For Fans Of: The White Stripes and The Velvet Underground.

Figuring out how each of the new songs goes, deciding which songs we're going to use for the next release, thinking about doing some more writing. It's all preparing for the next step right now.

Album Review: My Chemical Romance - Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys
When it comes to bands, evolution is kind of a strange thing. Fans get accustomed to what they think their favorite band should sound like, and when the new album doesn’t exactly line up with expectations, they get angry. Change can be a risky endeavor.
So what does this have to do with My Chemical Romance? Well, a lot, if one examines “Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys”. “Danger Days” holds a lot of great material, but gone are the days of the visceral, manic My Chemical Romance.
