re vampire ..
my fave part is the bass drone at the end (don't get me wrong, the song is a total belter)
the whole album is so crisp and sharp (which for once i really think works .. ), and then at the very end they drop this almighty bass drone at the end as if to say, "yeah, we know .. "
f*ckin' love this album ..

cranking the volume a little louder each time
post bottle of red wine, this can never be loud enough.
though suspect my kids/neighbours would disagree.

a couple of weeks ago i was in a car with my dad, driving back from the countryside, and put this on and TURNED IT UP and for a little while everything was perfect

Yeah I had a similar experience a month or two ago. Great car music.

am always kinda surprised by the sustained love on this thread since a) i felt a little alone in my enthusiasm for the record at the time, iirc i was one of only a handful of people to vote for it in Pazz & Jop and the only ilxor and b) i haven't really gone back and listened to it as much as other people since then

You weren't the only ilxor, I'm pretty sure I voted for it too. I still get a kick out of it.

oh ok cool, dunno your irl name so i wouldn't have known
― the show must goon (some dude), Sunday, 16 September 2012 01:29 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, no reason you would. Just checked, I voted it #7, between Marnie Stern and Killing Joke. Seems about right.

I have recently discovered an unexpected love for esp. the last couple of MCR records. That awesome interview upthread made me feel less weird about it.

They strike a really great balance btwn sincerity and sneer that reminds me of, well, y'know.

So MCR is releasing 10 of the songs that were scrapped during the Danger Days sessions over the next couple of weeks. The first two, "Boy Division" and "Tomorrow's Money," came out today and they are nice and snarly!

that's pretty cool to hear! i like most of the songs on this better than the stuff on the proper album, worth checking out for anyone who hasn't heard it:

i think i might put this album on literally every time i remember it exists

boy division!
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 31 October 2012 19:53 (eleven years ago) link
"Boy Division" is good! I'd be happy w/ that as a teaser for a new record.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 7 November 2012 23:25 (eleven years ago) link
second pair of outtakes is out -- "AMBULANCE" and "Gun." are both great
― The Doc Morbama (some dude), Monday, 26 November 2012 13:56 (eleven years ago) link
on cursory first listen the latter seems to stray into quasi-"political" territory, not sure how I feel about this development
― Simon H., Monday, 26 November 2012 14:24 (eleven years ago) link
well they shelved it so it's not really a development at this point haha
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 26 November 2012 17:52 (eleven years ago) link
I'm just now hearing the DD outtakes on the Mad Gear and Missle Kid EP and they're pretty good!
Tunes on CW vol. 3 are pretty huge.

Gerard put a song on soundcloud under the name 'Danny The Street,' pretty good: http://kroq.cbslocal.com/2012/12/07/my-chemical-romances-gerard-way-releases-punk-track-as-danny-the-street/
― some dude, Tuesday, 18 December 2012 13:32 (eleven years ago) link
OK on sober listen "The Light Behind Your Eyes" is just too broad/soppy for me. Just a step too far into saccharine. On the other hand "Gun" remains ludicrously catchy, though I imagine they'd be in heaps of trouble had it been a single rather than a c-side.
― Simon H., Monday, 24 December 2012 17:20 (eleven years ago) link
i like all of these songs a lot but i'm also glad they scrapped them and did danger days instead
― emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Monday, 24 December 2012 20:39 (eleven years ago) link
are these offcuts going to get a physical release at some point ?
― mark e, Monday, 24 December 2012 20:46 (eleven years ago) link
As some sort of boxset, I think.
― Simon H., Monday, 24 December 2012 21:20 (eleven years ago) link
number four is out today

'kiss that ring' is very QOTSA

thanks for the heads up; #3 was the first set that did nothing for me, those guys really love their boring power ballads

Yes, the movement. The rises and falls in this tune are so seductive.

tim "summertime" is my favorite mcr song ugh
the tracklist to the hits comp underlines for me that though they had a solid run of singles, they weren't really a singles band, except for in the Black Parade era, which is funny because that's when they made their most obvious Big Statement Album attempt.
― Simon H., Wednesday, 19 February 2014 03:29 (ten years ago) link
'new' song sucks, wish they'd left it at Conventional Weapons
