My Chemical Romance's newest album, Danger Days: The True Lives of Fabulous Killjoys, was one of this year's most anticipated releases. Did it live up to its expectations?  I think not. I believe Danger Days when over and beyond its expectations. The album is a huge improvement from Black Parade. Influenced by everything from drugs to the boys love for comic book this album is sure to make it big.

Look Alive Sunshine: the album starts off with the character, radio DJ Dr. Death Defying. His deep dark but energetic voice is the hope for an incredible start.

Na Na Na: The Bowie influenced song was the first single off the album and certainly made fans excited for the rest of the album

SING: . Although, peaceful and MCR aren't normally used in the same sentence, peaceful is exactly how this song is(compared to the other tracks at least) Gerard Way turns down his vocals in this track and marks it as the albums slow song.

Planetary (GO!): The songs starts out with almost techno-dancey sirens and Gerard chanting. Without a doubt this track is going to be fun to dance(or mosh) to at concerts and great for working out.

The Only Hope For Me Is You: The second single off the album. Lyrically this song seems to be about the tragedy of 9/11 and a few other horrific disasters that have occured.

Jet-Star and the Kobra Kid/Traffic Report: Dr. Death Defying comes back to warn listeners that something has gone wrong. He warns/asks everyone to " Keep your boots tight, keep your guns close, and die with your mask on if you’ve got to."

Party Poison: Recently called Death Before Disco. The songs starts off with a woman speaking what seems to be Japanese and then bursts right back into drum-rhythm, then guitar and then more guitar and then even more guitar. 

Save Yourself (I'll Hold Them Back): May become the new single(its only a rumor). Certainly a fan favorite, and one of my personal faves off this album

S/C/A/R/E/C/R/O/W/: Now, this is definitely the slow song of the album. The song breaks with a melodic and beautiful guitar part and then it turns into a small acid trip for you ears. "let’s pick some flowers and run through the meadow together." Seems very Beatles inspirational with all the hippie trippie sounds. Thumbs up!

Summertime: The most pop-ish song on the album and will easily be on my summer soundtrack! MCR knows how to write a cute when they want to.

DESTROYA: This track (which has a huge Red Hot Chili Pepper vibe) starts off with a small sound check. Very energetic and high tempo, which is just what the doctor ( Dr. Death Defying to be extact) ordered after the last couple slower tracks. The track has very powerful chants and guitar parts. "You don’t believe in God, I don’t believe in luck, but I believe in the enemy!"

The Kids From Yesterday: The track's melody is melancholic and dark and keeps a great beat and tempo all the way through. This will most likely a be big hand clapper during shows. You can't help but sing along and feel touched.

Goodnite, Dr. Death: Dr. Death Defying sings us to sleep with American National Athem which of course ends in a big explosion.

Vampire Money: The final song on the album and my personal favorite. Starts off with a similar intro as The Sweet's Ballroom Blitz. This song is what the members of the MCRarmy that have been with the band since Bullets have been wanting. You remeber the music video for Teenagers? You remember the gas mask wearing cheerleaders with the guns? Well, this song is exactly like that, except the guns shoot confetti and the gas masks are painted colorful like Lucha libres'.
