A RELEASE DATE HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED (via Rolling Stone) FOR THE NEXT MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE ALBUM! November 22! (Yes, I AM going to consider it a slightly-belated birthday present to me, thanks.)
I am amused by the album description from Rolling Stone:
My Chemical Romance had nearly finished a dark Stooges influenced LP when frontman Gerard Way came to an important realization: He hated it. "We were just trying to be America's young rock band," he recalls. "We did that, and what came back was boring." They scrapped the record and started over, writing and recording a new set of songs, mostly synth-happy, technicolor pop tunes, complete with an unabashed dance beat on "Planetary (GO!)." Like the band's last album, 2006's Black Parade, the new disc has a unifying conceit: It's supposed to be a transmission from a post-apocalyptic radio station in 2019. "It's a party record," says Way. "The scariest thing was to admit to ourselves that we wanted to have a good time." Way is particularly fond of the obnoxiously catchy opening track, "Na Na Na." "It's the pop-punk 'Hey Ya,'" he says. "It sounds like a big gang of children yelling. It's dumb as fuck, really."
Post-apocalyptic pop punk? Okay, why not! This certainly explains all the mystery Twitter accounts that read like Mad Max crossed with Fear & Loathing. And the references to rayguns.
(Gerard, honey. The blond hair? Really? ::sigh::)
New album! Which means TOUR! (I hope, I hope.)
::geebles some more in delighted fangirl fashion::
