is this some MCR thing under the same name.

How the hell can you Just write a Born to Run, it's a ****ing classic, you can touch it. Is he refering to pressures of releasing an album that tops the last succesful album? It's pretty ****ed to refer to that situation as saying you wrote a Born to run.

Does anyone know what that means, I'll wait while I'm working on writing my Sgt Peppers.

HELL NO

[FearOfTheDuck]

What i didn't get is why they used they used to be emo, then i saw the video for desolation row, and they're trying to sound and look like hardcore punk. If they had the 'hardcore' and image in the first place maybe they wouldn't so hated. Meh never listenerd to the band, never will

I didn't think it was that complicated...Born to Run pretty much defined Springsteen. It's the song that will be forever tied to his name more than any other. I think what he's saying is that he thinks that this will be as defining for My Chem. Not in a sense that "we're as good as Springsteen," but that "this will define us the way that defined him." If that makes any sense

[ChadHasADD]

it's going to be just another song.

What they did in this song of theirs is probably just a new technique of lyrics thats already been done millions of times.

[godberry]

i think the most interesting part about this article is the comments. i'm literally in shock at the lack of MCR hate comments.

...as for the new album...i can't wait.

[Metalligirl]

i hope this goes back to three cheers, used to like them back then, haha. When black parade came out i was really disappointed :/ I was like "yet another band that gets eaten by the media monster", i hope the new album sounds good, but i hold my opinion until i hear it.

[punkrocker22]

it's like an anti-party song that you can party to

They didnt start off as emo....
if you listen to Bullets and 3 cheers they have a huge punk influence. Only when black parade came out did they get labeled as emo ( not that i hate the album it just wasnt quite as good as the first two )

[lyonk55]

Its quite refreshing to see MCR fans posting rather than people just saying their stuff sucks. I've got no strong feelings for them to be honest, its just good that people are mostly avoiding posting just to insult with out really contributing.

I'll probably give this a listen anyway.

[guitardudezach1]

i hope its more like their first 2 albums and not so much like the black parade.

Fuck man, I couldn't agree more. The hate is quite annoying. I'm not a fan of this band (except for Teenagers, love that track. I havent really listened much of their stuff either though so I cant say I dont like them either) but theres no need for all the BS hatred they get.

[x_hud]

Ah. Christ. I can't wait.

But I have seen this on every news article about MCR too much.

DON'T JUDGE A BAND BY HOW THEY LOOK.
I don't judge slipknot, even though they wear some pretty messed up stuff, so don't judge My Chemical Romance.

[xXMCR13Xx]

woo! finally! a new album! it's been forever!

[calebcc]

So, if this ends up sounding like Bullets, I will love MCR again.

[GangsterLi]

i hope they continue a similar sound to their dylan cover, "desolation row". but, ive noticed not many people seem to like the black parade? i thought that was a masterpiece of an album, probably my favourite out of the three.

peace!

[Whip It]

Bullets is a pretty good album, Three Cheers would be in my top five albums of all time (also the first album I ever bought four or five years ago), but The Black Parade was one of the worst albums I've ever heard. Hopefully this sounds more like their old stuff.

[XxStrifeXx]

this band is just a watered down copy cat version of AFI lol thats why they wait until afi release their album first every time.

[jetfuel495]

Three cheers for Bullets! Come on, guys!

No not at all really. There are plenty of anti-party songs you can party too.

If you're anti-party, then why intentionally write a song to party to? The main problem with what's being said is that it's the person who wrote the song who's saying it. And why would anyone be anti-party?

[braineater.]

I am completely unashamed of my love for MCR. I'm very glad they're going in a different direction than The Black Parade and back toward Bullets/Three Cheers type stuff.

This should be their best album yet, as far as I can tell. So excited!

Ok I lol'd.

My fave Mcr album jumps between all three.
I think my fave song by them has to be Head First For Halos. I they release another song that has as much energy as that has that live again, I'd have a heart attack.

No serious, I have a heart condition...

[GenerationKILL]

i feel as though the only thing that'll differentiate this new album with their last is the fact its probably NOT a concept album...

And for the record, Jonathan Davis always says the material on their newest albums is "the greatest yet," and everyone is just disappointed, again. Hyping your own album is just another form of publicity, so be forewarned.

[FUT55]

i hope this one isnt like their last album.. that thing sucked. I really hope they return to their old sound. Like the "Three Cheers for sweet revenge" sound. That album was amazing!

[nightraven]

checked.

