My Chemical Romance are back with their fourth studio album ‘Danger Days: The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys’, and it has to be said it truly does more justice than its predecessor before it ‘The Black Parade’ but quite obviously never will be as good as ‘I Brought you my Bullets, you Brought me your Love’ or ‘Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge’.

The feeling of this album and the video’s released in conjunction with it, is one of a futuristic concept, bold, brilliant and colourful, different to anything this band has ever done. A new image and a different concept sees My Chemical Romance back on top and writing anthems for fans to really sing along to, for instance ‘Sing’ being the fourth track on the album is lyrically simple yet the music is as expected, their own sound and nothing more.

The recent release ‘Na Na Na’, the second track of the album is a turbulence of fast and powerful music and lyrics, aiding to the albums concept. With mentions of David Bowie and songs about an alternative reality, this album is really worth a listen and a particular interesting new addition to the good old iPod or Record Collection.

Available on iTunes, CD record and CD record box set (free with ‘Danger Days’ bandanna)
