My Chemical Romance call it a day

Somehow I missed this Cave Carson related picture disc from RSD.

love the Pixies-ish intro on that one

also I only just heard the Japan bonus tracks for Danger Days and it's criminal that they didn't make the album proper

this was the greatest band of all time

none of their albums were perfect but: the sheer volume of ideas in each one! they were accused at the time of (and i even thought of them as) being another indistinguishable mass of mall emo but: no one sounded like them, especially by three cheers, that hybridized glam/arena rock/hardcore thing was theirs, and they made three very different albums that somehow found a new way to explore that dynamic every time. (and they also shelved a pretty decent one!) sidenote the jump in quality from the debut to three cheers, the feeling that their music had been sharpened down into this perfectly-edged thing, is so fun to experience

lmao I tweeted this this morning, in a deliberate attempt to be inflammatory (though I do actually believe it)

MCR released more worthwhile music than Hole and Nirvana combined.