[[max105]]

this album is gonna be great!!!!!their last album really amazed me and some songs of TC4SR...i really hope that they come visit here sometimes...

[G2BY]

FUCK#NG AWESOME !!!!!I CANT WAIT FOR IT

[Still Here]

The Black Parade is one of my favorite albums, and the first two albums were pretty good also. Hope they stay awsome.

[JordanDH]

Does Gerard Way's face really annoy anyone else in their music videos?

[loganpwns]

it sounds like the first album?
YESSSSS

That was their only good album all the way through

[lao123]

Yay!!! The first album (atm) is my favourite. I love the agressiveness of it, compared to TBP. I really hope this album doesn't disappoint.

[korman7]

Why do I doubt it.
I can't see them ever doing an album I like more than The Black Parade. I loved that album and then bought the previous one. So dissapointed.

are you kidding me? you liked the Black Parade but not Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. im actualy getting mad, becuase 3 cheers was way better than black parade, how the herll could you not like it

[666bunny69xxx91]

the Icelandic pop band Jeff who has a CD called death before Disco already!

[BlackApparatus]

bullets and three cheers were great in my opinion. i loved the lyrics on both of them, the guitar, the vocals, the music! when the black parade went out the band totally let me down. just another good band manipulated to make "emo" music ("emo" as in stupid posers that think they're emo just because of their hair and because they listen to mcr's the black parade). they've started to get mi hopes a little high when gerard said it would be more a rock album. i'm hoping they are NOT going downhill

[Majin Gaara]

Only good song they ever had was Helena

[aig91]

Checked

[jrcsgtpeppers]

Why is this on the front page? They are actually planning on writing a good song? I'll hear it when it happens. I doubt it will be anywhere near to great though.

[Jadee Jinxxx]

Their old stuff like 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge' is always going to be the best,
but I will wait and see if I am wrong.
Can't wait.

[ljubavjelijepa]

That's quite a big claim. "Greatest song". What if no one likes it? Then what Gerard Way? Then what?

Maawh... I've been with MCR for years now and I still love their material but I'm really iffy about the new stuff.

I'd love to have some of the old energy back, and it'd be great to hear Gerard doing back to the vocal style he used back on Bullets and Revenge. Less polished, more energetic.

Black Parade didn't feel like a My Chem album, so I hope this one's a step in the right directon.

Don't let me down guys !!

Yeah you got it wrong. They started out as a punk influenced Hard Rock band. Some of their main influences are Iron Maiden , Anthrax, The Misfits, and Samhain.

[The Sallad]

Like a lot of people I'm also hoping for a return to the glory days of bullets. But with sobriety and a shit-ton of mainstream pop culture exposure...my hopes aren't high. Not very high at all.

I'm sure they stated last year that thye were going on a 3 year break while they tended to their families.

[Bohemian815]

I enjoy all of My Chemical Romance's albums. Bullets and Revenge are amazing albums but that being said they still do not hold a candle to The Black Parade. I laugh when people say they sold out when they released The Black Parade. I'm sorry but I don't remember Classic Rock being so popular in today's music. I also find it funny that some fans consider MCR going emo with the release of Parade. In my view it is the complete opposite, they were trying to break the emo image that was wrongfully placed on them during the Revenge Era. I have high hopes for this album and I know I have nothing to worry about. I believe they will be going simpler with their 4th album but in way are they going to be rehashing old material. Why should they take two steps back?

[Surfer Rosa]

The first album was my favourite by far so if they're returning to the ''wonderful fiction'' of that (which I agree with) it can only mean good things.

Love MCR - not afraid to say it.

[Joe4/4/1992]

"an anti-party song that you can party to"? how much would people shit themselves if that turned out to mean that they wrote a dance rock song like Mindless Self Indulgnece? Gerard and Lyn-Z are married...it could happen haha
ahh anyway back on topic, looking forward to hearing the new album, The Black Parade was cool i thought although my favourite songs by MCR are all off of 'Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge', if they did another album in that style but also mixed in some of the 'grander' elements of the Black Parade then i'd be very interested

They are a very stereotypical band who write for their crowd not themselves.

No not at all really. There are plenty of anti-party songs you can party too.

It's still a contradiction in terms. As soon as you party to it, it becomes a party song.

Same with the "anti-radio" songs written for the radio....as soon as its on the radio..its a radio song. You cant beat contradiction with fancy word play ladies, specially the ones in this band.

