 My Chemical Romance have been saddled with a variety of different labels over the course of their careers. Emo was popular with the ignorant, gimmick with the unimaginative. But one that never stuck is probably the best description of the band I can come up with: pure, uninhibited rock and roll. While each album carried with it an underlying concept that helped to spice things up a bit, My Chemical Romance routinely infused every track therein with raw emotion and inspirational passion. Unfortunately, their flair for the dramatic gained as many haters as it did lovers, and they became a very polarizing band even during their formative years.I'm not going to lie, My Chemical Romance has been one of my favorite acts since discovering Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge in high school. A clever mix of graphic imagery and teenage rebellion, it hit me harder than any album had before. I soon grew out of the weird phase that made them idols to me in the first place, but I was happy to see that the band was maturing with me. Their next release, The Black Parade, kept every bit of that cinematic magic while expanding their sound. The theatrical influences of older bands like Pink Floyd and Queen shone through beautifully as My Chemical Romance crafted yet another world for their fans to fall into. So with the announcement of Danger Days, it seemed My Chemical Romance was well on their way to another smash hit. Seemingly set in a post-apocalyptic California, the individual members of the band adopted the persona of a group of rock and roll rebels that go by the name The Fabulous Killjoys. While few hints of the concept make their way into the album, the sun bleached intensity of it all really shines through at key moments in the album. The ridiculously named “Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)” provides an excellent introduction to Danger Days and the world it represents. While the titular backing vocals are a bit grating when they first explode onto the track, the foundation they form behind Gerard Way's own vocal talent gives the song a jumping and enjoyable rhythm. “Bulletproof Heart” follows close behind the first single, and softens the adrenaline a bit in preparation for the rest of the album. Still incredibly upbeat and catchy, “Bulletproof Heart” is probably the deepest track on the album. The landscape it creates through both the music and Way's ever-improving lyric writing is beautiful and encapsulates the overall theme and atmosphere of the album....full text |

| My Chemical Romance used to be so sad, they could make your cold goth heart bleed. On 2006's The Black Parade, Gerard Way wailed about cancer and misery, emerging as a savior for the broken and the damned. Now, he's dyed his hair fiery red, and he's pissed at everyone: junkies, party girls, Hollywood and most of all himself, for getting so damn famous. "When you want to be a movie star/Play the game and take the band real far/Play it right and drive a Volvo car/Pick a fight at an airport bar," Way scoffs on the dirty-garage scorcher "Vampire Money." Keep up with rock's hottest photos in Random Notes. That bad attitude suits this synth-laced album, which plays like a love letter to all the juvie-hall grads and Ritalin rats still waiting for someone to build a bomb big enough to blow all the pop bands off the airwaves. Somewhere between the metal- messiah riffs of " Destroya" and the Red Bull-fueled stomp of "Bulletproof Heart," Danger Days offers a total rejection of bloated celebrity rock. Intercut with fake radio-DJ skits (supposedly transmissions from a post-apocalyptic radio station) and powered by spite for rock-star clichés, MCR trade their signature Broadway-musical theatricality for simple loud-fast defiance. "Sing it out for the ones that'll hate your guts!" Way declares. But it's gonna be hard to get people to hate songs like "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)," an anthem that taunts (nyah, nyah!) you even as it gets you to sing along....full text |