[Kotie]

I like this band. Three Cheers was such an edgy album for their genre, even if it was their so-called "sell-out" album. I'm so sick of people buying into what as become the mainstream idea to dislike anything in the mainstream. Comments like "Oh yeah, that was a good song until it became a single" just don't make any sense. You stopped liking a song because everyone else did and you have to be your own unique little snowflake? Get over yourself.

To play devil's advocate, I can completely understand how someone wouldn't like this band, and I know they're just the last grope of a dying scene. I'm not going to sit here and say MCR is the best band ever and piss off if you think otherwise. Something about them just catches my ear though.

Also, def will check out this new album.

Black Parade was my favorite album of 2007, i thought it was great. 3 cheers was amazing as well, as was bullets. i dont get the hate going on around this band, they write unique music, if you dont like it you dont like it, there's no reason to bash the band.

I'm sorry, but they do not write unique music.
They are a very stereotypical band who write for their crowd not themselves.

Id really love to hear a band that sounds like them, because i've yet to find one. Any suggestions?

[humperdunk]

are they just removing any comments that don't say good things about MCR? way to let people express their opinions...

Ah. Christ. I can't wait.

But I have seen this on every news article about MCR too much.

DON'T JUDGE A BAND BY HOW THEY LOOK.
I don't judge slipknot, even though they wear some pretty messed up stuff, so don't judge My Chemical Romance.

We judge them on how they sound! Slipknot could wipe the floor with MCR anytime

whoops.

We remove comments that "bash" the band. It's okay to say "I don't like MCR." It's not okay to say "MCR are fags."

I can't see them ever doing an album I like more than The Black Parade. I loved that album and then bought the previous one. So dissapointed.
are you kidding me? you liked the Black Parade but not Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge. im actualy getting mad, becuase 3 cheers was way better than black parade, how the herll could you not like it

all three albums are amazing. tbp is not as rough, but its still got the energy of three cheers and bullets

right... short description. "like music that literally places the icepick in your stomach"

mcr is the bomb cant wait 4 the 4th.

[SOADriff]

hopefully it wont sound like shit

[ValenceElectron]

MCR has always had a soft spot in my heart, but after The Black Parade... eh. Although, the pre-release news bits on this seem more like the MCR we all got into than the ones about the Black Parade.

I thought for a second, 'wow, there are so many positive and constructive comments on this', but then I saw '74% spam-free, 48 comments removed'.

[Lemoninfluence]

checked again

[braineater.]

They played some of the new songs in LA this weekend! Honestly? It sounds like MCR and The White Stripes made some hot, hot sexins and 9 months later MCR's new album was born. So, so much better than The Black Parade from what I can tell.

Thank god for that, too, because The Black Parade was my least favorite album.

[AmplifySilence]

Best song yet? That's still not sayin much.

Yeah, sounds completely retarded. And writing their greatest song ever? Ha. It better be really good, considering I think MCR is, at the very best, abysmal. I'll look to give it a listen, so when it's terrible I can bash the band relentlessly.

Yeah, really crappy reason, and another MCR hater, but I won't deny it. I'm jus' sayin'.

[diefordethklok]

The way I see it,
Silverstein's new album just kicked ASS.
It's their fourth one (a shipwreck in the sand).
Four is the luckiest number, don't ask why.
And well, Silverstein's third album
(arrivals and departures) was terrible.
It was my least favorite.
Lots of bands just came out with lucky number fours, haha.
So we'll see.

Anyone know how the new aiden is, by the way?
It's THEIR fourth!
I was a huge fan of their first album.
As well as silverstein's.
And aiden's.

[nightraven]

checked..

[edinfang]

I have mixed feelings about MCR I find them Quite immature... Their fan base mostly consists of 11-14year old girls

Because before the pretentious toss that was the black parade, they were actually a ****ing good band that were very good at what they did.

[MaidenandEddy]

I have to agree with a lot of the above - I too believe theyve gone downhill with each album. The Black Parade was godawful in my opinion, but then Im not a big fan of depressin lyrics and song titles like 'Cancer' and 'I Don't Love You'

However, Im gonna do what I do with all new albums - put all previous feelings about the band to one side and listen to the album with an open mind.

[WIREDTOTHEMOON]

Im in love with gerard way he is so sexy in the music video helena!!!!!

Must be a lot of 11-14 year old girls in this thread.

[moshing madman]

yes there goin back to there older stuff it was a lot better than the black parade imo but dont get me wrong i liked the black parade but hopefully itll be nothing like desolation row as that song was shit

[§ynysterSte]

tooo gimmicy:\ sorry

[kewljoe]

I'm excited about this album, couple of songs that got out from it sounded really good

[alaster91]

It's not so much the "emo" side of the band that I don't like, as much as it is the way they've gotten away from the gothic/poetic style I felt in their guitar work and Ways vocals. Songs like "Vampires Will Never Hurt You" show just how dark they can get in their storytelling. I mean, they still sing about people dying and such in "The Black Parade", but the way that they go about matching the music to the mood is just horrific. I hope they're done exploring his whole "emo" scene. I mean, until "The Black Parade",they were always an emotional band, but never "emo".

I think it is worth to give MCR another shot.

Still, the song sounds fcuking emo to me.

Oh don't be such a buzz kill, it was obviously a joke :P

I'm not looking forward to it. Nothing I've listened to by MCR I've really liked. I'll give it a try, but not getting my hopes up.

[roknrollmasta86]

I really like My Chemical Romance I have The Black Parade and Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge. I am looking forward to the new cd but i am a bit worrieed about what the new sound will be cuz theyve pulled off the "dead walking" and "violence and vidictive acts go hand in hand" and they did it well but it will be hard to pull off something else cuz they are know known as a dark band with a sarcastic kick

[jay3213]

Used to like these guys... but nahhh

[Chaperoni]

It's probably just a cover of Three Blind Mice

[MGB2]

i honestly hate my chemical romance

[intenseshawn]

it shouldnt be too hard to write their greatest song considering all of their other songs suck

[whiplash13]

intenseshawn wrote:

This. Just another trendy emo "rock" band

[rebelmidget]

I just want more of the raw, kickass-itude of their first album. I'm a big fan of most of their work, but they could use a little more oomph.

[Wesseem]

well it's easy to make your best song ever when as a band you have set the bar really...

....reeeeaaaallllly low.

An article about an unreleased song. Slow news day, I guess.

[Yoda_is_real]

yay for them not being fags for once and reverting to the old days

[x_hud]

I like how people think they can make themselves better by posting rude things about other people.

People that slur bands such as my chemical romance just want to be cool, or are trying a wee bit too hard to be intelligent.

If you slur bands it makes you look stupid

[element4433]

rechecked.

[Steriogramrules]

By the way, I actually think Mychem are alright. They're just so easy to make fun of and the whole scene just pisses me right off. Emo isn't a genre, it was just a made up word to describe some shitty fashion. Panic at the Disco were an overmanufactured band used to fuel the trend. To make MONEY. It was fixated on the lead singer, which is why in the mix you basically can't hear any guitar. All you can hear is the lead singers typical emo wannabe voice.

[x_hud]

Oh my goodness christ.
I love MCR, but I heard 3 new songs (live) on youtube... they sound awful. Like this is a complete jump from ALL their other music.

Death before disco is WAY too poppy.

Ugh.

[Steriogramrules]

Are you freakin serious? The entire black parade album sounded like a COVER CD! It's all heard before. The only 2 songs on the whole disc that sounded slightly original were famous last words and sleep. And maybe the end, but it was only an intro so it doesn't count for much.

[Nameless742]

Hmm, The more Albums MCR make, the more they'll get bricked at concerts by Metal-heads.
You have to appreciate their bravery at least.

[crackhutch]

Can't stand any of their previous songs, but I'll have a listen to see if they change my mind, so far, highly doubting it.

[Lemoninfluence]

checked.

[WARLOCK123]

should be good. Their pre Black parade stuff is my favourite, even the band got bored of playing TBP. I hope the album is like 'Three Cheers' (their best work imo) but I'm also glad they are bringing back some of the stuff from the 1st album.

[Shawn Galea]

it should be cool but all is to see

[John74]

I was an intense MCR fan for a very long time, and I was never fond of the Black Parade... I love Bullets and the majority of Three Cheers blows my mind.

That being said, and having heard the new songs live on Buzznet, I am very disappointed. I really wanted an old sound return. Doesn't look like it. It's so upsetting liking a band as much as you do and then having them completely change gears and go somewhere else. Maybe the album will sound different, but as of now, I don't plan on buying it.

LOVE My Chem. And I can't wait for the album to drop... Does anyone know the exact date it comes out? Or has that not been announced yet?

[Panda_bear493]

They haven't said what time the album comes out I hoping for really soon.. They have quick ass songs... But I agree with whoever said you can't judge a band by their apperance because yeah they might be childish but let's face it weather you ten or eighty years old you still have some child in you unless ur an alien haha who knows?!!! All I know is MCR rocks! I absolutely love them. All the band members are unic aswell as their music!
Cant wait for their album!
